Just did another 3-game teaser with Denver -1, New England +2 and New Orleans -1. $30 to win $25.

Keeping it small today due to my horrible swoon recently.

Good call. Canisius was actually winning basically the whole game. ND will be in some trouble come ACC play.

All I need for both of my teasers is New England to hold on and lose by no less than two. They're up 10 with 4 minutes left in the fourth. If they lose, I'll begin cutting.

Come on Patriots.

I got killed today but for shits and giggles I did a 13-team ML parlay and hit!

Too bad it was only a $6.50 wager...still, paid $62.71.

^Nice. Money Line or not, hitting 13 games is fucking hard.

Tried to connect on another teaser tonight after winning my first two today but the third time in this scenario did not turn out a charm. Had Oregon State -3 (vs. Quinnipiac) and Washington -6.5 (vs. Hartford) and Washington won by 6. Lorenzo Romar needs to be fired. The program has slipped far enough.

Anyone else got anything on the Navy game? So far, so good at -7 for the Midshipmen. Up 24 to 6 in the fourth quarter. Good start to the day. I love these early-day bowls this time of year.

Toledo is a 15-point dog at Kansas tonight, which makes the Rockets a very attractive teaser possibility at +23. The Rockets are 12-0 but I have yet to watch them in action to really get a good feel for how well they can compete against a team like the Jayhawks in Allen. I know Laley and others are really big on them. Looking forward to watching tonight.

Yeah I took the Midshipmen at -7 as well. I also took GT at +3. I'm staying away from the other games today although if I did bet on them I would be taking the favorites.

As for CBB I have 10 on- St Bonaventure -5.5, Portland -6.5, Fordham +2, Toledo +14.5, San Fran +15, LMU -4, BYU -6.5

Then 2 different $50 7 point teasers- BYU +.5, Portland +.5, LMU +3 and Toledo +21.5, San Fran +22, Fordham +9.

I would not bet Toledo to cover, unless you buy some points like rec is doing.

Toledo is 11-0, yes, but a Mac team getting 15 points in allen field house against a good ku team? Need more than that. It'll be a 20 pt game

I'm leaning more toward Kansas -7 on that teaser now, similarly to what I gave Duke versus Eastern Michigan on Saturday. The big difference obviously is that Eastern is a below average MAC team and Toledo appears to be the class -- or one of the top two teams -- of the conference. It's really hard to say, though, since I have yet to see Toledo play. I'm thinking more along your lines though of a 15 to 20-point Kansas win.

I like your teasers. I will probably do at least some combination of that and maybe an NBA as well.

Like you, I am avoiding the big bowls tonight.

Portland looking horrible so far. Back to the drawing board.

Oregon -6 was the pick. Texas is gonna get stomped. Not a surprise, but still didn't want to touch that one. The "playing for Mack Brown" story was a lingering thought in my mind.

Anyone having a good day?

I'm getting rocked. Did a couple of teasers and Portland fucked me in the first one and now Arizona State (-6) is fucking me in the second. Those are the only two games I'll lose. Might take a break for awhile if I don't hit on either my parlay or SU.

My parlay is:

LMU -4
Suns +7
Saint Mary's -3
Texas Tech +16

SU I have Saint Mary's -3.5

I had a teaser with Oregon football and Gonzaga that hit. And I had one with Toledo basketball and the Heat hit. Good night for me.

I didn't have a great day either went 3-6 in single bets but both my teasers failed and that was a big loss. I had Fordham, Portland, and BYU in the same teaser(which would have been great since all 3 of them lost) but switched Fordham and LMU in teasers at the last minute.

Toledo continues to be money for me. They have now won 10 bets for me covering the spread.

I agree with you about Oregon really figured they were the right call but just couldn't with it being Mack Brown's last game.

While I won my individual Toledo-Kansas bet (Kansas -7), I lost that teaser so it doesn't really matter. But after watching the Rockets, I am a believer and will be betting them when favorable moving forward. I've won on them only once so far (against Detroit).

I did hit on Saint Mary's last night SU so that really stemmed the flow of blood. Not necessarily the hallmark of a good day betting, but it was a step forward. I feel good about getting back today.

My first small teaser of the day (not that confident in it, but it's just for $20):

Duke -9.5
Princeton -0.5
Ohio State +2

I think Princeton and Ohio State could both lose.

Also going with $25 on UCLA -8 (against Va Tech) and then $10 on a two-game parlay with that and Arizona -7.5 (against BC).

A lot of stuff going on today in the sports world. New Year's Eve is great.

Wow, Portland is a five-point underdog today? Even at OKC, without Westbrook, that's a great tease at +13.
