YESTERDAY'S PLAYS
PICKS IN PROGRESS
Chicago’s after a 3-2 road trip prepares to play their 5th home game of the season tonight against visiting Detroit. The Blackhawks are 0-3 as the home underdog this season and now on tired legs and still getting acclimated to home cooking Im betting the away fav has the advantage . Last season, Chicago was 12-24 as the home underdog. Rinse and repeat . Motown has won their L/2 visits to Chicago and get my backing in this spot play situation.
Play on Red Wings to win
My early season head to head power rankings projections estimate a combined score in the high 130s which gives us a significant edge to the under on this totals offering.Vermonts hoops program , ranks 278th in low possessions per game each of the last eight seasons and slowed down UAB in their first game of the season allowing just 62 points . Auburn is off a season where they were 10th in points allowed on a per-possession basis last season. Im expecting a grinding affair, here with the points failing to be eclipsed.
Play under
Virginia will be without HC Tony Bennett on the sidelines, as the three-time National Coach of the Year and the program's all-time winningest head coach announced his retirement on October 18th after 15 seasons coaching UVA. The type of slow paced hoops Virginia has liked to play in the past will remain a staple of the program as new HC Ron Sanchez when he last coached at Charlotte during the 2022-23 season, saw his team rank 361st out of 363 teams in total possessions per game. Under this kind of scheme, covering a DD points spread in the high teens is not an easy proposition, especially considering all the new faces in this lineup that need to get acclimated to playing together within this slow down system.
Campbell to cover
Detroit Pistons are on the hunt for their third straight victory tonight against against their hosts the Charlotte Hornets. The Pistons are currently playing with alot of confidence, after a 115-103 home win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night. I know Charlotte may not be as bad some of their early season results, but maybe still over rated, and here against the under rated Pistons could find themselves on the short end of the proverbial stick once again when the final buzzer sounds. Im betting the guard duo of Ivey and Cade Cunningham lead the way here in get Motowns 4th straight SU victory in this series dating back to last season. NBA teams with a money line of +135 to -155 - off an upset win by 10 points or more as a home underdog against opponent off a road blowout loss of 20 points or more are 24-5 since the 1997 season.Charlotte as a home favorite are 0-6 ATS L/6 overall.Charlotte on the money line at home with a money line of +135 to -155 are 2-11 dating back to the 2023 season.

Perspective on Sports Betting as an Investment
Many draw parallels between the unpredictability in sports betting and the stock market, attributing streaks of performance to mere chance. However, both realms present significant variables that, when understood, can offer an investor an edge. With diligent research and a comprehensive understanding of the facts, long-term profitability is achievable.
In his view, sports betting offers an edge over traditional stock markets. In sports betting, the investor retains greater control over their funds, with the flexibility to take breaks without fearing unforeseen losses. Conversely, traditional markets expose investments like 401Ks to the whims of a volatile marketplace, often accompanied by exorbitant broker fees. While profiting consistently from sports betting is challenging, those who succeed often enjoy returns surpassing those of market investors. This philosophy underpins every wager he places, and he approaches his portfolio with utmost seriousness.
Money Management for Gamblers to Follow
Achieving success in sports betting requires a long-term vision. Before embarking on this journey, it’s crucial to establish a robust bankroll. Conservative bettors might allocate 1-2% of their bankroll per game, reserving up to 3% for the most promising bets. While this may seem modest, it ensures sustainability in the unpredictable world of sports betting.
Here are some guidelines he advocates for:
- Seek the most favorable betting lines from trustworthy sources.
- Maintain discipline; avoid deviating from the advised bankroll allocation for individual bets. Chasing losses is counterproductive.
- Recognize that your bankroll is vital. Treat it with the same care as funds allocated for a business venture.
- Consider buying off the hook on pivotal numbers.
- Grasp the significance and technique of middling.
- Maintain a detailed record of all bets and outcomes, incorporating them into your overarching statistical database.
In your pursuit of long-term gains, these factors are pivotal. As the late Jimmy the Greek wisely noted, “The house doesn’t beat the player; it merely provides him the chance to defeat himself.”
