Ted good luck with this play. I had so much trouble capping this one out. I think I just couldnt find anything to make me confident on either of them. Still, I would have taken Clemson if I had to , as they are at home. But that was really all I could find to back them and that wasnt good enough for me. I know you found some good angles to back them, so I know it is the right side. Good Luck with it today . Aloha CC.

Captain:

Thanks you. Congratulations, as you continue to tear it up here going 8-2. Just keep on doing what you are doing as that train just keeps rolling along. As for tonight's game, I feel that Clemson has shown itself to play decently at home by beating North Carolina a team that plays at a similar pace to the Deacons, plus they did not embarass themselves on the road in their loss to Duke particularly with their first half play. Wake Forest has continued to play disappointing ball and I was unimpressed by their recent efforts. Laying 7 against the Tigers on the road and not particularly playing well has me taking tonight. Continued good luck tonight.

I read the your money management article last night and it answered a couple of questions I had.I appreciate your time and expertise.

Bad beat on Wisconsin,but good luck tonight.

 

[Kojak]

We differ on this game as I like Wake but I will take a closer look as I respect your wisdom on games. Best of luck.

good luck on clemson ted, dont have a lot of time to post today,, my 2 plays are celtics -1, and capitals +1/2 (-1.10).. catch up with you this evening.

Low Tide:

Glad that my article on money management could answer a couple of your questions. Should you have any additional questions on this matter or any other, please feel free to ask as I will be more than happy to respond to you.

Yes, it was a tough loss on Wisconsin last night. I think I had the right team but the wrong results. Happens all the time. Just part of the business. Good luck to you tonight.

Kojak:

I respect your opinion as well and recognize that you are on Wake Forest tonight. Please stand firmly on your conviction if you feel strongly. Good luck to you my friend and be well.

SSI:

Thank you for the best wishes. Good luck on the Celtics and the Capitals tonight. I'm passing on the NBA tonight and will pick it up again after All Star weekend.

Ted:

I'm not a serious player or a sharp by any means but I think that you are class and I have enjoyed the extra change your picks have brought me.

Blessings be upon you my friend,

Ham

Ham:

First, let me you thank for your blessings. You are very kind to extend such a gift. Thank you for the kind words as well. Glad that I may have helped you in some manner. Always nice to hear of a fellow posters success. Continued good luck to you in the future.

 

[oldmanTED]

Promised to be back with one additional play. Had to wait for the status of NC Charlotte G Demon Brown. With ESPN reporting at half time of the Wake Forest/Clemson game that Brown will not play, I will lean with the Cardinals.

1* Louisville -3 (Line already moving to -4).

Good Luck All.
