Suns +4½ -110 at Ace |
Lost $110.0 |

The Suns are slumping having lost 5 of their L/6 and failed to cover all 6 but they must not be disrespected in their ability to be competitive here tonight vs the Kings who have also lost two straight . I know the Suns are to be without Ayton and Durant but their bench is capable of pulling up the slack. Suns are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 Friday games.Suns are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.Suns are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games. SACRAMENTO is 4-15 ATS in home games on Friday nights over the last 3 seasons.Kings are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 Friday games.Kings are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games playing on 2 days rest.Kings are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a double-digit loss at home which was the case last time out. The Suns have won 4 of their L/5 visits to Sacramento. NBA team (PHOENIX) - cold team - failing to cover 6 or 7 of their last 8 against the spread, with a winning record on the season playing another winning team are 146-95 ATS L/5 seasons for a 61% conversion rate for bettors.

Jazz +9 -110 at linepros |

The Jazz consistently bring their A game to tilts against top tier sides like visiting Milwaukee . Note: Jazz are 5-0-2 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.The Jazz have also been particularly tough to play against at home when they are underdogs as is evident by their 10-0 ATS record as a home underdog this season. The edge goes to the Salt Lake city crew in this spot play. UTAH is 10-2 ATS versus good teams - outscoring their opponents by 3+ points/game this season. NBA Underdogs (UTAH) - sub par defensive team - allowing 114+ points/game on the season, after 3 straight games where both teams scored 115 points or more are 37-14 ATS L/27 seasons for a 73% conversion rate for bettors. NBA Road teams vs. the money line (MILWAUKEE) - good shooting team (45.5-47.5%) against an poor defensive team (45.5-47.5%), red hot shooting team - 3 straight games making 50% or better of their shots are 6-28 L/5 seasons for a go against 83% conversion rate for bettors. Bucks are 4-17 ATS in the last 21 meetings in Utah. Play on Utah to cover |

NHL | Mar 24, 2023 Devils vs Sabres |
Devils -167 at linepros |
Lost $167.0 |

Both these sides are off losses and both are not playing a top tier brand of hockey at the moment. However, according to my power rankings the NJ Devils very much have the edge here. Note: Four of the Sabres last six losses have been by at least three goals and two have been by at least six goals so their obviously completely in disarray. Sabres are 0-5 in their last 5 home games. Devils are 23-5 in their last 28 vs. a team with a losing record. Devils are 26-8 in their last 34 road games. BUFFALO is 0-9 ATS in home games against top caliber teams - outscoring opponents by 0.65+ goals/game this season. Devils are 5-0 in the last 5 meetings in Buffalo. Play on NJ Devils to win |

My College basketball sides/Totals projections are based on a system I have used for more than 25 years. The system is has been honed and tweaked multiple times during this period, and is now a viable long term profit based way to calculate value based Totals /Sides offerings from the sports books. ( Coaching systems, pace, officials ,injuries, road.away dichotomies, revenge scenarios and play off seeding desperation are all taken into consideration as is current form and league wide stats/trends dating backs 37 seasons) In other words no stone is left unturned. Alabama HC Oats is 12-1 ATS as a neutral court favorite of 6.5 to 12 points in all games he has coached since 1997. ALABAMA is 8-0 ATS versus excellent ball handling teams - committing 12 or less turnovers/game this season. Alabama to cover |

( Coaching systems, pace, officials ,injuries, road.away dichotomies, revenge scenarios and play off seeding desperation are all taken into consideration as is current form and league wide stats/trends dating backs 37 seasons) In other words no stone is left unturned. Miami plays an explosive form of small ball , behind top tier guards , including a small ball super star in Norchad Omier. I know Houston is a strong side, but have failed to cover 7 of 8 vs elite opp with a .750 win % or better like the Canes. Advantage Miami. MIAMI in 23 games as an underdog over the last 2 seasons with both themselves and their opponents scoring an average of 72.2 ppg. MIAMI is 8-1 ATS (versus very good defensive teams - shooting pct defense of 39%or less over the last 3 seasons.

Experience & Awards I have been wagering professionally on sports and horse racing for 30 years. My picks have been documented for 22 years. I was the 2009 NFL Handicapper of the Year in 2009 in a prestigious event. I won the Ultimate Football NFL Championship in 2006. I have been an NBA World Champion with 9 winning seasons the last 11 years. I also continue to beat the College Hoops book makers with a high volume attack on a yearly basis. Handicapping Approach I have a firm belief in my systems. There is not a sport I feel I can not beat. My handicapping can be best referred to as the 'The Smart Money Approach". I leave no stone unturned. I have a large database of information and statistics. I also take into consideration injuries, current and historical trends, and form. I also factor in the weather, surface conditions, and line movement. Sports Betting Is An Investment Many gamblers offer causal explanations for long runs of good and bad performance. The same is true of financial analysts. The records of bettors and investors show the same variable successes and failures. Both investment opportunities show significant variables and both can give the investor an advantage. You need to do the proper research to consider all the facts. If you do so a long term profit is more than attainable. I think sports betting is even better than the stock market. The investor/bettor has much more control over his funds. You can take a short break, and almost always know your bankroll has not been untouched. In the markets you are leaving your 401K and other mutual investments in the hands of a volatile marketplace. Plus, you are being torched for huge handling fees by brokers on individual investments. These fees would make sports book managers drool. I am not saying it is easy making a living from sports betting. But, the small percent who do consistently beat the books have a much better rate of return than that of any market investor! This is the outlook I have on every wager I place in the sports wagering markets. I take my portfolio very seriously! Money Management To be a successful and profitable sports bettor you must always have a long term goal. Set that standard before you begin. You need to set aside a fairly substantial bankroll. If you want to be conservative you would wager no more than 1-2% of your bankroll per game. No more than 3% on the best bets. This might seem a little on the low side. But, this is a long and turbulent battle with the books. You will be happy that you practiced good money management and frugality. Here are some additional guidelines I recommend. 1. Shop for your best possible lines (rogue lines) from the most reputable sources. 2. Stay disciplined and do not stray from recommended bankroll allocation on individual wagers. Chasing your wagers never a good idea. 3. Always keep in mind that your bankroll is your life line. It must be treated the same way you would treat finances allocated for any business venture. 4. Buy off the hook on key numbers. 5. Understanding the importance and the art of middling. 6. Keep a record of all your wagers and results and use them as part of over all statistical data base. These are some important factors that will help you in your quest for long term profits. I leave you with a thought from the late great Jimmy the Greek. The house does not beat the player, it just gives him the opportunity to beat himself. *All selections have the same allocated bankroll %(which equals 1 betting unit). |
