As always, Good Luck and Play Responsibly.

This is v11.0 of the 2025-26 edition of the Super 5. We’re re off to an OK start but the auxiliary actions must be better.
The premise of the Super 5 is to release my 5 best positions — which I bet myself with my own money — across College Basketball’s biggest leagues and in select action in the lower leagues.

LAS VEGAS — Here it is. A superb Saturday slate of quality College Basketball is live and I’m back after Holiday Hiatus to deliver winners on my Top 5 positions — the Super 5 — for the Saturday CBB betting board, including the world-famous Potency Play and Top Choice. Let’s get down to business. Here’s the deal for the Saturday Super 5:

v10.0 + YTD Super 5 results.

2TM 6PT TSR. My standard. You can find them in more places than you think. These were placed at my point of numeric satisfaction, whether it be overnight or early morning lines.

🏀: 2TM 6PT TSR

TENNESSEE +11.5

ARIZONA-1.5

Pretty Straightforward: I’ll move the Volunteers up and the Wildcats down.

Again, the points just mean more in my hands. Although I acknowledge it has been an icy start to the term with these. I’ll do better. Know me late.

YTD: 1-4

🏀: UTAH STATE (-1.5) at Boise State

I passed on the (insert) to focus on other positions.
