The first piece of advice I'll give you is that just because you might be good a picking winners, that doesn't mean you'll have the same success betting. It's a completely different mindset. 

I've told a friend over and over who claimed to be a great "picker of games" that betting is not the same beast. He hasn't a clue how to use the lines and has lost 90% because he can't get away from the who is gonna win mindset.

Okay... I'm starting to think Keith Jardine's unorthodox style has been figured out... down 1U.

 

[whutizit]

need my dude Silva to come through to save this otherwise terrible day

 

[halfwaycrook]

My late college basketball was

Missouri -5.5

Kentucky -1

Carolina lost me my other 3 team parlay

And I'm awful at NBA.

 

[doyung9]

Come on Velasquez.... make up my losing day.

 

[wearinthefourfive]

I did horrible today. Every parlay loses by 1. Come on baseballlll.

 

[venom lyrix]

ok so

Kentucky and K State won me money

Silva and Cain won me money

made up for yesterdays bad day

 

[doyung9]

THANK YOU CAIN!

 

[venom lyrix]

I have a little bet on Wichita St +8

 

[Los Angeles]

won my 3 team parlay and hou vs pacers 1st time line.

thank goodnesssss

 

[cool hand Luka]

out of 15 games i looked at that had 90% money on one side of the spread, the underdog won today
in college basketball... hmm vegas is good

 

[Los Angeles]

What you guys playing tomorrow?

 

[black jesus]

Idk.....its still early.....sorta like the blazers and duke.....gotta see how %!$% is later though....

 

[doyung9]

Gotta be honest... I'd be INCREDIBLY blown away if Cleveland dropped 3 in a row.

thinking of laying a few $$ on them.

 

[jus3]

I kinda like Ohio St. tomorrow..

i'd argue that

everybody's a good "capper" when they're not posting picks....

......then when they post picks they're all of a sudden on a "cold streak"......you sound like one of those dudes off the covers forum

 

[651akathepaul]

6-3 so far. Not bad. Basketball is tough. Here's my picks for today:

Northwestern +12
Atlanta -5.5
Cleveland +2
Boston +4
Ohio St. +4

Pitt +2.5

We'll see.
