Thurs
We lost our lean on U Mass Wedn in ncaa baskets. Today nothing in the nba and nothing in the nhl.
There are some possiblities in ncaa baskets and 1 is in a few hours so I will update if it becomes clear.
Miami is at Carolina tonight. The public is heavy on Carolina 69% and the line now stands at -3-120 in most spots. In addition the line opened at -3.5 -104 On Pinnicle and moved opposite the public betting to -3. Thats a plus for Miami.
The public betting is not quite heavy enough for me to put Miami out as a lean or a play and I dont anticipate it getting there. But I did use Miami +3 in my hilton and Stations nfl contests for this week.

Wedn
We split our ncaa bb picks on Tues losing our play on Pepperdine but winning our lean on Tenn Martin.
Tonight in the ncaa fb games the public is all over the road favorites. With both right now at 79%.
I really dont see any value in the home dogs tonight so I am passing on both games.
Saying that Ball st opened at +11.5 and is now +15.5 in some spots. If it keeps moving I might put the game out as a lean. I will post this game if it becomes clear.
Nothing in the nhl...but there are possiblities in both ncaa baskets and the nba tonight.

Monday
Sunday was a good day overall for me. I went 3-2 in the nfl contests bringing my record to 54% in the Hilton contest and 58% in Stations.
If I can get a nice streak similar to the end of the last nfl season I will have a chance to cash in the Hilton and who knows in Stations:)
Also we won our nba play with Toronto +8. They covered easily losing in a close game by 1.
I Received a few emails this morning saying they had missed the toronto play. I put it out 15 min before game time which is what I will be doing on baskets for the rest of the season. Also the nhl will more then likely go the same way.
The betting volume is so light in baskets and the nhl that it is impossible for me to put out a pick until 15 to 30 min before game time since the line is just one variable I use.
The best way to make sure you dont miss picks is with twitter. Twitter allows you all sorts of options to receive tweets. The best one I have found is using the forwarding of tweets to your cell phone via text messaging. My twitter name is rickjsportplays
In the nfl game tonight the public is all over the favorite Baltimore. Things were very easy for the public until the last few weeks when reality has set in. The public got a reprieve last night with New England But still its nice to see things get back to normal in the nfl.
Saying that I still dont think there is much value in Cleveland and am passing on the game. It was never a consideration for me in my contest picks.

Sunday
We lost our ncaa fb lean but went 2-1 on our ncaa basket leans.
So a 2-2 day.
Today there really isnt anything in the nfl that I would consider for a lean or a play. The closest is Green bay +3 but really misses more then 1 of my variables. So I will be passing today except for my contest picks.
I still have been getting a lot of email regarding ncaa basketball totals. If the totals came out the night before and my last variable was posted early the next day I would probably work up the totals. But ncaa basketball totals early in the season are the last odds to be put out. And the final thing I look at sometimes isnt put out until game time. Its hit or miss. So....I wont be doing ncaa bb totals this season.
Also I have received some email that its a lot of work to review this site multiple times a day for updates on baskets. I agree that would be time consuming but now since I post everything on twitter you can get the updates sent automatically to your email or text messaged to you phone.
My twitter name is rickjsportplays
I post all my leans and plays on twitter now to accommodate followers of this blog.
As yesterday any basketball plays or nhl will be sent out about a half hour before game times.
Good Luck today

nfl contest picks
We won our lean on Colorado st +1.5 in ncaa baskets Friday with Colorado St winning the game easily.
Today in ncaa fb there really is nothing I can see that qualifies as a lean or a play for me. There is one that is close and I will put it out on the blog if anything develops.
Also will post ncaa baskets , nhl and nba if anything becomes clear. Since the volume of betting is so light its very difficult to put anything out on these early. Usually about an hour before game time.
In the nfl this weekend I am coming off a 4-1 week last week putting me at 57.7 % in the Stations contest and 53.3% in the Hilton contest.
My contest picks this week are in the order I liked them at the time:
Buffalo +6.5
Phil +2.5
Green Bay +3
Kansas City +2
Jacksonville +6.5
In the Stations contest I am getting +7 with Jacksonville and +1.5 with KC.
