Holmey's $$$$ Thread SUNDAY - Post Your BEST Play (With Writeup) - 03.06.16

Really how hard is it to just post DAILY THREAD and account for your own bets.
You post your play/record and reasoning under it and it can be seen by all,if your not willing to check results then your not that committed to succeeding,everyone wants Holmey to do it all for them so they can just come and look who the Top 7 guys have,well reality is every good thing comes to an end and you have to search for stuff sometimes.Those willing to search can find good plays and reasoning,easier when it is in 1 thread...The problem is if one person or 2 or 3 don't regulate it you will have falsified records because some have too big an ego to lose and will record false records until caught,its the reality unfortunately.

I like Temple today playing for their 20th win (That means something regardless what you folks think) against a sub par team. I might take them at the Half depending how I'm feeling. And yes there was some funny games yesterday, but there's always funny games so don't let that dictate your picks , I'm.also taking Miami 1h when it opens and OKC over. and Golden State 1quarter

Guys in no way should we let this thread die. I am willing to try to keep it alive. I understand the premise but not sure how Holmey decided who he gave the win to when multiple people posted the same game. I enjoyed this thread so so much these past couple of weeks, and I cashed the last two weeks, I just hate to see this thread die. It was really fun looking at it first thing in the morning when I woke up. If you guys are willing to help me out a touch, I will do my best to keep it alive.

You win some and you lose even more. That's the name of the game, my game actually lol.
I'm not a participant in this contest but love coming on here and following along. No one wins 100% of the time. Everyone loses a "can't lose" or a "lock" bet every now and then. Have a drink, smoke a cigar, and have fun again

I read this with regards to the game as well:
[Quote: Originally Posted on Reddit] Temple tends to play down to their competition.

Dunphy is a poor motivator, and his teams often play with seemingly no interest in games like these. Source: Temple alum. I don't bet Temple for many reasons, one of which is their ability to lose a game like today.
Gonna stay away from this one.

When the tough get going, the tough stick around and fight through it. That's the bottom line. Will this thread be a success or will it be a flash in the pan? That's what we don't know at the moment.
While it is true that all good things do come to an end eventually, this is not the way I envisioned this thread going out.
If USC bows out just because he can't take a tough loss or a bad day, he is not the leader you all envisioned. As one poster said, the work is still left to be done.
Gamble for entertainment, invest for wealth!

Limited stats as scoresandodds does not have this game up for view tonight, but know Terps are 4-5 last 9 away SU and Hoosiers are 10-0 home last 10 SU. ATS, last 10 games are equal. Same old story of last home game, senior night, etc. Indiana rolls by double digits and marylands overall season ATS record of 8-13-1 just doesnt match well here in this spot. MY PLAY IS ON $$$$ INDIANA HOOSIERS -5 $$$$

This is the first time I've actually posted, but I've been following this thread for 2 weeks, and I have had 2 of the most profitable weeks in recent memory. Sure I have a day where I lose everything (Friday), but never without a day where I come back and hit nearly everything (yesterday).
Can't take the blame for others losses. Keep this bad boy going, so I can keep buying stupid things with the money I bank!

This thread takes an absolute ridiculous amount of work to keep up as well as USC does it - It's almost hard to imagine as the job continues to get more difficult as more and more people come to the thread and start picking games...When I started about 2 weeks ago there was around 10-20 people doing it and now it seems like it may be over 50 and only growing more....
Not sure how anyone will be able to pick it up and keep up with it.

Good luck everyone. You guys have this thing running smoothly. You can keep it rolling without me. I'm not doing anything except costing people money at this point.
Maybe check you all next fall.......
Say it ain't so Joe you have kept many of us in the black and your forum thread is crucial to winning the informational write ups alone have been invaluable. I found this thread a month ago and have been up over 30 units since gaining access to this informational cornucopia!
If you do leave I want yo to leave knowing that you MADE me a ton of cash and for that I say thank you!

For the sake of us bookie killers, someone who has time and makes a sizable amount of income betting, please keep this thread going.

I am going to have to agree on the Temple game being another let down in the making. Partly due to it being the one I liked the most on the board.
hmmm....
What a pleasant surprise to come to after church. 4-0!! 
I ended up slamming 5x my normal bet on it so may just call it a day

Since my last post did not post the image here is what I did
I took FSU and Cal money line parlay for five hundy
Then I too FSU cal money line and added Iowa +1.5 (thanks again to bubinski) for 200
Then I took the value before tha cal game bought a point and got az state at +7 and hit the middle for 500
The three plays paid a total of $1900 so USC HOLMEY and this thread won me money last night 100% of those plays where from information on this thread I will do the same today with temple and another team I feel strong with pairing an early and late game money line parlay.
I have used this system of hedging and middles for thirty years and it is a steady way of making money year over year you won't retire but you also limit your losses and bask in sunshine when you hit the middle!

Purdue (7:30PM ET Big Ten Network) – Couple losses for us in
here the past couple days but this is the absolute best bet of the entire week
and we get back to track for $$$$ when the #15 Purdue Boilermakers take on the
Wisconsin Badgers at Mackey Arena in West Lafayette. We highlighted Wisconsin’s improbable run
last weekend when we backed them to win and cover against Michigan and while
everything the Badgers have done in the wake of Bo Ryan’s retirement has been
admirable, they are totally outclassed by a Purdue team that has just one loss
at Mackey this season and hasn’t lost at home in two months. Purdue grinded out a 61-55 win in Madison way
back in December and while Wisconsin has come a long way since then, so have
the Boilermakers who are a legitimate top 15 team in the country. Both of these teams will be in the NCAA
tournament this year but a bye in the Big Ten tournament is up for grabs today
and it should be a fantastic environment inside Mackey as Purdue honors their seniors. From a matchup perspective there’s just no
way Wisconsin is going to be able to handle the size Purdue has inside with the
likes on Vince Edwards, AJ Hammonds and Caleb Swanigan a threat to score but
also hammer the boards on both ends.
Purdue has one of the best frontcourts in the country and it would take
an ungodly effort from the perimeter for Wisconsin to not get completely blown
out in this game. The thing that kills Wisconsin
here is the fact their entire offense runs through Nigel Hayes and Bronson
Koenig and we see this as a bad matchup for both of them. Hayes likes to will his way to the basket and
that’s going to be difficult with seven footer AJ Hammonds patrolling the paint
while Raphael Davis has become such a great on ball defender that he will be
able to just about single handedly take Koenig out of the game. That leaves inconsistent role players left to
put up big numbers to hang with a Purdue offense that puts up big numbers at
home and we just don’t see the Badgers being able to impose their will and play
this game at the slow pace they need to stick around. This is just an all-around bad matchup for
the Badgers and they have done enough where a beating isn’t going to hurt their
tournament standing and we expect exactly that as Purdue puts in a big effort
and runs Wisconsin out of West Lafayette by double digits this afternoon.
$$$$ Purdue -6
Guys I absolutely love this play and will be hammering this
as my biggest bet of the week. I’ve
watched almost every single game these two teams have played in Big Ten play so
far this season and there is nothing anyone could say to convince me that
Wisconsin isn’t getting absolutely throttled tonight. Wisconsin is for real but this is a terrible
matchup. Purdue by 20
Good luck and lets get it today!
