    Kid's Ball, Opening Day 2025

    I'll update this with last year's record when I get some time to do a little research later this afternoon.

    For now, I remember this much (and just double checked last year's post to make sure.) The Asterisk Play performed as usual on opening day for a 3-1 Fade.

    I made the mistake of laying off of it until I could see some data accumulated to see if it worked in college hoops.

    Not waiting this season, I'm jumping right in.

    Also, I had a WF play that produced a lot of spots from opening day until late December but then disappeared, no more games qualified in January to the rest of the season. It ended up at 12-29.

    I'm jumping on both models today to see if they start off hot again.

    * Spots

    K St -19
    UNLV -17
    (Both games also qualify for the WF1 spot below.)

    WF1 Spots

    Kentucky -31'
    Florida St -27
    Iowa -21' (correction 22')
    (Yes they're all chalky, the play is based on a high point spread differential so I'm going to get a lot of heavy favorites.)


    Normally I look for something to learn after the games have been played, something that may make me buy a play again or stay away from it the next time it pops up.
    Today I got a lesson before the games are played -
    DO YOUR COLLEGE HOOPS HANDICAPPING EARLIER!!!

    I did NBA, college and pro football early this morning, just got back to handicapping and did my college b-ball.
    And four of the five games saw the lines move against me, some by as many as 4-5 points.

    From now on, college basketball gets done first.

    LY I was 33-24 on my forum picks, 58%.

    Hit my number one goal of not doing any damage to my bankroll.

    Hit my number two goal of finishing the year with a profit, ANY profit.

    Hit 58%. It's not my third goal of 67% but in a season with as many games as college basketball, I don't expect to (technically I don't expect to hit 67% in any sport, it's very difficult to do. It's just the goal I strive for.)

    A season of almost 60 picks with a 58% W rate - I'll take it.
    NEXT!
