if you are a sahm to school age children
I have two in school full time
One in school part time
One home all day.
This doesn't pertain to me, I guess.
SAHM to school aged children in the beginnings of menopause and I am working on it. It just doesn't melt off anymore. Eat healthy, get exercise, it will come, but it isn't coming easy. There are many different factors that effect weight, gain, loss etc than just a disorder.
p.s. I hope to soon be a working mom.
How silly. Everyone should care about their health. I work full-time and still go to the gym or run 6 times a week. It's not that hard.
lol... i have 4 at home and 3 in school and am fit. but it is none of your fucking business anyway.

Russell Crowe, Christian Bale, Gretchen Mol, Peter Fonda | R |
Hollywood hasn't successfully revived the western since 1992's Unforgiven, but 3:10 to Yuma, a remake of a 1957 film, makes a compelling case for bringing 'em back. Crisply directed by James Mangold (Walk the Line), Yuma boasts galloping horses and rifle play, but its real appeal lies in the intriguing psychological duel that develops between its two lead characters.
Ben Wade (Crowe) is a notorious bandit who is charming, dapper and ruthless. He's everything that stalwart Dan Evans (Bale), a one-legged Civil War vet turned failing rancher in Arizona, is not. Desperate for the risky job's $200 payday, Dan volunteers to escort a captured Ben onto a train bound for a Yuma prison. Over the course of the tense journey—Ben's posse intends to free him—the two come to appreciate each other despite conflicting moral philosophies.
"It's man's nature to take what he wants," argues Ben.
"Maybe, but I make an honest living," counters Dan.
Crowe, who's terrific, brings wit and wile to his role, while Bale, equally accomplished, offers the purposeful intensity of a man doing what a man's gotta do.
The Hunting Party
Richard Gere, Terrence Howard, Jesse Eisenberg | R |
Richard Gere may be totally gray now but he sure isn't slowing down. Following up on his sensational performance last spring as con man author Clifford Irving in The Hoax, the actor now offers another artfully amusing turn as a journalist-cum-adrenaline junkie in the comic thriller The Hunting Party.
He plays hard-drinking Simon Hunt, a onetime famous war correspondent whose career hit the skids after an infamous, on-air meltdown during the Bosnian conflict. Simon sets out, five years after the war has ended, to personally capture a notorious war criminal (against whom Simon has a very personal grudge) who's in hiding. He is joined on this wild and woolly mission by his former cameraman (Howard), who now holds down a cushy job shooting a network anchorman, and a still wet-behind-the-ears Harvard graduate (Eisenberg) whose dad is a big muck-a-muck at the network.
While the movie is fast-moving and often darkly humorous, director Richard Shepard (The Matador) never quite succeeds at getting Party to make the leap from clever to compelling. Gere provides most of the spark here, though Howard, his hurting eyes as eloquent as ever, does a solid job playing the reluctant helpmate and Eisenberg earns laughs as their eager-beaver assistant. Party's improbable story was partially inspired by actual events; a cheeky caption at the outset reads, "Only the most ridiculous parts of the movie are true."
Shoot 'Em Up
Clive Owen, Paul Giamatti, Monica Bellucci | R |
If Bugs Bunny and Bruce Willis had a love child (don't ask me how), he'd be Mr. Smith (Owen), the carrot-munching hero of the gleefully clever Shoot 'Em Up. A hyper-parody of action movies, Shoot takes the genre's clichés and then, with a very broad wink, pumps them up to absurd altitudes. Case in point: After fatally thrusting a carrot—yep, a carrot—through a bad guy's brain, Smith lectures, "Eat your vegetables."
Written and directed by Michael Davis, Shoot is intentionally far-fetched to the point of ridiculousness. It begins with Smith delivering a pregnant stranger's newborn while trading gunfire and then, when the mother is fatally shot, fleeing with the kid to save it from the pursuing shooters. Who's after the baby and why? That's for a resourceful Smith, who soon recruits a prostitute (Bellucci) for childcare help, to figure out in between firing back at persistent would-be assassins. Owen, who also saved a baby in 2006's far more impactive Children of Men, here is hard-boiled perfection, tossing off bad guys and one-liners with equal insouciance.
Fierce People
Diane Lane, Anton Yelchin, Chris Evans, Donald Sutherland | R |
Years ago, humorist Fran Lebowitz theorized that the rich are actually exceedingly happy but encourage the myth that money doesn't bring contentment so that the masses won't hate them. Her hypothesis came to mind while viewing Fierce People, an overwrought coming-of-age tale about a working-class adolescent (Yelchin) and his mom (Lane) who, while living one summer in a guest cottage on a baronial estate, learn sorrowfully that the wealthy stick up only for their own and are not to be trusted. Bad, bad rich people! The reasons to go? Engaging performances by Lane and Sutherland (who plays a wealthy geezer) and sensitive ones by teen actors Yelchin and Kristen Stewart.

Houston School Stopped Using "Redskins"
As the NFL team in Washington continues to defend its use of the name Redskins, the franchise often points out that many high schools use the name. What the team doesn't point out is that many schools are dropping the name, too.
Despite the team?s claim that ?70 different high schools? use the name Redskins, several reports have indicated that the number is actually lower than that, and the Redskins are counting high schools that have already stopped using the name. The latest school to drop the name is Lamar High School in Houston, which announced this week that it will stop going by the name Redskins and start calling its teams the Texans.

Two weeks ago, I wrote about the seven NFC teams that are
projected to improve or decline by two wins or more in 2014 based on the
current market numbers for their season win totals. I intended to write Part II of the article
last week, talking about the four AFC teams that are also projected to improve
or decline by two wins or more in 2014, but I got derailed by the College
Football Game of the Year openers at the Golden Nugget; a 'must report'
event. So, let's just call it 'better
late than never'!
The markets are telling us to expect 'more of the same' from
12 of the 16 AFC teams. What makes these
four squads different? My goal here is to focus on why these particular teams
are expected to improve or decline significantly compared to last year. I'll do that by looking at how the broader
market conditions affect the numbers.
What do the markets fixate upon?
What do they largely ignore? Read
on to find out.
Kansas City Chiefs:
11-5 in 2013, O/U 8 wins in 2014.
Last year in this space, I called the Chiefs coming off a
truly dismal 2-14 campaign "the poster child for the 'expected to be the most
improved team in the NFL' category."
Here's an excerpt:
"Quite literally, just
about every statistic and metric that we have to predict NFL success or failure

The sportsbetting world here in Las Vegas has shifted into
full summer mode over the past week. The
NBA and NHL Finals are now in the rear view mirror with the Spurs and Kings
crowned as champions, leaving a modest sportsbetting void even in the midst of the
World Cup.
Once the Finals end, my focus shifts towards the upcoming
football season, and I'm certainly not alone in that regard. Last week I wrote about NFL Season Win totals
that have begun to proliferate in Las Vegas (still lagging behind offshore,
though). Part 2 of that article will
come next week in this space.
This past Friday, we saw another clear sign that football is
just around the corner, as the Golden Nugget released their lines on 200
'College Football Games of the Year'. These
GOY pointspreads were posted on about 10-15 high profile marquee games a week,
beginning with the Texas A&M – South Carolina and Boise St – Ole Miss
showdowns on Thursday, August 28th, while running through the likes
of Oklahoma – Oklahoma St, Kansas St – Baylor and Army – Navy in December.
This is the eighth consecutive year that the Nugget has been
the first place in Vegas to post college football game pointspreads. And
there's always quite a 'scene' at the sportsbook when the numbers are posted,
as bettors who have done their homework jostle amongst each other in... [More]
I've been waiting patiently for the NFL Season Wins market
to mature, but that doesn't happen quickly here in June. Most of the notable offshores have not posted
Over/Under win totals yet, leaving Vegas as the only active market right now.
As a result, all the numbers used in this article are from right here in Sin
Of the 32 NFL teams, only 11 have Over/Under win totals that
are different from their final record last year by two games or more. In other words, the markets are telling us to
expect 'more of the same' from 21 of the 32 teams in the league.
In my Vegas Wiseguy Report article over the next two weeks,
I'm going to focus on those eleven teams that are expected to morph positively
or negatively from last year. The goal
of this discussion is to focus on why these particular teams are expected to
improve or decline significantly compared to last year. I'll do that by looking at how the broader
market conditions affect the numbers.
What do the markets fixate upon?
What do they largely ignore? Read
on to find out.
This week's focus will be on the seven NFC teams that are
projected to improve or decline by two wins or more in 2014 based on the current
market numbers for their season win totals.
Teams are listed in alphabetical order.
Next week, I'll break down the four AFC teams with an exten... [More]
Last week, I wrote that "the
NFL offseason, at least for sportsbettors, is essentially over. Numbers are up, and they're moving!"
"My first step in
assessing the upcoming NFL season begins with a thorough look back at last
year. Every team's power rating is set,
in large part, based on where they finished the previous campaign. Obviously, adjustments are made for injuries,
luck, offseason improvements or declines, coaching changes and the like, but
those base power rating numbers factor in what happened in 2013 very heavily."
Last week, I focused on the 16 teams from the AFC. In this week's Vegas Wiseguy Report, I'll
pass along a tidbit or two from each of the 16 NFC teams in regards to last
year. My focus is on things that are NOT
likely to repeat the same way in 2014. And
this week, I'll do my absolute best to avoid egregious errors like my 'San
Diego didn't make the 2013 playoffs' mistake from last week.
The Dallas Cowboys
have a grand total of one playoff win since 1996; a franchise that has sunk
into long term mediocrity over the past decade.
Given their extensive salary cap woes, it's not going to be easy for
Dallas to end that streak in 2014. Last
year, the Cowboys defense allowed a woeful 6.1 yards per play, ranked #31 out
of 32 teams. And Dallas will be hard pressed
to repeat their 67% fumble ... [More]
The LVH Superbook posted their NFL Season Win totals last
weekend. Cantor sportsbooks (CG
Technology) have had season win totals posted for months. Many other books both here in Vegas and
offshore have posted season win totals, Week 1 pointspreads and 'Game of the
Year' pointspreads. Most books that
haven't posted NFL numbers yet plan to do so in the near future. The NFL offseason, at least for
sportsbettors, is essentially over.
Numbers are up, and they're moving!

similar analysis for the 16 NFC teams in my column next week.
The Buffalo Bills

Miracle game in January 2000. They're coming off three consecutive 6-10

Only four teams remain standing in the NBA Playoffs; one of
whom will bring home the title less than a month from now. For all the drama of the first two rounds, it's
an all-chalk Final Four, with the top two seeds from each conference battling
for supremacy.
With both Conference Finals getting underway on Sunday and
Monday, I'll take a closer look at the two series. The goal, as always, is to unearth hidden
nuggets pointing towards future pointspread success while assessing pace and
totals as well.
Predicting series success generally correlates strongly with
predicting pointspread success when it comes to the NBA Playoffs. But not as much as last year! In 2013, the Final Four teams combined to go
31-11 (74%) against the spread in the first two rounds of postseason; each of
the four teams cashing at a 67% clip or better.
The 'surprise' team of the four, Memphis, went 10-1 ATS through the
first two rounds before covering only once while getting swept by San Antonio.
The ATS success of the Final Four teams in 2014 pales in
comparison to 2013. Between them, the
NBA's Final Four have turned a profit this postseason, going 25-21-1 ATS. But that 54% mark is a long, long way from
last year's 74% return for two major reasons.
First, this is an all-chalk Final Four – there are no ATS
upsta... [More]
The NFL draft is a thing of beauty for those who appreciate
hype without substance. After months of
hype – literally, months of it, more hype than we see for any Super Bowl – the
first round of the NFL draft attracted 32 million viewers to the coverage on
ESPN and the NFL Network.
That's a massive 28 percent increase over the 25 million
that watched the draft in 2013. On
digital media platforms, the draft drew more than 14 million visits, a 54
percent increase from 2013. And I'm not
convinced the ratings gold were all the result of Johnny Manziel 's crossover
publicity. Fans and bettors alike seem
to think that the draft is important.
The pre-draft hype is a series of smokescreens, with GM's
and personnel directors around the league unwilling to divulge any meaningful information
to media types and those who communicate with media types. We see mock drafts for weeks leading up to
the real draft, with the likes of Todd McShay, Mel Kiper, Pete Prisco and Mike
Mayock offering their informed predictions.
And yet despite multiple revisions of those mock drafts --
even the final versions released on draft day itself -- the best result from
the most-hyped predictors was to nail six of the 32 first round draft choices
here in 2014. That's not exactly a track
record of accuracy, yet it's remarkably consisten... [More]
The first round of the NBA Playoffs is in the books; a near perfect
storm for underdog bettors. Dogs emerged
victorious in three series: Portland over Houston, Washington over Chicago and
Brooklyn over Toronto. The underdog –
Dallas in every game – went 6-1 ATS in the Spurs – Mavs series. Other series losers like Atlanta, Memphis and
Golden State proved to be feistier than expected. Put it all together and we saw dogs go
32-15-3 ATS for the full 50 games played in the first round.
Should we expect Round 2 to follow the same path? All four series certainly look competitive on
paper, although top seeds Miami and San Antonio are both significant favorites
to knock off Brooklyn and Portland respectively. The series prices for Washington – Indiana and
LA Clippers – Oklahoma City are certainly indicative of tight battles to
come. In this week's Vegas Wiseguy Report
I'll examine each series, looking for matchup edges that could offer ATS value
as the series progress.
Indiana was lucky to survive their first round test against Atlanta. The Hawks gave away Game 4 at home down the stretch,
then did the exact same thing in Game 6; suffering a major meltdown over the
final three minutes of the game. That
being said, the Pacers finished the series with a winning ATS mark over the seven
games along with a significant confidence/momentum boost fr... [More]
Seven of the eight first round NBA Playoff series have
proven to be competitive – only the Miami Heat have a commanding 3-0 series
lead in their series over the Charlotte Bobcats. After
an opening weekend that saw underdogs go 6-2 ATS, 5-3 SU, the prevailing trend
of upsets continued throughout the last week.
The current numbers are quite striking. Pointspread favorites are a woeful 7-21-2 ATS
through the first 30 playoff games. In
fact the favored team is just 14-16 SU – underdog moneyline bettors have been
feasting over the first nine days of playoff action. Therefore, it's no surprise that the lower
seeded team has the series lead in the Spurs – Mavs, Wizards –Bulls and Blazers
– Rockets series, with potentially 'live' underdogs still in play for Memphis –
OKC, Golden State – LA Clippers, Brooklyn - Toronto and Atlanta – Indiana.
What gives? Why have
the dogs covered at a 75% clip through the first 30 Playoff games? Let's start with the simple premise that the
top seeds are more vulnerable than the markets expected while the lower seeds
have proven to be no pushovers.
The #1 seeds (Pacers and Spurs) have combined to go 2-5 ATS
against the #8 seeds (Hawks and Mavs), even after the Pacers gutted out a tight
half point cover in their three point win at Atlanta in Game 4. Indiana's second half point... [More]
There were eight opening round NBA Playoff Series that started
this past weekend. The lower seeded road
teams – all underdogs in Game 1 – went 6-2 ATS, including five outright upset
winners. There were four games that flew
Over the total, three that stayed Under and one (Miami – Charlotte) that
finished right in between the opening and closing total.
This is just the start of a two month NBA Playoff marathon,
and these Game 1's may not be indicative of how these opening round series are
likely to play out. Here are some key 'Notes
and Quotes' for each series following those Game 1's.
Miami looked sluggish and lethargic for extended stretches
of their opener against Charlotte, but took over the game with an 18-4 run in the
fourth quarter when LeBron James was sitting on the bench. Head coach Erik Spoelstra: "We were flat to start. I think our guys were
just anxious." LeBron: "That group
that was in once I took that break at the 10-minute mark in the fourth quarter,
they just bumped the lead. Obviously, to have three Hall of Famers in the game
when I'm out of the game, CB, D-Wade and Ray ... that was big-time." Meanwhile, Bobcats leading scorer and
rebounder Al Jefferson was in a walking boot after the game. His quote?
"Just got to suck it up, man."
The veteran Chicago Bulls led the inexperienced Washingto... [More]
We're two weeks into the marathon baseball season, but there
hasn't been a lot that stands out thusfar in the standings. The Milwaukee Brewers are riding a nine game
winning streak into the new week, a 'surprise' team with the best current
record in baseball. And the defending
World Series champs, the Boston Red Sox, have slumped out of the gate, sitting
in last place in the AL East.
Frankly, we should expect these sorts of anomalies in early
season play – in fact we should expect more of them than we've seen thusfar. But there's not much we can expect to
accomplish from riding hot teams out of the gate and fading
underachievers. Based on two weeks worth
of results, I wouldn't recommend betting on the Brewers or against the Red Sox
on a daily basis moving forward. A hot
or cold start is not necessarily a 'leading indicator' for a hot or cold
But MLB totals are a very different story. I've written several previous articles about
why I look to bet MLB totals – particularly Overs – all summer long. To summarize three key points from those
previous articles, the betting markets don't notice streaks of Overs or Unders
at anywhere near the level that the markets notice wins and losses, making
streaks easier to 'ride' without laying a hefty price.
Secondly, Overs beget Overs and Unders beget Unders.&n... [More]
The Indiana Pacers have been a remarkable pointspread story
this year, worthy of a 'Wiseguy Report' to examine in detail what has happened
and why. To be thorough, this story
starts last year when the Pacers flexed their collective muscles, developing
into a title contender for the first time in a decade.
Indiana was good, not great, in the 2012-13 regular
season. They won 49 games, tied for the
third best record in the (much) weaker of the two conferences. Here's an excerpt of what I wrote about the
Pacers heading into the playoffs last year:
"A month ago, I would
have listed the Pacers as Miami's toughest Eastern Conference potential
test. Indiana's defensive numbers rank
among the best in the NBA, and low post behemoth Roy Hibbert is a very tough
matchup for the Heat in the paint.
Indiana beat Miami twice during the regular season, and the Pacers were
the last team to give the Heat real trouble in the playoffs last year, taking a
2-1 series lead in the Eastern Conference semi's before the Heat closed out the
series with three straight wins.
But the Pacers have
not played well down the stretch; struggling to find offensive production
during crunch time of close games. Can
the George Hill/Lance Stephenson/Paul George trio really hang with LeBron and
Dwayne Wade for seven games? And with
aging powe... [More]
You'll be reading more than enough about the Final Four in
the week to come. You'll be able to find
my initial take on the two games in my ESPN.com piece, midweek. So I'm going to focus on the NBA in this
week's Wiseguy Report, picking up right where I left off last week, when I
broke down a handful of Eastern Conference 'morphers'.
It's worth noting that since I wrote that article, blindly
supporting the three 'bet-on' teams that I mentioned (Cleveland, Philadelphia
and Brooklyn) while fading my one 'bet-against' squad (Indiana) has produced a
10-5 ATS result. Hopefully this edition,
focusing on Western Conference 'morphers', will produce similar short term
The San Antonio Spurs
success can't be a surprise to any breathing human. No team in the league has been more
consistent over the past decade and a half, and San Antonio came one brutal overtime
loss short of winning the NBA Championship last June. But the Spurs have been routinely
disrespected in the markets this year.
They were priced appropriately to start the season, going
16-4 SU in their first twenty games, yet finishing .500 ATS. But the markets did not like the fact that
San Antonio struggled against other top teams over the first half of the
season. The Spurs were positively dominated by the quintet of Houston, the LA
Clippers, India... [More]
While the betting markets focus on post-season college
basketball tournaments and the upcoming baseball season, the long and winding
NBA campaign still offers plenty of wagering opportunities down the homestretch.
There are still 3 ½ weeks left in the regular season. Most squads have between 12 and 14 games
remaining. And very quietly, underneath the
radar, we've seen a handful of late season 'morphers'; teams playing well above
or well below their full season power rating numbers. Those are the teams I'm looking to focus on
in this week's Vegas Wiseguy Report, particularly in the Eastern Conference.
The Philadelphia
76ers have lost 24 games in a row as I write this very early on Monday
morning. This is no surprise – the Sixers
have been openly tanking since last summer, playing for ping-pong balls, not
victories. And for the better part of
the first four months of the campaign, the sportsbooks couldn't hang a line
high enough to get bettors to support this completely anonymous, sorry
Philly hasn't gotten any better in recent weeks. But their opponents aren't giving maximum
effort when they face the Sixers either, knowing that Brett Brown's squad isn't
capable of giving them a legitimate challenge.
The likes of Utah (-7), Milwaukee (-3), Orlando (-4) and Sacramento (-9.5)
have all been favored ... [More]
We've got brackets to break down! I'll offer a quick take on the 28 matchups
already set for Thursday and Friday.
Games are listed in rotation order.
The A-10 got a handful of mediocre teams like Dayton into the NCAA Tournament mix,
but the Flyers will certainly be looking forward to a matchup against an Ohio State team that has repeatedly
avoided them in non-conference play. The
Buckeyes enter the tourney on an 0-6 ATS run; just 4-11 ATS in their last 15
tries as chalk.
Syracuse, too,
was a pointspread disaster area down the stretch, cashing only one winning bet
in their last eight ballgames. But Western Michigan's only win against an NCAA Tournament team came on the
opening night of the season, back on November 8th, when they beat
New Mexico State.
Phil Martelli's St
Joseph's team hasn't won an NCAA Tournament game since 2004, when Jameer
Nelson and Delonte West were his starting guards. UConn
is a Top 10 team for free throw shooting percentage; always key in this 'short
favorite' pointspread range.
Villanova went
21-9 ATS this season, the third best pointspread team in the tournament field –
only Wichita State and Tulsa had better spread records. Wisconsin-Milwaukee
earned their Big Dance bid the hard way, winning SU on the road at Green Bay
and then at Wright State in the Horizon League ... [More]
The Big Dance gets all the headlines; all the media
attention. And it makes sense why that
happens. College basketball is way too
big for the average fan. More than 350
teams in more than 30 conferences are simply too much for non-hardcore hoops aficionados
to handle.
And then there's the bracket factor. The entire country fills out brackets. They're easy to fill out, the seedings make
sense to Joe Public, and after the first round, most of the 'obscure' teams are
gone. Those 'obscure' teams that survive
are now public darlings, Cinderalla stories that casual fans can understand and
Forget fans – I'm no 'casual fan', and if you're reading
this, you probably aren't either. We're sports
bettors. And for serious college
basketball bettors, there's absolutely no comparison between this week and next
week. This week, we've got dozens of 'Little
Dances', the conference tournaments that are a sports bettors dream. Next week, for the Big Dance, it's still a
betting bonanza, but not quite as good.
Here are my Top 6 reasons why.
More Games
The Big Dance, start to finish, consists of 67 games. Once the opening weekend is done and we've
got a three day break before the Sweet 16, only 15 NCAA Tournament games still
remain. Serious bettors always want more

In Part 1 of
this article last week, I took a basic look at the profile of the past 16 NCAA
champions. From that profile, I was able to make a 'short list' of
potential champs in 2014, consisting of the following 18 teams: Cincinnati, Louisville, Virginia, Syracuse,
Duke, North Carolina, Kansas, Iowa St, Creighton, Villanova, Michigan, Michigan
State, Wisconsin, Iowa, Arizona, UCLA, Florida and Kentucky.
since last week, two of those 18 teams have been bounced from consideration,
including one of the co- favorites at any sportsbook in Vegas – John Calipari's
Kentucky Wildcats. Kentucky lost two
straight last week; Iowa has lost three of their last four. Both teams are now above the seven loss
cut-off line and can be eliminated.
next step in the elimination process is to look at the team's records away from
The NCAA
championship is not won on a team's home floor. Even with a favorable
location one weekend, a team is still going to have to win four 'neutral site'
games in order to cut down the nets in Arlington on April 7th. And the
best predictive evidence that I've seen for future success in neutral or
hostile environments is previous success is neutral or hostile environments.
In most
years, we'll find a sub .500 road record or two among the list... [More]
Who Has What It Takes to Win the Big Dance in 2014?
Part 1
History shows us many things about what it takes to be a champion. I write this article every year, and every year except for one, I have been able to identify the eventual NCAA national champion among my elite level teams.
Last year was no exception. Here's what I wrote about Louisville in my 'Who Has What It Takes' article from 2013: "The Cardinals have star power, depth, experience and talent. They rebound, play defense and win games consistently away from home. Rick Pitino's squad meets all the criteria that has been effective at predicting past championship. Plain and simple, Louisville has what it takes to win it all." Louisville, of course, was the last team standing in the 68 team field last year, winning the national championship over Michigan.
Last week I wrote about the four best pointspread teams in the
country in college hoops this year – Cleveland State, Villanova, Wichita State
and Utah. Between the four, they
combined to go 7-1 ATS over the past week, continuing to cover spreads even
after doing so consistently for the past three months. In other words, the
markets still haven't caught up with these teams.
This week, I'm taking the opposite approach; examining the
very worst pointspread teams in all of college basketball. Why are they so bad against the spread? Will they continue to be money losers as
February rolls into March? And what statistical profile do these teams have in
common that will help us identify them as early as possible next year? Let's take a look!
I did a version of this column last year at this same time
(second week of February). At that time,
the single worst pointspread team in all of college basketball was Indiana-
Purdue Indianapolis, abbreviated IUPUI. This year, IUPUI isn't the single worst
pointspread team in college hoops only because they're tied with South Alabama
and LaSalle at the bottom of the ATS standings.
This isn't supposed to happen. In theory, the betting markets are going to
gradually de-value squads that aren't covering pointspreads, making it highly
unlikely that the same team can be an absolute bottom feed... [More]
The Super Bowl is in the rear view mirror after Sunday's huge
Seattle blowout, which can only mean one thing – college hoops is on center
stage for the next eight weeks. I've
been writing game previews for ESPN.com/Insider, but I've yet to write a true
'college basketball overview' column so far this season. It's time!
I'm going take a look at the four very best 'regular board' pointspread
teams in the country in this week's column. Elite level teams aren't necessarily
pointspread winners, and bottom feeders can cash ticket after ticket if the
betting markets set numbers that allow them to hang within the number as big
underdogs. And the very best pointspread
teams tend to be under-the-radar type squads, like the single best ATS team in
college hoops thusfar in the 2013-14 campaign.
Cleveland State
has a decent record, sitting in a second place tie in the Horizon League
standings with a 6-3 mark in conference; 15-9 SU overall. If the NCAA tournament started today, Gary
Waters' Vikings wouldn't even sniff an at-large bid – they'll need to win the
league tournament to go dancing next month.
And yet Cleveland State leads the nation with 16 pointspread covers in
21 lined games.
The Vikings showed us early that they were capable of
exceeding expectations, in large part thanks to their defensive effort. They faced ... [More]
It's Super Bowl time again;
the moral equivalent of Christmas Day for sportsbettors. Yet many of the professional full time
bettors that I know are rather disappointed with the proposition betting opportunities
this year – there's simply not much 'low hanging fruit'. The biggest and best sportsbooks (market
leaders both here in Vegas and offshore) have learned from previous
mistakes. Bad numbers do NOT abound in
Let me start with the game
itself. The Super Bowl itself has been
an underdog bettor's paradise in recent years. The Ravens won the Super Bowl last year as the
underdog, beating the favored 49ers. The
Giants won the year before as an underdog; knocking off the Patriots. In 2010, the Saints won straight up as a dog
over Peyton Manning and the Colts. In
2009, the Cardinals covered the spread in a tight loss to the Steelers. In 2008, the Giants beat the favored 18-0
Patriots outright. The only favorite to
win and cover in the last six Super Bowls was the Packers when they beat the
Steelers in 2011.
The underdog trend in the Super
Bowl goes back even further than that, with four consecutive dog covers from
2002 through 2005 (the Patriots beating the Rams in '02, the Bucs destroying
the Raiders in '03 and spread covering losses from the Panthers and Eagles against
the Patriots in '04 and '05). Laying
... [More]
On the one hand, the Super Bowl is 'just another game' for a
professional bettor. On the other hand,
the Super Bowl has two major differences.
First and foremost are the prop bets; quite literally hundreds of
wagering opportunities that allow bettors to wager from everything on the coin
toss and the length of the national anthem to whether Russell Wilson will throw
more touchdown passes than Manchester United will score goals on Super Bowl
Sunday. I'll write about those next
The other biggest difference between Super Bowls and 'other
games'? Simple – the Super Bowls stand
out in our memories; every one of them.
I've been in Vegas since the 1998 football season, and I can tell you
where I watched every Super Bowl, what the pointspread was and who covered. Thank
you in advance for indulging me a brief trip down memory lane.
My first Super Bowl in Las Vegas was when the Broncos faced
the Falcons as favorites of about a TD back in January 1999. I watched the game in the stadium seating at the
Imperial Palace racebook. My handicap
was simple, thinking Denver had a big edge having played in (and beaten) the
Packers in the Super Bowl the previous year.
I'm not sure it mattered after Falcons cornerback Eugene Robinson was
arrested for soliciting the night before the game; throwing Atlanta off their
game. The Broncos won and cover... [More]
Last week, I took an in-depth look at five of the biggest
moneymakers in the NBA through the first half of the season. This week I'm going to focus on the teams at
the other end of the spectrum – bottom feeders and disappointments. I'll break down the three biggest
money-losers of the season thusfar. And
I'll take a look at a 'morpher'; a team playing significantly worse than
current market projections.
I'll start with the three teams that can be collectively
called 'the hopeless trio'. It's hard to
make money betting on the very worst teams in any sport, and the NBA is
certainly no exception. And there's no
question who the very worst team in the NBA is this year, because they have
both the worst SU record in the league (7-29) and the worst pointspread mark
(12-24 ATS). That team? The Milwaukee
Bucks head coach Larry Drew has never coached a bottom
feeder before. He walked into a good
situation in Atlanta with the Hawks, who made the playoffs all three years that
he was coaching the team. Here in Milwaukee,
the playoffs seem light years away, as Drew muddles through a lost season with
a mismashed roster of cast-offs, has beens and 'never will be's.
The Bucks single biggest problem is that they can't find the
bottom of the basket, ranked dead last in the NBA in offensive efficiency. ... [More]
The NBA regular season is less than two weeks away from the mid-way
point of the campaign. But with the focus on football, the betting markets (and
my own writing) have paid scant attention to the pro hoops ranks. That ends here.
This week I'm going to focus on the good NBA teams; the moneymakers! I'll break down some of the best money
earners in NBA thusfar and assess their profit making potential moving
forward. And I'll take a look at a pair
of 'morphers'; teams that are playing significantly better than current market
The Phoenix Suns
are at the top of any 'moneymaker' list; a classic example of how preseason
expectations can affect ATS results for months, even when those expectations
were clearly not right from Day 1 of the season!
Phoenix was lined in the range of 20 wins coming into the season. The markets expected a major tank from first
year, first time head coach Jeff Hornacek's squad, angling for ping pong balls
in the NBA lottery, not for a playoff spot.
But that clearly wasn't the case, right from the get-go – they blew out
Portland on opening night.
The Suns got great play from their dual- point guards Eric
Bledsoe and Goran Dragic. They got some
low post defense and rebounding from second year center Miles Plumlee, with
lottery pick Alex Len a complete non-factor.&nb... [More]
I wrote an article in this space prior to bowl season detailing
my personal strategies for turning a profit during these three weeks of high
stakes affairs. But as I do my research
for the upcoming games, I continue to find a bevy of outdated information
widely available on the internet; strategies that haven't worked in years, yet they've
become a part of the gambling lexicon.
I did a national radio spot last week with a well-known
host. He brought up three strategies as
the 'sharp Vegas method'. None of them
work. In fact, none of them have worked
in years. I don't think the host was an idiot – there's just a bevy of bad
information out there!
So my goal for this week's column is to poke holes in the
outdated information. The betting
markets are not a static entity; always morphing and evolving. What worked five, ten or twenty years ago
doesn't necessarily work as 2013 shifts to 2014. And when it comes to college football bowls,
the paradigm has clearly shifted from where it was a decade ago.
As I write this very early on Monday morning, there have
been 15 bowl games already played, with 20 more to follow. Even from this very short sample size, you
can see already that these three 'tried and true' strategies from years past
have bitten the dust – exactly what happened last year, and the year before

Wednesday, July 3, 2013
Berkeley County Republican Party Chairman Terry Hardesty has filed a federal lawsuit against school board chairman Kent Murray.
Goings Law Firm announced the suit in a release to the media the afternoon of June 27. Republican activists Linda Riney and Nancy Corbin joined Hardesty in filing the suit.
According to the release, the suit is being filed because of violations "of First and Fourteenth Amendment rights.
"This action comes after Kent Murray … unilaterally changed a policy to prevent citizens from criticizing (the school board's) handling of the ethics violations … and gaveled Hardesty down for speaking on issues of great public importance," the release said.
The school district's role in the recent Yes4Schools campaign in favor of a county-wide bond referendum is currently under investigation by SLED.
"I did not want to file this lawsuit, and I personally and publicly asked the Chairman to reconsider his ill-advised decision to prevent public debate and criticism, but I believe the First Amendment is one of our great American values and checks on government, and must be absolutely safeguarded," Hardesty said.
On Friday afternoon Murray said he had not yet reviewed the complaint and therefore could not comment.
"When the school district receives a lawsuit we consult with attorneys," Murray said. "I consult with the attorneys and they advise us how to handle it."
The district is being represented by the law firm Childs and Halligan.
Hardesty said the events after the June 25 school board meeting left him with no choice but to file a complaint.
"They didn't change their policy," Hardesty said. "I sent a letter to Dr. Murray and the entire board suggesting very strongly that they should reverse their course on not allowing people to speak.
"It's a very serious thing to try to shut people up when they're complaining about their government. Whether they like to hear it not, it's a right. I strongly suggested they ought to cease doing that . . . they had a very proper opportunity to think about what they were doing, discuss it with their attorneys and change course. They did not."
Hardesty said he was threatened at the meeting during the public comments portion.
"We're not going to stop you from speaking but you're personally responsible," he said, quoting what Murray said to him. "I saw no other course of action than file a lawsuit and let the courts figure it out.
"To me they changed tactics. Instead of stopping you from speaking we'll just threaten you. If we can't use the law properly as it stands up front we'll just intimidate you. This is extremely stressful for me. Here I am being forced to sue a former colleague for the taxpayers.
"They ought to be focused on educating kids, not trying to cover their behinds."

Oklahoma City gun dealers said there has been a sharp spike in sales of guns during the past two months.
Gun vendors said some customers are worried about tighter gun regulations, while others want to be armed against people who commit mass shootings.
Some vendors said sales were high before the Newtown shootings, and talk of stricter gun restrictions since has driven up the demand even more.

Never mind the scorching heat blanketing Atlantic City on this Saturday night.
The real inferno was inside the Tropicana Casino's Planet Rose.
Strippers were grinding, pumping, and pounding to the pulsating music. Bottles of booze were being guzzled, as dollar bills were stuffed into waistbands. Whistling and whooping, the crowd was on fire.
A bunch of guffawing guys having their way?
Hardly. Just girls gone wild, getting down-and-dirty, and lusting after the men in the SavageMania exotic male dancer show.
Judging from the scene, it's hard to imagine that demand for male stripping has been shrinking during the last decade. While the guys haven't been reduced to living off the bare necessities, in a manner of speaking, the industry has been losing some of its popularity, mostly driven by a shaky economy.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- If a tie is like kissing your sister, what must Friday night's 3-2 shootout loss to Ohio State feel like for Western Michigan?
Kissing your step-sister?
"I don't know whether to view this one as a loss or a tie," coach Jim Culhane said.
"That's something everyone in this conference is trying to get their hands around."
John Albert's goal in the fifth round of the shootout gave No. 12 Ohio State its 12th win in its past 13 games. The Buckeyes (16-6-3, 9-5-3-3) are unbeaten during that span. The CCHA, like the NHL, gives two points to the winner of a shootout loss and one to the loser. The game will be reflected as a tie in both teams' records. Western Michigan drops to 6-13-6 overall and 3-9-5-1 in the league.
"We treat it as a tie, but we think of it as a loss," said forward Patrick Galivan, who scored a goal and had an assist. "We think of it as a loss so we're able to motivate ourselves to reach our goal of getting at least three out of four points here this weekend."
The Broncos did not play like one of the league's last-place teams on the road. In a season when they've tied at No. 2 Notre Dame and at No. 11 Michigan State and won at No. 8 Michigan, WMU fought back twice to keep Ohio State from winning in regulation.
Riley Gill was superb in the game's final 64 minutes and 37 seconds. He made a season-high 35 saves after allowing a goal on the game's first shot.
"He definitely was big for us," Galivan said. "Especially in the second half of the game when Ohio State really took over."
WMU was outshot 37-21.
Ohio State controlled the ice during the middle part of the second period and finally capitalized, taking its second lead of the night when Hunter Bishop fed Ian Boots, who found the back of the net with a wrister from inside the left circle.
The Broncos responded quickly. Less than a minute later, defenseman Chris Frank created a turnover at mid-ice and passed to Galivan. The senior then froze Ohio State goalie Dustin Carlson on a breakaway and scored to tie the game at 2.
Coming into the game, WMU had the league's worst penalty-killing unit. They didn't break on Friday, but failed in six power-play opportunities. Both teams combined to go 0-10 on the power play.
"I wouldn't say I'm frustrated with our power play," Culhane said. "We created scoring chances, but we just didn't score. A team's best penalty killer is its goalie, and both of those guys tonight were terrific."
Ohio State took the lead before most of the 4,521 fans in Value City Arena found their seats.
Just 23 seconds into the game, Corey Toy fired a twice-deflected shot from the right point that ricochetted off the stick of Patrick Schafer to give Ohio State a 1-0 lead.
Greg Squires picked up his fourth goal of the season about six minutes later beating Carlson from the crest of the goal-mouth with a wraparound effort that carromed off his skate.
Albert's goal in the fifth round gave Ohio State its third shootout win this season.
"(Gill) is a big goal so we know we have to get him moving from side to side," Albert said. "That's what I was able to do."

Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell, who celebrated their first wedding anniversary July 14, are not expecting a baby – yet!
"We're trying to get pregnant," the actor told PEOPLE Saturday at the Playboy Mansion, where he stepped out for Much Love Animal Rescue's 2nd annual Bow Wow Wow event in Los Angeles. "It would be amazing if it happened. I hope it does."
O'Connell, who says trying to get pregnant is "a lot of fun," brought along the couple's dogs Taco and Better who he called "our babies."
"It's just such a great feeling you get when you rescue an animal," he said. "They're eternally grateful and they really trust you and they're just the best."
Besides, he said, "Pets are training for kids."
Though the couple spent their first wedding anniversary apart – she was in New York and he was in L.A. – O'Connell says their time apart may actually help their relationship.
"Being apart, you want to make the most of your time together," he says. "And we really have a lot of fun together."
