Well.....THIS was a good night. I had a bad feeling about the Phoenix under and it turned out to be the "1" in a 6-1 night. Sides were 3-0 and totals were 3-1.

Updating the record...........:

February:
Sides: 62-51-1 (.549) (+5.8 Units)
Totals: 48-59-1 (.452) (-33.3 Units)
March:
Sides: 12-11 (.522) (+7.9 Units)
Totals: 13-14 (.481) (-3.2 Units)

In spite of a 3-1 night, totals are once again just a few units away from extinction.

Here are the overnight plays for Sunday, 3/6.........:

BOS -4 (1)
MIA -3 (4)
GS +3 (1)
SEA -3 (2)
IND +6.5 (3)

UT OVER 180.5 (1)
IND OVER 190.5 (1)

 

[Zapster]

Adding........:

HOU -2 (1)
DET -2 (4)

DAL OVER 193.5 (3)
DET OVER 191.5 (1)

Updating the record...........:

February:
Sides: 62-51-1 (.549) (+5.8 Units)
Totals: 48-59-1 (.452) (-33.3 Units)
March:
Sides: 14-16 (.467) (+0.8 Units)
Totals: 15-16 (.484) (-5.6 Units)

Here are the overnight sides for Monday 3/7. I will work on the totals (such as they are) tomorrow.........:

MIA -6.5 (5)
MIL +6 (3)
DEN -7.5 (3)
MEM +1.5 (1)

 

[Zapster]

Here are the totals. If they don't go 2-1 or better tonight, they will go the way of the dinosaurs and Francisco Franco.......:

TOR OVER 202 (4)
POR UNDER 193.5 (4)
MEM OVER 183.5 (1)

 

[Zapster]

Well THIS is shaping up to be a good night !! Assuming that Memphis hangs on to cover (they are leading by 10 right now) and they score a combined 24 or more in the last 8 minutes, it will be a 4-0 night for sides and a 2-1 night for totals. I will update the record after the games are over. Meanwhile I have a bunch of overnight plays for Tuesday 3/8 so here goes...........:

ORL +5.5 (5)
MIL -9 (1)
IND +4 (2)

ORL OVER 199 (1)
ATL UNDER 195.5 (2)
CHA UNDER 186 (3)

 

[Zapster]

Adding.......:

WAS +4.5 (2)
SA -7.5 (3)

WAS OVER 204 (1)
NJ UNDER 181 (3)

 

[Zapster]

Adding......:

MEM +3.5 (1)
LAC +6 (1)

MEM OVER 193 (2)

 

[Zapster]

Fitting that the totals met their demise on the very bizarre play that ended the Sacto-Memphis game. As promised I will not be posting them in this thread for the rest of the year. I will keep track of them though and if something really good pops up I will post it either in the contest or the tracking forum.....or both.

Meanwhile, here is the updated record for the sides.........:

February:
62-51-1 (.549) (+5.8 Units)
March:
22-19 (.537) (+11.0 Units)

And here are the overnight plays for Wednesday, 3/9..........:

GS +11 (2)
NO +2 (4)

The good the Gooder and the GOODEST

News is all good here. Good, gooder and goodest !!

The Good: Sides went 2-0 last night.
The Gooder: Sides went 2-0 last night including a sucessful fade of New Jersey. (see my February thread for my considered and thoughtful opinions on the state of New Jersey)
The Goodest: Guess who is getting faded tomorrow !!!

The 2-0 night and the plus 6 units brings the record to..........:

February:
62-51-1 (.549) (+5.8 Units)
March:
24-19 (.558) (+17.0 Units)

And here is the long awaited play that may lead us to the grand finale of our bastardized, serialized, personalized & semi-plagarized version of The Really Ugly Duckling.........:

MIA -9 (1)

Hey....I know a one unit play isn't sexy.....but our chance at literary immortality cannot be measured in Units, Points, Cash or Green Stamps !!

 

[Zapster]

Adding..........

LAK +8 (2)

Congratulations and an Apology

First of all let me congratulate all who have been reading this thread. We have set a new record !! In February I posted 17 consecutive times without anybody else commenting or otherwise interrupting my train of thought.

Now with this post we have gone TWENTY posts of just me talking !!!

As Eric Cartman says........"I love you guys"

This thread has been one of the better kept secrets in this forum. Almost 56% winners on the sides AND the duck story.....and fewer than 100 reads per day.

You loyal few deserve better than what I am about to tell you............

I....uhhhhh......welllll.....ya see......I got SO excited about tonight's fade of the T-Wolves.....even though it is kinda only a one unit plays that I went and made a pretty loud post hyping this thread.

I was immediately regretful !!!

The masses will likely soon invade this nice quiet little thread and will likely bring all sorts of stink and disease with them.

I am SO sorry !!! I don't know what I was thinking. Clearly I need to work harder on impulse control.

Nothing to be done now. Go Heat....Go Lakers.....and hopefully I will be back tonight to wrap up the duck story.

 

[GAMBLIN1]

if you want the masses you must tout your wins each night! yesterday 3-0 monthly record X season X.... me, me, me.... me me to= great matrix moment

goodluck tonight

 

[Zapster]

Silly me Gamblin1....here I thought all they cared about was the duck!!

But seriously.....as someone who used to get close to 1000 hits per night, the quiet does have its upside. Also.....if I am doing well, I'd just as soon let the "loyal few" who have stuck with me benefit from the picks.

Oh...and by the way....I am dropping the "I am only posting these for tracking purposes" thing and saying that my sides picks are playable.

As for touting the plays with a daily headline.....that kinda goes against my nature. I DID do that today, but that was more to tout the Duck story than to tout the plays.

 

[GAMBLIN1]

are you referring to the zoooligist from sweden that watched a duck mount and F a dead duck for 2.5 hours??

 

[Zapster]

The Moment We Have All Been Waiting For !!!

Well....the T-Wolves managed to not cover tonight GETTING 9 points and LEADING by 8 in the THIRD QUARTER.

Yes it was only a one unit play......but WHAT a one unit play !!!

This means we get to have the long-awited conclusion to our story......but first, let's replay the first three chapters..........:


Chapter One........:

"Once upon a time, there was a really ugly duckling."


Chapter two...........:

"The other ducklings in the village made fun of him and the grown ducks used to sigh when they saw him because he was seriously downright butt ugly. This made the really ugly duckling sad. In fact it made him REALLY sad. As in.....he was utterly depressed.......but then one day he figured out a plan."

Chapter three......:

"The really ugly duckling decided that he was really ugly because the duck that taught him how to swim (in other words his mother) didn't teach him right and he decided that getting a new mother would assure that he would stop being so ugly. He was very convincing and soon not only had a new mother, but everyone who used to make fun of him was now convinced that he would grow up to be a beautiful swan."

So here goes.....without further ado.....the final chapter of Zapster's version of "The Really Ugly Duckling."

Well....actually.....as things turned out, he was just a really ugly duckling.....and he did not grow into a beautiful swan....he grew up to be just a REALLY UGLY DUCK !!!

-The End

I am going to post this story in a separate thread for those poor folks who just can't seem to stop throwing away their money on the REALLY CRAPPY T-WOLVES.

I hope you guys liked it.....I had fun with it meself.

Oh and by the way......if you want to get a copy of the original story, it is included in a children's anthology called "The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales."

I took a few minor liberties with the plot.

Back later after the Laker Game.

 

[Zapster]

Another 2-0 night. This brings the record to..........:

February:
62-51-1 (.549) (+5.8 Units)
March:
26-19 (.578) (+20.0 Units)

Here are the overnight plays for Friday 311.........:

IND -1 (1)
TOR -9 (1)
CHA +8.5 (2)
HOU +6 (1)

 

[Zapster]

Adding..........:

MIL +2.5 (2)
CHI +7.5 (1)

 

[Zapster]

And what night would be complete without a fade of the T-Wolves. The line has dropped to 1 (it was a non play at 3) so......

Adding.........:

ORL -1 (1)

 

[Zapster]

This is where the air starts getting thin. 4-3 for the night and LOST a point on my winning percentage. More importantly though, we went +0.6 Units for the night so this brings the record to..........:

February:
62-51-1 (.549) (+5.8 Units)
March:
30-22 (.577) (+20.6 Units)

Here are the overnight plays for Saturday, 3/12........:

MIA -9.5 (3)
MEM -2.5 (4)
