That’s where the wifey and I travelled recently for 10 days on vacation. My son and daughter joined us in Chicago, where we had never visited before. What a great, great city that place is.
My kind of town.
We were unfortunately only there for three days, but crammed a lot into it - the Navy Pier, Second […]

Just before Signing Day, we talked here about the Recruiting Rankings analysis that SMQ performed and he concluded how accurately Rivals was predicting winning percentages.
“Rivals was very, very good at picking the top teams – of the top 25 winningest teams of the last six years, all were either pegged in or very near their […]

Charles Barkley says no.
Four short weeks after the Wynn Casino had to sue Sir Charles for welching on $400 thousand of markers and saying on a TNT broadcast, “For right now, the next year or two, I’m not going to gamble,” Charles decided to get back on the horse. He is entered in a […]

The purpose of every college football betting season for me is to pad my bankroll. Well, duh? What I mean by that is that I’m trying to pad the bankroll specifically for the bowl season when I feel the player has the biggest advantage over the books. Well, it’s the biggest advantage […]

Rough week last week going 1-3 and now down to 38-29-3 on the year. I’m still up 10 units on the year but just short of 1 unit per week profit which is the goal. What a weird, weird season. This is the time of year when I typically kick into high […]

Another profitable week going 2-1 and hitting the double unit play for 2 units on the plus side.
My overall record is now 37-26-3 and a spectacular 9-4 in two unit plays for a 13 unit profit on the year. I really hope the crowded elevator that comprises my readership has been tailing these double […]

EyesOfTexas’s post regarding the relative lack of upsets in the Texas/Texas A&M series got me to thinking about the line, “You can throw out the records when these two teams play.” Any truth to that axiom for other in-state rivalries? Clearly, it is not true for T+1. See the comments I made […]

It was a subpar week going 2-3 but fortunately I hit my two unit play with North Texas to make things even. Nice 74 to 62 defensive struggle for the fightin’ Kathy Irelands. Geez. The only thing standing in the way of my 4th consecutive winning weekend were the Kansas Manginas. […]

It was another stellar week last week going 5-1 to make for a tidy overall record of 33-22-3. Again, we hit our two unit play to go 7-4 which pushes our high water mark to plus 11.5 units for the year. We’ll try to keep it going this week. On to the […]

Season record 28-21-3 up 9 units. 6-4 in two unit plays.
Well, went a stellar 4-1 last week and would have swept the board with an Illinois cover. Up 11 points, Illinois ran 4 plays inside of Ball State’s 12 yard line with the last play being a clock killing first down. Now […]
