Saturday we on our NCAA FB play with Fla +7. I had mentioned I had bet the game earlier but the line most places was 6 and 6.5. Then about 5 min before game time the line moved to 7 at all books. A few even went to 7.5. And Florida came through with a 38-10 win as a 7 pt dog. Nice to see these setups still work despite the carnage so far in the NFL. The NCAA FB setups both lost going 0-2.
One other housekeeping item. I have not been keeping track of the MLB sides where I show some indication of value. Yesterday they went 7-2 for +700. I think it warrants a closer look at these unfortunately its a bit late in the season to give it any serious consideration. But the change I made about 3 weeks ago certainly is an improvement. During the off season I will see if I can go back and recreate the numbers and how they would of done using these new weightings. Not sure however I can do that though. But I am going to look into it.
Well I guess I had better get going to have any threat of getting int the top 50 in the hilton contest and that is an understatement at 4-11. Its only week 4 but with that record I need to turn it around fast. And fast means like today! I have been asked about changing my methods. Not a chance. So far I see nothing to indicate my methods are done. I am sticking with my methods they have served me very well in the NFL over the years.
So for today:
Hilton Top 5
Arizona
Carolina
Giants
Jacksonville
Cincinatti
I am on the other side of one of the picks and not with any of the others.
Jacksonville is a game that comes up from time to time when the line comes out after the hilton puts out the line. If I was in the lead I would be right with them at +9.5 but where I am at now not a chance.
% numbers in the NFL for today
Arizona 80
Carolina 80
Green Bay 78
phil 73
atlanta 68
oakland 67
Jets 64
Indianapolis 64
San Diego 63
Cinci 62
Denver 60
Dallas 56
Giants 55
There are a few games I am looking at for plays today. These games I am sure meet the laugh test after the first three weeks. Since I am not at the poker tables much anymore I cannot really get a feel as to the poker player play of the day. That has been about the best indicator of all time. But I can imagine there are more experts now then ever flush with money after the last week. If history is a guide that door is going to slam shut fairly soon!
I will post plays in about another hour or so.
Good Luck Today
