SUPER BOWL XLII REMATCH
The Conference Finals turned a very small profit on my bets.

Spread Picks
Baltimore Ravens +7.5 (1.87)
Total Picks
New York Giants/ San Francisco 49ers Over 42.5 (2.02)
Baltimore Ravens/ New England Patriots Over 50.5 (2.02)
I went over in each of the games. I liked the Giants offence to throw on the 49ers defence often, [...]
NBA PICKS JAN 19
Rough night last night with only one winner out of four picks. Minnesota was looking good to cover up eight points with four seconds left and at the line to shoot two. Of course both free throws were missed.
Tonight I have one pick.
Utah Jazz 1.73
Since starting to put my picks on here I am 2-for-6 [...]

Just when you thought he was done Tebow Time has been resurrected. Tebow performed another minor miracle in overtime on the first play, throwing an 80-yard touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas. Pittsburgh brought their safeties in to stop what they thought would be a first down run play. Thomas ran a post which works out [...]
WELCOME BACK NBA
I went 0-for-1 on my bets last night in the NBA, but trading the Thunder/ Timberwolves game made up for that loss. My punt was an under in the Toronto/ Cleveland game with the total set at 195.5. The Raptors won the game 104-96, which was quite surprising to me. Toronto doesn’t have much scoring, or talent [...]
TIME TO BELIEVE IN TEBOW?
I haven’t really posted much on here in the past while but I’m going to make an attempt to get back to it. This time I think I will post once per week, on Tuesdays until the end of the NFL regular season. After that I may try something different. Posts will recap what I did [...]
BACK IN PLAY
After an excruciating 149-day lockout the NBA players and owners have reached a tentative deal that will enable the start of the 2011-12 NBA season. It’s hard to understand why Billionaires and Millionaires could have such a hard time dividing up millions of dollars but it happens. A cancellation of the whole season would have [...]
LONDON CALLING
Not my best trading effort this afternoon. Tomorrow is a new day, with the same two teams playing.
WHAT CAN WE TAKE FROM THE FIRST HALF?
Before my Betfair days I spent my time trying to get an advantage over Sportsbooks. At that time sports betting was a hobby, rather than a profession. I would develop systems to try to get value bets in baseball, hockey and basketball. The hours that I spent going through lines and odds has without a doubt [...]
