Oldman's Picks For Thursday 1/22/09

[oldmanTED]

Been a very difficult and embarassing college hoops season so far for me so I stayed in the Tracker Forum and hope that no one got seriously hurt by my poor performance so far. With that being said, normally I start to come around during conference play followed by the conference tournaments and the Big Dance. Following a disastrous 2-12-1 results last Saturday, I'm coming off a 3-1 day yesterday and hope that is a sign of better things to come. As most of you know, gambling runs in streaks. Thought I might begin to post in the College Hoops Forum like the old days and perhaps it will motivate me to provide more positive results. Either way, as usual follow, fade or just take a look. It's all good. Feel free to ask any questions. Hence,

3* Georgetown -5 (-110) 5Dimes
3* Minnesota +1 (-110) 5Dimes
3* Washington State +5 (-110) 5Dimes

Year To Date Record: 40-50-2 (-49.25)

5* (1-3)(-11.50)
4* (2-4)(-9.60)
3* (37-43-2)(-28.15)

Good Luck Everyone!

Brotherwo:

Thanks for the encouragement. As in a game, I'm approaching it as I can't change the past performance, but there will be plenty of plays ahead and hopefully I can provide a profit for the balance of the season to our membership.

Tough year in cbb for many Ted, as you very well know this game is a marathon & not a sprint! Stay the course, you will be just fine. GL on your action

Ted

Having an awful year also, so I can share your pain. Hang in there though, things will turn. You're to good at this for it not to happen. GL

Nah! I've been in this business for 38 years and know how to manage my money. If you haven't seen my football threads you would have noticed the following:

NCAAF

Final Year To Date Record: 45-31-2 (+43.21)

5* (4-2)(+9.00)
4* (12-6-2)(+22.12)
3* (29-21)(+12.09)

NFL

Year To Date Record: 50-40 (+31.55)

5* (5-1)(+19.00)
4* (13-10)(+11.12)
3* (26-25)(-1.44)
2* (2-1)(+1.90)
1* (4-3)(+0.97)

Selection For The Superbowl

5* Pittsburgh -6.5 (-110) Bookmaker

<!-- / message -->
Second Half Football Plays

20-12 (Including Two 5* Wins)

Also, there is a major misconception and presumption on these forums that 1 unit equals 1% of the bankroll. For some that might be the case but not for all handicappers.

You are relatively new to this forum. Guys that have been around the RX for awhile are familiar with my style. Best of luck to you.

Thanks Cash. You know me well. I'll continue to grind. As I said, can't change the results so far but what's ahead is what matters.

I have noticed Dan and also know your alot better then your current record. Glad you have been doing well in the NBA. Can't quite put my finger on the reason except perhaps the parity of talent making some of these conferences so deep and talented that they can win anywhere at anytime aqainst anyone. Going to work as hard as I did at football to provide winners for our membership. I feel that's my responsibility here.

Thanks quinn. Going to put my nose to the grindstone and see if I can turn this around. Best of luck.

Of all the sports to be ahead nicely in, who would have thought the NBA. Have come across something and an sticking with it with good results so far. College has me baffled, and without complaining to the "Gambling Gods", haven't gotten very lucky either. Good to hear from you and hope your feeling great.

Have to agree with you there Dan. The NBA is the toughest sport for me to be successful until the playoffs. Currently sitting at 2-8 for the few plays I've made. Looking to April to get serious. I wish I could blame my current record in College Hoops on the "Gambling Gods" but it simply isn't the case. Just flat out been off. But the future is in front of us. We grind away as usual.
