College Hoops: Feeling the Pressure
— vegasonlinesports.com — It may be mid-March, but I am reminded of Game 7 of the 1988 NLCS between the... Dodgers and Mets. The Mets had won 100 games, leading from wire to wire, and were expected to win the World Series. But they fumbled and bumbled Game 7 behind a slew of second-inning errors and lost the pennant 6-0 to the Dodgers. After the game, a baseball analyst wrote, "The Dodgers wanted to win Game 7.

College Hoops Challenges in the Tourney
— vegasonlinesports.com — Last week I talked about the weird year that fans were witnessing in college basketball. It was... as if we had "A" teams, and "C" teams, but nobody in between. If you watched the conference tournaments, you saw exactly what I was talking about. In fact, all the media could talk about on the first day of action was how all the mediocre bubble teams kept losing! (more) College Hoops Challenges in the Tourney

NBA Deadwood Packing it In
— vegasonlinesports.com — Last week I wrote about how the Rockets had won 18 in a row and it's best... not to try and figure out when a hot team is going to cold. The smart handicapper rides the hot streaks. So what happened? Houston rips off 4 more wins in a row, going 3-1 against the spread. Again, if you tried to guess when the Rockets are going to go into a tailspin and wager against them, you would have continued to lose (more) NBA Deadwood Packing it In

Houston, We Have Liftoff!
— vegasonlinesports.com — 18 in a row! There's no better example of backing a hot roller at the dice table... than the Houston Rockets. Some ascribe to the theory that a hot roller is going to cool off soon so they play against them. The more successful tried and true method is to ride the hot streak until they go cold and THEN jump off. (more) Houston, We Have Liftoff!

Dealing with the Whims of 3-Point Performance
— picksonline.com — Probably the biggest monkey wrench for college basketball handicappers is the seeming randomness of three-point shooting performances.... Whenever you lose a game you love, it seems like your team will always have something like 2-12 or 3-18 on their three-point stat line. If not that, the opponent was 8-12 or 10-15. If three-point shooting had been normal, you would have won easily. (more) Dealing with the Whims of 3-Point Performance

NBA Second Half Stretch Run
— vegasonlinesports.com — The NBA took the weekend off for the All Star break, but now it's back to action.... The second half stretch run is one of the best times of the year for sports handicappers. Some teams are completely out of it and will pack it in, allowing for great go-against spots. Other "bubble" teams will attempt to make a second half push to try and squeeze into the playoffs, while still others are the elite (more) NBA Second Half Stretch Run

NBA Davids to Goliaths
— jimfeist.com — It's not often you see NBA trades or free agent moves that turn around the fortunes of... teams fast. When you look at recent NBA champs (the Lakers, Spurs, Pistons and Heat) it was a combination of things that built them. The Spurs hit the draft lottery jackpot with Tim Duncan in 1997, while the Lakers and Heat won their titles with Shaq in the middle. Shaq went as a free agent to LA in 1996, then (more) NBA Davids to Goliaths
