Incredibly lean day in historical moments. Most days I have a tough time isolating a topic. Today I do as well but for the opposite reason. Hope something huge happens in tonights games because history is starving for it. Bear with me on this one guys. It was on this date back in 2000 that the Mets announced that Garth Brooks would train with the team beginning on Feb 20. I KNOW, warned you. Did put me to mind of an experience one of my best buddies had a couple weeks ago. Bo and I have been friends and softball teammates for years. He is actually a helluva ball player. Anyway, he just recently got back from attending the St Louis Cardinals fantasy camp in florida. I met up with him at the bar the other night and got a rundown on the trip. Amazing stuff. He showed some pic's with former players including Ozzie Smith and Willie McGee. He described the whole camp experience and told me that 80% of the attendees return again. He is twisting my arm to attend next january and I just might.
Okay, a free winner in the NBA. Tonight I am suggesting a small wager on the Rockets as they travel to Boston to meet the Celtics. Kind of a square looking play but many people tend to tie themselves into knots over that sort of thing. Looked at this hard and the bottom line is I find the number reasonable. I know some folks feel better with some trends and the fact is Houston has covered the number in 10 of the last 13 games in the Celtics house. They are also a stellar 11-1 against the number in the last dozen squaring off against a club sporting a losing record. I say Houston is worth a shot tonight.
On the business side I am always forthright. In hoops action this past week has been rough. We are well overdue to catch some breaks because the last few days we have endured some tough beats. Here are the cold, hard numbers for the season to date. In the NBA the record is 111-95, +7.2 units. In College the mark stands at 52-43, +8 units. So going into tonight we are up 15.2 units in hoops. Saturday in college has a couple of match ups I am anxiously awaiting lines on.
Now, for the Super Bowl. It happens every time this year. Every site under the sun is hammering away trying to sell the big game. They all have it figured out. Problem is most of them won't, or cannot recite anything resembling winning results in the past with their selections. I deal in facts, cold hard numbers that are documented. The FACT is I have a string going of EIGHT straight winning Super Bowl bets. The FACT is I have now cashed in on 19 of the last 21 NFL Playoff Triple Star Releases. And for those wanting something a little more long term, the FACT is I have cashed on 36 of my last 48 NFL Triples over the last two seasons combined. Now maybe there are some other sites that can best that and prove it. I don't know. Anyway, I do have another Triple Star going this sunday and I can guarantee you one thing, this is absolutely NOT a forced play. My clients know me better than that. I love the game. I currently have one prop also in the package and will possibly add more. Should that be the case I will edit and update the package and tweet it out immediately. I am looking hard at these props guys trying to be selective. These won't just be filler, they will be real wagers that have been thought out.l
Okay, much to do. Back to work. Thanks and best of luck this weekend with your action.
