Welcome Fillies and Gentlecolts!

I guess that I should start off by explaining what I am planning on doing with this blog.  The main point is to open up discussions about two things that have a major impact on my daily life: gambling and my little pony.  A second point to this blog is to give myself a place to express my views and vent out my ideas, likes, and concerns about said topics.

For starters, I should introduce two sites for the gambling aspect of the blog.  These two sites are ESPN Streak for the Cash and CentSports (both links are provided on the sidebar).  These sites provide free ways of making the games, in my mind, more interesting and give you an opportunity to gain some money from them.  Streak for the Cash provides games that are chosen by the "streak master" and provide several different kind of prop bets and other sorts of bets on a limited scale of what the "streak master" feels is important (or is on an ESPN network).  CentSports allows you to bet on a much larger scale of games and uses the Vegas style odds and spreads.  I plan on providing what I believe to be the best choices on the day for both of these sites.

The My Little Pony aspect is more going to be based on commentary about the episodes or MLP in general.  Mostly, it is going to be me talking about how awesome the show is and every once in a while expressing some sort of concern about the direction that some of the characters seem to be taking or something along those lines.

So now down to business, for the Streak I don't feel very confident about a lot of the games on there but the best choice seems to be the Chicago Bulls (-4) over the Atlanta Hawks.  For the more adventurous type or those that don't like the NBA, I would have to choose Iona: Winning Margin over Buffalo: 3 Pts made or tie.  Iona is an 8.5 point favorite and Buffalo on average over the regular season only shot about 16 three pointers a game, making on average about 6.  For CentSports, I like either a money line parlay with East Tenn State (-235) and Iona (-440), the bulls on the money line (if it comes out later), or Oklahoma women's bball (+6.5) against Miami (FL). Oklahoma have had troubles turning the ball over and Miami is a very good pressing team, so there is the possibility that Miami could end up making this game a blowout, but I just feel that Oklahoma's experience won't allow for such a thing to happen.

My Bets:
Streak: Chicago Bulls
CentSports: Chicago Bulls (-190)

  1. Boozer is still out tonight though, and the Hawks are pretty tough. Bulls might still get it.

    PS I think I'm adding this blog to my favorites.
