Possible Best Bet
MARQUETTE (-11) 78 Illinois State 61
Marquette wasn’t too impressive in their season opening win last night, needing to come from behind to beat lowly Western Carolina 75-64 as an 18 point favorite. However, the Warriors are in a positive 64-29-3 ATS situation tonight, the same angle that provided an easy 3-Star win on New Mexico on Saturday. My ratings favor Marquette by 14 ½ points (the line opened at 14), but the line value is tempered a bit by the Warriors’ recent 0-10 ATS mark as a favorite of more than 9 points (9-20-1 ATS in 5 years under coach Crean). The general situation is actually more meaningful than the negative team trend, and Illinois State is just 4-12-2 ATS the last two seasons after a victory, so I’ll still favor Marquette to cover the number tonight – I just won’t make them a Best Bet unless the line keeps going down.
Upgrade Marquette to a 2-Star Best Bet if they become a favorite of 10 points or less.

Sorry to say this, but you are not believable. On one hand you say you have never had a losing season with him. Then you say you post when you can yet you don't pay for his picks. How can you play a whole season with him without paying anything? And if you do have access to his plays somehow why do you come on here asking for someone to post his plays?
