Welcome, good luck.

**GameWages** · 01-28-25, 07:09 PM

Im going to post another pick.

We have another great matchup between the Baylor bears +3.5 Vs BYU Cougars -3.5.

BYU is very tough at home with high flying 3 point % and tall forwards who can shoot the 3. I don't take away anything from Baylor, but BUY 10-1 at home with its only loss to Texas Tech by 5. When you have above a 90% win record, that shows a very dominant characteristic. Baylor hasn't been great of late to bring fear into picking this game. BYU has an amazing home court, that energy or support only enhances these athletes on the court to make shots look easy, have crisp passing, and a tight tight mentality to limit turnovers. Baylor has been loose of late, and that's why im not afraid to place my money and reputation on the cougars -3.5 tonight.

BYU -3.5 is the play for tonight.
Best OF Luck.

Gotta love OT to bail you out to get the favorite to cover the spread. Nice win on BYU.

And speaking of OT, Houston last game thriller in beating (and covering) Kansas in 2OT was amazing. Houston v. West Virginia on Wednesday might be interesting game.

Anyway, great analysis and good luck!

1-1 ytd
1-1 yesterday

have not seen a home team ranked top 10 at home go 2-12 in 3 pointers to start a game in who knows how long. despite that ugly start, tenn was up by 3 at the half. within 3 minutes into the 2nd half and Tenn was trailing double digits. Utterly crap, those points too -11 was too much. my fault for not recognizing and buying into the hype. Kentuky undermanned was the one who had the juice on the road last night.

Looking at one college basketball game tonight.

UNLV +10.5 VS Utah St -10.5

Utah state looking for revenge after losing their second game to UNLV on the road a few weeks ago. Expecting Utah St to flex some home court muscles, good home crowd, lots of momentum, lots of juice vs a UNLV team who struggles on the road. This explanation may be weak, but results are all that matter.

Utah state -10.5 is the play

Best of luck.

I also posted 2 picks for the NBA feel free to check those out.
Thank You!

In Tennessee, the crowd was cheering, but the arena felt really flat. Koodos to UK for bringing urgency despite being down 2 key players.
2-12 from 3 pointer at home to begin with was proof that Tenn was not ready for this one. BYU had a great first half, but Baylor bounced back really strong despite their best guard not playing. The backup freshman did a phenomenal job filling in. BYU's defense was loose in the second half allowing wide open shots. Luckly BUY covered.

**GameWages** · 01-30-25, 12:28 AM

Ian Martinez. (Utah states best basketball player) Someone please investigate this fool for being a point shaver. what a let down.

**str** · 01-30-25, 09:31 AM

Welcome. Don't feel the pressure of trying to just pick winners for respect. Solid analysis, sound money management, as well as decision making can help people better understand the game. Speaking for myself, learning WHY is better than learning WHO when it comes to betting.

Good Luck.

run as fast as you can GameWages, while you still can, and don't ever look back. Nothing good will come out of this. I came here to try it out for a week or two.

Just kidding. Good luck.

Like a brilliant man once said ... "If you ain't first, you're last."

**JAKEPEAVY21** · 01-30-25, 10:36 AM

What do you plan on doing with all that respect?

**Gaze73** · 01-30-25, 03:47 PM

Does anyone make money with double digit favs? I don't think so. Everyone can see they're the better team.

Hello. Here looking to gain some respect in this industry. With that said, I want to wish everyone the best of luck.
0-0 career.

Taking the Tennessee Volunteers -11. They have a strong hot team right now at home vs a gimpy wildcat team that's limped passed some suspect opponents. Loosing by 2 on the road vs #1 ranked team over the weekend has me pretty confident with this team. I'm sure the players are even more confident. Rick Barnes is a great coach, don't see his team taking the foot off the gas pedal vs a big rival like Kentucky. Home Court is a huge plus, with everything weighed in...

Tennessee -11 is the play.

Best of luck

YTD 3-2 overall 2-0 NBA 1-2 NCAA hoops
2-1 yesterday 2-0 NBA 0-1 NCAA hoops

Calling out an athlete is not what we do unless it is clearly obvious that their head isn't in the game. With Utha St's performance last night, I did not like Their best players body language throughout the game. His facial expressions seemed of a person feeling guilty and scared, and him being a 90% free-throw shooter missing the last 3 out of 4 shots was frustrating. His teammates kept patting him on the back like hey man u alright type of thing... it was disappointing taking a 9 point lead at the half only to allow UNLV to drive in relentlessly without conteting a shot. UNLV shot 4-20 from three pointers last night, no reason Utah st couldn't cover that spread.

Today will only be 1 play with college basketball. 2 plays with NBA

Ohio State +2.5 VS Penn ST -2.5

I have a great feeling about todays Matchup between these two conference rivals. Over the last 10 games Ohio state has been averaging 80 points and allowing 73 while penn state has averaged 76 and allowed 77. hate going against home teams, However, Ohio St has a better team preseason. Don't get me wrong about Penn state, they have some good ball scoring guards and play well as a team, But Ohio State has a stronger, deeper team.

OHIO STATE +2.5 is the play.

Props for GW, he has a lot going for him
-better looking than any of us were at his age
-he walks into a bank, and they just hand him a line of credit without application
-get more tail than ken curtis from (gunsmoke) ever did
-his sunglasses are so cool elon musk takes notice
-sharper than billy walters on beating lines

**GameWages** · 01-30-25, 05:50 PM

3.5 now (clap clap clap) love fading the movement.

**GameWages** · 01-30-25, 06:21 PM

Thanks for the criticism, thanks for the support.
Yall ever herd the Adam Sandler skit on his album called respect. haha.

Yes it is very important to have money management skills in this industry. Discipline, even if it hurts, is how you improve your win %
reverse intuition is another good one. Anyway I hope I get a chance to post on a new thread next week, its going to be a headache If all my posts are saved onto this one.

Good luck everyone, If I were to rate the confidence level from here, Id give it a 10 / 10. Winning 2 out of 3 is a payday. Paydays are what we look for. But the sweeps... Could probably buy a shitty used car with a sweep.
