Parley odds closed til later on Pinnacle.

Kentucky Wildcats  -pts

Maryland Terrapins  ML
3% $327.65

The spread on Kentucky sits at -18 right now.. I believe this will drop to 16.5-17 by tomorrow night so I'll wait to place this wager. Likewise, with Maryland, I will wait until later before locking this play in. These will be the 2 college plays for the night.


Cheers 

The pressure of being #1 in the nation, I guess.  I really thought this would be an easy win for Kansas.  Texas is licking its chops now, no doubt.

Update.

Nice card Kreatture

Locked in.

One of these nights, Kentucky is going to blow one of these teams out of the water.. I guess it just won't be tonight!

NBA

Miami Heat  2nd Half -2 (-110)
1.5% $163.83 to win $148.94

Crap, I guess I just got that in in time, cuz it's off the board now. Sorry for the late post, hooking up my new PS3 and wasn't really paying attention.

I want to jump on Boston In-Game ML of +127 with them own 2-1 to the Leafs right now in the 2nd.. but I said I wasn't going to bet on the Bruins until they won a game, and then jump on the following game..

I guess I'll have to resist the urge..

It really sucks when they list a game to start at 11am EST and you logon at 10 and it's all ready in the 2nd period.. 

Missed an early KHL winner.. Dynamo Moscow up 7-1 in the 3rd. There's a couple other games about to start which I like, but the odds are really terrible and I don't typically like to lay -2 goals in hockey.

Not a lot stands out on the card today.. Had an initial reaction to 5 of the NHL games but it's unlikely I'll pull the trigger on any of them by tonight.

Covers is proclaiming the Arsenal/Barcelona game to be the lock of the week with the Over.. but I don't know, I'm laying off. I think Arsenal can hang in today at home and even come away with a Draw, I could see 1-1 or 2-2.. but I'll stay away.

Enjoy your day 

I'm bored at work right now so throwing around crazy parley ideas.. wouldn't this be cool....

Orlando Magic ML, LA Lakers ML, Boston Celtics ML, Utah Jazz ML, Miami Heat -9, Chicago Blackhawks ML, LA Kings ML, NJ Devils ML, Buffalo Sabres ML

over 30-1 .. $333 to win $10,000  that would be cool!

Like I said.. I'm bored 

On a more serious note tho.. I am lining up for a huge play on 1 NBA home side tonight.. will lock it in once I'm ready.

The Utah Jazz are the big play tonight. They finally get their 1st win since Sloan stepped down and Golden State struggles playing in the thin air on the end of a back-to-back. Going for the throat tonight.

NHL

Pittsburgh Penguins  -0.5 (+150) (regulation)

Once again.. having a good run going and then BOOM - hit the brick wall. One night with the big mental lapse. I really know better than to make these kind of plays.. I said all day one of these big favs was going to lose outright and I even thought it was going to be LA this afternoon. Not sure why I picked them over Boston.

Well, son of a.. back to scratch again.. gotta stick to NHL, NBA is just a horrible sport to wager on.. 


  not really.

Did the Leafs win again?!?!  

Fun Night 

Man, you're such a good capper but you need to limit your PARLAYS (please note the spelling) and you need to limit your aggressive plays (Utah). I had a big losing night too but it didn't erase my losses.

Seriously, your picks amaze me sometimes... and then other times they astonish me (and not in a good way). Slow and steady and you'll win the race.

Yes, every time I go for a home run swing I lose. I'll be focused and steady for 2 weeks then have 1 night where I royally screw myself.

I really believed in the Utah pick.. it was a great spot for them and I don't know how they lost. I didn't watch the game. Picked a bad night to skip NCAA.. had 5 leans but was unwilling to lock any of them in, and they went 5-0. Sorry, 4-1.. Georgetown lost.

At this point I'm just trying to stay afloat til MLB Season. I'm going to try and focus on hockey mostly. For the season I'm 172-140-2 in the NHL for 55.13%.

It's a continual learning process and still the most difficult thing I've ever done. I've noticed the mental aspect is becoming better tho.. these big loss nights over the past few weeks I've been able to brush off quite easily. Altho it sucked last night, when the buzzer went in Cleveland I wasn't shocked at the result and wasn't down. It was just a bad night and I'd look forward to capping some more games later.

I'm still in a surprisingly good mood considering all this miserable winter weather. Just piles and piles of snow EVERYWHERE. I've never looked forward to Spring more than this year.. I'm moving May 1st, too, so the next 2 months can't go by quick enough.

Well, time for some breakfast and a look at today's games..

Cheers

Capped the NCAA Under for the Game, yet I played the 1st Half..

NBA would have been good with the Bulls easy winner and Mavs/Suns easy Over.. blah. Them the breaks.

I'm getting closer to having the ship righted here and can hopefully go on a run starting soon.

I'm starting something new here tomorrow night and it should add some Units over the next few weeks. I'm excited about it.

Good Night 

following you religiously as always kreatture

I've had some rough patches.. but thanks.
