In the Midst of Sadness. Picks 1/13

The Ducks lost last night in the College Football Championship game. This makes me sad. That's all I'm going to say about it.

Results 1/12

Detroit (+6.0) over Toronto. Odds: 1.90.
Pistons won by 3. Won $190.

Houston (-6.5) over Brooklyn. Odds: 1.95.
Rockets won by 14. Won $195.

Boston (+4.5) over New Orleans. Odds: 1.95.
Boston won by 8. Won $195.

Orlando (+11.0) over Chicago. Odds: 1.90.
Magic won by 7. Won $195.


Total: Bets: $400. Winnings: $770.  NET: +$370


January Total: -$115


What a difference hitting all the games makes. Furthermore, if you bet the underdogs on the money lines, you also had a good day (outside of Brooklyn that is).


The Games 1/13. Odds are 1.90 unless otherwise noted


Atlanta (-12.5) over Philadelphia. Big line, but the Hawks are cruising right now. Despite the spread, I like this pick.


Minnesota (+10.5) over Indiana. Seeing as how my "always pick against the Wolves" strategy has proven not infallible, I'll pick it for real. Indiana has been quite decent, but they are missing a couple of key players. Another game where Minnesota has a chance to finally win, but will probably lose by 80.


Washington (-1.0) over San Antonio. The Spurs are hard to pick, but I'll take a Wizards team playing well and playing at home.


Phoenix (-4.0) over Cleveland. Lebron is a game time decision, but my new strategy is "always pick against Cleveland." We'll see how that goes.


Golden State (-8.0) over Utah. Utah has played weirdly well, but Golden State has played like the champs, so I'll take the champs.


Sacramento (+5.0) over Dallas. Gut feeling? I usually don't do well on gut feelings...


Miami (pick) over Los Angeles Lakers. A pick 'em. I think Miami is better coached and has better players, so I'll take that to win.


If the Wolves get a win, all will be better. If they don't, it'll be exactly the same.
