Holmey's $$$$ Thread SATURDAY - Post Your BEST Play (With Writeup) - 02.27.16
$$$$$$ Buffalo Sabres Money Line +$190
Wait till game time before pulling the trigger on this one. You'll likely get a better number on this live dog depending on how many of the weekend warriors lay their money down on what they think will be an easy win for the better rated SAN JOSE SHARKS playing at home.
Much respect, 23Skidoo. I got at +200. Thanks!

I like the spurs tonight. They are 2-1 in this series for this year by beating the rockets.
First game, spurs lost by 4
second game, won by 18
third game, won by 29
What this shows me is that them spurs knows how to contain Harden. They should be if they are considered as the one number contender in the nba on defense.
The rockets are 5th in the league in offense at 105.4 points per game. The spurs are 6th in the league in offense at 105.2. Not much difference there in offense huh but the really difference is the spur's defense.
The spurs are 21-9 SU on the road this season. Here is a key note on them spurs. They have not lost back to back this season so when they lose, next game, play the ML spurs.
The San Antonio Spurs are:
- 5-0 ATS in their last 5 vs. NBA Southwest.
- 13-5 ATS in their last 18 Saturday games.
- 17-8 ATS in their last 25 vs. Western Conference.
The Houston Rockets are:
- 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Saturday games.
- 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a winning road record
Give me the spurs -6

When la salle is a dog and playing at home, they are 2-6 SU and ATS. They only won 2 out of 19 of their previous games.
I have to give them credit for upsetting st. bonaventure though. No one saw that coming but after that game, they are back to the losing streak, losing the next 2 games.
They lack offense. Their previous 2 games losing streak, they only posted up 50 and 53 points. They only scored more than 70 points 2 times in their previous 16 games.
So la salle beat saint bona right? No big deal. Mason previous game, they beat VCU, a top tier team in the conference by 7.
Why spread so small?
La Salle Explorers are:
- 6-14-1 ATS in their last 21 overall
- 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 home games
- 1-4 ATS in their last five games against teams with losing records
Who cares, just give me George Mason -2

- No playing ranked team against no rank. The upset factor
- No playing away teams. Home crowd is the 6th man factor
- No playing if their ATS record is poorer than opponent
- No Reverse Line Movement factor
- No playing if line is more than 10. The OT can't cover factor
Western Michigan Broncos (11-17 overall, 10-12-1 ATS, 13-9-1 O/U) vs. Northern Illinois Huskies (18-10 overall, 12-10-1 ATS, 12-11 O/U)
Why night and day?
Western Michigan is 1-12 away
NIU is 15-1 at home
This stats alone is enough for a play. NIU is now at home. They both played before and western Michigan beat niu at their house. This is a revenge game for NIU here.
Both teams offenses are about the same but NIU has a stingy defense. They are ranked 60th in the nation and allows about 67 points per game. Here's the kicker. NIU is 40th in the nation in rebounding. I loved teams that can rebound well especially for the offensive board which means a possibility for padded points.
Western Michigan
- 3-7 ATS in their last 10 against teams with a winning percentage above .600
- 2-5 ATS in their last seven on the road vs. teams with a home winning percentage above .600
- 1-4 ATS in their last five on the road vs. teams with a winning home record
Northern Illinois
- 19-7-3 ATS in their last 29 at home
- 5-2 ATS in their last seven at home vs. teams with a losing road record

My 5th game is the 23rd ranked norte dame against fl state.
Notre Dame (19-8; 12-12-1 ATS; 13-12 O/U) vs. Florida State (16-12; 9-14-1 ATS; 13-11 O/U)
Notre dame is one game behind louisville and miami hurricanes so this game means something to notre dame. They are on course to play at home against miami and possible to take the 2nd place title later but first, they must win this game and if they win on out, they will get that 2nd place.
Both teams have a similar offense but notre dame has a better defense. Florida state is coming into this game with 4 previous SU and ATS lost.
Here is the kicker, in the last few games by florida state, they have given up 80+ points to their opponents.
Notre Dame Fighting Irish are:
- 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.
- 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Saturday games.
- 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against ACC teams.
Florida State Seminoles are:
- 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall.
- 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games against ACC teams.
- 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games vs. teams with a straight up winning record.
They opened up this game as a pk and I'm like they are not respecting norte dame at all. What is this? A trap line? Reverse line movement? Both teams can't be equal ranking so why the pk?
give me Notre dame -2 for no$$$$

Wow! Lot's of old-schoolers showing up and lots of new eyes on the thread too. Great to see!
Just want to re-point out and make sure that everyone gets the basic principles of what it takes to post a valid $$$$ that will be tracked......
1. Make sure it has "$$$$" prominently mentioned (and putting it in BOLD helps)
2. Make sure you include a valid line. M/L's have to be less than -129. We want the number you bet the game at, but also we would like the $$$$ posted close enough to when you put your bet in so we can get that line too.
3. A good writeup with original knowledge and insight. Not just stats and ATS numbers and "This team is hot" or "This team dominates at home". This is the main reason I don't put a $$$$ on the spreadsheet. I skip over several every day because the writeup is flimsy. ALL plays are thoroughly welcomed here, but to have your $$$$ tracked, you need to include these three things every time.
Thanks and good luck today!

ND has a better defense? According to Ken Pomeroy FSU ranks 77th while ND ranks 189.
Come on man. Obviously that ken is wrong when he ranks nortre dame as 1st in anything.
Here you go homeboy. Use this and see if fl state and notre dame is about a few level away in offense

In the game between St. Mary's CA @ University of San Francisco we have a St. Mary's team that is competing for conference seeding and is on the bubble for the NCAA tournament. St. Mary’s is tied with Gonzaga atop the WCC standings, with BYU only one game behind. Coach Randy Bennett noted, “We have a chance (to win league title). We have to play well and I am proud of our guys. We have to continue to improve and get better.” St. Mary’s is trying to avoid the NIT at all costs and looking to win out.
Standing in St. Mary’s way to the NCAA’s is USF. By all measures this is a bad matchup for USF. St. Mary’s is #1 in the nation in field goal percentage (50.9%), and #4 in three point percentage (42.2%). This spells trouble for a USF team that is #348 in three pointers allowed and #329 in three point percentage allowed. On the defensive end, St. Mary’s is #4 in the nation in points allowed per game, giving up only 60 ppg. Conversely, USF has given up 83.7 over its last three. St. Mary’s beat USF by 22 back in January @ St. Mary’s, and so USF will be looking for revenge. However, I do not see USF keeping it close against a highly motivated St. Mary’s team that is peaking at the right time. Lastly, this is St. Mary’s last game in conference, so expect them to leave nothing to chance and go all out. I think they easily win by double digits.
USC, give me St. Mary’s -8 ½ as the $$$$ play.

Was going over all the SEC games this morning and this one actually caught my eye. I am going to move over to the Big East and invade DC for the Butler v Georgetown game. This contest tips off at noon EST on CBS.
Butler is, according to Jerry Palm, on that proverbial fence,bubble (whatever term floats your boat). The Bulldogs have a 4-1 record vs teams that have a RPI between 51-100. The Hoyas sit at 91 which will improve, or add to Butlers case. In 4 of the last 6 games, the Bulldogs have scored 81,87,88 & 89. They are shooting at a 43% 3 pt clip over their last 5 & 38% for the season. The 3 headed Bulldog of Martin, Dunham & Jones have been quite a formidable trio this season. Add to those 3, Chrabascz & all have scored 20+ vs the Hoyas.
Hoyas are shooting 30% from 3 in their last 5 & 35% for the season. Georgetown holds a 3-7 record their last 10. That includes losing 3 straight and 6 of their last 7.
In their previous meeting this year, Butler prevailed 87-76 @ home as a 4 point favorite. That game flew over the total of 143.5. Butler has the edge in every shooting category except FT. I actually have 2 $$$$ picks on this game but can only use 1.
My $$$$ play is on the Butler Bulldogs -2.
I also love the Butler team total over. However it is not out yet at my book. I will post that play later with that total. Going for a sweep this week in my 4 $$$$ plays and am riding the Bulldog wave.
As always, GLTA
this is good one gator.
also georgetown is 1-7 ATS in their past 8 when playing a team with a winning record.

Brosuf....you gotta another parlay for the board today buddy? Not sure of the other comment posted cause I'm not seeing it
Parlay is on you buddy.
Pick a few from this thread and make the combination work for you.
I can only be responsible for my own picking and my own play. If lose, I lose my money.

I like memphis again. Why you say? Well didn't they smoked out them lakers last night? Well here they are again, playing against a team that is worst than them lakers.
The suns lost 13 previous straight games in a row. They are 3-33 SU their last 36 previous games.
Here is the best kicker. The suns shoots 53% from the foul line. So the spread in this game is +6.5 for the suns. All we need is for the suns to go to the foul line and miss about 7 free throws and there goes your cover.
The Memphis Grizzlies are:
- 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.
- 9-1 ATS in their last 10 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game.
- 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points.
- 8-2 ATS in their last 10 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game
The Phoenix Suns are:
- 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall.
- 5-13 ATS in their last 18 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game.
- 7-19 ATS in their last 26 vs. Western Conference.
- 6-18 ATS in their last 24 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.
Give me Memphis -6.5
Memphis got me a split yesterday!! May tail this as well! Love teams with momentum!!

Hey guys I just wanted to add some input on the IPFW game today. IUPUI beat IPFW earlier this year with a last second shot but absolutely dominated the game leading by 17 points in the 2nd hald. This is a rivalry game. IUPUI is at home. It is senior night. IPFW is guaranteed the #1 Seed in the tournament. Will IPFW play to better their overall record with hopes that a loss in the Summit Conf Tourney Championship would lead to an at large bid? Will IPFW spread the minutes around more than usual to get everyone some work and reduce injury chances on starters?

$$$$ = Utah (-3) over Arizona
Arizona is walking into their second pit of death this weekend, as Colorado beat them down the other night and Utah is even better than Colorado, and their fans will be at a fever pitch to beat the Wildcats. Its hard to think Arizona will lose two in a row, but Utah is one of the 3 tops teams in the Pac-12 and might be in line for a 3 or 4 seed in the Tourney. Arizona is a very good team, but they just aren't a good enough team to beat a Top-15 team on the road. Utah is balanced and can score from all over the floor. They have who I think is the best low-post, #5 in all of the NCAA in Jakob Poeltl, who is borderline unstoppable in the paint. Arizona does have a legit center in Tarczewski, but I don't think he can stop Poeltl without getting into foul trouble. Honestly, these teams are pretty evenly matched, but the advantages of home court and momentum are enough to push Utah over the edge here. My main concern is who will check Arizona's Ryan Anderson, who is a down-low force kind of like Charles Barkley was. I think Kuzma can use his length and athleticism to sow him down enough as long as he doesn't get into foul trouble. I think there is a good chance that Utah jumps out to a big lead here and just boat races UA today.
Good luck everyone!

Honestly, these teams are pretty evenly matched, but the advantages of home court and momentum are enough to push Utah over the edge here. My main concern is who will check Arizona's Ryan Anderson, who is a down-low force kind of like Charles Barkley was. I think Kuzma can use his length and athleticism to sow him down enough as long as he doesn't get into foul trouble. I think there is a good chance that Utah jumps out to a big lead here and just boat races UA today.
Good luck everyone!
