ESports Keeps Me Going in this COVID-19 Isolated World – CS:GO Predictions

Leave a comment

Haven’t written in a while because I have been semi-depressed that there is no March Madness or Masters this year or any sports. I have given up on live American Sports in 2020. Shoulda cherished UNC and VCU’s basketball seasons.. even though my teams suck… speaking of my teams sucking, WHAT THE HELL ARE MY PANTHERS DOING?!? No Cam, Olsen, or Luke is going to be weird. I am going to do a free agency/NFL Draft write-up soon once some of this dust settles. I digress.

3-2 on eSports in 2019 up 3.53 units 

1-1 in 2020 up 0.75 units 

100 Thieves -1.5 at -135 for 5 units. 100 Thieves will want to get off to a good start in this Pro League Season. Swole Patrol do not have the talent or teamwork to keep up with the Thieves. Cooper has been dominating some matches for Swole Patrol. That was against teams a couple tiers below 100T though. 100T will want to avenge their lost to fnatic and get back to winning today against a lesser squad. They won’t take them for granted..

SKADE -1.5 at +125 for 5 units. If this was on LAN and not online, I would bet this silly heavy. Turkey5 may have a small chance to win online if the maps fall their way. I still like SKADE a lot though. SKADE have won their past 4 maps. Here’s to them getting to 6 in a row.

Vexed +1.5 at -215 for 5 units. I think Vexed could pull out the “upset” today. Vexed can play Dust2 and Mirage just as well, if not better than Endpoint. mezil has been playing well recently. Vexed have enough talent to win this whole thing, if they can put it together.

Rudy Gobert’s stupidity suspends the NBA season (along with the CoronaVirus)

Leave a comment

Rudy Gobert went out of his way to contract the Corona.

Here is a video of him touching all the mics recently at a press conference.

The NBA has suspended the rest of its season according to Shams. Rudy Gobert tested positive for the virus. It seems like he thought it was a joke and went out of his way to get it. Unreal stuff. Gobert got the virus, making the NBA suspend the season. He put people in danger.
The NCAA tournament is being played without crowds. Italian soccer has been suspended. The slippery slope keeps slipping.

AGO Esports +1.5 at -150 for 5 units. AGO have been ice cold lately, so they will take at least a map. AGO are pretty filthy on Dust2. Furlan can’t play worse than he did last time against Gambit. The 16 year old F1ku is pretty damn good. He will keep improving. Furlan plays better and Gambit gets a map.  Gambit are the better team IMO, but I like the AGO spread a lot today.

Team Spirit ML at -300 for 3 units. Spirit are the better team. SKADE could have some individuals step up, but I like Spirit’s teamplay to get the win.

Miss You Kobe

Leave a comment

I haven’t wrote an article in about 8 days. I have been having a silly good year gambling wise, but was traveling for a couple days and then the Kobe news broke. Every time I would get on to write, I would watch Kobe videos/highlights/interviews instead. The ones of Shaq and Jerry West talking about Kobe on Inside the NBA last night was incredibly sad.

I will do a full Kobe write-up after the Super Bowl. I think it is the saddest death in sports history. Nothing really comes close to me. Kobe dominated being a great father like he did the NBA basketball court. I know he would have done phenomenal things post-basketball. I would have bet the house on it. He was already well on his way.

RIP Kobe, Gianna, John Altobelli, Keri Altobelli, Alyssa Altobelli, Christina Mauser, Payton Chester, Sarah Chester, and Ara Zobayan.

Thanksgiving Week Parlays

Leave a comment

3-8-1 on weekend parlay up 5.66 units

My parlay last weekend made it to Sunday, so hedging out was a real possibility. The Falcons and Browns were the Sunday plays. Falcons blew it. I am counting it as a push because hedging out should have happened to some winnings.

All the colleges are football plays. Hard to get lines that you can put into parlays with college basketball days in advance with all the tournaments going on.

Cant Win Parlay:

Bears/Jimmy Robertson (Snooker)/Saints/Buffalo -29/Boise State/App State/Real Madrid/Manchester City/Leipzig/Liverpool/Indiana/Wake Forest/Juventus/Aston Villa +1/Panthers/Eagles/Chiefs 

Risking 2 units to win 639.39 units.

Cant Lose Parlay:

Manchester United and Sevilla in Europa League/Bears/Iowa/Boise State/Manchester City/Liverpool/Tottenham/Oklahoma/Panthers/Eagles/Chiefs 

Risking 2 units to win 63.86 units.

The Redskins are the Worst Franchise in American Professional Sports – Trent Williams Edition

Leave a comment

The Nationals have won the World Series. The Caps won the Stanley Cup. The Redskins have a racist name. Oh, Also, they have a one point win against a winless team that is trying to lose.

I am not going to get into Dan Snyder. Here is a solid article by Martin Fennelly of the Tamba Bay Times that sums it up. Williams says this situation below wasn’t Snyder’s fault..

This Trent Williams stuff has pissed me off as a human. Williams was in the hospital for an extended period of time and no member of the Washington organization visited him. DeAngelo Hall did. A former player. The Redskins told him the cancerous tumor on his skull was “minor” in 2013. Williams failed his physical because he had discomfort with his helmet this week. My mans is talking about cancer and Forrest Gump and the Redskins are just hitting ping pong balls and laughing in the background. What kind of locker room is this? Where is the camaraderie? Everyone is blaming Bruce Allen, and rightfully so..

Question: Can the relationship between you and Bruce Allen be repaired? Trent Williams: (pause) “Next question.”

At a certain point, players should just pull an Eli Manning and say they are not going to play for this organization. I understand a paycheck to play in the NFL is a dream, but if you are talented enough.. other teams will sign you. Williams had cancer and the Redskins failed to test for it for 6 years. A minute part of the blame falls on Williams for not getting a second opinion in 2013, but Washington should have some of the best doctors.

Bottom Line: There is more to life than football. Get Healthy Trent.

Weekend Parlay Round 7 – Last Week’s Won!

Leave a comment

3-3 on weekend parlay up 13.66 units 

3 Parlays for me this weekend. Feeling lucky after last week’s won.

Appalachian State/Notre Dame/Pittsburgh/Auburn/Tennessee/Boise State Parlay risking 2 units to win 6.61 units. All money-line bets. College Football. Boise State, Pittsburgh, Auburn, and Notre Dame are all coming off of tough losses. I like them all in bounceback games against inferior opponents. App State gets a decent Georgia Southern team at home. The Mountaineers will do enough to get the win.

Finally, Tennessee looked good against South Carolina last weekend. They know they have to beat UAB at home to make a bowl game. I wouldn’t be shocked if the Volunteers win the rest of the season, but it starts against UAB.

49ers/Bills/Tennessee/Notre Dame/Auburn/Boise State/Pittsburgh/App State Parlay risking 2 units to win 4.56 units. Like the college plays so much I am adding the 49ers and Bills. 49ers are unbeaten and going against the Cardinals on a short week. I love betting against rookie head coaches in their first Thursday Night game. The 49ers are faster and stronger in the trenches. Sanders has more time to learn the offense. Bills play the Redskins at home. Bills defense and Josh Allen get the job done.

Sorry for adding NFL plays and the odds getting worse.. I placed the only college football parlay on Monday. Tennessee, Boise State, Auburn, and Notre Dame have all been slightly more favored since then. 

49ers/Bills/Tennessee/Notre Dame/Auburn/Boise State/Pittsburgh/App State/PSG/Real Madrid/Barcelona Parlay risking 2 units to win 12.31 units. Barcelona looked dominant midweek. The line has already moved in Barcelona’s favor. Messi and Suarez are in silly good form. Levante will lose. Real Madrid also looked great. Madrid handled Leganes with ease, 5-0. Real Betis have underperformed this season. Real Madrid lost this fixture last season 2-0. Betis are actually the more injured team with William Carvalho out. As well as, Dani Martin, Juan Miguel Juanmi Lopez, Wilfrid Jaures Kaptoum, and Francis Guerrero doubtful.
