Been going strong of late after a slow start to the NCAAB season. I missed both Thursday and Friday b/c my computer crashed AGAIN!!! And Apple had already fixed it once, same issue. Pretty maddening but they encourage you to buy a whole new machine and then return it once yours is ready (mine is being sent out to Dallas for the repairs) so you're not left with no machine. Just strange practice to encourage a purchase and subsequent return but it's their business, not mine.
Now onto my business....huge amount of games and more than a handful I really like, starting with the early games tipping in about an hour:
OVER 140 (ARKANSAS/TEXAS A&M)...BIG PLAY!!!: Coming out hot here because there are strong trends pointing to this over and the way ARK has played on the road I would be surprised if this does not get to 150. Might start out slow like in some early games but the notion that the total has gone OVER in 10 of Texas A&M's last 12 games when playing Arkansas and that Arkansas themselves have gone over in 9 of their past 13 on the road make this a very strong play.
ST BONAVENTURE (+2) & ML (+120)...BIG PLAY!!!: Also incredibly attractive early played skewed to the road team in this instance. One big reason is because St. Bonaventure is 8-1 ATS in its last 9 games when playing UMass and an impressive 12-1 SU over the past 13 played against the Minutemen. The Bonnies win this game.
UNCG (+3): I'd also make this a big play but have to delineate to some degree so I'll ride this out in what should be a high scoring affair. UNCG are 6-1 ATS when playing on the road at Furman and 6-1 SU in those games. So getting a 3 spot is a good reason to ride this team.
INDIANA STATE (+1.5): 14-2 ATS in the last 16 played at home vs. the Illinois State Salukis. That's a pretty big sample size and a pretty good record against it!
VANDERBILT (+13): I was a bit surprised this hit 13 but I was taking it all the way down to 10. The Commodores will be up against it for sure but they are super competitive, even on the road, and have gone 8-2 ATS in the last 10 playing the Vols on their home court. Solid spot thought I'd be shocked if they won outright.
OVER 150.5 (WICSONSIN/PURDUE)...BIG PLAY!!!: The last of the early big plays, I almost bought the half point here because I've lost so many by half a point this year in CBB. Otherwise record would be much better. But with a total set so high I don't think it will bite us in the ass again. The last 5 between these teams have gone OVER and the last 5 Purdue home games have gone OVER. The Big10 has changed from a slug fest type league to a run and gun type (salivating over Iowa at MD tomorrow for a smash play). Play with confidence.
I will revisit and continue to add games as I have a chance to assess and analyze them. Lots of people on the board so lots of selections, do your own research, it always helps. Tail or fade, good luck to all...

Thanks. Long road ahead. CRUSHED NFL until I didnt' towards end of year, so was definitely disappointed. But have had a sublime run in NBA too and last year was quite challenging for me in basketball capping, strangely enough.
Hope you've been doing well partner

Adding two more plays. Not sure who will see these and who looks...
NORTHERN ILLINOIS (+9.5)
VIRGINIA TECH (-2)
I have Northern Illinois in a much closer game and Vtech has controlled the series with their in-state rivals especially in Blacksburg. I'll be back sporadically to add games, at least St. Bonaventure is looking solid on both fronts

Great start! Praying for a bunch of points and FT's late in the Ark/TAM game. Would love to pick up 7 quick units in the AM with 3 BIG PLAYS hitting. The others will have a whole half to decide what happens. But nice to hit big on St. Bonaventure, was never in doubt either.
Hoping everyone is having a profitable day.

Ok, solid 9-2 on the first leg, winning 3 BIG PLAYS in the process (and dropping one). Seems like these Saturdays are my day. Not getting cocky, happy if anyone tailed. If not, happy for my own small grip. That SB ML was also parlayed so great take back. Have some more plays a bit later:

8 plays posted but add 9 wins to your year to date?

BIG PLAYS are worth 2 bro. Both wins and losses. They are counted that way and separated out in BIG PLAY as well so you can just back out the big plays to see the overall since they are 2 units. It's just one unit for regular and two units for BIG PLAY. always been that way. Nothing wrong with things here, no need to try and make it a big deal. And Saint Bonaventure were two plays. So happy to clarify if you don't mean either of those.
For example, the next two plays were regular plays, they went 1-1 (VTech lost and Northern Illinois won). They will be counted as 1W and 1L.

No disrespect meant! I've followed you in NFL for a few seasons but I don't have the time or energy to track records. I appreciate your writeups and work to post your record! GL the rest of the night, and I promise to stay positive only in your threads from here on

I'm on it LV! I love that you responded to my message saying I didn't have time or energy to track plays with a reminder that I tracked your plays for a good portion of past Spring. Only for you, brother!

Really incredible day again. I think that's it for me. Record on the day was 13-4 so I picked up 9 units. Hit 4 out of the 5 BIG PLAYS which is great. I had done a small update earlier but doing a full day one here now:
I'm definitely back tomorrow with a few big plays I have my eye on. Hope everyone had a great day, been a nice run with a lot of games of late. I guess however we get there...Have a great night
