Crick's Picks: NCAA Tournament "Sweet 16"
These are not Sportspicks "Recommended Picks"
- Not a terrible showing last weekend, but we could easily be in a much better spot going into the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament. We took some DISGUSTING BEATS in the first two rounds, and it's still stinging a little bit. However, I'm gonna choose to believe that... WE got ALL of our "Run Bad" out of the way already!! Nothing but SMOOTH SAILING from here on out!! Hey... One can DREAM right?!?!? In this post, I'll give you guy's my picks for Thursday and Friday's slate. I'll also give a "ML Parlay", as well as a few "Future's" bets that I like going into this weekend. I wanna say GOOD LUCK to EVERYONE!! Let's get EXCITED for a BIG TIME WEEKEND!!!!

We still have 2 "Pre-Tourney" NIT Picks alive for a JUICY RETURN!! If you placed a bet on either of these two teams.... You're probably getting some pretty decent "Cash Out" options at this point. If you're being offered +500 (or more) on your original wager... I would personally go ahead and CASH THE WIN!! Now, that's totally up to YOU, but anytime we can get +500 or more on our original wager... That's a NICE WIN!!
-
Vanderbilt +1500
-
Wisconsin +2200
Let's get those POSITIVE VIBES flowing, and gear up for a BIG WEEKEND!!
WE DESERVE IT!!!
Good Luck and Good Gamblin!!!!

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!!!!
