Welcome to the forum, nature one! We usually do a much better job with the trends thread than we did yesterday!

Yes i know Been following from a week now..I like very much the NHL trends and especially the ''Short Sheed''

[Udog]

nature one,

We've got a little experiment going. We're tracking Dunkel and all the additional picks for a month. We're in the third week of the test. You can follow the results daily at:

http://www.bettorschat.com/forums/al...cks-day-2.html

So far, it's shown us that Dunkel is a coin flip if you use them to pick. They're a little better at totals than at sides.

The Side Play of the Day is on a good streak. 5-0 so far this week. I think, going back into the previous week, it's on a 7-0 run.

Tips and Trends
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Big 12 Title: Baylor vs. #14 Missouri [6 PM ET]

Baylor: The ninth-seeded Bears are the lowest seed to advance to the Big 12 title game since Missouri did it as a #10 seed 12 years ago. However, no team seeded lower than third has ever won the Big 12 tournament, which just so happens to be the seed of the Tigers this year. “I believe in God, and I know he can do miracles,” Baylor head coach Scott Drew said. “So I definitely believe.” “We came into (the tournament) the underdog, and we took that as a chip on our shoulder,” Bears senior guard Henry Dugat said. “We’ve still got one more step to do, and we’re ready and willing to do it.”

Baylor is 8-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings.
The UNDER is 10-1 in Baylor's last 11 games overall.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 71

Missouri (-4.5, O/U 148): The Tigers beat Baylor 89-72 in the first meeting back on January 31st after losing the previous two games between the teams, including one in last year's Big 12 tournament. They are coming off a poor shooting performance against Oklahoma State on Friday night, winning 67-59 despite making only 37.5 percent of their shots. “It wasn’t a thing of beauty,” Missouri head coach Mike Anderson said. “But sometimes ugly is better for us. I always say shooting comes and goes, and it went tonight. I thought our defense was the constant.”

Missouri is 9-3 ATS in its last 12 games overall.
The UNDER is 6-2 in Missouri's last 8 neutral site games.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 76



Pac-10 Title: USC vs. #23 Arizona State [6 PM ET]

USC: The home team won each meeting between them during the regular season, giving the Trojans some confidence heading into their biggest game of the season. They limited Pac-10 Player of the Year James Harden to only four points on 0-of-8 shooting in a 61-49 home win back on January 15th while Arizona State won the rematch 65-53 a month later. “We’re standing real high right now,” USC freshman DeMar DeRozan said after his team beat UCLA 65-55 on Friday night. “We’ve got to come out (Saturday) focused and prepared.”

USC is 23-9 ATS in its last 32 Saturday games.
The UNDER is 10-3 in USC's last 13 neutral site games.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 56 (UNDER - Total Play of the Day)

Arizona State (-2, O/U 119): The Sun Devils missed out on the NCAA tournament last season but are a lock to get into the Big Dance this year, and they will be playing an opponent that must win to get in. Pac-10 Player of the Year James Harden had 24 points and nine rebounds in a 75-65 win over Washington on Friday, as Arizona State blew a 21-point lead but recovered nicely for a double-digit victory. “I think it’s important for us to stay in the moment, enjoy the moment and be ready for (Saturday),” said Arizona State head coach Herb Sendek.

Arizona State is 8-3 ATS in its last 11 games overall.
The UNDER is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings.

Key Injuries - G Jamelle McMillan (groin) is doubtful.

PROJECTED SCORE: 58



Big East Title: #18 Syracuse vs. #5 Louisville [ESPN | 9 PM ET]

Syracuse: Only two teams have ever won four games in four days to capture the Big East tournament title, but the Orange accomplished that feat three years ago when Gerry McNamara led them on an improbable run. This year's squad seems far more unlikely to repeat it considering seven overtimes have been played in the team's previous two games. “When you play six overtimes, that’s unbelievable,” Syracuse guard Eric Devendorf said. “It’s mentally draining and for us to come out tonight against a great West Virginia team and go to another overtime and come out on the winning side is just cool for our team.”

Syracuse is 7-0 SU & ATS in its last 7 games overall.
The OVER is 7-2 in Syracuse's last 9 games overall.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 60

Louisville (-7, O/U 132): The Cardinals have a lot to play for here, as they have never won the Big East tournament and can possibly earn a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament with another victory. Their defense has been unreal lately, totaling at least 11 steals in four straight games and blocking twice as many shots as their opponents during that stretch. Louisville held Syracuse to 35 percent shooting at the Carrier Dome in a 67-57 win there back on January 25th, one of nine straight victories following a 56-55 loss to UNLV on January 31st.

Louisville is 4-1-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.
The UNDER is 4-1 in Louisville's last 5 games overall.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 72 (Side Play of the Day)
