    Not that sick of a call, but it is a smart leverage call, its similar to investing in stocks, buying low, then when stock goes up shorting yourself, that way you guarantee yourself a profit. Same thing in Forex Market known as Triangular Arbitrage.
    You limit your risk, slightly lower your return on original bet but also give yourself chance of 150% return, I don't do it as much as I should but it is a very smart move, when there is a nice middle to hit.

    Yea day 3 has been pretty good Depaul win and Charlotte looks good, I could really use 3-0 day, because a losing day has to be coming.

    Actually day one was the first game, day 2 was the last. It is a shame because that Butler over was solid, then they go 10 minutes without a field goal, when does that happen.

    Nothing substantial to give you here, McClinton in my opinion is probably the best player in the nation, I mean Blake Griffin is because of his body and althetisism but McClinton is the best basketball player. In a big game, where trips to the tourney are on the line, I have to go with the best player on the floor. Delaney is good for Vtech but supporting cast is very weak. Sorry no real insight, I guess this is more of a feeling play.

    Its about a 50-50 as with everything. Sometimes I wish I did it like yesterday when Texas Tech came back from a 22 pt deficit. That way I break even, but I did it other times and they end up covering the half too. I agree this way you do limit your losses, but take less of a profit

    It is true that it is 50 50 but you get that little extra percentage in your favor when you get the middle. Sometimes your team will cover the 2nd half and you give some back, sometimes your team will lose 2nd half and the game, and you won a little back, and sometimes your team will lose 2nd half but cover game, in which case you cash big, I think it is something like if you hit a middle 1 out of 5 times that you do this you end up making more money.

    McClinton looks like the worst starter in the ACC today.

    I know he played terribly they keyed on him and he couldn't handle it, I still think he is ridiculous talent though just an off day.
    Well another boring 2-1 day for me, this conservative stuff is so annoying I need more action but, I guess thats why I don't have access to an account after 3 plays my boy shuts me down, thank god for him. Recap of the week:
    Day 1 2-1
    Day 2 2-1
    Day 3 1-2
    Day 4 2-1

    I really didn't want to do it, but the addict is taking over, went through another guy and took Buffalo Moneyline, looks like I'm going to take 5 today unless they both hit, in which case I will take more.

    Yea watch the pattern though, if Wisconsin hits you will progressively see more and more plays that maybe I didn't even really like. Plays that I do like but haven't taken yet, and will not count for this thread purpose until I do take them are
    Tulsa +1
    West Virginia -6 I'm going to wait because I feel it will come down alot more,
    Baylor +4
    NBA
    Charlotte Over 183
