SUNDAY: 50 DIMES WON ON THE MICHIGAN WOLVERINES -5 1/2 AT HOME AGAINST THE ILLINOIS FIGHTING ILLINI

UPDATE: The Fighting Illini played better than I thought they would but the Wolverines still cover the 5 1/2 points for the win.

-----

Illinois is not playing very good this year. Michigan at home should easily cover the 5 1/2 points. Most books here have this game at Michigan -5. I may have another pick later if Michigan covers.

Total profit since this blog started and today's beginning balance: $88,664

Bet per dime: ($88,664 divided by 1,000 units) times 1.1 = $97.53

ITS 11:26 AM EASTERN SUNDAY - FRIENDS OF CHEETAH FOLLOW PLAY: 50 Dimes on the Michigan Wolverines - 5 1/2 at home against the Illinois Fighting Illini playing in the Crisler Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan at 1:00 PM EST., Bet $4,876 (50 X $97.53), grading this at - 5 1/2 (lots of -5 out there) but as always shop around. RESULTS: Won $4,432

FINAL SCORE: Michigan Wolverines 70 Illinois Fighting Illini 61

Profit on the Michigan play: 50 dimes or $4,432

This game I like Michigan. I see Lang has it for 20 dimes. Over the long haul, Lang has not done bad on his ten or twenty dimers. The secret to the fade has been fading his large dime plays.

The thing here is Illinois is just bad this year. I believe that Michigan will defeat the Fighting Illini by double digits today at home. I liked Michigan even before I saw what Lang or Quinn had. Besides, Quinn has had his winning streak in college basketball this year and the Lang Fade is down 152 1/2 dimes so far in 2012.

After looking at all the match ups today and studying this game all morning, something inside me is just yelling out to bet Michigan today. I got to go with my gut. Watch the game and see how lousy the Fighting Illini play today. Good luck to you!

Welcome. I hope you are having a great day!

This is an informational blog for Nevada residents only. Please feel free to make comments. If you think I am full of it, tell me! I hope this blog is helpful and entertaining and even possibly profitable to you. I will never tell you to bet a hockey game! Can I tell you the secret to sports betting in two words? Money management. One thing I know for sure, you are here and you are reading this. You are a winner!

My rules for sports betting:

As you win, your bets per dime should go up. As you lose, your bets per dime will go down. This automatically adjusts for runs or streaks. You should bet more when you are winning and bet less when you are losing. This rule does not apply to Labby Lines.

ALWAYS get the best line. Shop Around. Get up early. Have multiple outs. This is critical to long-term success, you have to do the work. Never play at a sports book which is known for not paying winners, make sure your sports book is not on the Black List. For grading purposes, we will grade all plays as what is most available to players. So don't be surprised if I change the line during the day for grading purposes, IF the line goes against me.

Use 1,000 dimes. Have the biggest bankroll you can put together. Most of the money you can just keep in the bank. But it has to be there to withstand any severe downturn. This is money you can afford to lose.

Never pay for a pick or bet based on what a paid tout says. You know I am giving you my best opinion, because I am not selling you anything! Help your hungry neighbor if you want to give money to someone. You need to have a filtering process to beat the vig. You got to win more than you lose.

If you ever get the urge to bet on a hockey game, lay down till the urge passes.

If you hit a winning streak and get ahead a lot, consider taking your original bankroll off the table and playing with just the profits. As night follows day, a good winning streak can be followed by a bad one.

Watch for fishy lines in college basketball in small leagues, such as the Horizon League. If several casinos have this off the board and the line moves so that it crosses zero stay off the game or consider betting which way the money is flowing. It may turn into a very entertaining game to watch in the last two minutes.

Don't bet the board. Be very selective. Surround and pound! Scared money is no money. Less is more!

Don't do parlays. Bet one game at a time. Parlays are for losers. Never bet on a hockey game.

You can do teasers, but be very selective.

When you get burned out on gambling or don't feel you are up to your best game, take a few weeks or months off. Enjoy the profits. Travel the world or do something different. Life is short.

Football rule - Tattoo this rule on your arm: Buy the half point (the hook) either up or down depending whether you are on the favorite or the underdog when the line crosses 3, 4 or 7 and sometimes 10.

In the NFL, skip the game or play the other side when a home team opens up at -2 1/2.

Bet the favorites early and underdogs late, especially in a game that is getting a lot of action. Generally the public will be all over the favorite, driving up the price.
