Winners Win on Sports

As previously mentioned, my basketball betting has massively come on leaps and bounds this season. Since the season started in October. When you think about it, this is pretty silly really. I’m just sat on my computer at home, betting on groups of tall lads throwing a ball through a hoop. So after the betting’s kicked it up a notch, how do I feel? Well not that much really, just a quiet…

2017 is here, it has a tough act to follow as 2016 was pretty amazing! I thought it would be fun to write some predictions for the coming year for area that I have some interest/knowledge in: NBA Regular season award winners: MVP- James Harden COY – Mike D’Antoni ROY – Joel Embiid The first hot-take is that I’m fully expecting the Cavs to meet the Warriors in the finals for the third straight…

Here’s the end of year awards for this place, Winners Win: The Winnies! I started this blog back in March 2015, so this is first whole calendar year of the blog. With the final post of the year, here’s a rundown of the best moments from 2016: Best Bet I haven’t posted any massive long shot winners this year, not like the Steph Curry MVP win of the previous season. Backing Denver to win Superbowl…

Merry Christmas everyone! Now, at work we’ve had & received Christmas messages that purposefully do not mention the word “Christmas” for fear of offending anyone. Including the title that’s 4 instances of the word Christmas (5 now), and if anyone is offended, please, fuck off. What happened to peace and good will to all men?! Yes, yes, fair point. And women too! Seriously, Merry Christmas to one…

NFL Week 15 Picks

There’s only 3 weeks left in the regular season in the NFL. In my SuperContest I’ve only got 31.5 points out of a possible 70. Not good. The only thing I have to play for is to get above 50%. SuperContest bets: Jacksonville Jaguars +6 at Houston texans Philadelphia Eagles +5.5 at Baltimore Ravens Arizona Cardinals -2.5 home to New Orleans Saints San Diego Chargers +3 home to Oakland Raiders…

If you’ve been paying attention recently my NFL bets have been pretty poor this season. The good news is that my basketball betting has started the season very well. I’ve actually just had my best ever week & best ever month betting, which is down to the NBA. Looking back at my records November & December are usually a very months for me. As it’s early in the season and there’s plenty of value to…

Two posts back here I referenced the NBA model that  fivethirtyeight has. I view it from time to time just to see what they’re saying, but take it with a pinch of salt, but sometimes this is the amount of salt you need: Lets have a look at the games from last night and tonight’s NBA slate: There’s some pretty big edges to be found! A mere edge of 35% on the Magic tonight, whilst an edge of 188%…

Quick post on the NFL this week as I’m away this weekend. I’ve just wrote this quickly on my phone this morning. Another bad week on this sport last week. I’m looking more and more likely to stop betting on NFL to focus solely on basketball. I’ll write some more on that this coming week. SuperContest bets I’ve gone for 5 road teams this week: Denver Broncos +1 at Tennessee Titans Pittsburgh…

Money for Nothing: Dormant Account Fees

Now and then I log on to the Guardian website, purely for comedy value. I get my actual news from other sources but it’s interesting and always highly assuming to see what’s currently triggering the loony left. I’m glad someone’s finally brave enough to stand up and confront the pertinent issues of our day: those fucking emojis! Yes, you could go onto any website, go back far enough and find a…

With roughly a quarter of the NBA season gone, here’s some points of interest from the season so far: They are who we thought they are Golden State are as expected, the best team in the league, and by some margin. They are nonchalantly destroying teams like they owe them money. They currently have the best Offensive Rating of all time: Whilst it is only a quarter of the way through the season, I…

NFL Week 13 Picks

Ironically 3 days after promising to write about more just a weekly NFL post… the next post is the weekly NFL post! I’ve got a couple of posts half written that will go out next week. And I’m gonna to finish off the NFL season anyway. With only 5 weeks to go in my Supercontest I’m 13 points off the top..I’m beginning to think I may not win it this year… Atlanta Falcons -4 home to Kansas City…

2016 NFL Week 12 Picks

Another good week last week winning 2.78 points. I’ve nearly got myself back to break even on the season, as I’m only 1.72 points down. Supercontest picks: Buffalo Bills -7.5 home to Jacksonville Jaguars Hard week to choose and I’m starting off with choosing the Bills, again, I’m nothing if not predictable. The line at pinny went up to -10 but is currently at -8.5. Tennessee Titans -4.5…

2016 NFL Week 10 Picks

Yet another losing week on the NFL. 4 bets last week with 4 losers. I’m in the midst of an awful losing streak on NFL. I’m currently down 9.15 points. It’s just as well that my basketball betting has started off this season on all cylinders. Giving recent form you’d be best off opposing the following selections!: Supercontest picks: Denver Broncos +2.5 at New Orleans Saints New York Jets…

2016 NFL Week 9 Picks

NFL Power Rankings updated. After another losing week to add to a disappointing season so far on the NFL, I’ll be honest that it’s hard to get motivated for another week. 7 bets last weekend: 1 winner, 1 void and the rest were losers. Yet all but one bet beat the closing line at Pinnacle. It’s a good indicator but it doesn’t guarantee any winners. So I’m in the middle of bad stretch of NFL bets.…
