Fade that list, they all have one thing in common, they are all road teams!I like Villanova -6, Marquette -6. UNC +10, Pistons -1.5, Magic -1, Hornets -2, Mavs -5, Getting a losing pick in this mix is unacceptable!

Actually I like Orlando. I lost big on two big home favorites in the NHL tonight. Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay. But lets go with Orlando over Philadelphia.

I'm not a gambling guru by any means, I mostly just play free streak games online for fun and a chance to maybe win some $. With that said, I can tell you some of my insights. No matter how good you are though, luck will always play it's part. First I think you need to determine which prize you're after...going for a long streak takes a different strategy then going for the monthly prize. I love trying to make picks every day, so for someone like me it's hard to back off and pick spots. I have a W5 right now so even though the month is young, I'm probably out of contention for the monthly. So, I'll probably switch up and devote a little more time to selection. I think that's what most people do: pick anything every day till you get a few wins in a row, then either decide to go for the monthly or switch gears and protect your streak.
I usually like to try for the monthly because A) I like picking every day and B) the thought of losing a W15 or W16 and having to start over just sucks.
I try to stick with NBA and NCAAB, which I think are more predictable. I like taking the over in most cases, especially when it's projected low (like Evansville last night). I'll scan the NCAAB games for totals in the low 120s and then take a closer look. For the NBA, if I see a total in the 180s then I'm gonna look at that. Just my two cents but I think with the chance to push the bet and the overtime factor, low totals are worth serious consideration.
Anyway, sorry for the long post. GL everyone.

I'm going Wright St +9.5. Butler hasn't been really scaring any teams in the Horizon this year, they're 6-4 over their past 10 games, and Wright St beat them at home earlier in the year.
Good luck with UConn. St. John's scares me. They've won 4 of their last 6 at home, including a 15 pt win over Duke, an 18 pt win over ND, and a win over GT. Plus, if Kemba keeps slumping like he has been, they'll have a really tough time beating the Red Storm. I hope they do win for you, though.
Maybe I'm still bitter that they didn't cover against the 'Cuse last week. Gotta keep this W5 going...
