2015 Final Four Predictions: Duke over MSU, Kentucky over Wisconsin

NBA Final Four Picks: Duke and Kentucky to NCAA Championship

We had chalk in our original bracket for the final. I’ve wanted to see this Duke vs Kentucky matchup for a long time and we’re just one more win by both teams from seeing that. Why change our predictions now? I’ve got a money line parlay, laying this week’s hockey profits on these games.

First, I like the Duke money line. As you can see from the attached image, the computer algorithm gets a little screwy at this point because everyone has reached “burning hot status” by the end of ...

2015 MLB Predictions – American League: Will New York Yankees Compete?

2015 American League MLB Preview: Are New York Yankees Relevant?

I’m excited about baseball season being so close, but I cannot hide what this year’s 2015 American League MLB Preview is going to say. For the first time, I won’t be picking my New York Yankees to win the AL East. It hurts, but this is just not an elite baseball franchise anymore.

In recent years, my New York Yankees have tested my faith in baseball. I’ve played ball since I was three, I’ve watched for probably just as long, and in recent years everything that was good in baseball has gone away. I watched the chemistry and “team baseball” of the 90s dynasty be replaced by a festival of large contracts that rarely panned out, all to buy one more World Series. Derek Jeter has retired, but a 39-year-old Alex Rodriguez is still clinging to a spot on the Yankees roster? Is there no justice in the baseball world? ...

CASH CHAMPIONSHIP – NBA & NHL KING 2015 – ROUND 11 RECAP

Anssi(anssi.t.toivonen), Jiong(snowman1818) and Bails(bilreg2828) nailed it in the round 11! They just swept Billyboy(billy.willis1) and Nelzon Munts(nflranders) from the top of the rank, but all five of them still have chance for final victory! Many more players still have chance for prize! We couldn’t imagine more exciting situation before final round! It will be extremely fascinating finish, a lot of waiting and advanced tactical moves are expected!

We already have two super heroes in the contest… Still unbeaten are Gergely(geri.rulett)! and Jiong(snowman1818). Both of them extended streaks to 11 and 10 wins in ...

NHL Picks: New York Rangers at Winnipeg Jets

The New York Rangers have been a little sloppy lately, but they’re still one of the best teams in hockey. Anchored in goaltending and defense, I think we can trust them here against a Winnipeg Jets team with a volatile offense and a bit of a losing skid.

The Jets are always tough to play at home. I think that this game being in Winnipeg is a little bit difficult for us here, but the value in the line is too much to pass on. I’m on it, and so is the computer.

NHL Picks Contest ($100 Prize): Buffalo Sabres at Arizona Coyotes

As I mentioned in the original post, we don’t bet games like this. When two teams are this terrible, there’s an element of volatility that I don’t like to mess with in a long-term investment approach. I’ve written this game off for a week now – especially after the Buffalo Sabres were cheering for the Arizona Coyotes in Buffalo.

As always, simply comment on the post pinned to the top of our Facebook page to compete in our free NHL Picks Contest with a $100 prize to the winner.

NCAA March Madness Picks: Gonzaga vs Duke

NCAA March Madness Picks: Gonzaga Duke

I loved this region, and I loved Duke to win it. I think theyre the better team and we’ve been on them from the start to give Kentucky a run. I think this will be an interesting test for them.

Gonzaga has been on a nice run. They’re a solid team and they can fly under the Vegas radar a bit because the public doesn’t tend to think of them as a powerhouse. They’ve been strong all tournament and Duke has a history of underperforming in games they look like they should win.

This is ...

NCAA March Madness Picks: WVU vs Kentucky

NCAA March Madness Picks: West Virginia vs Kentucky

I still think Kentucky is the best team in basketball and I was unimpressed by the way West Virginia finished their win last week. Pressing the court the entire game, even after a miss, is not going to confuse the talented Kentucky Wildcats. All that is going to happen in this game is that Kentucky is going to get a lot of open looks and use their size and talent to dominate this game.

I can’t see West Virginia keeping it close or causing any problems for UK. I think Kentucky runs away ...

NHL Picks Contest ($100 Prize): Sabres Coyotes

NHL Picks Contest ($100): Buffalo Sabres at Arizona Coyotes

Monday, March 30th

Normally I just write games like this off completely as “two bad teams, no bet.” We even have it programmed into the Z-Code VIP Club that when I type TBTNB that saying pops up automatically. I think these teams are the epitome of that betting style… when teams are this bad it lends an element of volatility that makes it best to just stay away. That’s why it’s the perfect contest pick – who ya got to win this one?

Here are our standings… Again, your continued participation and attention to our posts is what keeps these going. Looks like there’s all the usual suspects at the top, and it’s still anyone’s competition. Good luck!

Seven wins
