    tues

    90-85-2: -0.13 u

    ATS/Totals: 88-73-2

    Dog ML: 2-12


    (if i had bet the ML on every dog of 4.5 points or more...the record would be 9-33...despite that awful looking WL record it'd be in the plus by about 3 units following that tiered ML betting i talked about) 27% but in the plus, this is why i will always have money on dog money lines forever now. makes it more fun also. i also fully expect to pick more outrights next season, bunch of near misses this year)

    some thoughts

    BC @ clemson: at first glance i thought BC catching 9 points was absurd. Clemson is not that great, but im starting to learn my lesson with some of these public dogs. Majority of dog bets ive lost lately have been on public road dogs that seem to be catching way too many. I will not lay off dogs because they are publicly backed, but i will now start to look closer into these situations to find a good reason to stay away. looking back at a couple of the road dogs i lost recently there were ample reasons to lay off but i forced the issue (like the penn st @ illy game or seton hall @ west v game)

    Clemson lost @ bc last year and beat them by double digits at home. Will likely be similar result this year. clemson's home wins have been by around this margin or more, bc hasnt been that great on the road. the # is justified


    UGA vs. xavier: X has sleptwalk thru the last 2 games vs. crappy teams after an impressive run to open conference play. im sure they were looking ahead a bit to this matchup, but could also be a result of the short bench starting to catch up to them. Imo, uga is the kind of athletic team that can get x in foul trouble and make them use that bench. X came up short vs most of the good teams theyve faced this year OOC. i read that uga players had caught a flu bug in arkansas which may explain a little why they struggled vs auburn at home. UGA manages to blow leads often and this could very well end up around the spread so im gonna see if this drops to a clean -4.


    Tennessee is another somewhat tempting looking dog because i think kentucky is highly overrated, but i vowed to never bet a dime on the vols after that pathetic stretch of lossess they endured earlier this season, ive faded them with success this year.


    so UGA will likely be my only play for tuesday.

    Pearl is back on the bench for Tenny tonight too. Don't know if that means anythign or not , but does give a little boost to the Vols.

    I agree aon all your points too. The public dog thing has bitten me all year too.

    Its seems when their is a juicy dog of 9-11 points that fav seems to always pull away late. I still think the dog of 5.5-6 is the bets play, public or not.

      aint that the truth... what it comes down to is being more patient. the way im lookin at it now is that eearlier in the season there'll be more opportunity to cash a nice 12 point dog outright since teams could still be undervalued, and alot of faves will be inflated due to preseason hype or a small sample size of results. at this point of the season the majority of lines are much sharper, so a juicy looking dog is fools gold more often than not.

      since every dog of 5 points or more is an automatic multi unit play for me going forward i have to get used to being more selective with the dogs in that 8-12 range...

      i am 25-17 ats on dogs of 5 or more this year but of course since i decided to play them all for multi units im a couple under .500...

      hopefully next season betting this way consistently for a full season i can hit a similar % of dogs. i think itll be imperative for me to do some damage with dogs in the first 2 months of the season next year, and ill be less inclined to force the issue with dogs in 2nd half of season.

          BC is a classic example tonight. I see BC catching that many and I think that looks good.

          But if i lay the points, I swear the dog comes in and wins or keeps it close.


          Its one of those things, where you are damned if you do and damned if you don't. Long term, i will always stick to the dogs as it gives you a shot to win in most cases.

          I am backing off Tenny as they are a public dog. Just by reading the line and nothing else, I say UK rolls by 10 +.
