Hello,
We almost had a perfect night. Little Rock could not get us the extra basket that we needed. Still, great work was done by the Lightning and Bears. I don't see anything favorable tonight, so we are just going to take it off. March is crazy, so we can just chill and prepare. Maybe, you can watch Kevin Shattenkirk's debut for your Nation's Capitals. It will be fun. February was a rough month for us here at the Daily Three, but it does not deter us. It motivates us to get better and wiser. March will be our best month yet. So with that, enjoy the last day of February, and we will see you when the calendar turns.

Daily Three 2/27
Hello,
I apologize for yesterday's outing. It was one of those days that I didn't love anything but thought there were some leans that would work. It didn't, and La La Land didn't win. I'm sure Moonlight is a phenomenal movie and a worthy winner. Tonight, we are going fight hard to get those units back. The NHL and NCAAB will hopefully get us there.
NHL
Ottawa Senators at Tampa Bay Lightning -1.5, +165 (10 units wagered, 16.5 units won)
The Tampa Bay Lightning made a gigantic decision yesterday. Instead of sticking with their veteran tender that took them to the Stanley Cup, GM Steve Yzerman has decided that youngster, Andrei Vasilevskiy will be the man that will stop pucks for the Bolts in the future. Vasilevskiy is a highly touted prospect that has always been expected to do big things in the NHL. He has just always had Bishop in front of him. In the team's first game since the big shakeup, I am expecting Vasilevskiy to get a big confidence boost and shut down Senators team that is playing their third game in four days on the road. The Sens have failed to score more than two goals in a game thus far on their current road trip. This helps Vasilevskiy's case even more. Lastly, the reunion of the vaunted "Triplets" line (Nikita Kucherov, Tyler Johnson, and Ondrej Palat) has really sparked what has been an anemic offense for the most part season. Expect the trio to combine for a few tallies, as the Lightning blow out the Sens in Tampa.
NCAAB
West Virginia Mountaineers at Baylor Bears Pick Em' (10 units wagered, 9 units won)
I've been wrong about Baylor so many times that eventually I have to get it right. Everything must regress back to the mean. Baylor has had some tough losses the past couple of weeks, and I think they are ready to turn it around. In the previous game between these two teams a month ago, West Virginia was able to control the tempo of the game by causing turnovers and feeding off of a raucous Morgantown crowd. Tonight, the Bears should be able to control the ball and slow down the game. The energy from the crowd in Waco will definitely help them out too. Take the Bears as our fortunes with this squad should change for the better.
Georgia Southern Eagles at Arkansas Little Rock Trojans -3 (10 units wagered, 9 units won)
I don't know much about either of these schools. I do know that the Trojans upset Purdue in the big dance last year. Then, their coach got hired by UNLV, only to leave the school after a week, so he could be the new coach at Texas Tech. Weird stuff. Anyway, the reason I am going after this game is because it makes absolutely no sense. Georgia Southern is currently tied for second in the Sun Belt Conference with a 11-5 conference record and an 18-11 record overall. Arkansas Little Rock is an awful 4-11 in conference and 13-15 overall. The Eagles are currently rated 172 in the Kenpom, while the Trojans are at 240. Lastly, the Eagles are receiving close to 80% of ATS bets so far on this game. Despite all of this, the Trojans are currently 3 point favorites, and they opened up as 1 point favorites. So, even though the Trojans have all of this going against them, they keep giving up points to the Eagles. This is clearly a situation where Vegas knows something that the general populace does not. I am not going to fall for their trap. I am going with the Trojans here, as we should be the few that prosper on the result of this game.

Daily Three 2/24
Hello,
Last night was quite the roller coaster ride. Each game had its doom and gloom, but also peaks and valleys. It ended up with a huge lock of the month coming through, Loyola (Marymount) continuing to dominate me, and the Clippers blowing a huge lead and then making the most miraculous spread comeback, honestly, in betting history. Here is the play-by-play of the game last night. Look at the last minute and a half of the fourth quarter. It is absolutely insane. Since last night's blog was so huuuuuuge, this edition will be a bit subdued. Nonetheless, three picks from all across the sports landscape that is guaranteed to get your weekend off to a good start.
NHL
Edmonton Oilers at Washington Capitals -1.5, +150 (10 units wagered, 15 units won)
You know how I feel about our Nation's Capitals when they play at home. They usually score a lot and don't let the other team score at all. I am a little concerned that Caps may be down two defensemen tonight, but it won't stop the Caps from scoring. They haven't played at home in two weeks, so the Phone Booth will be rocking. Take the easy money and go with the Caps.
NBA
Boston Celtics at Toronto Raptors -4 (10 units wagered, 9 units won)
The Raptors are receiving sharp money. That is all.
NCAAB
Oakland Grizzlies at UW Green Bay Phoenix Pick em' (10 units wagered, 9 units won)
I'm going to list why I like the Phoenix in numerical order.
1. Phoenix is probably one of the cooler nicknames in college sports today.
2. I lived in Wisconsin for five years and was a part of the UW school system.
3. Charles Cooper can ball.
4. The Phoenix are ninth fastest team in the country in terms of tempo. They are going to get up and down the court, and it is going to be fun to watch.
5. The Phoenix are going to win.

Daily Three 2/23 (The Late Night Hammer Edition)
Hello,
Last night did not go as planned and showed us that there are no locks in this business. The Panthers lost as huge favorites, and UC Irvine missed nine free throws in a game that they definitely should have won. Despite the disappointment of last night, we got a special night ahead of us. We got a little bang bang, bang bang, bang bang. That's right, all three picks will be late night hammers that will give us great news as we wake up tomorrow morning. But wait, I have even more incredible news. The vaunted lock of the month will also be coming up with our last pick. Yeah, this is our most action-packed edition of Daily Three yet, and it is coming at you, right now!
NBA
Los Angeles Clippers +12.5 (10 units wagered, 9 units won) at Golden State Warriors
The NBA is back from its week long break, and we get the second half of the season started with a simple contrarian, sharp money. Currently, the Golden State Warriors are receiving 82% of ATS bets, yet the line has actually gone down a point from 13.5 to 12.5. Obviously, the public loves the Warriors, and Chris Paul is not playing tonight. It makes sense that 4/5th of the bets would be on the Warriors. So what exactly is the public missing here? Well, the All-Star break is going to have an impact on these players. These teams haven't a played a real game (the All-Star game does not count) in a week, so it is going to be a little sloppier than usual, and there will probably be more missed shots than usual. Sloppy play and below average shooting leads to less scoring, which ultimately results in closer games. Also, when you consider that the shooting may not be up to par tonight, would you be more comfortable with the team that depends on getting most of its scoring from its big guys inside, or would you prefer the team that shoots from far and away? For tonight, I'm going with the team that scores in the paint and that would be LA, led by Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. I'm not saying that the Clippers will win this game, but I think factors, like sharp money and rust, will keep this game closer than most people think.
NCAAB
San Francisco Dons -2 (10 units wagered, 9 units won) at Loyola Marymount Lions
Roll Dons Roll. That was the motto of one of my rivals in high school (Ironically named Loyola ). Loyola was the one school that my teammates and I never defeated in high school (I am pretty sure). Every lacrosse and soccer game ended in L. I always had rough thoughts about a Don even though, I never knew what it was (according to the USF website, it is meant to represent a distinguished gentleman is Spanish). Despite my consistent struggles with the Dons, one night, I ran into a pick that I could just not resist. The San Francisco Dons were favored by -10.5 over the Pepperdine Waves. The Kenpom numbers were ridiculous, and San Fan was just a great basketball team. In my head, I wondered how I could support a team named the Dons? But then I realized, you have to use your head in this business, not your heart. So, I did just that, and the Dons and I have never looked back. San Fran is ranked considerably higher in the Kenpom than Loyola Marymount, and the Dons won their only previous meeting. Today, I will finally defeat Loyola (Marymount), and I suggest you all join me in this great endeavor.
LOTM: USC Trojans at Arizona Wildcats -8 (20 units wagered, 18 units won)
Yep, it is time for the Lock of the Month. I'm sure you are intrigued by the pick. I am taking a pretty considerable favorite that only has three less losses than their opponent. So, what I do know that has me leaning so heavily towards the Wildcats? I only have one factor for the Trojans, and it is a fairly startling statistic. The USC Trojans are the luckiest team in the country. I am not saying that based on watching them play, or what talking heads say on the college basketball post-game shows. There is an actual statistic that proves this. As I have mentioned before, the Kenpom has its own category for how lucky or unlucky a team is throughout the course of the season. Essentially, it ranks a team's actual record against what the Kenpom's numbers and analytics perceive their record should be. So, Kenpom is essentially saying that USC has been able to overcome their lack of efficiency in comparison to their opponents to pull out wins that they otherwise should not have gotten. This is statistic is useful, because the Trojans should eventually regress back towards the record that the numbers state they should have. So, Arizona was already a better team than the Trojans when you didn't include how lucky USC really is. When you add the luck factor, you begin to clearly see that the Wildcats are just a superior team. So, what exactly makes the Wildcats so good? For one, they currently have 7 foot Finnish projected lottery pick that can drain threes at will, Lauri Markkanen. They have another 7 foot Serbian monster that protects the rim as well as any other big man in the land, Dusan Ristic. Oh, and don't forget the talented guard, who literally has "scorer" written in his DNA, Alonso Trier. Also, they definitely have the best current coach who has never made a final four, Sean Miller. He should definitely be in the talk for Coach of the Year with Scott Drew, Mick Cronin, and Mark Few, amongst others. The fact this team only has three losses this year even though they went through a stretch this season where a quarter of their team was either hurt or suspended is absolutely remarkable. This team does not get much love, because they play their games very late in the night. Despite this hindrance to the East Coast college basketball fan, this team goes out on a nightly basis and wins. Tonight, they get to play a team that they have already beaten and will be looking to build momentum heading into their big showdown with UCLA on Saturday night. Also, let us not forget #bigcatweek. Don't sleep on the Wildcats tonight, and lock in this big bet as I am expecting big things in Tucson tonight.

Daily Three 2/22
Hello,
Half of the sharp money hit last night as the Tigers of Clemson pulled off a miraculous victory in Blacksburg. Not much help else where, but we continue to move as we gear up for more college hoops and NHL action.
NHL
Edmonton Oilers at Florida Panthers -145 (10 units wagered, 6.8 won)
Yes I know, this isn't the sexiest pick ever. But we are looking to win units no matter the appearance of the bet. The Panthers have recovered from the injury bug and are on a serious tear. They have won 5 straight (3 of them against the Pacific Division, and hey what do you know, the Oilers are in the Pacific) and 8 of their last 9 games overall. This is pretty remarkable turnaround for a team that fired their coach earlier in the season. The Oilers are incredibly far away from home (2,990.4 m) and are playing the second of a back-to-back set, in which they got rocked last night by the Lightning. Also, we shall not forget that it is #bigcatweek. We are just going to get some units with the Panthers in Sunrise tonight.
NCAAB
Providence Friars +7 (10 units wagered, 9 units won) at Creighton Blue Jays
This is strictly a contrarian, sharp money pick. The Blue Jays are currently receiving 81% of ATS bets yet the line has dropped a half point from 7.5 to 7 since the line opened. We know that Creighton is just not the same team since Maurice Watson Jr. tore his ACL, and Providence is currently trying to stay on the bubble. Creighton has essentially locked up a bid in the tourney and are just trying to weather the storm until March. I think Ky Cartwright and Co. will go into Omaha and give Creighton a game tonight.
UC Irvine Anteaters -4 (10 units wagered, 9 units won) at Cal State Fullerton Titans
Bang bang. Bang bang. Bang Bang. The late night hammer is back with some Big West action. These two school are more fit for a baseball diamond, but tonight, they will be meeting each other on the hardwood. The Anteaters have taken control of the Big West and have also taken care of me. Sometimes, you just have to roll with a good thing, and i will continue to do that with the Anteaters. Numbers wise, the Anteaters are 135 spots higher in the Kenpom than the Titans and are also way more efficient on both sides of the ball. There is really nothing here that has me scared of the Titans, and I think the Anteaters will come out on top in this battle of Cali schools.

Providence Friars +7 (10 units wagered, 9 units won) at Creighton Blue Jays
This is strictly a contrarian, sharp money pick. The Blue Jays are currently receiving 81% of ATS bets yet the line has dropped a half point from 7.5 to 7 since the line opened. We know that Creighton is just not the same team since Maurice Watson Jr. tore his ACL, and Providence is currently trying to stay on the bubble. Creighton has essentially locked up a bid in the tourney and are just trying to weather the storm until March. I think Ky Cartwright and Co. will go into Omaha and give Creighton a game tonight.
UC Irvine Anteaters -4 (10 units wagered, 9 units won) at Cal State Fullerton Titans
Bang bang. Bang bang. Bang Bang. The late night hammer is back with some Big West action. These two school are more fit for a baseball diamond, but tonight, they will be meeting each other on the hardwood. The Anteaters have taken control of the Big West and have also taken care of me. Sometimes, you just have to roll with a good thing, and i will continue to do that with the Anteaters. Numbers wise, the Anteaters are 135 spots higher in the Kenpom than the Titans and are also way more efficient on both sides of the ball. There is really nothing here that has me scared of the Titans, and I think the Anteaters will come out on top in this battle of Cali schools.
