    MexicanStallion's Basketball All In Discussion Thread

    Over the past few days I have been making a daily thread asking posters for their best bet of the day. I have had good success with all the great suggestions. I have decided that I am going to just make one thread and track the actual bets that I choose. I am not going all in though. I just want the feel of going all in. This are more than 1 and 2 unit bets I have been making, so they are heavier or stronger bets you can say.

    I am asking for bets to range from -250 odds and lower. It is easy to pick -1000 ML, but I want to have a chance to get a decent amount back. Any basketball bets I would like to hear them. A spread? Total? Chalk ML parlay?

    If you had to go all in on one bet, what would it be?

    Dallas and Hornets tomorrow, both playing weak teams while trying to move up the table.

    Thanks for your suggestions. Dallas ML seems easy enough. Need something to go with it though.

    No faith in Butler tonight? That whole section of my bracket was finished off long ago.

    I give Wisconsin the slight edge is basically every area of the game...shooting, 3 point shooting, defensively, rebounding, ect... Two key stats which may get overlooked are FT shooting and turnovers committed. Wisconsin are by far the #1 team in all of college basketball in both those categories. The petty points for/against coming from those two stat categories add up over the course of a game. Butler take a lot of 3 point attempts, I think their only chance to win this game is if they get hot from 3 point range.

    I like SD State, I think the Kemba show ends tonight. I don't think UCONN has the players to keep up with this scrappy SD State team. They play great team defense and are long and athletic, they have only lost 2 games all season and they both were to Jimmer and BYU which is the only thing that worries me a little. I think SDSU finds a way to shut down Kemba and escapes with basically a home win. I also like a ml parlay with Duke, Dallas and Hornets. Good luck tonight on whatever you decide to play.

    Thanks for your suggestions. You have given me solid plays. I would like to see San Diego State win, since I had that match up in my bracket.

    Don't feel bad. I'm glad you shared your plays. You can't be perfect all the time. Thanks for the plays. I was liking Marquette some, so that could be a bad sign.

    Don't know about all-in but I am buying 3 points with the Sixers to get them at +11 (-170).
    This is a HUGE game and Doug Collins is IMO the coach of the year.
    He knows how to get his guys ready, and this may be the Sixers' last shot to catch Atlanta for the #5 seed.
    Miami already beat the Sixers twice this year.

    Not saying the Sixers win, but I gotta believe they will keep it close.

    BTW I am a Sixers fan and going to watch this game tonight, so may be a bit irrational, but I do like this bet.

    I would probably consider that play except I don't care for Ohio State. I feel like I would be rooting for them to lose despite them being in my bracket still.

    Thanks for sharing your play. The NBA has been kind to me the past few days overall.

    Thanks for the two suggestions for the day. Disappointing that nobody posts here anymore opposed to when I had a daily thread. I passed on the games so far.
