Tonight and tomorrow should be very good. All I need is Golden State to win tonight to close out my parlay from last night and pay +230. I thought about trying to hedge or middle it, but I think a blowout is possible. I will just let the Warriors close it out and collect my money. It should be even more money, but Dame’s shot was only worth three and not four points. I wish I was awake to see it live!

Denver won as well last night meaning they need one more win to cash the round one series parlay listed below. I added a new section to the blog, current open bets. As you can see I have a few things listed that now include three different NBA title tickets. One of the teams involved will be playing in the western conference finals.

Current Open Bet
1. Nuggets 30/1 To Win NBA Title
2. Nuggets 28/1 To Win NBA Title
3. Portland 30/1 To Win NBA Title
4. 7 Team Round one NBA Parlay (Excludes Portland) +200
5. 5 Team Money Line Parlay
Toronto WIN
Philly WIN
Denver WIN
Portland WIN
Golden State
+230

At this point if Denver reaches the western conference finals I have a large amount I can wager to hedge. If the Warriors are -300 in the western finals, I can easily bet $600 to win $200 and make a profit. The best case scenario for me is that Houston beats the Warriors and then they are -$180 to beat Denver. I can really load up on the Rockets then with almost no risk. I feel like I have good value already as Denver is down to 22/1 and Portland is now 25/1. I will have a lot more on this in the future.

I have one wager for tonight and it is free money with a little risk.

Golden State and Houston Money Line Parlay -320. Risk the $320 and collect your $100.

It’s that time of the year. It’s officially fall asleep on the couch watching the late NBA playoff game season. During football season this only happens twice a week. At this point it happens more often than I would like to admit. I woke up last night with about three minutes left in the Utah and Houston game. Clearly, had to watch the end and check my DFS baseball lineups before stumbling to bed for the next four hours. This is not ideal in any way. I don’t want to do this, but I always say I will just watch the first quarter and go to bed. This is a lie. I repeat this lie to myself almost every week night.

The East has featured four teams that were clearly better than everyone else. Soon, we will see those four teams battle. As a Sixers fan I want to believe they can actually win the East, but I don’t think anyone is getting by Milwaukee. That is unless the Celtics figure it out. I am not going to over react to the Celtics sweeping the Pacers. That is what they should have done. Outside of making a bet on the Bucks to win the NBA title, I am not touching these series prices. I will however be targeting some games when the time is right.

The Western conference presents us with some interesting opportunities. As you may know I have a ticket on the Nuggets to win the title. Today I am adding more to the Nuggets and also buying a Portland title ticket. Why? Can either of those teams beat Golden State? Probably not, but I don’t need them to. I am just looking to hedge in the western conference finals. It is almost a lock that one of those two teams will play in the Western conference finals. At that point I will happily hedge and bet against them. I could do this in the series price or in an elimination game. Both Portland and Denver are 30/1 to win the NBA title at the moment. The math should be in our favor to hedge in the future and lock up a nice win.

I still have my large parlay on all the favorites to win their series in round one of the NBA playoffs. None of them are in any danger except maybe Denver. I believe Denver wins tonight and finishes off the Spurs. If the Nuggets face an elimination game, I will just bet the Spurs for the amount of my parlay and get myself out of it even. I don’t expect to have to do that though. I assume Denver wins tonight and it is a non-issue.

Speaking of tonight…

5 Team Money Line Parlay
Toronto
Philly
Denver
Portland
Golden State
+230

Golden State plays tomorrow, but the other four are tonight. I could see Portland being a tight game, but I will take them at home against the Thunder who are looking to go home. Also, Portland -4. Paul George is hurt, and the Trailblazers are so tough at home. Dame continues to dominate and they will advance tonight. Feels like another night of falling asleep on the couch watching the playoffs.

What a massive news day today for sports betting. It appears that within the next three weeks, the first live sports betting app will be released. From what I have read two of the contending apps will be from William Hill and the Fan Duel Sports Book app. These two make a ton of sense since they are already used in New Jersey and can be used then in PA. This is a moment I have been waiting for and it’s finally upon us. I wonder if they want this out prior to the Kentucky Derby? While you can bet horses online now, an app like this would make it much easier.

The other big news of today was that online poker would be back and live in Pennsylvania on July 15^th. I was there all the way from start of online poker until the day it all ended and Full Tilt and Poker Stars went down. I can’t wait for this to return. Many of us that gamble and play fantasy sports have a back ground in poker. In fact, I haven’t played a WSOP event since 2004. I’ve played in several events in Atlantic City and the Borgata and what not, but after graduating college I played mostly online. Having the option to play online again just feels like a dream come true. I’ve missed it. It was my income and kept me in great shape in college and my first year after graduation and into my early adult years. I assume it won’t be the same as it was, but I can hope.

The Masters did not go as planned. Really Paul Casey is to blame, but what can you do. Just like every other losing bet or bad lineup, just try to learn from it and move on. Maybe playing 100% Paul Casey was a mistake. If he makes the cut though it would have been fine. On to the next one.

The NBA playoffs started and I have made some wagers. If you are following on Twitter and Instagram, then you saw them. I had a day one parlay that died as soon as the Sixers lost the opening game. I had my parlay the other night lost thanks to the Warriors blowing that 31-point lead. Emoji Shrug. The rest of that parlay came in. The only outstanding wager I have is my parlay that includes seven favorites to advance in round one. That Pays about +110 and I still feel good about it.

There is an old gambling theory about the NBA playoffs that was once very profitable in the early and mid-2000’s. It was called the zig-zag. The theory was simple. Don’t bet game one, but then bet on the outright losers against the spread in game two. Proceed this way for the remaining games in each and every series. This was effective if you picked your spots until the Heat and Warriors took over the NBA. Now that the NBA seems to be very deep and well balanced, this system is something to monitor.

On Monday the zig-zag went 2-0. Last night it went 2-1. Tonight the theory would be to take the Pacers, the Pistons and the Jazz. Above I said pick your spots with this, that was in reference to the Pacers and Pistons tonight. I would not touch either of those teams at all. I do like the Jazz though. If the Rockets other than Harden shoot the way they did in game one, the Jazz are in trouble. However, this feels like a Jazz hang close and lose spot to me. (I want to mention that I did have Denver and Toronto last night, including a Denver/Toronto/TB Rays Parlay. I forgot to post it so, I will not count it for my record. Sucks, but that is on me.)

*I removed college basketball from record as the season has ended

The Masters. One of the few times a year I get excited about golf. Is it gambling and fantasy related? Of Course. I love the concept of the Millionaire Maker on Draft Kings. The idea that anyone can and will turn $20 into $1 million is exciting, despite the odds. I will gladly take my shot and hopefully turn a profit. My expectations are slightly low as I realize the payout structure and likelihood of a high finish is slim. Two years ago I did have the first and second place finishers in my lineup. That was my best Masters financially.

Do I know a great deal about golf? No, not really. I play golf on DK and FD and I am in a PGA fantasy league. I think I know more than a large portion of the people playing, but I am not in the top tier of knowledge the way I think I am for football and basketball. I do understand game theory and how to avoid group thinking as a strategy. I do listen to podcasts and read a few articles on the topic to gather as much information as I can. My kids in the car will say “why do we have to listen to people talking again.” Daddy is trying to pay for more Pokemon cards, Nintendo Switch games and trips to Lego Land. That’s why.

If you have never played DFS golf, I highly recommend it. You pay your entry fee and lineups lock early Thursday morning. You get four days’ worth of a rooting interest for your entry fee. It is similar to the NCAA tourney in that way. Did I mention you could turn $20 into $1 million? As remote of a possibility as that is, mentally I like knowing that I could change my life dramatically due to a lineup I am entering. (There are 235,294 entrants in the Milly Maker on DK this week, so it’s hard to win) If you are debating trying this for the first time, or have played before, here are some ideas to help you actually give you a chance to win.

1. Don’t use all your salary. Most amateurs will use their entire salary and makes it more likely your lineup will be duplicated. Why does that matter? Imagine winning this thing, but then having to split it with numerous people who arrived at the lineup as you. Leave between $100-$500 in salary left to help make your lineup more unique.
2. Don’t pick Tiger Woods. People love to root for him. Could he win? Maybe, but he is an easy fade to me. Let the public play and cheer for him.
3. Don’t pick any of the old guys. Once you win the Masters you get to play there forever. THESE GUYS CAN’T WIN. Make the cut, yes. They will not win.
4. This is a spot where course history matters. Jordan Spieth has been god awful for the last few years. At least that’s how it feels, but he plays very well here. I will have some shares of Jordan Spieth.
5. The odds on favorite seems to never win here. That doesn’t mean you should not play Rory this week. You should know that he is the betting favorite.

 

I mentioned the other day that I bet Paul Casey to win the Masters and I have him at 30/1. I will be invested in Casey in other ways too. He is my most owned player in my DFS lineups. Here is my current player pool that I have narrowed down and am working with.

Paul Casey
Charley Hoffman
Kevin Kisner
Fransisco Molinari
John Rahm
Jordan Spieth
Pat Cantlay
Bryson DeChambeau
Charles Howell III
Tony Finau
Dustin Johnson
Matt Kuchar
Brooks Koepka
Cameron Smith

I am keeping my pool tight and hoping this core performs well. If I can get all of these players to make the cute I should have a good weekend.

 

 

I need to mention that Virginia winning was a nice end to the college basketball season for me. While I missed my middle by half a point, I did turn a profit and got to cash that Virginia 12/1 ticket. My record below is updated and accurate now that the college season has ended and the NBA playoffs are about to begin. I will be back with some NBA series bets soon. Good luck everyone!

If you read the last post, then you know I needed Virginia to just win on Saturday to lock up a nice profit in my bracket pools. I ended up trying to middle the game and bet Auburn +5.5 for the amount I was about to win if Virginia won.

 

I needed Virginia to win by 1-5 to hit all the way around and wouldn’t you know I got there. Is Virginia a team of destiny? It certainly seems that way. Now that Michigan State has been eliminated I needed to reassess my potential bracket pool winnings. I know for sure I am going to win $250, even if Virginia loses tonight. However, how much more do I stand to win should they win the title? Once I factor in my entry fees and any equity swaps I have out there bracket wise, a Virginia win would net me an additional $400.

Sadly, the line for tonight is too tiny to create a middling window of any kind. If the line got to Virginia -2.5 or even 2 it would give me a small window to try and make this work. However, I did find an option. Looking at the props offered for tonight’s game I noticed some alternate lines. Most books offer these with different odds since the point spread had been altered. In those props I noticed Texas Tech +7.5 is -280. Hmmmmm. Obviously, laying $280 to win $100 is not exactly profitable in the long term. This is a unique situation. Just as I could Saturday, if I bet the $400 additionally that I will win with a UVA win on TT +7.5, I could win about $150 if TT is good with the points. This wager would also create a nice seven-point window to middle and win both. Based upon how both of these teams play and the insanely low total of 118, this is going to be a close game. I think I have to make this wager and try to middle once again. I wish the odds were better, but the window and points allow me to hedge with a massive chance to win both. (Also, if you were paying attention a few months ago I gave out UVA at 12/1 to win the title. Hopefully, you have that ticket in hand)

 

The Masters is this week and I will be making several lineups on Draft Kings and Fan Duel. While those will lock on Thursday morning, I will be making one wager on a golfer to win. I really like Paul Casey at 30/1. Casey has played the Masters 12 times at this point making the cut nine times. Looking into the numbers even deeper, Casey has five top ten finishes and another three in the top 20.

Paul Casey Masters Finishes Last Four Years
2018 Tied 15th
2017 6^th
2016 Tied 4^th
2015 Tied 6^th

All of this suggests he has been close and can win this tournament. At 30/1 he is too good of a value to pass up. I will be back later this week with my Masters lineups. Good luck everyone!

This is such a weird sports moment. The NBA is slowly grinding to the playoffs. College basketball is down to three games left. The Masters is a week away. Baseball is just getting started. From a gambling and fantasy standpoint, I hate the next few day.

The NBA at this point is very difficult to figure out and bet on or play in terms of DFS. Motivation for every team is bizarre and late scratches and inactive players are very common. It can be overwhelming to figure it all out while also worrying about other things. (Like life, kids, wife, baseball lineups, etc.)  I think I am going to be done with NBA wagering and DFS until the playoffs start in a few weeks. I will have some series bets for sure once the matchups are lined up. Part of the reward for having NBA league pass and watching games all year is we should have an idea how these teams will play against each other in a seven game series. I also need to prepare to hedge my Denver Nuggets 28/1 to win the title ticket I have.

I don’t know a ton about golf and the PGA tour, but of course I am in a PGA fantasy league and will make DFS lineups for the Masters. DFS golf is such a great bang for your buck. Four days of play for one entry fee! I will post my lineups next week before the Masters starts. I plan to two do things, fade Tiger Woods and fade Jordan Spieth. Spieth has been awful for what feels like two years now.

I truly forgot how frustrating DFS baseball can be. You can get your pitching right, but watch all your hitters do nothing. Just as hard to watch is your lineup hit five home runs and then one of your pitchers get shelled. That happened to me this past weekend. I am already looking forward to the NFL being back.

I can win or finish in the money in all my bracket pools if one of two things happen. If Michigan State loses Saturday and Virginia wins, I will clinch a money finish. If Virginia wins it all I will also clinch a money finish. The big question is, do I hedge now to lock up a win, or wait until the finals and hope Virginia is there. Auburn at +210 does seem like a great hedge spot. I do think Virginia is going to grind them into the ground. I could always take Auburn at +5.5 and hope Virginia wins, but doesn’t cover and then win all the money. I am kind of thinking that I should bet Auburn and basically have a free roll of trying to middle the situation. Meaning I should win twice as much if Virginia wins but doesn’t cover. As long as Virginia wins one game, I calculated that I should win about $250 for sure. I am looking at this as a free $250 I can bet. Now, if Virginia wins by 1-5, I win my wager and the $250 from the brackets. I basically have no risk to win twice as much. If Virginia loses, I get the $250 I win on my bet and lose my brackets.

I do really like Virginia and think that they will cover, however I am going to bet Auburn at +5.5 to try and win all the money. In the second game I really like what Texas Tech has been doing. Yes, Michigan State has the coach and pedigree of past history, but this feels like it’s Texas Tech’s time. They went through the toughest path physically possible beating a 14, 6, 2, 1. I realize that Michigan State had a similar path that included Duke. I just really like TT’s defense. I am going to take TT +2.5.

Good Luck everyone!

Not exactly the start I wanted to my sweet 16 wagers. I went 0-3 picking games and only won that money line parlay I mentioned on 93.7 The Fan with the Yankees. I hope to bounce back tonight. As a reminder I have LSU, VT, VT (First half), UNC, and Kentucky.

Yesterday was the start of the baseball season and it was profitable. The afternoon slate on Draft Kings was almost incredible as I got close to have a decent sweat. I was one home run away from being one home run away, HA. Still, it was a profitable first day of baseball despite Toronto almost getting no hit.

As the NBA regular season winds down things get weirder and weirder in terms of rest and tanking. I came extremely close to taking down the $44 Spin Move on Draft Kings again last night. I finished 13^th and was a Buddy Hield three away from a big push. Hield missed a three to tie the game at the buzzer and give me over time to hopefully bolster my four players in the game. I had Ian Clark, De’Aaron Fox, Julius Randle and Christian Wood. Fox was extremely low owned (7.37%) and crushed scoring almost 60 DK points. I would have needed about 19 points from those four in OT to push me to the top of the leader board. That could have happened had Hield made that three. Tonight is another night and I am ready to roll.

In terms of DFS tonight I like two pitchers German Marquez and Joey Lucchesi. I am going to build around those two before making my stacks. I could be talked into Gerrit Cole, but I think I am going to stay away for now. For hitters I am looking to stack Oakland and Milwaukee and hope we get a lot of home runs!

The NBA has given us two fantastic games for fantasy options. I don’t think it’s possible to play too many people from the Blazers, Hawks, Hornets or Lakers. This all hinges upon if anyone sits, but fire up those game stacks! I will start every lineup I make with Dame and Kanter and build from there. Good luck everyone!

Last night I had the privilege to give out some picks on the Paul Zeise’s Radio Show on 93.7 The Fan Pittsburgh. I gave out everything I liked for this weekend in the NCAA tourney. As I mentioned on the air last night I believe in full transparency. If you did not get a chance to listen here are my selections and thoughts.

FSU +7.5 vs. Gonzaga
This is too many points. FSU is long, big and athletic and will keep this game close with the Zags. I think Gonzaga wins, but it is a one possession game.

Tennessee -1.5 vs. Purdue
I am fading the Big Ten. I am siding with the athleticism of the ACC and SEC. Tennessee doesn’t have any bad losses, but plays in a ton of close games. I think they get it done here.

Michigan -1.5 vs. Texas Tech
NO PICK. I have no feel for this game. I am staying away.

Virginia -8.5 vs. Oregon
Load up on Virginia. Virginia is going to win this game by 10+ points on their way to the final four. I don’t think this will be close. I will bet twice as much on this game as I will the others this weekend.

LSU +6 vs. Michigan State
Just like I said above, I am going with the SEC. MSU does not look completely healthy, but obviously have the better coach. I feel like the points will be vital in this spot.

NC -5 vs. Auburn
I think this line is a joke and Auburn gets run out of the gym.

VT +7.5 vs. Duke
Duke plays slow and can’t shoot. In that case I am taking the points and believe this game plays very close.

VT +4.5 vs Duke 1^st Half
See above.

Kentucky-3 vs. Houston
I believe PJ Washington is going to play and the SEC marches on again.

Super fun Parlay
FSU +7.5
Tenn -1.5
Virginia -8.5
LSU +6
NC -5
VT +7.5
Kent -3
A $20 wager will pay about $1848!!

Baseball has finally returned to our lives and I can’t wait to make some DFS lineups on Draft Kings and Fan Duel. DK has a split slate of early game and then afternoon games, while FD has one larger slate. I really like targeting Jose Berrios at Pitcher as he a high strike out pitcher and gets to face an already injured Cleveland team. Tanaka and Nola are also in play for me in the earlier games. I always try to remember that starting pitchers don’t go super deep into games this early in the year, thus I fade the super expensive guys at time.

The obvious offense to target early is the Yankees and they will be super popular. To differentiate yourself try to stack the bottom half of the Yankees lineup. I also really like the Toronto Blue Jays bats today and it should be a low owned spot. At least that’s my plan at the moment.

 

Good luck everyone! Enjoy the fantastic weekend of baseball, NCAA hoops and NBA!

When the NCAA tourney starts I always take a few days off from NBA DFS. I took off Thursday through Sunday and decided to come back and play last night. I spent Thursday and Friday at Hollywood Casino making bets and watching games. While I don’t think Hollywood has figured out exactly what they should do with their sportsbook, the setup is pretty nice. The chairs in the sports book are not optimal for watching games for long hours. Additionally, there are no people serving drinks in that area. You have to physically leave and go to a bar to get a beverage.

The one saving grace is right outside the sportsbook is a sports bar. The beer selection is better than you would think and the food was actually pretty good. Even more surprising is that the prices were reasonable. I used my comps on Thursday and paid almost nothing for five hours of food, drinks and basketball. On Friday I used my daily food credit and spent about seven hours at this sports bar. With food and only drinking craft beer, my bill was about $60. Considering the amount of time and drinks ordered this seemed very fair. I would have spent this at Aroogas, or any sports bar easily and would not have been 100 feet from a sports book.

Obviously, in game wagering is the future and will be amazingly simple once we have an APP in Pennsylvania. Until then we have to be near the book. I took advantage of it twice for my benefit and once to my detriment. After betting Yale +7, watching them miss open shots in the first half, I felt they could come back down 15. The second half line was +1. I bet that and won bother wagers. I did the same with Virginia too. Conversely, I did it when Cincinnati lost their lead and that worked out horribly. There are value opportunities in wagering in game, especially if you are closely watching. I will say my Cincy wager was beer fueled and did not make as much sense later. HA.

I would highly recommend that you go and watch the next round of games at the sports bar near the sports book. You can get food, relax and bet the games. The service was very prompt despite how busy it was. The major downside is the bar with the best beer is just down the escalator from this area. I walked down and got some other delicious IPA’s that were only available at that bar. The prices were not that outlandish either. A craft beer that is normally $5 was $6 or $7. $7 for an Ever Grain Brewing Joose Juicy is a fantastic deal when a Bud Light is $5. Go and check it out for yourself!

 

Last night was my return to DFS and it was a fantastic return. Four days helped wonders it appears. Well, that and the double OT game from Portland and Brooklyn. My original plan was to play some Memphis value and then semi-stack the Portland/Brooklyn game.

 

Once Mike Conley was also ruled out, I late swapped out Carroll and Bender for Caboclo and Holiday. That was a massively profitable swap. Memphis went off and beat the Thunder who are now in free fall. The entire starting five for Memphis went off and I had three of them, two of which were the lowest owned.

 

I went to bed after the end of the first quarter of Portland and Brooklyn and felt that I could have a nice night and make some money. I texted a friend that it could be a good night, especially if we got OT in Portland. I woke up this morning to find out we not only got OT, we got two! The extra time helped me win the $12 single entry GPP and almost win the $44 spin move. What a great way to wake up! Hopefully, I can keep it going tonight!

One of the best gambling days of the year is finally here. Beer. Basketball. Betting Slips. It’s everything I want in a day. I will be at Hollywood Casino for a large portion of the next several days. Of course, I need to post my wagers before I get there and try to help out everyone and let us all make some money.

Yale +6.5
LSU doesn’t have a coach and Yale can score the basketball big time. This feels like too many points. I think LSU wins a close game and the points matter here.

Belmont +3
This team is very good. We have been betting Belmont for weeks it feels like and why stop now especially with them getting points. How can I take Maryland seriously? They lost to PSU.

Northeastern +6.5
All of these lines have dropped slightly from their peak, but I am still in. This is the worst Kansas team in a few years. Bill Self has a history of losing early when he isn’t a one seed. I think Northeastern wins this game.

Northeaster +230
Ohhhh the money line dog wager.

Murray State +3.5
This line has also fallen slightly, but I am siding with the future top five NBA draft pick. Remember, Marquette has been in free fall. They have one win in the last three weeks. ONE.

St. Mary’s +4.5
This is not the Villanova team of the last few years. The public is going to see this and take Villanova. St. Mary’s is very tough against three point shooting teams and that’s all NOVA can do.

Wofford -3
Sadly, I can’t bet this at my casino since Seton Hall is in Jersey, but you can!

Yale +6.5

Murray State +3.5
