Thrifty Picks

My hard disk crashed so there wont be many picks coming for a short time.
Watching the Houston - Utah game I can now say for sure Yao is the most unclutch good player in the game. From the free throw line he is alright, but in play when the game is on the line he is so soft and takes such terribles shots. Good thing for Houston Artest makes a living at the line.

Sucky sucky

Yesterday was downright terrible because of the underdogs playing out of their mind in the NBA.
I can guarantee than New Jersey will not play better than they did yesterday. They could simply not miss.
Charlotte smoking Memphis was a big surprise to me. Afterall, Memphis was back on winning tracks.
The Knicks beat themselves by shooting the three balls over and over with no success and not taking care of the ball.


So.. Pick du jour. Hoping for some betterment.

Soccer: 8W - 2L
Burton Albion Win
Hull over Win

Boxing/MMA: 2W -0L
Evans Win
Holyfields/Valuev: more than 9 rounds. Win
It is a travesty that the judges scored Valuev over Holyfield, the big statue could barely touch Holyfield the whole fight. Va luev got punched quite a lot in the face, even he doest even shiver when he is hit.

Spiritual guidance

Onto another day of action:

Soccer: 3W - 1L

Paris Saint-Germain Has to win to qualify, opponent is already qualified Win
Stuttgart Sames applies Win
Olympiakos Very good home team. Win
Tottenham One class above, and the Russian league is in the middle of its break, so Spartak might not be in the best physical condition. Loss. Spartak is really lucky to escape with the tie. They were totally manhandled by Tottenham in the second period.

Basketball: 6W - 1L
Efes Pilsen +2.5 Revenge factor, better team inside. Win
Alba under 161.5 Scrappy home team with less talent, has to defend more to have a shot. Win

Braunschweig In better form lately Loss Was not a bad pick, just one bad quarter away. They won 3 out of the 4 quarters.
Siaulai Kind of a blind pick. Siaulai is a good team, but I dont know anything about its opponent. Win

Troy-1 Florida Atlantic just plains sucks, fading them. Win
Evansville +29.5 Sure UNC will crush them, but 30 points is a lot to lay to this team. Win

San Antonio under 192.5 Great defense lately. Win

Leans:
Le Mans Maccabi is already qualified. Le Mans is looking for its first win, and has been close a few times.

Phoenix +5
Spurs +4

Northern Colorado +6.5
Lafayette-2.5

Hockey: 1W - 0L
Pittsburgh Win

Boarding school

Today there is a big board to play:
My picks:

Soccer: 7W - 2L
Ecuador PK Not a bad team at all. Some nice results I cannot see them losing. Draw or Win for me. Win

Hamburg Already qualified, same for its opponent. Give it to the home team. Win
Hereenven over: no pressure. Offensive teams. Win
Lech Poznan PK + over: Has to win amd to score to qualify, opponent does not. Win Loss
AC Milan+ over: no pressure. Lean towards the over but not sure without Kaka playing. Loss Win a really beautiful game.
Valencia PK: no pressure, but could want to attain first place Win

Porto Simply a much better team. Win

lean: ajax. Bad odds for now.

Basketball: 8W - 7L
Philly -4 better defensive team. Found and played it a -3.5 Win
Utah -3 Revenge factor. + The Nets cannot get lucky everytime. Found and played it at-2 Win
Boston -3.5 I cannot pass on that type of spread, even if Atlanta is a tough nut to crack. Loss for 0.5pts
Clippers +3.5 Good starters. PLaying better recently. Read 3 Bulls players had the flu. Worst loss of my life, even worst than the Chicago badbeat I endured yesterday. Clippers up by 4 with 20 seconds to go. Ben Gordon hits a three with the foul, et ties the game. Then Dunleavy who is probably the worst coach to draw a final play chooses to give the ball to Thornton one on one, when Randolf simply could not miss in the final minutes. A Nocioni flop later... Clips loses by 5 in overtime.
Cleveland + Illinois State + Arkansas Win

Montepaschi Siena under 153 2 good teams fighting for the top spot. Probably a slow game. Win
Joventut +2 value bet. I think it is 50% to win the game, so taking the plus side. Loss

Neptunas -9. Playing a very weak team that is getting destroyed weekly by 10+ pts. Loss
Gottingen -9 Manageable risk. Bremerhaven is really weak, but no lock by any means. Win

Illinois State -5.5 Loss
Akron + 9 Win
Jackson State +12 Loss
E. Carolina + 9.5 Loss
Siena +18 Not that bad of a team Win
Arkansas -6 Win

leans:
Ark little Rock +22
Portland State -5.5

Duquesne -4

You can see a very annoying pattern, I tend to lose game by 1, never win by 1!!!!

Hockey: 2W - 0L
JYP Home team, practically never loses. Why not? Win It wasnt easy but they eventually won

AIK Stockholm. Very good home team coming back from a rare home loss. Win

Careful picking

Handball: 0W - 1L
Redbergslid -2.5 far from a lock, but nice value. Loss I did not even know there could be ties in handball

Basketball: 3W - 1L
Denver +2 The Nuggets have showed way more than the Mavs, even if Carmelo is not 100% I like their chances better. Win

Orlando-2 A team that plays a little defense against one where defense is a naughty word. Win

lean:
Toronto -4 Big rivalry. Toronto wants to redeem itself after losing against them in O.T last week.

Syracuse -12.5 Loss They lost outright, I really did not expect that.

Pesaro Mostly a pick on Caserta not playing too well lately. Win

NBA:

Toronto -3 Win Special games for J.O. Calderon will want to prove he was the right choice. Plus, they dont want to start a crap streak with their new coach after they got destroyed by Cleveland.

First my debut picks for this month


and later I will have a little recap on how it all went in November.

Kansas -12 Win
Arkansas State+4 Win

Charlotte-3 Win

As you can see I faltered a little bit in november. The problem comes from soccer where the compiled record for november is dismal not even hitting 50%. I will try to fix that as soon as possible.
I am pretty sure I can do better in basketball if I stop having that many plays, but value is tought to resist.
Now lets have a nice streak till Christmas.
