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!!!!

Bondi dismisses charges in Dr. Moore prosecution!

"Thank you @AGPamBondi for listening to the voters in the end and not letting this trial drag on another week.

I want to thank everyone who pitched in making sure Dr. Moore didn't serve any time and is not a felon."

“The United States of America won’t stand for a socialist New York City, never mind the Upper East Side. And not to mention the real estate moguls who’ve fallen in love for the first time with the current mayor, Eric Adams. They view him as the best bet against the pro-Palestinian and socialist Mamdani, whose policies would be bad for business.”

“Already, fundraisers are being held in the Hamptons and uptown, with high rollers writing checks and making pledges to support Adams, who looks as if he just won the lottery. Dapper and smiling while shaking hands, Adams is the sudden beneficiary of New York City’s richest residents.”
