Thanks Dante....

Every now and then a change is good...

Plus, don't tell anyone but I adore animals...

I currently have 2 beautiful Maltese puppies (named Precious and Sugar Pie) since all 3 of my Lhasa Apsos passed away recently...

I follow a guy who makes this bracket stuff his lifetime passion. Personally I just bet, scalp and middle.

Day1 UAB W/Upset
UW-Milw W/Upset
UOP W/Upset
UNR W/Upset
BC W Only fave so far, Ivy now 0-8 ATS L8

Day2 Char L
Bucknell W/Upset
Old Dom W
Vermont W
Cent FLA W
Del St W MEAC now 8-1 ATS L9

Day3 UOP L
UAB L
Utah W/Upset

Day4 NC St. W/Upset
Bucknell W

13-3. 7 upsets. Good news.
Hit only 1 middle, missed 3 biggies. Bad news.

Very light in middling, lot of fishing trips. Still, off to a consistently profitable start. Also, more than any other time, I know there are cappers out there much sharper than I for the tourney. I swallow my false pride and follow their advice. One tourney capper gave me 5 upsets, out of 6!

Best Wishes...OF:howdy:

OF,

I believe you are one of the sharpest handicappers that I have seen around on this forum and that says a lot...

I'll NEVER forget the embarrassment I felt going with those overrated Lakers a year ago when you were all over the Pistons...

Nicely done and best of Luck to you....

P.S.

Don't we all personally bet, scalp and middle to some degree? :smoker2:

Would be up 20x more if SKYBOOK would raise my limits on the free half point. :hump:

Thanks The SHRINK. Appreciate the props. Hey Motown was my time in the limelight. Just happen to fall in my best NBA playoffs ever. But to bask in former glory in this business is ruinous. I leave that for the touts. People ask me, "What you got today Froggy?" Better have a successful day because memories do not pay.

When you have a national pasttime like the NCAA tourney, there are people who live for it. They are dedicated. The one guy I follow has 15 years of dedication. Never bet in his life. Does not know the point spreads. But he has to profile upsets. Or bracket busters. I just follow his upset guidelines. Pretty simple, but very effective. My top two trends, fade Ivy, bet MEAC both kept going. I prefer the NBA.

As far as middling, scalping and having more than 5 outs, there are a few of us, but by far not everyone. Just like any other business, there are different levels of sophistication and developement. I started out betting 3 teamers. Used to cap in High School Civics class. Teacher gave me an F. Ironically he also bet and asked my opinions on the games. Guess he wanted me back for one more semester. Some people just stick at that level. One of my lifelong goals is self improvement. The second is to remain consistently profitable. I do believe in order to achieve those goals you need as many outs as you can manage, and to find ways to earn in the non traditional, which side do you have world. What do I like about this business, no BS, no politics, no excuses. It is a bottom line cash and carry business. I cannot think of a better pond for me.

Best Wishes...OF:howdy:

Bump and update.

Day #5 UW/Milw L
Zona/W Upset
W.Vir/W Upset

15-4 9 upsets

Still only played one favorite. Lucky to have NCAA as an outlet since NBA has been more chalky than a swig of milk of magnesia.

Opportunities for decent dogs is just about done. In fact, Zona opened as chalk and W. Vir pk. Wrong way movement just provided better opportunity vs. my numbers. Had they not moved, I would not have played either one. Luckily I passed on Wash as Louisville is getting all of the calls, making all of the shots. Scary team.

Best Wishes...OF:howdy:


P.S. I think I have bet every one of these at Skybook. The value of a side, getting that free half is so strong. Like Fish says, raise the limits, I raise my profits.
