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!!!!

Crick's Picks: MLB - 6/3/25
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.... CAN WE PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE PLAY SOMETHING BESIDES BASEBALL?!?!?! Yesterday very well may have been the WORST INDIVIDUAL DAY I'VE EVER HAD since I started releasing "Crick's Picks"!! I've gotta go "Back to the Drawing Board" when it comes to the Diamond, because it's been DEVASTATING the last few days!! I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL OF YOUR FEEDBACK, in recent days, and please know that it DOESN'T FALL ON DEAF EARS!! I understand that I'm getting a little "too cute" when it comes to trying to find VALUE in Baseball, and I probably need to revert back to "Occam's Razor" & know that... The simplest explanation is probably THE BEST!! I probably will start laying a little more "juice" when it comes to the MLB, because I've been HOOKED countless times now trying to get GREEDY for the value!! 100% OF NOTHING IS STILL NOTHING CRICKETT!!!! We'll see how it goes moving forward, but as I've told y'all NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE NOW.... Your BEST BET is probably just to FADE my Baseball plays & STACK YOUR BREAD!! However, I know some of you are LOYAL TO THE VERY END & I appreciate that more than y'all could ever know... BUT... There's a FINE LINE between being LOYAL and being FOOLISH, so REAL TALK.... TREAD LIGHTLY with my Baseball Picks, because I'M ...
