IT'S OVER TIME TO CELEBRATE! THE MOTHER OF ALL SLUMPS IS OVER! STANFORD COMES THROUGH AND IT ONLY COST ME A $11 DOLLAR BET ON COLORADO TO END THIS MADNESS!
-hoo!
HALLELUJAH!
-hoo!
I am glad to see you get that monkey off of your back, Smooth my brother! Eleven bucks, huh? 11 must be your lucky number. I only wish that you had turned into "Mr. Fade" earlier to save yourself the agony.
Now it is time for an EPIC win streak.
Make it happen!

There must have been some Luck blowing in the air last night, because Smooth ended 'the slump'.
The luck blew eastward and to the south, as well, because I had an incredible 22-9-1 (70.97%) record on all Covers picks last night; (mostly College Basketball), that translated to +5,900 in Covers Contest dinero. Last night's run allowed me to regain one of my lost red stars. Nice to see you again, Red! The last time that I had posted on here, I had two and a half red stars. Since then, it has been a long descent that saw me lose them, followed by a mighty uphill struggle just to get one of them back. One down and four to go!
At one point last night, I looked in and my record was a stunning 10-1 on the early games. The irony is that the one loss at that point happened to be my Streak Survivor pick. Thanks for nothing Orlando! That picked sucked everyone in because Atlanta was injured beyond belief and coming in off of a blowout loss. Orlando was at full strength and coming off of a blowout win.
I still don't know what the hell happened...lol. I am just glad that I was at L1, having lost my Streak O' Five the previous night with the Michigan State Spartans non-cover.
Tonight, it is Loyola Maryland -3.5 to start afresh.
I have noticed that everyone seems to be doing well lately, with the exception of Smooth's epic slump and W3 SFTC invisible (glass ceiling) barrier. lol Thankfully that has ended!
Well this has been far more long winded than I planned, so I will close here. Good luck to all and enjoy the All-Star Weekend Festivities! The Celebrity game and Rising Stars Challenge are tonight.

Just something I notice in the USC-AZ St line. The Total opened at 110. I took the Over in my Office Pool. Both teams average way over 110 points total. Today on Survivor the number has jumped to 113. That's a huge jump in the number. I think the books realized they made a serious overlay. Meanwhile Bovada hasn't even posted a totals number on this game. I'm going to check out the Covers sportsbook page and see what the story is there. But this is usually a situation where you can make serious money from my experience.

The opening line for the USC-AZ St. game was 105 points Total. For that to jump 8 points is simply rare. Don't know how to read it. This could be a big time sucker bet. If Bovada posts a line of 112 I will take the over. But the 113 number is a little dicey IMO. Booyahz and Plisskin this is usually your area of expertise. Any thoughts on this big of a jump?

Smooth,both teams are terrible on offense,but do play some good defense. I wasn't shocked when I saw it at 110 overnight. I think if you bet it over now you missed the boat.

Guess what the Total (Over/Under) for the NBA All Star Game is? ................................................................................................ ..... 283.5!
Last years game had 291 points (which would have even been over
this amount), 2010 had 280 (Over the 262.5 Total for that season but
Under if this years Total were used), and in 2009 the game went just
Over the 263 Total with 265 points and a dunk at the end gave over the
win. But if this years Total were used that game would be way Under.
I know there is no defense but that is a 15.5 point increase on last
years total of 268. In a season that started late (due to lockout) has
had a shortage of games in which 100+ are scored by either team in that
game (granted those aren't absolute defenseless like an All Star game)
why such a big increase? Does Vegas want Under to win because Under
hasn't won in a while (the entire time I've been on covers) or is this
years All Star game going to be the highest scoring one yet?

3-3 for today, i'll take it, after what looked to be a 2-4 day until Nevada went into triple OT! lol
trend of the day- if you bet against the top 25 today you woulda went 12-5! I was following this late afternoon after I got up and saw some of the carnage from early games.
I didn't do final W-L for top 25 ats, so it may be off by a game,but you get the drift.

13-5 W-L bet against top 25. Lines makers are on thier game, a boatload of games the lines are ubertight and right on.
college is about done, can't wait for NBA again this week!
Tourney time should be fun.
One thing I've noticed in tourney the last few years betting it, is with the neutral sites is a ton of dogs cover. If your betting the tourney this year,play lots of dogs.ruff ruff

Hey Crushalot or anybody else interested in playing Baseball with us on Yahoo. Let me know. We still have a few spots left. Vector ruined the honesty route so you will have to pay $100 in advance to the guy that organizes the league. I have been playing with these guys for 4 years so everything is legit. Booyahz plays with us and so does Edwardglenn in football. Lots of fun, trash talking is consistent. So let me know we usually have a full league for baseball.

Good call Plisskin. I had the over on my Office Pool with Fusili-Mondo-I lost big on that but I'm in 1st so it wasn't too big of a hit. I laid off with the real money and had no pick on Survivor. Tomorrow I'm going with your favorite Manhattan to take care of Loyola-Maryland by 3.5 for my W3 on Survivor.

Thanks smooth,usc finished at 108 total,from what I saw in one thread scoring came to a grinding halt with 8 minutes left and they were over 100! yikes.
I laid off manhattan last game, spread was large and they missed the cover but won. Gonna look at the game and most likely will play them. Good luck to us!!

Thanks for the well wishes, Smooth, Plisskin, and Booyahz. You guys are keeping the good times rolling with your picks. The 25 Dime Club should be lethal on SFTC in March. Bank it! Plisskin, you must be making a killing this year on College and Pro Hoops! I know you bet on what you post and your winning percentage is solid.
As much as I like Manhattan -3.5, I just couldn't pull the trigger. I pored over some of the games last night to get a SS pick, and I could not ignore the feeling that Loyola-Maryland has been the monkey on the Jaspers backs. I really hope that changes today! My gut tells me that Manhattan will show up big timefor their last home game.
What the hey do I know, though? I am on a 3 game losing streak right now after a 5 game winning streak. This contest is maddening! Anyway, I went with California -3 for today. I first saw it at -2 and almost picked it and then shortly after that Cal went upt o -2.5. I had 2.5 on my screen and did like five more minutes of research only to find that it locked me in at -3 when I hit submit. It is now 2.5 and has held steadily there for all day. It shouldn't matter, though, because I see Cal running away in this one. It makes for a good SFTC pick, too, I think.
I also like Fairfield -2.5
Good luck fellas and enjoy the NBA All-Star game if you watch it.

It kind of makes you think that the game will sail over the total, doesn't it?! Good luck on your plays, Quad. It is good to see your return on here and in the SFTC Group. Your rants are legendary.
