    Week of 3–17 - 3-24 betting thread.

    Been posting plays for 2 full weeks, prior to that I probably posted less then ten plays in my 15 months on SBR. People have commented that complete records should be posted so here is the breakdown. FULL DISCLOSURE I DO NOT CLAIM TO BE SHARP. I AM PROBABLY ABOVE AVERAGE BUT AM CURRENTLY RUNNING GOOD.

    Complete breakdown of all plays.......

    week 1 + 8.0 units Avg bet 1.69 units
    week 2 + 32.7 units avg bet 2.19 units

    1 unit bets 20.4%
    1.5 unit bets 23.8%
    2 unit bets 29.9%
    2.5 unit bets 9.1%
    3 Unit bets 8.5%
    3.5 unit bets 5.1%
    4. Unit bets 2.7%
    4.5 unit bets. .003%. ( 1 bet)
    No wagers over 4.5 units

    The reason I have posted unit bet info is people who bet one unit and then ten units have, whether intentionally or not a very misleading win rate and ROI. I have decided to make a weekly thread because it was suggested by crusty and it is a good idea. Week one I did a daily thread, a weekly is much better. Back to the unit issue, I personally can count on one hand my 10+ unit bets in my life and I have been gambling 25 years.


    Hate to go against JJ because I like him and he is handicapping really well but I think he so off in this one. I am a clipper fan but fade then sometimes and bet them others. I have a pretty good read on clippers because u watch them so closely . Okay here's today's plays

    All plays 1.5 units

    Half one Clippers -2
    Half one under 217.5
    clippers -4.5
    Clippers half under 111.5


    Good luck everyone

    Hate to be against you later in Denver. Normally I would say let me get my totals and first half clippers and you get the Denver cover so we both are some money. However you have ML and my clippers need the win so we are butting heads today.

    A unit signifies an amount someone bets. It varies for everyone. If you bet 10-50 a game you might make a unit ten dollars. So if you say you are making a five unit bet, which would be 50 dollars, people know its a large wager for you. It is helpful because it tells you how much someone likes a bet without them divulging their actual cash amounts, which some people do not want to do. I have posted over 225 bets and all have been between 1-4 units except one bet which was 4.5 units. I bet 4 units less then 3% of the time so people know if I say 4 units I really like the bet. I hope that helps


    Thank you for the kind words JJ, Cuse, i hope you both have a great march.

    8-4 for the week all wagers have been 1.5 units so +5.4 units for week. Typo posted +5.6 yesterday.

    621 cal poly under 129 1.5 units
    629 under half one 59. 1.5 units

    Like a couple games a little deeper at 6pm. Each of these plays is 2 units . I will very possibly be betting at half as well. I have a feeling SMU and the rest of conference will have a weak post season. Good luck all

    623 Iowa h1 -1

    633 uc irvine + 10
    633 over. 131.5

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^

    hey what's up Mitch, thanks for the kind words. I hate to see bruin get so agitated when he has posted winner after winner for people. Good luck with your games this week and more importantly with the other matter you discussed. Good luck bro



    I will have spot plays of course but also I am fading all big ten teams and betting all Atlantic 10 teams in round 1. I feel these two conferences betting lines as a whole do not reflect the conferences real abilities.

    Each atlantic 10 straight wager for game and half is for 2 units . There are 10 total wagers
    Also bet .5 units on each of these full game lines in a RR parlay only using 2/3 team combos. This is 20 total bets 10 two team parlays and 10 three team parlays units risked total on these parlays is ten units.
    I was going to also do these on moneyline parlays but I had my first losing day in a week yesterday so I am being cautious

    Dayton +6.5
    H1 Dayton +3
    St joes +5.5
    H1 st joe +3
    GW +3
    GW h1 +1.5
    VCU. -6.5
    VCU h1 -3.5
    St. Louis -3
    St. Louis h1 -1.5

    Wanted to include umass but game was not up yet with my office. Will be fading big ten in morning. Have a great tournament everyone

    Fading big ten game and half. 2 units on each play except Dayton game since I bet it previously, betting that game one more unit each now (so 3 total on each) Also betting a round robin only the 2/3 parlays which equals twenty bets at .5 units per bet.


    Dayton +6.5 +3.5 1 unit each ( already have 2)
    wofford. +15. +9
    Delaware + 14.5. +8
    American. +14. +8
    Baylor. -3.5. -2

    Six plays game and half, 3 units on each. Also a RR parlay of 1 unit each way which totals 4 bets.

    Uw milwaukee +16.5. +9.5
    la Lafayette. +14. +8
    north carolina. -4. -2

    that's my entire early card, good luck everyone

    No problem JJ, at 100 a game you are betting just win 1200 in a row and it's yours.
