Hi Guy's, Hope all's good. It's VR again. Just a recap, in my opinion Dayton did just we figured. Like one of you guy's wrote after the completion of the game, NEVER IN DOUBT ! Thats an awsome feeling.
As I wrote I went ot the UNLV, "WOW" that was ugly. I'm thankful I never placed a wager on that, BYU played great. Not only shooting the ball but defensively they took the Rebels right out of there offense, when the game started I never heard the "Thomas&Mack Center as loud. Two minutes into the 2nd half the peoples were running for the Exit signs.
Ok enough, on to Thursday were heading to the PAC-10. Stanford @ Arizona State.
Stanford is pretty good, they have some decent talent. Very young, very talented, very good recruiting class this year and coming in. But on the road this is a diiferent basketball team. There 0-2 in conference on the road, they shoot horrible on the road and they turn the ball over something crazy. Hopefully Arizona State takes full advantage of this. ASU guard Trent Lockett hasn't played in the past conference games because of an ankle injury but tonite he's not starting but is coming in off the bench, Trent is the straw that mixes the drink !
Arizona State -5
41-14 ats
Just one play tonight guy's, in my opinion todays card just isn't pretty at all. Also there's NO-PLAY for Friday. Saturday hopefully there's two.
Good luck tonight to all.

1.5.2011 Wednesday CBB, 40-14 ats "A-10 Hoop's" !
Hi guy's, hope all's good. It's VR again ! After taking a night off and watching 6 college basketball games, I'm looking forward to tonight. Place one wager and I'm going to "The Thomas & Mack Center" to see BYU and UNLV. It should be a great game, for those who want a second wager I broke this game down and I do believe I've got the winner.
On to tonight, Dayton @ St.Louis. After watching games of both these teams today, in my opinion this wager is a no-brainer ! Dayton is playing great right now and St.Louis is playing awful, to make thing's worst for STL there two best players are out and will not play. The Billikens have been rocked by the suspensions of Kwanain Mitchell and Willie Reed, for those who don't know there being charged with "Alleged" Sexual Assault. Now the entire team is paying for this and there having an awful season to this point. Dayton is riding a Five game winning streak, STL is in the middle of a Three game losing streak.
STL is a defensive minded squad, they have to be because they can't score. Not One Player is avg. Double Figures. There last gameVS lonely Bowling Green, St.Louis shot 37%. Dayton shots 40% from 3. St. Louis has been getting killed on the boards, for the season the avg. minus-4.5, Dayton size is a huge problen for STL. On paper the difference between the two teams rebounding 41 to 27 Dayton. That should add up to some points for us ! Big Time !
Dayton is 7-2 ats, St.Louis is 1-8 ats.
I could go on, and on, all day with these stats, bottom line Dayton has huge advantage. They must get it done, huge conference gasme for them.
Dayton +2
If I didn't lose the other night and if I was on a winning streak, I would also play the Money Line. I'm not because of the last wager.
Guy's I'm going to be on for just a bit longer because as I said I'm going to the UNLV game.
Good luck tonight and lets get this rolling again.

1.4.2011 CBB, "Tale Of Unbeatens"
Duke (13-0)
Impressive victories: Kansas State, 82-68; Michigan State, 84-79; Butler, 82-70.
Comment: The Blue Devils are a better team than last year when they won the national championship. They are more balanced and have more depth. That has shown even more as Duke has rolled along undefeated even after freshman sensation Kyrie Irving was injured. The ACC isn’t as strong as usual. Duke will be challenged, but it’s possible the Blue Devils will remain undefeated deep into the season. A poor shooting night on the road could spell trouble for Coach K’s team. Somebody will catch them. But who?
Projected first loss: Feb 2 @ Maryland
San Diego State (15-0)
Impressive victories: Gonzaga, 79-76; Wichita State 83-69; Cal 77-57.
Comment: Steve Fisher’s team isn’t a huge surprise. There were questions about depth, but not talent. The biggest problem for the Aztecs is timing because the Mountain West is so impressive this season, with BYU, UNLV, New Mexico and Colorado State off to very good starts. There will be nightly dogfights in this conference and multiple bids to the NCAA tournament. The Aztecs are good but they can’t escape the Mountain West undefeated.
Projected first loss: Jan. 26 at BYU
UCF (13-0)
Impressive victories: Florida, 57-54; Miami 84-78
Comment: When you think of Conference-USA, you obviously think of Memphis. But it UCF that is crawling into the national consciousness — and the rankings — with some surprising victories and a kid named M. Jordan. That’s Marcus. (Former) Memphis Commercial-Appeal columnist Dan Wolken tweeted earlier this month that “if UCF ends up 9-7 in the league I won’t be surprised. That’s not a great roster.” We will see, won’t we?
Projected first loss: Jan. 15 at Southern Miss.
Syracuse (15-0)
Impressive victories: Michigan State, 72-58; Drexel, 93-65; Notre Dame, 70-58
Comment: The Orange has taken care of business, despite the fact coach Jim Boeheim still isn’t pleased with the offensive execution of his players. Syracuse always plays tough defense and Big East teams have to adjust to Boeheim’s zone philosophy. That’s never easy. Kris Joseph and Rick Jackson are the steady performers here. When Boeheim’s freshmen start picking up their offensive production, Syracuse could become a dominant squad in the Big East. This could be a very dangerous team come March.
Projected first loss: Jan. 17 at Pittsburgh.
Kansas (13-0)
Impressive victories: Arizona, 87-79; UCLA, 77-76; Memphis, 81-68.
Comment: Coach Bill Self says Josh Selby is ready to start. That must have been a tough decision. The Jayhawks will be a better team with the skilled freshman on the floor. He can play with the ball in his hands or off the ball and that makes the KU backcourt very dangerous. Marcus Morris has to play smart and be a better leader. He didn’t do that at Cal, but the Jayhawks still pulled away and won on the road. The key to the Jayhawks is their continued unselfish play. Kansas doesn’t start Big 12 play until Jan. 12, but the Jayhawks are the best team in their conference again.
Projected first loss: Jan. 17 at Baylor.
Cincinnati (14-0)
Impressive victories: Dayton, 68-34; Oklahoma, 66-56.
Comment: It’s a stretch to say those two wins were impressive. Dayton is 10-3 and the Bearcats won big. Oklahoma is a big-time program from the Big 12, but the Sooners (6-6) are way, way down this season. The truth is the Bearcats have played one of the worst schedules in the country. Give Cincinnati credit for taking care of business and remaining undefeated to this point. But the chili won’t stay hot for the Bearcats much longer.
Projected first loss: Jan. 6 vs. Xavier. (If not then, certainly Jan 9 at Villanova).
Ohio State (14-0)
Impressive victories: Florida, 93-75; Florida State, 58-44, Oakland, 92-63.
Comment: Jared Sullinger has taken the Buckeyes to another level. As long as Sullinger and David Lighty stay healthy, Ohio State will be the team to beat in the Big Ten. Not many thought that would be the case when the season started, but the Buckeyes have been solid and Michigan State has struggled — against a tougher schedule. Tom Izzo’s team cannot be written off and the Big Ten remains strong. But Ohio State looks like a Final Four team right now.
Projected first loss: Jan. 22 at Illinois.
Impressive victories: Kansas State, 82-68; Michigan State, 84-79; Butler, 82-70.

1.3.2011 Monday CBB, 40-13 ats "RAMS @ GATORS"
Hi everyone, it's VR again ! It's Monday start of a new week, and I've got the perfect match-up to keep this thing rolling ! Looking back for a minute, hitting over 75% winners is nice. Just in case you forgot here are some pretty nice numbers,
40-13 ats overall,
22-3 ats last 25 wagers
8-0 ats last week
But in this business, it's what have you done today ! So here we go,
Rhode Island at Florida, the line is around 11.
Rhode Island +11 will be my play. In my opinion this URI team shoud and will give the Gators fits in the paint. The Rams are very long, and very Athletic. Rhode Islands Delroy James is preseason player of the year for the A-10, if this kid played for a BCS School all college basketball fans would know this kids name. He will be the BEST player on the court tonight ! URI was an Double-Digit underdog just once this season, Nov. 10th @ Pittsburgh. Rhode Island lost the game but covered the spread, your's truely cashed a ticket that night.
Rhode Island has four players scoring in Double Digits nightly, and with the Gators sputtering offense most of the time I feel Rhode Island will put the heat on Florida.
Also the Gators Center Vernon Macklin injured his shoulder this past saturday at Xavier, he missed the entire 2nd half and him starting and getting minutes is up in the air !
Rhode Island +11
Good luck tonight !

1.2.2011 Sunday CBB, 39-13 ats " BIG TEN BATTLE"
Hi guy's it VR again. Hope alls well. It's sunday and I'd love to close out this great week ( 6-0 ats ) with a chance of a winner. Were like 21-3 ats last 24 wager's, hard work / love of the game is my formula.
Today, Sunday has some nice valued games in my opinion.
Before we get into the pick, I'd would like to mention that at 7:45 pm est Miami,Fl. is playing Duke at Camron Indoor Stadium and the game is being shown nationally on FOX SPORTS NETWORK. Tim Brando and "The G-man Mike Gemeski are your broadcasters, if you able to view the contest that would be great. Ratings, Ratings and Ratings ! They need them.
Ok, I really like Illinoins at home today VS Wisconsin. The point spread is in our favor -2 at the time of this writing with the Las Vegas Hilton. I'm placing a wager with Wisconsin minus the two points. Offensively Illinois has a huge edge, 77.2 ppg, there last three games there average is 87 ppg. 42% from 3 leads the Big Ten, in there last game at one point they 7 straight. In my opinion no-one on Wisconsin roster can cover, guard Demetri McCamey ( Illinois guard ) he's scoring 17 a game, 10 assists, he's just warming up.
Illinois being the home team is a giant edge, also for me breaking down games. The "Eye-Ball-Test", I just finished watching game film from both teams, Illinois playing at home and Wisconsin on the road. I'm not going to say Illinois is so much better, but Illinois is alot better at home than Wisconsin is on the road, if that makes sence. So Illinois is my play at -2, also Illinois -130 ( money line ) is also great. -130 isn't much juice for an 11-3 team at home, thats how you must look at that number, not just the -130.
Illinois -2
Illinois -130
Good luck guy's, just one play today. Monday, tommorrow huge play coming with Georgetown vs. St. Johns at Madison Square Garden. The Johnnies are playing great.

1.1.2011 Saturday, HAPPY NEW YEAR ! 37-13 ats SHOCKERS @ Braves
Happy New Year To All ! Hi it's VR again. Hope all had a safe and fun New Years Eve. There's 22 lined games for New Years Day, but in my opinion there's just a few that stand out to me. Once Monday arrives and the holidays are just a memory we will be knee deep in some great action. Yesterday was another great day with a victory, like I said once we get into next week I'll be playing 1-2 per day when it's possible.
Just a quick note, the West Virginia / Marquette 11:00 am est start was a play for me and it was posted at my blog. I finished capping very close to tip, so I didn't post it at the Forums. I'm glad some of you e-mailed me and got the play in for a nice early start of the day WINNER !
37-13 ats, things are going very nice as of now. I'm very happy alot of you are also winning, it's to bad we all speak on this computer and not in person. I speak to alot of you one on one and there's some great people on this site. After I complete posting, around 11:00 am PT I'm heading to my "SPOT" the Las Vegas Hilton and I'll be in the Sportsbook all day. There's a party there food, drink and watching sports on there 50 Giant tv's College Hoop's. I'll bet money I'm the only one watching hoops and the rest will be watching all the College Bowl games. Which I love, but Hoop's is my thing. I've got just one more play for today and it's a later tip. Also for those who don't know, many of you do. Sunday ACC college Hoops on Fox Sport Network is my favorite day of the week, tommorrow there's a TRIPLE-HEADER so we will be involved with that. The triple-header is as follows LSU @ UVA, MIAMI,FL. @ DUKE ( For those who heard of Tim Brando he's on CBS College Football Pregame, he will be calling the Duke, Miami game ) He is a very close friend of mine, I never, ever miss one of his games. He also has a Radio Show on Sporting News Radio and in the past during College Basketball Season I've done time slots. for those interested "PM" me and I can give info ! The final game of the triple-header is Arizona @ Oregon State. Have a great day guy's !
Wichita State -7
