I have been pretty lazy lately and haven't updated this in a while.  I have made a few bets here and there, but I really missed out on last weeks tennis matches.  Sometimes I just don't feel like pulling the trigger on the lines.  In hind sight the outcomes can always be wins or loses. I just feel like I missed out on a lot of money.

As for the matches that I have won.

I went with the spurs to beat the hornets in the series.  I think it was $150 to win a $100, either way it was too good of a price to pass up.

I also bet on Man U to lift the cup (to beat Chealsea).  It also came through but was a really emotional win for me and any other fans that were watching the game.

I have been busy with school and pretty much trying to relax for a bit.  Need to enjoy my time off. 

Novak vs. Andy Murray @ -300

Novak has never lost to Andy, though both of them have been playing very well Novak should be able to win a solid match.

$300 to win $100

OUTCOME: Novak won 6:0 6:4.

Well, my friends convinced me to go to one of our "local" casinos via a small road trip with them.  It should be a lot of fun, considering it is spring break and I have not been able to do any major gambling for a very long time.  Though, I am limiting myself and only am taking $1k, but as long as I stay away from the roulette wheel I should be fine.  

I have only placed bets for recreational purposes since last basketball season.  Since then, I have steadily climbed my way up only to lose some back when the Pats lost the superbowl.  For anyone that took the giants to win outright at 3.x : 1, that was just insane.  Anyways, after that blunder, which often happens in sports....I have refrained from placing any wagers.  I still check lines and scores everyday, but I have not wanted to deal with the stress of betting so big everyday.  The money was good, but the stress was overwhelming at many points and I have chosen to sacrifice it to really focus on school.  I am currently studying 25-35 hours per week, so I have little time to add any additional (optional) stress onto my workload.

Anyways, that being said.  I came across a tennis line that pretty much brought a smile to my face.  

Andy Roddick vs. Novak Djokavich  @ -275 

Andy Roddick faced a tough match yesterday against Nadal, and I consider Novak to be JUST as good as Roger Federer.  So, I went ahead and took the line.  

So, I have not posted in a really long time.  I had very little time for sports betting last semester, I had to focus on a few really hard classes.  I have only bet on a few events the last one being the Mayweather fight.  I obviously took Floyd, he just does not lose.  Anyways, I have been keeping up with basketball, but it is nothing like last season.  I am going to make an effort to do consistent research and try to get things going once again.  Other than that, I really need to play some poker and have some fun this month.   

Nadal vs. Murray @ -200

OUTCOME: Nadal won 2:0

+1 Unit for today. 

+2 for the week. 

Took the Pats over the Boys @ -255. we will see how this works out.  I backed off some tennis lines that I should have laid into, so I am a little steamed at myself.


OUTCOME: Pats won by 21. 

+1 Unit

I am extremely bored with college football.  No team has proven to be consistent, so I have not invested a lot of time in studying the lines.  There have been a few tennis tournaments, no big name players just a lot of average vs average players.  I have dabbled a little in these, but have seen some heavy lines come falling down (none that I had money on though).  I am trying to hold out and wait for NBA season to start, since this is where I make the most money, so I am trying not to make unnecessary bets till then.  If I had the time I would play poker but, I am trying to make it my weekly goal to make enough money every week to clear the buy-in for the Sunday 100k tourney.  I figure if I can play it every weekend then I am bound to go deep one Sunday and cash big.  Then I can focus more on poker and eventually move to Vegas...gg...College...

I have not found anything to bet on lately.  The US open (tennis) should be starting soon.  So, there should be a few matches to bet on there. 

I really hate to bet on baseball but the Braves are playing the Reds today.  I know the Braves have not performed very well lately, but Tim Hudson (14-5, 3.02 ERA) is pitching tonight  against  Phil Dumatrait (0-1, 10.32 ERA).  The ESPN projection has Atlanta favored by 68%, though this projection is usually wrong.  I am going to take this match up at -200.


OUTCOME: Braves won 14:4
