0.5-Unit Play. Take #722 Seton Hall (+4) over West Virginia (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 26)

0.5-Unit Play. Take ‘Under’ 149.5 West Virginia at Seton Hall (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 26)

0.5-Unit Play. TEASER: Take #722 Seton Hall (+9) over West Virginia (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 26) AND Take ‘Under’ 154.5 West Virginia at Seton Hall (3:30 p.m.)
Kind of an interesting spot here. West Virginia is the better team. But Seton Hall is a squad that I, like a lot of others, have some high hopes for. They have not proven a thing yet this year and have neither played, nor beaten anyone. But I think that they can come to play here. West Virginia is banged up. Truck Bryant is 50-50, Joe Mazzulla is out and hasn't been doing anything anyway, and Casey Mitchell may be out as well. Those are three contributors. The rest of the WVU players are bigs. There is no one to handle the ball and run the offense for the Mountaineers. They will be fine, I suspect, and will still manage to score. But it's an afternoon game the day after Christmas. Is either team going to be at its best? The lack of guard play for WVU, the exceptional WVU defense, the awkward timing of the game, the letdown situation for the Mountaineers (after a nice home win over Ole Miss), and the potential of the Pirates makes this a decent play. This is also a revenge spot after a 30-point beat down in West Virginia last year. Seton Hall is 9-3 ATS in its last 12 conference games and they are 11-5 ATS overall. They have a killer schedule coming up, with games against two Top 10 teams (WVU and SU), followed by a perfect flat spot (at Virginia Tech), and then tough games against Connecticut and Cincinnati. I think they're going to cover two of those games. I'm willing to work a little chase here and see if we can't come out on top. I think we get two of three today and turn a profit today and I'm looking forward to a couple more scores from the Pirates over the next two weeks.

People should wait to see if Ferringo got his groove back yet, he was ice cold the past week

12-26-09 11:37 AM

Gonna wait and see how he does the next few days first

1st and Ten · 12-26-09 12:04 PM

Not even close to getting into his groove at this point

Completely agreed. I made some $$$ during his hot streak but has given most of it back.

When are you guys going to wake up and make some huge money fading this idiot.

well you know how it goes. you start fading someone and they start winning. i am just staying away during this deep freeze. i got off the train after the first 3 losing days.

12-26-09 07:17 PM

Ferringo has been wrong on virtually every game he has released the past week... if you had played the fade, you would be up a massive amount. he just hit a bit of a downfall... I think people would just hate to start fading him at any time because he is one of the best college basketball handicappers in the nation and he's proven that in the past... he just got to get over this little cold streak

goldengreek · 12-26-09 07:30 PM

The best ?

This guy is square as hell and sux

badweiser · 12-26-09 08:23 PM

Fade equals cash

12-27-09 07:40 AM

Not only does the guy give out bad picks......but he gives out bad info on a consistent basis. For someone that this is his so-called "job", you would think he would at least take the time to get his info right. All 3 guys on wvu that he listed as out or unlikely to play.....all 3 guys played. Same thing happened last week on the dayton-appie state game. He said 2 starters were out for dayton and they both played. This guy is a joke.

12-27-09 08:36 AM

I'm from NJ and begrudingly took the Hall. Hazell hits a bomb 3 to tie from 2ft inside of half court to force overtime. Unbelieveable shot. Hall should have covered.

12-27-09 10:39 AM

Greetings,

Hope everyone has had a solid holiday. The tough slide continues, that's for sure, and I feel like that Seton Hall game was a perfect microcosm of my last few weeks. Tough, tough times. I would make that same wager 100 times out of 100 and I still know we were on the right sides, but that's why it's gambling. Guess if it were easy anyone could do it, eh? But still well, well up on the year and I think the pendulum will swing back the other way here soon enough. Let's go get 'em today and I think we'll manage a solid week.

Oh, and memo to the haters: you guys are hilarious. Keep that good stuff coming boys!

lucky888gunz · 12-27-09 10:55 AM

Good to see ya around Robert-- keep your head up!

Cannon · 12-27-09 10:57 AM

Robert you keep losing and we will keep it comming no problem

MidnightOil · 12-27-09 11:01 AM

Hey Ferringo, ty for joining in here. I saw a while back on your website that much of your profits on college hoops last year came on a big hot streak in the last month, at tournament time. Is that typical for you in the past to do your best at tournament time?

I'm not anywhere near as good as you at picking the games, but I almost always have one of my best months of the year at college hoops tourney time.

12-27-09 11:14 AM

Cannon, I have to say that I have been most disappointed by you. I remember going into forums a few years ago - I don't remember which specific forum - and I used to read some of your threads. You seemed like a level-headed guy that knew what he was doing and I actually used to have some respect for you.

Now I have seen that you're actually kind of a jerk. You are so quick to label me an idiot and a loser, yet you don't offer up any picks yourself and I see in your post history that this type of behavior is kind of common for you. You're kind of a dick. And that's a disappointment because, again, I was hoping to pick your brain a little bit and see if we couldn't "join forces". Apparently not. I kind of expected some of the ridiculous comments from some of the people that don't know what they are doing to begin with. But someone who seems like they have been "in the game" for awhile like yourself I guess I though would be the least bit cool. Apparently it is that important to you to come into these threads with my plays and tell everyone how dumb I am and, by extension, how "smart" you are for not following me. That, to me, is desperate and petty and, in a way, pretty funny to me. It's kind of the "sports talk radio" mentality and I can do nothing but shake my head and laugh.

Yeah, I've lost over the last few weeks. Does that not happen in gambling? Anyone never have a losing streak? No, just me? Interesting.

But here are the facts for the "faders" and the "haters" - through seven weeks of college basketball this year I AM UP +81 UNITS AND OVER $5,000 IN PROFIT FOR $100 BETTORS. And that is with one of the worst losing streaks of my career. So if you think you know more, by all means, play your own games. You think you are going to make money playing against me the rest of the year? Go for it. But the fact is that $100 bettors, since Feb. 8 of last year, are up around $12,000 from my college picks. When you factor in MLB, my other dominant sport, you're looking at nearly $20,000 in 11 months. So, again, by all means, fade away.

And Cannon, if that makes me "the worst you've ever seen" as you said in one of your other posts I want to find the "best you've ever seen". I'll pay for his picks.

12-27-09 11:27 AM

Scamdicappers, what are you talking about?

Truck Bryant is a STARTER that plays about 30 minutes per game. He played 13 in a game that went to OT.

Casey Mitchell played 11 minutes, his lowest output of the season.

Joe Mazzulla is the shell of the guy that he was last year. He played and chipped in all of two points.

Those three guys combined to play less minutes, score less points, and contribute significantly lower percentages of offensive output than they have at any time this year. So, actually, I would say I was 100 percent right in saying that they were banged up and wouldn't be as good.

And if you look, the only one of those three that I said was "out" was Mazzulla, who did nothing to impact the game. And it's not like I'm the team doctor. I'm going by what I read from sites that I trust. If they say someone is not going to play, and I confirm it through other sites and sources, I'm going to believe it and base my plays off of that. If a guy makes a turnaround or if a guy plays anyway it's not like that's my fault. It's not like I'm trying to lie or mislead. I mean, how does that benefit me?

Say you don't like the play - which, again, I don't see anyone in here saying that don't like the pick before the game; just after if it loses - but please don't accuse me of trying to pass off bad information like I don't spend every waking hour following this stuff. Give me a break.

good for u Ferringo

12-27-09 11:35 AM

Midnight Oil,

Thanks for the support. My college basketball seasons have followed a fairly predictable pattern over the last four years:

November to Dec. 31: no one has been better; just absolutely kill it this time of year and in my opinion the first six weeks of college basketball is by far, bar none the best time of the year to make a profit. I have reached over +100 Units at some point before Jan. 1 in each of the past four year.
Jan. 10-Feb. 10: this is usually my lull. This is normally when the regression takes over and I start giving some back. (This year it happened way early, which could be either really good or really not good; we'll see)
Feb. 11-Feb. 23: kind of big days and bad days mixed in, treading water.
Feb. 23-April: two of the three years was pure domination. the third year was the year my daughter was born (on Feb. 23) and that's a whole other story. But normally around the time of the Bracket Busters is when I get my groove back and that propels us into a great March. Generally after the Sweet 16 I slow my plays down to a crawl, as I generally feel the last few weeks of any season are the worst time to make a profit. And by then I am neck-deep in MLB stuff so I can hit the ground running there, that I back off a bit on hoops.

That's been it in each of the previous three years. Pure roller coaster. But the bottom line is that I come out on top and the clients that are with me from start to finish are rewarded. It's not always easy, not always orthodox, and not always pretty. But this is a zero-sum game and when you end the season with more than you started with it was a good year.

Keep up the good work and good luck. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Well said robert, these guys come in here fishing for free pick when they lost they get there underware in a bunch LOL. Keep up the hard work. People show be able to pick there on game or stop betting. I play some of your pick but only after I have looked at all the games then if me and u on same page I bet if not I just bet my play. I can't bet as many games as u I don't have the bankroll or the balls. I just try to find 1or 2 games a day that's all win or lose.

spippen · 12-27-09 02:13 PM

Robert, I do beleive your mlb Profit that you stated in an earlier post. Just curious, do you have an archive list of your baseball picks? I do quite well with mlb that last 5 Seasons, and I pick lots of dogs. Just wondering if you pick allot of dogs also or if you mix it all up with totals. Keep your head up, as you know it's not a sprint, it's a marathon, and the best always ginish strong in the end.

Ball Picker · 12-27-09 05:22 PM

Ferringo, I'm not going to read through all of your stuff since you're just 'laughing at the haters' but then spend the rest of your posts trying to defend your, ummm, 'reputation'. Yeah, most of these guys are morons and expect people to win every day. But I did see a place where you were trying to find somebody better than you in CBB, I do believe...?? Try going to covers.com CBB board and looking for a guy under the name 'UNCFOREVER'. If you want winning picks with smart units, he will be your man that is crushing you. Don't feel bad though, he does this every year and he is crushing everybody in the business. And you know what? His picks are free! So you don't even have to buy them. But I've been in the business and I admit I wouldn't be up 81 units in CBB right now, so hopefully you get back on track. That being said, I don't think mingling with your customers on a message board, especially during a huge losing streak, is the smartest thing to be doing. The ONLY reason I can see as to why you are doing it is to attempt and save face and not lose followers. Yes, I know how the tout game works.
