Crick's Picks: Props, Futures, and Best Bets for NCAA Tournament
These are not Sportspicks "Recommended Picks"
- What's Up Y'all?!?! In this post, I'll give you guy's my "Future's" picks for the teams I think have the "Best" value as far as winning the National Championship. Now, some of the teams I give in those picks, I honestly think have ZERO chance of actually winning the whole thing. However, that's not why I'm betting on them. Yes, I know I'm picking them to "Win It All".... But even if they just make a deep run in the tourney, you'll get "Cash-Out" options after each round, and it can be a juicy ROI (Return On Investment). So, keep that in mind when looking at these "Future's" Picks. 75% of the teams I pick to "Win it All", I will cash out at some point if given the "Right" Odds. I will also provide my "Prop" Picks, with things like: Exact Round to Lose, Region Winners, Team to make the Finals, and so on... I'll even give you the teams I think have the best value to win the NIT. Lastly, I'll give my "Best Bets" for the 1st Round of "The Big Dance".... Later tonight or tomorrow morning I'll have "Crick's Picks" up for ALL of tomorrow's ACTION!! We're less than 24 hours until tip-offs of the first games, so just wanna say... GOOD LUCK US!!
LET'S GET READY TO MAKE SOME DOUGH!!!!

What are your thoughts of Kash Patel being nominated to be the head of the ATF in addition to the FBI? Is that possible? Would the Senate go for this?
I am asking because from the video below by Jared @ Guns and Gadgets, it seems that it was leaked that Trump will officially nominate Kash Patel shortly.
Crick's Picks: NCAAB, NBA, & NHL - 2/22/25
We're BACK AT IT Folks!! It's been a few days since I posted my picks, due to the fact there wasn't a whole lot of action goin on around the Sports Universe for the last week... Well, let me rephrase that... There was a lot goin on, with All Star Breaks & the 4 Nations Tourney in Hockey, but even with College Hoops still rollin along... The betting options were limited to say the least!! However, Today... WE'RE BACK BABY, as we have a MASSIVE SLATE across all sports & I've got a MONSTER CARD!! My results will be posted below, and I'll include the 4 Nations Results, but they won't be factored into our overall numbers for NCCAB, NBA, & NHL because I want to keep all that separate since they weren't "Actual NHL Games"... Let's see if we can get this thing CRANKED BACK UP THE RIGHT WAY!! You & Your Beautiful Families STAY SAFE Out There!!! Good Luck, Good Gamblin, & Go Vols!!!!
