College Basketball Picks for 11/15/2007

November 15, 2007 by gameface

Basketball is HERE!! My Favorite sport to Handicap! Remember I do it for fun! I don’t lay $2,000 on a game. I make straight bets of $55 per game that I like.I also make some small $20, $30, $40, and $50 2 teamer parlays.

                        

I’m off to a 6-3 start so far.

11/9  – Umass -6 vs Cal Poly (W) & New Mexico -2 vs Colorado (W)

11/10 - Kent St. -4.5 vs Detroit (L) & Fresno St -14 vs Liberty (L) Bad Day

11/11 – Gonzaga -12.5 vs Montana (W) 

11/12 - App St. +3 vs Charlotte (L) & Ark- Little Rock -1.5 vs Loyal Marymount (W)

11/14 – Rhode Island -6 vs Brown (W) & Wisc-Milk -2.5 vs Ball State (W) Lucky it weny OT!

 11/15 – Houston -1 vs VCU (L)

                Miami-FL. -7.5 vs Marist (W)

               Utah St. +3

                 App. St -8.5 (W)

My Favorite Conferences to bet on are the small school conferences such as:

               

Colonial - VCU, Hofstra, George Mason, Old Dominion, Drexel

Mtn. West- Utah, UNLV, BYU, New Mexico

Horizon – Butler, Wisc-GB, Wisc-Milk., Wright St.

Big West- UCSB, LBST, Pacific, Cal Poly

WAC – New Mexico St., Nevada, Fresno St., Utah St., Boise St.

Conf-USA – Memphis, Houston, UTEP, SMU, UAB

Don’t get me wrong the bigger conferences like the Big East, ACC, Big Ten, and Big 12  are fun to watch and most of the time are on TV, as opposed to the small schools i’m usually staring at a computer to see if my pick is winning.. The money is made on the smaller schools. If you can just study 2-3 conferences you can make some decent money.  

*Reminder I’m not a Professional Gambler i do this for fun. Don’t go bet my picks and if you lose start thrashing me! LOL!!

I usual go to www.covers.com for a lot of info and scores on games. Very nice site for the bettor!

With MMA Blowing up all over the country here are a few websites where you can get your info.

www.mmajunkie.com - breaking news, announces possible rumors and has many articles

        

www.taggradio.com - Fighter Frank Trigg, Gorgeous George, and Goze have a daily radio show. They reported about Fedor not signing with the UFC, also said David Terrell was out of UFC 78, so get some good info.

www.mmaweekly.com - Probably one of the most reliable sources for rumors on upcoming fights, also has a radio show and gets fighter interview daily, also does a play by play of most events.

           

www.Bloodyelbow.com - Luke Thomas a respected MMA guy that knows his stuff

www.mmafighting.com

www.thefightnetwork.com

www.mmanews.com

www.mrsunshinewhow.wordpress.com

On the national Level Yahoo is the leading Website for MMA with Kevin Iole doing their reporting (some say he gets exclusive info from Dana) but not far behind are MSN and CBSSportsline.

            

 Hope this helps with your MMA FIX!

PS there was another Website but I got banned from them so they don’t deserve to be on here.

UFC 78 Validation

November 15, 2007 by gameface

MAIN CARD 

Michael Bisping vs. Rashad Evans

  • Houston Alexander vs. Thiago Silva
  • Joe Doerksen vs. Ed Herman
  • Ryo Chonan vs. Karo Parisyan
  • Frankie Edgar vs. Spencer Fisher

PRELIMINARY CARD

  • Thiago Alves vs. Chris Lytle
  • Joe Lauzon vs. Jason Reinhardt
  • Marcus Aurelio vs. Luke Caudillo
  • Akihiro Gono vs. Tamdan McCrory

My Prediction for the Main event is Evans by TKO!

 But from a betting aspect of the fight I will NOT lay -280!

As an underdog bettor the only fights worthy of a bet, would be:

Ryo Chonan +250 vs Karo – Ryo is not called the Pirahana for nothing. He is on of the men to give A. Silva his last lost when they both fought in Pride. I’m not saying Karo will not win this fight but at +250 it’s worth a bet.

Frankie Edgar even vs Spencer Fisher – This fight has been looked at as expierence vs youth. Frankie Edgar reminds me a lot of Fisher but with better wrestling. One problem Fisher had was with Grapplers, when he fought Hermes Franca he was put on his back a lot. than he fought Sam stout a stiker he had the advantage. If Edgar takes him down I see him submitting Fisher, if this fight goes to the ground I see Fisher by TKO. This is why the odds are so close. 

Maybe a small parlay on these underdogs.

Tamdan McCrory +215 vs Akihiro Gono

Chris Lytle +150 vs Thiago Alves

Joe Doerkson +120 vs Ed Herman

*I’m not a professional gambler this is just an opinion.
