I am pretty happy with last years results because I was able to break even and learn a lot. My winning percentage continued to climb each month last year so I hope to turn the corner and have a profitable year. I lost a lot of units in Nov and Dec last year so I have decided to try and tread much lighter early on this year (hence why I have yet to even bet a game so far). Don't be surprised if I do not have any plays for days at a time. Also expect more 2nd half wagers this year (maybe I will open a twitter account to get them out in a more timely fashion).<br /><br />Here is to a profitable 09-10 NCAA Basketball Season!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script expr:src='"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~s/PicksThatCover?i=" + data:post.url' type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script></div>Johnny Decemberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11100393606971893583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667482062517152358.post-1195226399213430332009-03-28T14:38:00.001-04:002009-03-28T15:03:04.810-04:00Here is what I have for today:<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#000099;">Pitt -2</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#000099;">Pitt vs Nova Over 141</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#000099;">Uconn vs Missouri Under 150</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#000099;">Uconn vs Missouri Under 71 1st Half</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#000099;"></span></strong><br /><span style="color:#000000;">I might add Pitt for the 1st half as well.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script expr:src='"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~s/PicksThatCover?i=" + data:post.url' type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script></div>Johnny Decemberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11100393606971893583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667482062517152358.post-47540883807894291332009-03-27T18:39:00.000-04:002009-03-27T18:40:08.240-04:00<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script expr:src='"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~s/PicksThatCover?i=" + data:post.url' type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script></div>Johnny Decemberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11100393606971893583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667482062517152358.post-5103831560913605952009-03-27T18:25:00.001-04:002009-03-27T18:26:41.984-04:00So far I have locked in:<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#330099;">Syracuse +1</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#330099;">Michigan st -1</span></strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script expr:src='"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~s/PicksThatCover?i=" + data:post.url' type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script></div>Johnny Decemberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11100393606971893583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667482062517152358.post-62509013392812172482009-03-26T23:01:00.000-04:002009-03-26T23:02:13.203-04:00<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script expr:src='"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~s/PicksThatCover?i=" + data:post.url' type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script></div>Johnny Decemberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11100393606971893583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667482062517152358.post-20929486185701892862009-03-26T21:23:00.002-04:002009-03-26T21:26:56.551-04:00Missed a middle opportunity on the 2nd half Uconn total.
