Wow, has it ever been an awful week for bettors who backed Top Ten teams in college football action! From the top:
1. USC - Failed to cover against Washington
2. LSU - Beat Tulane but did not cover
3. Oklahoma - Lost outright to Colorado
4. Florida - Lost to Auburn
5. West Virginia - Lost to South Florida
6. […]
The NHL season got off to a premature and slightly ridiculous start in London, England when the Los Angeles Kings beat the defending Stanley Cup Champion Anaheim Mighty Ducks 4-1. Before you file this under ‘Who really cares?’, you might as well pay a bit of attention because hockey can present a large number of […]
We always see a lot of change at the quarterback position, but we rarely see as much as we are this week. Chicago, Buffalo, and Oakland are using new starters this week, Carolina might, and Baltimore and Arizona (and others) have their starters on very short leashes. Here’s a look at the betting impact of […]
I love Washington. They may be one of my favorite teams. Sure, I don’t know all of their players (parts of their lineup are so obscure that I doubt the coaching staff know them, either), I almost never watch them play, and as a Canadian I am a little bitter that they aren’t still in […]
I think he’s somewhat kidding, but Jay Cronley wrote an interesting article on ESPN.com about how to hit 50/1 winners at the racetrack. His theory is that you only have to hit a $100 winner one time in 50 to break even. The math is obviously true, but I doubt that a lot of bettors have […]
There’s a very interesting post about the Kentucky Derby champion over at Handride. Basically, Patrick is not a believer. His argument is sound - Grasshopper almost beat Street Sense in the Travers, and then he was completely exposed in (not-so) Super Derby last weekend. Any Given Saturday also ran close to the Derby champ in […]
There were nine games in the early part of the college football schedule on Saturday (kickoffs before 1:00 p.m. EST) that had teams favored by more than 15 points. Only three of those heavy favorites managed to cover the spread. That’s just another reminder that the public loves a favorite, and especially loves them if […]
Despite the bizarre happenings that have been commonplace in the first few weeks of the season, there has been enough low hanging fruit to pick that it’s been a profitable start to the season. Here’s the games I will be looking at to try to keep the winning going:
Green Bay (-1) at Minnesota - […]
I think the Brewers (+138) are a sound bet to bet the San Diego Padres on Saturday. My opinion by itself is virtually meaningless, but the thought process might be interesting. The Brewers are already eliminated from playoff contention after a long fight with the Cubs. San Diego can clinch their playoff spot with a […]
Every week has it’s shares of thrills and intrigue. Heading into this weekend there are seven games that I like, and a couple more that are intriguing but which I am too chicken to pull the trigger on.
The ones that I think will cover, but am not certain enough to put my money on:
Colorado (+24) […]
