Shirleys Plays for this weekend

After looking at the entire card, I can only come up with 3 games which interest me this upcoming weekend. All selections are on underdogs, and it would behoove you to shop around and find the best number possible, as the lines on these games are near important key numbers.

My selections:

1) Rutgers +3 vs Syracuse

This number is currently available at the time of this posting.

2) New Mexico +2.5 vs New Mexico State

Obviously, we should watch the line closely hoping to get +3 here. If the line starts to move downward, bet it fast.

3) Arizona +13.5 vs USC

Waiting here for a possible +14 would be a wise choice. Same suggestion as in the New Mexico State wager.

I prefer to wager on college basketball where 1 or 2 turnovers will not impact the pointspread winner as it does in football. However, since it's not the 3rd week of January, I am left with these small plays.

My suggestion is to not wager more than 1.0 % of your gambling bankroll on any one game.

I welcome all comments, and GOOD LUCK!!

Thanks gman21000. I have been fortunate to do very well for a number of consecutive years in CBB. I am looking forward to January 21, 2012, as this will be the first day of CBB wagering for me.

However (and unfortunately),  I do not have the same confidence, or a time proven method in College Football. So play these games very small, and with much caution.

I see this morning that the line has dropped on the Rutgers game to +2.5 and even +2 at a few places.

Oh yeah...........what if those 1 or 2 turnovers are in the last minute of play of the baketball game. It would matter then !!!!

turnovers in football are unpredictable.........YOU CANNOT cap turnovers. It's inevitable they will occur............you just hope you're on the right end of them.

Alien 1, Yes you're correct turnovers at the end of games hurt the most, HOWEVER, the importance of any turnover in NCAA Football has somewhere between 5-8 times the impact of a turnover in College Basketball. The reason is because they are much less frequent.

So, in basketball, turnovers don't tend to impact the final score ( totals range in the130-140 pts area) as much as in football where the totals hover around 49 - 50 range.

Not knowing the result of the game, I'll take my chances on any team that is +2 in turnovers in College Football vs the spread. I can't say I would feel as confident with a +2 advantage in NCAAB, that's all.

I hope we can look forward to you posting your hoop plays here???GL Whatever you decide. 

It's quite a while after the fact, but these weak football picks went 2-1.

Since I have had many requests, I would like to address the group of people inquiring about my College Basketball Selections for this year.

At this point in time, my intentions are to post my Basketball lines "for all to see", beginning late January or early February. Unless something drastically changes, this is the schedule I will keep. If we can win 1/2 the units we won last year, it will be a successful college campaign. I have no official plays until then. Best of luck AND

Best of Holiday Wishes to all,

Shirley

Looking forward to the picks again

Happy Holidays
