Trailed that shockers play at -18. Knew that was high. Glad I just made a small play on it. Kinda knew it was a bad bet when I hit the submit button

No problem at all. I encourage others opinions. That's what I like about this thread. Multiple opinions and differing angles for all contests. Gives you plenty of info to make your best selections.

If I can win the 3 golf bets I will only lose juice on the shocker abortion.

You made an awesome assessment, Piercy just cant seem to make the same putts he was making yesterday to save par. So far so good!

Jong Ajax is really sleepwalking through this game.

Kopeka not firing like I anticipated. All tied with 3 to play. I really have underrated Adam Scott all year. Guess I thought the putter change would be far more significant

Soccer 2-1. At least we get a push worst case scenario!

Going back to the well for the second time this week as the play is in the Dutch 2nd division (Jupiler League).

The team with the highest scoring games (Almere City - 3.81 gpg) play host to the 3rd highest (Jong Ajax - 3.5 gpg).

Jong Ajax have conceded 2+ goals in 11 of 13 road games. Almere City have conceded 2+ in 7 of 13 home games.  

After their big over earlier in the week Jong Ajax is now 12 out of 14 with 3+ goals.  Almere City are also an impressive 20/26 in 3+ goal games.  

I like the fact that neither team has a lot to play for as this should lead to an open game...no real reason to play tight defense.  Almere had an 11 goal affair the last time out but I don't want to get too greedy and will settle for 4.

Another highly juiced game but I'm willing to lay it. 

$$$$ Pick: Almere City vs Jong Ajax over 3 (-127)

PUSH with 10mins + injury time.  Pull the goalies!!

DJ came out firing, Scott is playing well but really need him to start making birdies. I really wish i took Bubba after seeing Rickie with that back to back doubles

I'm not 100 percent but this will probably be there senior night and they will want to finish with a perfect record at home and do it in dominating fashion. They have made me a lot of money at home and I'm sticking with them and getting on it before the line moves. Also for those of you who love at least 1 stat? Akron shot 6 - 11 in the last meeting while Kent St shot 22-32 and only won by 9. That is an a number that won't be close to being repeated. GL to everyone and let's keep this thing moving.

Line has dropped to 7.5 big line movement

Just want to let everyone know I just locked in UNI -5..... I have bet on them 4 times this year all as favorites, and in those four games they have lost all of them straight up.  So if you're a fan of trends.... the Saluki ML might be a little enticing. Just thought I'd share

I just checked my site again. -530 McGregor, and -310 holm. I actually think Diaz is a live dog if he tries to take this fight to the ground, and make it ugly. And by ugly I mean doesn't stand toe to toe and try and trade with McGregor, bc that will be all McGregor, just too much movement. Diaz and his extra wide boxing stance will be no match for mcgregors stand up. But if Diaz tries to make this an ugly grappling fight he is a live dog. But then again we know the Diaz brothers aren't geniuses and they are ballsy egomaniacs, so my guess is he is gonna try and trade with McGregor and fight standing up. If I weren't a hugeo McGregor fan I would lay some money on Diaz.



Take the rounds bet for McGregor fight, under 2 /12. Easy money

Yeah I can't figure that one. They've played close the past couple of years but Akron is a juggernaut at home. Add in the revenge factor and the free throw discrepancy and I don't see how Akron doesn't roll in this one.

No game with more than three goals in the Jupiler League today. Very strange.

Got Bubba in my annual pool for this week. Need to pick one different golfer for every tournament before season starts. Pays 4 segments. 2 tournaments left and I am 2 spots out of the money with Na next week. Need Bubba in top 3
