UPDATE: Romney wins, Michigan State loses. The Lang Fade was the way to go as Wyoming covers in Laramie. The Fade is the way to go in the future.

I don't care what the touts have today. I am not going to do any research. I had a dream last night and I got to go with my gut. Good luck to you with whatever you bet!

MONDAY: 50 DIME WIN ON THE KANSAS JAYHAWKS - 9 1/2 VISITING THE OKLAHOMA STATE COWBOYS

UPDATE: The Jayhawks win and cover in Stillwater. As anonymous has pointed out in the comment section, every handicapper and his mother was on Oklahoma State. Lang and Indian Cowboy both had the Cowboys. Lang went 2-5 last week on his plays. I am fading Lang now every day for 5.5% of my bankroll and am going to follow him 5.5% of my bankroll on his rare 75 dime or higher plays. He has won the last seven of his big plays. The Lang Fade is what has made me money, so I am no longer making my own picks. I am probably the worst handicapper in the world. But I think I have a good betting strategy now. Good luck to you!

SUNDAY: 55 DIME LOSS ON THE OHIO STATE BUCKEYES - 9 1/2 AT HOME AGAINST THE WISCONSIN BADGERS

UPDATE: Ohio State loses outright at home to Wisconsin. I have to admit I am a total fraud, a terrible handicapper when it comes to picking my own games. Sure I have won a lot of money the past 3 1/2 months, but its been largely due to fading. So I am going back to that beginning tomorrow.

Remember, don't pick up women hitchhikers! 10-4.

Thoughts on the Lang Fade:

I know a lot of Faders have made adjustments since Mr. Lang has been winning his big plays. Some are just fading him for the same amount each day, instead of strictly following his dime amounts.

For those fading Mr. Lang straight units, or the same amount or dimes per day, or a set percentage of your bankroll: you had a great week. The Lang Fade went 5 - 2 on the week ending today. He seems to live for the big play; if you skipped his big play on Saturday, you went 5-1 on the week fading. Lang has won the last 7 bets of 75 dimes and over. For the time being, it might be a good idea to take the day off when he has a 75 dime play. No parlays, no teasers, just one bet at a time. The detailed Lang Fade record, shows the Fade can still be a gold mine.

Bottom line, Lang is still a terrible handicapper and you can still make money fading!

SATURDAY: 55 DIME LOSS ON THE MICHIGAN WOLVERINES - 6 AT HOME AGAINST THE PURDUE BOILERMAKERS

UPDATE: Michigan lost big.

11:50 AM SATURDAY UPDATE: What attracted me to this game was the -5 number on Michigan. Now the line has moved to -5 1/2 and -6 and even -6 1/2 offshore. The money is all going on Michigan, I did not anticipate such one sided betting. I will be grading this now at -6, shop around!

Today there are a lot of college basketball games to choose from. I got to go back to the well with the Michigan Wolverines today at home. Michigan has been good to me. It's Senior Night in Ann Arbor, emotions should be high.

Now pay attention, we are going to sing together, ok?, lol: "Tiny bubbles in the wine make me happy":

MONDAY: 55 DIME LOSS ON THE MARIST RED FOXES + 8 AT HOME AGAINST THE FAIRFIELD STAGS

UPDATE: Marist loses the game and does not cover.

----

Marist is 5-0 against the spread their last five games and they areplaying at home today. In four of those games, they actually won outright. Thats after an 8 game losing streak. The last meeting between Marist and Fairfield was January 29th in Bridgeport, Conn., that game was an 81-53 Fairfield blowout. But I will gladly take 8 or even 8 1/2 points today if I can find it on the Marist Red Foxes. The Fairfield Stags are are no slouch of a team now, but this game in Poughkeepsie will not be a blowout. The Red Foxes have won outright eight of their eleven home games. Marist is playing a lot better ball now.

Warning: Beware of female hitchikers! Never let anyone know you are carrying considerable cash. This from the Highway Patrol...



About Broderick Crawford, star of "Highway Patrol," from wiki: "Throughout his adult life, Crawford was prone to bouts of heavy alcohol consumption, and was known for eating large meals. These habits contributed to a serious weight gain for Crawford during the 1950s. His weight and penchant for heavy drinking contributed to several injuries suffered on the set of Highway Patrol, a TV series produced by ZIV Television Productions and based on the California Highway Patrol. It became particularly difficult for Crawford to do certain scenes, such as when he had to enter and exit a police helicopter. In 1958, Crawford broke his ankle while exiting the helicopter, and was forced to wear an ankle cast which may be seen in some episodes.

Crawford's heavy drinking increased during the filming of Highway Patrol, eventually resulting in several arrests and stops for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI), which eventually gained him a suspended driving license. While representing the California Highway Patrol as "Chief Matthews", Crawford was known with considerable embarrassment by the CHP as "Old 502" due to his habit of driving under the influence of alcohol ("Code 502" was the CHP police radio code for drunken driving). According to the show's creator, Guy Daniels, "We got all the dialogue in by noon, or else we wouldn't get it done at all. He [Crawford] would bribe people to bring him booze on the set." The show used their CHP technical advisor, Officer Frank Runyon, to keep the actor sober: "I was told to keep that son of a bitch away from a bottle. I think his license was suspended. Some scenes had to be shot on private roads so that Brod could drive." Eventually the drinking strained the show's relationship with the CHP and Crawford's relationship with ZIV.

Crawford married three times; he had two sons (Kelly and Kim) from his marriage to actress Kay Griffith. He died of a series of strokes in 1986 at the age of 74 in Rancho Mirage, California after years of hard living and drinking, which continued virtually unabated to the end of his life. One of his long term pals for such adventures was Lon Chaney, Jr. He has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, one for motion pictures at 6901 Hollywood Boulevard and another for television at 6734 Hollywood Boulevard."

Uncle Sky and Penny fly at the Air Races:



When things go bad at the Air Races, they can really go bad:



















RIP Sky King: Kirby Grant, who entertained millions as the star of the popular Sky King radio and television series, was killed in a traffic accident near Titusville, Florida on October 30, 1985 as he drove to view the launch of the space shuttle at Kennedy Space Center.

Mr. Grant, 73, was pronounced dead on arrival at Jess Parrish Memorial Hospital in Titusville less than an hour after the 8 a.m. accident on State Road 50 about four miles west of Titusville, Florida Highway Patrol Capt. Mike Kirby said.

Mr. Grant of 6038 Sheoah Blvd., Winter Springs, was driving in traffic on the two-lane road when he attempted to pass another automobile. The car pulled into his path and Mr. Grant swerved across the road and into a ditch to avoid it, Kirby said.

The impact flung Mr. Grant from the car into about three feet of standing water. A passing motorist, Roy Walters of Orlando, pulled the former televison hero out "almost immediately," but he could not be revived, Kirby said.

Kirby said state troopers have no information on the other vehicle involved in the accident and that an investigation is continuing. Mr. Grant was alone in his car.

An autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death, he said.

Arnold Richmond, chief of visitor services at the space center, said Mr. Grant had been invited by a friend to watch the shuttle launch from the VIP stands.

Mr. Grant starred in Sky King from 1951 to 1954, and the show appeared in reruns from 1959 to 1966. He played the lead role of Sky King, a good man who wore a cowboy hat, always did right and traveled about in a twin-engine airplane called Songbird. The show originated on radio, on which it was heard from 1946 to 1954, with a different set of actors supplying the voices.

Born Kirby Grant Hoon Jr. in Butte, Mont., on Nov. 24, 1911, Grant first made his acting reputation in film in the late 1930s.

Before playing Sky King, he played leads in low-budget Westerns and other action pictures, often as a Canadian Mountie in such movies as Trail of The Yukon, Call of the Klondike, Northwest Territory, Yukon Gold and Northern Patrol.

Mr. Grant was educated at the University of Washington in Seattle, Whitman College in Walla Walla, Wash., and the American Conservatory of Music. He was considered a child prodigy as a violinist. Also an accomplished singer, Mr. Grant was a radio and supper club entertainer before entering films.

Mr. Grant and his wife, Carolyn, moved to Florida in 1971. "I fell in love with the place," he said.

A popular guest speaker with civic and business groups, he once told a group of businessmen he "didn`t go looking for Hollywood," but was transferred to California by NBC radio. At the time, he was a staff singer with the network in Chicago.

Mr. Grant tried repeatedly but unsuccessfully for several years to revive the television series that made him famous. He dreamed of shooting a new Sky King series in Florida and often spoke enthusiastically of using Kennedy Space Center and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach as story locations.

A revival, however, never came about.

In 1976, he started the Sky King Youth Ranch for troubled teen-age boys. But the state forced the Seminole County ranch to close in July 1977 after it ran into financial problems.

Mr. Grant had a severe heart attack in 1978. He recovered after three bypass operations and the insertion of a special valve in his heart.

In 1979, he became goodwill ambassador at Sea World and remained in the postion until August 1985, when he took a similar position at Cypress Gardens.

Co-workers at both locations said they were shocked by Mr. Grant`s death and spoke fondly of him as a man who always smiled and retained a youthful vigor.

"You would see people in their 30s go up to Kirby and say, 'I`m a pilot because of you,' " said Sea World spokeswoman Kim Devos.

Mr. Grant is survived by his wife, daughters, Kendra and Kristin, and son, Kirby III.

RESULTS: Alabama's defense was very good.

------

I love Tennessee today getting points visiting the Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa. Alabama has suspended their leading scorer and their leading rebounder and both won't be playing today. Alabama has several injuries as well. I may have an additional bet later today.

FRIDAY: 55 DIMES LOST ON THE COLUMBIA LIONS + 6 VISITING THE PRINCETON TIGERS

UPDATE: The little winning streak ends. The $100,000 profit level is like a brick wall for me.

------

Today I am back following the Indian Cowboy in college basketball. He has his Game of the Week tonight at 7:00 PM Eastern on an Ivy League game. Games of the Week, Games of the Year, locks and steam plays are just marketing gimmicks the touts use. This is just a normal 50 dime play for me tonight; I hope I can get the streak to four games and break through the $100,000 profit level that has so far eluded me.

UPDATE: Santa Clara covers over Gonzaga. Great game, the home crowd was into it in Santa Clara. Third winning day in a row, I hope this turns into a good winning streak.

After winning two days in a row, I am back on the Indian Cowboy in college basketball. He lost his college basketball play yesterday, but I like his play today.

Today, Brandon Lang won his 20 dime paid pick on Michigan State over Wisconsin. I think I would rather ski off the Silver Legacy Hotel roof in Reno than fade Michigan State against Wisky.

You saw the movie Casino. Here is a film about the real characters from the movie:



Tony Spilotro, played by Danny DeVito in the movie Casino:



From the Stardust Hotel in Las Vegas, the Frank Rosenthal Show. Robert De Niro played Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal in the movie Casino:



Last night at the Stardust:



Lefty's car:












Casino executive Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal (the Ace Rothstein character in Casino, played by Robert De Niro) exited a restaurant on E. Sahara on the evening of October 5, 1982, climbed into his late-model Cadillac, and was nearly blown to bits by a car bomb that had been placed under the vehicle. Rosenthal survived. 24 hours after the explosion, he invited three Las Vegas reporters to his home to talk about the attempt on his life. Among those who spoke with Rosenthal were Ned Day and George Knapp, who had been a reporter with KLAS for a little over a year. This is the report Knapp wrote when he returned from from Rosenthal's posh home on the Las Vegas Country Club:

This will be my only bet today.

I am upping my daily bet to 5.5% of the bankroll. Fellow blogger MacMiller has me thinking about money management. If you have a small bankroll, one method of money management you might try is to bet .265 of your bankroll. If we hit 65% winners you will have the most amount of money after any period of time. That would just leave you betting on college basketball. You would have to stay away from hockey and the NBA. I wonder if those last two sports are even handicappable. This method is called the optimum betting strategy. 65% winning long term = 26.5% of your bankroll per bet. For someone with a small bankroll you can afford to lose, I would recommend this strategy. No parlays, teasers, NHL or NBA; just betting one college basketball game at a time. If you win three games in a row you just about double your bankroll. It might not sound as conservative as what I am doing, but this is for the player with a small starting bankroll that wants the greatest chance of doubling as fast as possible. $1,000 doubled ten times is over $1,000,000. Do the math to prove it to yourself. But you got to do the work. You got to get the best line. Shop around, have multiple outs. You don't want to lose a game by the hook because you just went to only one sports book.

As an example, if you were starting with $1,000 today with money you can afford to lose, you would bet $265 on the Jacksonville State Gamecocks + 5 1/2. If you won your balance would be $1,240. If you lost your balance would be $735. Then the next game you would bet .265 times whatever your new balance was. Right now we are following a handicapper who is on a 16-1 streak in college basketball.

How to make a quick $158,000 in Nevada:

This driver went into insulin shock and started weaving. He had a vial of insulin in his pocket. Notice one police officer came up and started kicking the gentleman in the head while he was down with cameras rolling. The troubling part is the police officers appeared more concerned that the incident was on camera than that the driver was in need of medical attention. The city of Henderson Nevada wrote the driver a check for $158,000:



Luckily I have a special accessory with my car to deal with police traffic stops:
