Miami has defeated the Bucks twice already this season in physical lower scoring altercations, and Im betting nothing changes today. Miami won 108-102 and 111- 95 and a rinse and repeat type of score is being projected by me for this spot play. MILWAUKEE is 13-3 UNDER when playing with double revenge - 2 straight losses vs. opponent over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 221.4 ppg scored.MILWAUKEE is 8-1 UNDER after 4 or more consecutive wins this season with a combined average of 215.1 ppg scored.

MIAMI is 9-1 UNDER after playing 3 consecutive road games this season with a combined average of 209.4 ppg scored.

Dallas behind the 29th ranked pace in the league and 7th best ppg D, will be primed to slow down the run and gun Golden State Warriors tonight as road underdogs. This results in a lower scoring game than many of the pundits might expect. On the flipside the Warriors viable 3 point D, will also highlight this lower than expected combined score. GOLDEN STATE is 17-3 UNDER in home games versus good 3 point shooting teams - making 36% or better of their attempts over the last 2 seasons. NBA Home teams where the total is greater than or equal to 220 (GOLDEN STATE) - good 3PT shooting team (36.5% or better ) against an average 3PT defense (33-36.5%) after 42+ games, after a game making 19 or more 3 point shots are 32-8 UNDER L/27 seasons for a 80% conversion rate for bettors.

My College basketball sides/Totals projections are based on a system I have used for more than 25 years. The system is has been honed and tweaked multiple times during this period, and is now a viable long term profit based way to calculate value based Totals /Sides offerings from the sports books. ( Coaching systems, pace, officials ,injuries, road.away dichotomies, revenge scenarios and play off seeding desperation are all taken into consideration as is current form and league wide stats/trends dating backs 37 seasons) In other words no stone is left unturned. Hofstra is lazy around the rim and are often outworked which is not a good omen against a side like Stoney Brook who are exact opposite around the basket with the height to get the job done. Im betting on the visitors to smash and grab their way to a cover on a bloated line. Play on Stoney Brook to cover |

This may not be one of Gonzaga's best teams, but they are still explosive offensively eclipsing the 100 point plateau 6 times this season behind one of College Hoops top players, Drew Timme. They must not be underestimated, vs a strong Saint Marys side, that is coming off a grueling game against USF last time out that seen them win late with a hard to believe shot. This is a huge letdown situation for the Gaels at an inopportune time. Few is 51-37 ATS as an underdog as the coach of GONZAGA with the average ppg diff clicking in at -2.9. Advantage Gonzaga . ST MARYS-CA is 17-35 ATS L/52 when playing against a top-level team (Win Pct. 80% or better ) after 15 or more games. Play on Gonzaga to cover |

Kansas barley got by Iowa State at home in their first meeting this season 62-60 , but will now be hard pressed to get a cover here on the road vs a Iowa State program that is 5-0 ATS L/5 opportunities with same season revenge from a loss of 20 points or less. Also Kansas has played a tiring schedule of late against top tier opposition and now could easily find the grind very rough vs a tenaciously physical Iowa State side that has won the rebound battle in 8 straight tilts. Iowa State is a perfect 12-0 this season at the Hilton Coliseum and Im betting will hit lucky 13 here today vs the visiting Jayahwks. IOWA ST is 13-5 ATS when playing against a top-level team (Win Pct. 80% or better) over the last 2 seasons with the average ppg diff clicking in at +2.3 . Play on Iowa State to cover |

Experience & Awards I have been wagering professionally on sports and horse racing for 30 years. My picks have been documented for 22 years. I was the 2009 NFL Handicapper of the Year in 2009 in a prestigious event. I won the Ultimate Football NFL Championship in 2006. I have been an NBA World Champion with 9 winning seasons the last 11 years. I also continue to beat the College Hoops book makers with a high volume attack on a yearly basis. Handicapping Approach I have a firm belief in my systems. There is not a sport I feel I can not beat. My handicapping can be best referred to as the 'The Smart Money Approach". I leave no stone unturned. I have a large database of information and statistics. I also take into consideration injuries, current and historical trends, and form. I also factor in the weather, surface conditions, and line movement. Sports Betting Is An Investment Many gamblers offer causal explanations for long runs of good and bad performance. The same is true of financial analysts. The records of bettors and investors show the same variable successes and failures. Both investment opportunities show significant variables and both can give the investor an advantage. You need to do the proper research to consider all the facts. If you do so a long term profit is more than attainable. I think sports betting is even better than the stock market. The investor/bettor has much more control over his funds. You can take a short break, and almost always know your bankroll has not been untouched. In the markets you are leaving your 401K and other mutual investments in the hands of a volatile marketplace. Plus, you are being torched for huge handling fees by brokers on individual investments. These fees would make sports book managers drool. I am not saying it is easy making a living from sports betting. But, the small percent who do consistently beat the books have a much better rate of return than that of any market investor! This is the outlook I have on every wager I place in the sports wagering markets. I take my portfolio very seriously! Money Management To be a successful and profitable sports bettor you must always have a long term goal. Set that standard before you begin. You need to set aside a fairly substantial bankroll. If you want to be conservative you would wager no more than 1-2% of your bankroll per game. No more than 3% on the best bets. This might seem a little on the low side. But, this is a long and turbulent battle with the books. You will be happy that you practiced good money management and frugality. Here are some additional guidelines I recommend. 1. Shop for your best possible lines (rogue lines) from the most reputable sources. 2. Stay disciplined and do not stray from recommended bankroll allocation on individual wagers. Chasing your wagers never a good idea. 3. Always keep in mind that your bankroll is your life line. It must be treated the same way you would treat finances allocated for any business venture. 4. Buy off the hook on key numbers. 5. Understanding the importance and the art of middling. 6. Keep a record of all your wagers and results and use them as part of over all statistical data base. These are some important factors that will help you in your quest for long term profits. I leave you with a thought from the late great Jimmy the Greek. The house does not beat the player, it just gives him the opportunity to beat himself. *All selections have the same allocated bankroll %(which equals 1 betting unit). |
