Wednesday NCAAB Play GC
On Wednesday the free pick is on the Texas Longhorns. Game 777 at 8:00 eastern. Texas wins by an average 16 points per game in road games this season and has turned it up a notch vs winning teams. They have won all 7 times vs winning teams covering in 6 of those wins. Iowa State is a decent team this year and has performed well at home. Tonight however they will take on a Texas teams that is just flat out more talented. They Cyclones are a paltry 3-15 and 5-12 ats vs opponents who score 77 or more points per game in the second half of the season the past few years and lost and failed to cover all 3 times when installed as a home dog in this range. Take Texas Tonight. On the Wenesday card I have the NBA Revenge Goy backed with a strong system and a 26-1 Power angle you just wont find anywhere else. Those with me On Tuesday cashed nice with Orlando. More damage tonight. In college hoops I have a 21-4 Triple angle Dominator, A huge system pay in a nationally televised game and a Blowout side. Jump on and be the right side of Hump day. Texas is the Bonus Play tonight . BOL GC

triple-dime bet 725 Pittsburgh / 726 UConn OVER 132.5 BetUS
Analysis: NCAAB: Pittsburgh Panthers at Connecticut Huskies - Over 132 (Best Bet) -110 | Uni~t Value: 3
Game Date: 1/13/2010
Note: The Panthers have jumpstarted their offense in recent games and despite the slow pace that they have, they are doing two things. They are hitting high percentage shots, over 48% the last 5 games, and they are doing that because they are driving the hoop. That does another thing for us, create foul shots, and they are hitting those. We know that the Huskies are going to pace up tonight, that is what they do and they do that more often on this floor. It just simply is more easy to run your plan in front of the home crowd and with Pitt being at least as good of a rebounding team, UConn knows that getting into a brawl is not going to be the best thing to do. That is probably going to happen anyway and as stated that is going to be beneficial to us at the Free Throw Line. This line opened at 131 and I would play it up to 136.

double-dime bet 714 HOU -9.5 (-110) Bodog vs 713 MIN
Analysis: NBA: Minnesota Timberwolves at Houston Rockets - Rockets -9.5 -110 | Unit Value: 2
Game Date: 1/13/2010
Note: I know that the Wolves are more healthy than they have been all year but they are still not playing sound defense and teams that don't do that can't win on the road. They certainly have not this year and tonight they play a team that has had their number for a long time. The Rockets are 8-0-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings and having lost 4 of their last 5 with all 4 losses away from this a~rena, they will be motivated much to get one here. We could easily see an offensive explosion tonight by the Rockets, playing this team that has allowed all comers to top the century mark in their last 8 games. I am laying these points.

double-dime bet 751 St. Louis 7.0 (-110) Bodog vs 752 Duquesne
Analysis: NCAAB: Saint Louis Billikens at Duquesne Dukes - Saint Louis +7 -110 | Unit Value: 2
Game Date: 1/13/2010
Note: Too many poi~nts to give a team like the Billikens, who play a strong brand of D, do not turn the ball over, and have a bench that they can rely on. Add in the fact that the Dukes struggle from the Free Throw Stripe which makes it hard for them to close out wins. They have won just 1 of their last 5 games over a NOBODY and laying 7 here? Please

Analysis: NCAAB: Miami Hurricanes at Virginia Tech Hokies - Miami Florida +3.5 -110 | Unit Value: 2
Game Date: 1/13/2010
Note: Just give me the team with the better bench, the better defense and 3.5 points. This Hurricane team knows how to win and with just a 1 point loss at BC as their only loser, I am going to have to back them and an outright win is e~xpected here.

Analysis: NCAAB: San Diego State Aztecs at UNLV Runnin' Rebels - UNLV -7 -110 | Unit Value: 2
Game Date: 1/13/2010
Note: UNLV certainly has a score to settle with the Aztecs losing the last 3 games to them. They do have the better team and a good situation tonight with a very strong bench to work with and playing their best defense of the year right now. They are 7-1 here at this arena with just a loss to KState a~nd they simply did not matchup well with them. They do with the Aztecs and I think they win this one going away.

Game: Saint Louis Billikens @ Duquesne Dukes - Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:00 pm
Pick: 5 units ATS: Saint Louis Billikens +7.5 (-110)
Rick Majerus continues to employ the slowdown tactics designed to keep his team in the game as he rebuilds the talent at St. Louis. That means that this is a hard team to stretch out the lead against. They have faced some very good teams, but show the largest deficit in any loss at just 12 points. Last year they had success vs. this Duquesne team beating them at home then falling by just 2 on the road. Damien Saunders has been a beast for the Dukes averaging 14.4 points per game and 12.8 rebounds per game, but he could get bottled up in the zone employed by Majerus here. With none of the top three scorers producing better than 24% from deep, that zone could have him surrounded and tough for the Dukes to find consistent offense. I'll go with St. Louis in this one.

SPORTS WAGERS
INDIANA +1.56 over Phoenix
Two things to note here with the first being that the Suns are a completely different team on the road than they are at home. Phoenix is 9-10 on the road but they’re just 1-7 in its last eight road games. No doubt this visitor is not playing nearly as good as they were out of the gate. The next thing to note, which is even more significant, is the small number the books put out there. The books are going to take a ton of action on the Suns and they design it that way. They could have come out with a 5½ and not swayed a single bet the Pacers way. There’s not a lot else to say about this game. The Pacers are a bad team from the East and although they have some key bodies back, they get very little support from the wagering public. Of course anything can happen but the Suns are the sucker bet of the night. Play: Indiana +1.56 (Risking 2 units).
Milwaukee +2.22/+6 over PORTLAND
I’m going to split this up and play Milwaukee straight up for one unit and take back the six points for one unit. The Bucks are definitely not one of the best road teams in the NBA but they’re really in a decent spot tonight and they’re ready to pop on the road any time now. The Blazers have had nothing but trouble against teams with a lot of bigs like the Bucks have. The Grizz is loaded with bigs and the Blazers haven’t been able to beat them all year. These two met in Milwaukee about a month ago at a time when the Blazers were hot and the Bucks were cold and Milwaukee won that one in OT. The Blazers aren’t as hot anymore, while the Bucks are playing much better and that, too, works to our advantage. Lastly, the Blazers are coming off games against the Lakers and Cleveland and they have the Magic on deck. This is a vulnerable spot for them. Play: Milwaukee +2.22 (Risking 1 unit) Play Milwaukee +6 (Risking 1.05 units to win 1).
OKLAHOMA CITY –2 over San Antonio
The Spurs are coming off a big win last night over the Lakers and will now travel to a place they’ve always had trouble winning at and that was a time when the Thunder was awful. Well, they’re not awful anymore and in fact, just might be the league’s most improved team. Not only are they tough at home but they’re going good, they’re well rested and the joint will be absolutely rocking tonight. This venue has perhaps the most passionate fans in the NBA and they really get the team fired up. The Thunder have won two in a row and eight of its last 10 and nobody can argue that Kevin Durant, if he isn’t already, is the next big star in this league. Thunder will be ready for this one and the same might not hold true for the Spurs. Play: Oklahoma City –2 (Risking 2.1 units to win 2).
ANAHEIM -½ +1.17 over Boston
The Ducks woke up a few games ago and the other teams in the West had better hope this team doesn’t make the playoffs because this is not the team you want to draw in the first round. The Ducks have been wildly inconsistent with so many disturbing losses and this year is really a mirror image of last season when they were also so inconsistent but rallied late to make the playoffs. They have now won four in a row and that includes a 3-1 win in Chicago in its last game, despite being outplayed. Over that stretch the Ducks outscored its opponents 14-6 and to top it off, Jonas Hiller is really in a nice groove right now. When he’s on, Hiller has proven he’s one of the best. Enter the Bruins, a team that had dropped three of four, that’s struggling miserably to score goals and that has some key players on the rack. This is a place the Bruins seldom visit (one game here in the past seven years) and they have the Sharks up next tomorrow night. These Ducks are not a non-playoff team, yet the find themselves six points out right now. However, they’re wickedly dangerous when they show up and cannot afford not to. Play: Anaheim -½ +1.17 (Risking 2 units).
