Update

College basketball is not really happening so I am going to take a break until March madness. Not from betting, just from posting my horrific picks. I would not want anyone else to suffer the same gut wrenching results I have over the last two weeks.

As for poker, last night was actually fun because I did well in a couple. Still ended my run with bad beats in all four:

Pokerstars - 120th out of 2448, lost AA to A6s.
Pokerstars - 42nd out of 2638, lost AKs to AJo.
Pokerstars - out of the money in the 3.30 rebuy (KK lost to some crap and ran into aces a lot)
FullTilt - 3rd out of 56, KJo lost to K2.

It is hard to have fun when you just keep losing these 70-30 or better when all the money is in. Losing those when it is only 20%-50% of your stack is bad enough, but constantly getting the snot kicked out of you when all the money is in is no fun. Sometimes I wonder why I still play since I don't really enjoy it that much anymore.

B-ball update

Wednesday pixs

Ball State +15
Ohio +2
Drake -3
James Madison +12
La Salle +2
East Carolina +5
Duke +2 (yeah, you read that right!)

These are all the ones with a delta of 3 or greater after factoring the ranking, spread and 3.53 pts for the home team. The new formula blends the rankings between point margins in previous games with outright wins or losses and the home advantage has been lowered from 4.00 to 3.53.

pre-game update

Screwed up in the Skillz tourney. It was fun, but I really messed up the final table with too much limping and folding the nuts on the flop because of possible draws. Oh well, maybe next week.

I went 3-2 on last nights ncaa b-ball and 8-8 overall. Thus for the season I am
11-7 but the parlay crap crushed my bankroll. I will do one more trial run tonight to see if the trends for the new system are positive or not.

New picks

They tried to break me Saturady. I have to admit, I did a lot of soul searching Sunday, but I have re-tweaked my formula and dropped the parlay bullcrap.

Tonight is test run for the new system to make sure I am back on track before I teach those crocks a serious lesson tomorrow.

In order of confidence:
Miami (ohio) -7.5: Central Michigan is too bad and being at home won't help

Hofstra +1.5: two evenly matched teams, but Hofstra is at home getting points

Florida State -10: FL state is too much better and at home

The next two technically didn't make the cut, but not that much else to look at tonight.

OK State +8.5: evenly matched teams but texas is giving up too many points

Florida +4.5: Florida is slightly better and getting points so home field adv won't help Kentucky

Also, I might play the blogger Skillz game tonight while I watch the games.
