It is not a secret that I had COVID a few weeks ago. I got my vaccine on Friday night. I felt fine, but tired. Woke up Saturday and felt exactly, like I did when I got COVID. I took my son to little league practice, did some drills and such and was pretty tired. I went home and crashed. I felt like I had been standing for days and did a very difficult and heavy lifting workout. I was hurting. I laid down on the couch and fell asleep during Baylor/Nova. I woke up saw Baylor down four, live bet Baylor +1 and bet the Oral Roberts money line boosted to +620. I put my kids to bed and fell asleep with them. In all I slept around 13 hours in an 18 hour stretch. Today, I feel fantastic. I am just saying, be aware when you get your vaccine. I got the one shot J and J, so I realize it might be different from those of you getting two doses. In addition, maybe having COVID so recently played a factor. Nevertheless, it is over now!
Will update the rest soon.
Until the games start, let’s have some fun and build the pile!

NBA Odds Boosts You Should Consider Betting
Jokic to score 30+ and the Nuggets to win +410 (FD)
Jokic’s point prop is set to 24.5. Jokic is +250 to score 30+ points.
These two parlayed should pay +342, but it is six points over his prop. Pass for me.
Trae to make 3+ threes and record 10+ assists +310 (FD)
Trae’s made threes prop is set to 2.5 and the under is juiced.
Trae is +106 to make 3+ threes.
Trae’s assist prop is set to 10.5. Trae is -198 to record 10+ assists tonight.
This combo parlayed should pay +186, so this is a massive boost. In his last eleven games, Trae has only made 3+ threes in four of them. The math makes me want to play this, but Trae’s performance making threes makes me want to fade it. If you want to fire, I understand and you can. This being a road game in Denver makes me want to fade. The math is on your side if you want to play it. I am passing.
Jokic and Murray to score 25+ points +500 (DK)
Jokic’s point prop is set to 24.5.
Murray’s point prop is set to 19.5 and the over is juiced.
Jokic is -108 to score 25+ points.
Murrya is +255 to score 25+ points.
This is all a long winded way to say if you parlay them to score 25+ on Fan Duel it pays +598. Pass on this boost.
Nuggets and Lakers to both win +150 (DK)
This should pay +112 so it is a decent boost. I can not believe I want to bet on this Laker team, but here we are. I think both these favorites win. I am in.
Gordon and Trent to score 15+ points +200 (Fox)
Gordon’s point prop is set to 13.5 and over is heavily juiced.
Gordon is +106 to score 15+
Trent’s point prop is set to 15.5 and the over is slightly juiced.
Trent is -150 to score 15+.
If you parlay them to score 15+ it should pay close to +243, nice boost. Pass.
Dame and Trae to score 60+ points +275 (Fox)
Look, I am out on Trae today. Pass for me.
NCAA Odds Boosts You Should Consider Betting
50% profit boost on every round 3 game on Draft Kings
Honestly, why would you bet anywhere else if you could use this? I mean a number would have to be pretty far off for me to not make a wager on Draft Kings using this. This is great and thank you Draft Kings. (Max bet $50) It might be annoying, but I would use this boost up to $50 on DK, then go and make larger bets wherever the best price is. FSU money line boosted!
20% profit boost on any 3+ leg parlay Draft Kings
Two obvious money line plays here in Baylor and Loyola Chicago. Just need to find a third team that is -500 or less.
USC and UCLA both to win +515 (DK)
This is a boost as it pays +466, but unless you liked these two already, I would pass. UCLA is a decent sized dog and USC is a tiny favorite. This is not for me. Pass.
FSU and Gonzaga both to win +160 (DK)
This should pay +120. Let me say this Gonzaga is not losing. You already know I am on FSU at 40/1 to win the entire thing. Of course, I have to back FSU here if I think they can win it all. I am in.
Michigan to make the Final Four +250 (DK)
You know I am on FSU. You know I bet them to make the final four and win the title. Pass for me.
Gonzaga to win and 160+ points scored +190 (FD)
The total is at 159 and Gonzaga is going to win. I am in on this. This is betting the over at +190. I am in.
Gonzaga or Baylor to win the title -120 (Fox)
I guess they could play for the title, but I am not paying this price for the two favorites.
Anyone besides Gonzaga or Baylor to win the title +100 (Fox)
No thanks again here. I guarantee that anyone playing against either of these two teams in the finals will be a dog with a better money line price. Of course, if they play in the finals, then it will not matter. Pass.
