What's up guys? Hope everyone had a great weekend. A different type of day today, and i'll quickly mention what the deal for today is.
1. I'm NOT selling a PAID PLAY today. Any NBA action i have for today will be posted right here. I'll give my leans and any premium plays here in the thread.
2. Every minute of time i have will be getting ready for Round 1 of the NCAA Tournament. Of course i'm excited for it, but i'm not doing anything differently for this tournament as i have for any other tournament. I love that everyone is so excited for this time of the year, and i also greatly respect all the "tourney breakdowns." I do have to admit though, i've done this all season long for ALL 347 Divison 1 teams. I feel like i'm ready for this tournament, and that i don't need to flip any switch to get going.
3. Thanks to everyone as always who follows my work. I greatly appreciate it from every single one of you. I haven't been able to properly thank you over the past few days, so here it is again. THANK YOU! Let's continue to find VALUE and fire WINNERS!
I am my own source. It's not a run when you do it over and over again with consistency and a mentality that you've done it before.
Great job on the Buckeyes yesterday, Mike! Gonna be a BUSY 3 days getting ready for Thursday!
I mean, what's not to love? Especially when you see how I party man, it's epic. The run I was on made Sinatra, Flynn, Jagger, Richards, all of them, just look like droopy-eyed, armless children.
I'm tired of pretending I'm not a total bitchin' rock star from Mars.
I am on a drug – it’s called Charlie Sheen. It’s not available because if you try it, you will die. Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body.
I’m not bi-polar, I’m bi-winning. I win here and I win there.
I probably took more than anybody could survive. I was banging seven-gram rocks. Because that’s how I roll. I have one speed. I have one gear: Go.
The only thing I’m addicted to right now is winning.
NBA LEANS:
ROCKETS +2.5 Nuggets
WARRIORS +8 Lakers
I think both leaders out West are in for some very tough games tonight. I would also say to be wary of UTAH, as they are in an awful situational spot.
More thoughts to come, but wanted to get those leans up.
What's up Mike. Damn shame Duke had to let off the gas with a 10 pt lead to win by 4. Of course that teaser I had was Duke down to 4.5. No worries though as I got it back on Ohio St. Went against proper money mgt and played it for an additional unit after Duke lost in the teaser. I wouldn't have normally done that but I had supreme confidence in the play thanks to you. I feel the ultimate compliment one can pay a capper is show full confidence. And I have that. Know that you EARNED it. Since you don't hype yourself, here it is from a forum member.
A couple of questions:
1. How will plays be released on thurs and fri? All at once, as the day goes on, what time etc? Just want to make sure I don't miss anything while at work
2. I know you're getting ready for NCAA but do you plan on working on NIT, CBI and CIT as well?
So while you took the time to thank everybody else, let me thank you!
I LOVE this time of year
Mr. D,
Thanks buddy for the words. The fact you are one of my long term clients and giving me those words mean a great deal to me. The fact we are now friends means much more to me. So thanks again.
For the 1st round games, i'll have plays out the night before. Thursdays action will be out by 9 PM EASTERN on Wednesday. Fridays action will be out by 9 PM EASTERN on Thursday.
I feel pretty confident in the "1st Round" that we will know the majority of the line action. So putting out plays the night before is simply the way to go, as i know most will be at work.
I will ABSOLUTELY be working on the "other" tournaments as well. To be perfectly "real", those tournament games often have MORE value than the Big Boy.
As always, let me know if you need anything else!
Mike, your're welcome. Those words are well deserved. Thanks for the reply. I like that the plays will be out the night before.
I think Michigan St is overrated and New Mexico St can pull off the upset. But I can't convince anyone else. What do you think?
Of course you never know what might happen in this tounament, but assuming the two teams play well I think your Aztecs and the Vols could play an instant classic
Great season Mike. Thank you for all your hard work and time you put into the forum. Now let's all have a great tournament to end the ncaa basketball season.

Mike - I will be signing up for Flex-Action with you on Wednesday, then going with Dan (NBA) after April 5
I have been reading your blogs, twitters, forums, leans, and free plays enough to know you are the real deal and can help me with CBB handicapping, which I don't profess to do on my own
My passion is NBA handicapping, especially as it relates to "Schedule Plays", which I have been studying since the late '70's, with a data base covering thousand of games - I quit from the early '80's until 4.5 years ago, but my analysis (data base) covers all games from 2000 on
I have been commenting on NBA schedule plays and the Pace-Wipes for about one month on Dan's "daily blog site" - I would encourage you to ask Dan about my content
Regards - Looking forward to a successful relationship - Jeff from Indy
Mr. DOf course you never know what might happen in this tounament, but assuming the two teams play well I think your Aztecs and the Vols could play an instant classic
i agree completely. SDSU is very athletic, and they matchup well with Tennessee. As long as they can handle the travel, they will be ready to go. Great game for sure.
