Couple things I want to bring up.
It's business as usual at the sportsbooks tomorrow. Though it is hard to believe, all of them are open. In fact we dont have a whole lot planned between me and the misses so sometime tomorrow I think I am going to go out and hit my usual thursday contest plays. If not then I have to do it friday and I would rather not be in that mess.
I think my GF is taking the holidays a little harder then anytime since we have been here. She was suppose to go and meet her family in florida last week but her flight was one of the flights that got cancelled due to the Vegas snow and she missed out on seeing everyone this year. Seems like she has been a little bummed since then. We went to some christmas place the other night called something like opportunity knocks, basically a bunch of christmas displays, etc for people to walk around and see. The money goes towards charity. She volunteerd at this place the next night with a bunch of co-workers. Tonight or tomorrow we are suppose to drive thru some area and look at the lights. I could care less about this stuff but I am doing it so she is happy. When you dont have kids christmas isnt really that important and now when you take all the nieces and nephews out of the equation we dont have much too share this year.
She said the other day how we have no presents under the tree and that it looked empty (In the past we take the money we spend for christmas on each other and give it too the needy or something like that). I honestly have strong feelings when it comes to x-mas and how most adults should handle it. I think it is a kids holiday and for the needy (adults). Dont get me wrong I think it is all about giving. I feel we should all just be thankful for our heath and happiness more then anything else. In fact I dont want anything for christmas, it makes me feel really odd when I get something. I would rather not get anything at all. I have seen a lot of adults, frineds of mine, still get excited about getting presents from their my mom and dad, like they are still 11 years old. Just a part of me that thinks this is kind of wrong, espcally when you are in your 30's. If anything I think at our ages (my frineds and mine-30's) we should be clearly outspending our parents on presents with each other but some of my buddies still dont. Sort of payback time from when we were younger. I refuse a present from my parents, I have told them for years please dont buy me anything so they stopped (and I buy them something every year). I could go on and on about some of this stuff but that is how I feel.
Anyways I went and got my GF and I some tickets too a comedy show and also too see Lance Burton (magician), so she will be surprised. The one thing I did this year too really surprise her is just went and spent over $150 at Petsmart this morning and when she goes to bed tonight I am going to hang the animals (2 dogs and 1 cat) stockings and put their presents under the tree. So when she awakens there will be unexpected presents under the tree. I know it is kind of pathetic but this is the kind of stuff you do when you dont have kids, LOL!!!
I have been really hitting the college basketball hard of late and I have been making all around great bets when compared to the closing line on sides and totals. It is getting so frustrating as I am losing on a nightly basis with sides. Not sure if to just put more money on totals, as the complete opposite is true with that and get away from the sides all together. Makes almost no sense to me as I think I am making great bets. Last night I had Missouri -3, Paciffic +7.5, Colorado -16, clevland st -6, Dayton -8.5, weber st +11, Wyoming, +21 and Buffalo +11. By far in a way my best stretch of betting I have ever had in my life is going on right now. Now I need to turn that into winning. My portfolio of plays have never been better from a betting at apex numbers/beating closing lines. The thing is it feel like hoops has been going on forever and we havent even hit the halfway point. Next two months have historically been my best months of the year. Not trying to jinx myself but I am very excited about this.
Been making almost all of my best at home nowadays. I think maybe with a partner Vegas is worth it for hoops but without I can get way way more done at home throughout the day. I am in at about 13 offshore books right now (off the top of my head). I did enter Leroys CBB contest, whcih starts in early jan but other then that dont see much of a reason to bet down there this time of year.
Hope everyone here at the Rx has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
