Minnesota is good, and I love Tubby Smith. But I like Duke to get it done here, Seth Curry takes over games.Comment -
1 win down, 2 to go. Congrats everyone on the Missouri game. Was a great game with lots of suspense.
I bet on the Duke game on Moneyline. And did only a half unit on the Gonzaga game (point spread is too big for Bovada to offer moneyline). I know Gonzaga been blowing everyone away, yet all the games we bet on are so close, hate to give away them kind of points.
Its not that I don't trust you and I know you know what you are talking about, just some sort of "gut" instinct kicking in.
Go Dukes. Hopefully will be another great game with them beating the spread. Thanks again for taking the time to pick and let us know what you pick. Much appreciated.Comment -
2 Wins down, only 1 to go!! Starting to wonder if Gwills has a crystal ball.
After them 2 close games, will be nice to see a "blowout". Hope everyone is having a great Turkey Day.
BTW, I bet tons of "Sharp" money was on that game.Comment -
Bald, glad I could help and that you are on the train! I am feeling it with these picks, and lets hope it continues! Gonzaga is a big spread, but when capping the game, I still liked it! I think they win by 20!Originally posted by bald_guyComment -
Also guys, I just got back from Tgiving festivities and I think I am gonna spend a little time looking over the total on this UNI - Louisville game at 8:30. I think this is a very intriguing number at 124.5 for the OVER but I want to cap it for a bit and make sure. Both teams play great D, but both teams are scoring 80+ per game. Lousville scores 79.7 and UNI scores a whopping 86 (albeit against some weaker teams). Lemme look at it and stay tuned....could be a potential big play.Comment -
Lock it in guys: Northern Iowa / Louisville OVER 124.5 (2 units)
YES THESE TEAMS DO HAVE GOOD DEFENSES, but I think that precisely is why this will go over. Louisville CREATES offense with their defense, for a lot of easy buckets. Also, go look at the stats from these two teams last game, they have really started to hit their stride from 3-point land. Louisville struggled their first two games, but finally hit some shots last game and lets be honest, so many guys on their team can shoot. Thankfully (get it?) Northern Iowa has plenty of shooters as well. They shoot a good percentage from 3. Guys thats just too many shooters on the floor in this game for the total to be in the 120's. I think this will also be a close game, which will add free throws as it gets to crunch time in late-game situations. Don't think we'll need it though!Comment -
Adding in Gonzaga / Clemson OVER 60.5 1H (1 unit) going for the kill guys!
Update for today:
Mizzou -2
Duke -4
Gonzaga -12
Lousville / UNI OVER 124.5
Zags / Clemson OVER 60.5 1HComment -
The 60.5 points sure isn't looking good. Either team can't make a basket.
Comment -
Thought Gonzaga would set pace and force Clemson out of half-court, but quite the opposite is happening. Still like Zags to get it going -12, and I think the other OVER bet will be fine.Originally posted by bald_guyThe 60.5 points sure isn't looking good. Either team can make a basket.Comment -
Watching them play, I got to wonder if both teams got everything they got bet on the "under". Its nearly comical.Originally posted by gwillsComment -
GAH! Are these guys in the Louisville game TRYING TO BRICK EVERY SHOT!??? Very frustrating...Comment -
Can't believe I'm sitting here saying I need 80 points in the second half. What a joke. Louisville is shooting 20%. I scouted this game very well too, teams are LAUNCHING open 3's at the rim just none of them will friggin' go in.Comment -
O well, that's the way it goes sometime. Luckily for me, I bet on the TCU/TEXAS football game for TCU and they just won. So even with these 3 losses, I should break even or end up in the black a small amount. Its all good.Originally posted by gwillsComment -
Blew on those last 3 games guys. Ridiculous game in Louisville - UNI and I am SO tempted to just not even count it as a loss. I scouted it perfectly, they literally just COULD NOT make a shot. Louisville shot an abhorrent percentage. Zags also had a chance to cover but fell just short.
I think i may steer clear of totals for a while until we get deeper into the season, seeing as I am pretty hot on picking sides right now. Just trying to get closer to 60%!
2-3 today for 19-15 overall. I'll be back with picks for tomorrow.Comment -
Here are my plays for tomorrow:
Creighton +1
Cincinnati -3.5
Providence -4
Michigan -4
Creighton line is off in my opinion. Yes, Wisconsin plays good D, but Wisconsin struggled away from home with Florida, and Creighton likes to run and is high-octane in a similar fashion. There seems to be more talent on Creighton's side than with Wisconsin. The Jays play good D too and Wisconsin will struggle to score I think.
Providence is missing their best player in Vincent Council, but I still like them here in this spot. I LOOOOVE to bet on teams that run, run, run on offense when they are at home. It is so easy for teams like that to go on a run and just put the game away, and against Fairfield, I think Providence will be able to go on plenty of runs to put the game away. Henton is a great rebounder and good all-around offensive player, but Ben Cotton leads the charge and is a deadly shooter. I think the Friars win by 10+.
Iowa State is 4-0. But this will be their first game away from home. Cincinnati is VERY good. This team will be very similar to last years team. GREAT defense, and solid guards who can all shoot, with a dominant big guy down low. Mbodj will block shots, and I think will replace Yancy Gates well this year. Kilpatrick may be the best player in the big east. He draws so much attention, and it leaves Cashmere Wright, Jaquon Parker and others open for good shots. I'm not confident in Iowa State's ability to keep this close with the roster they have in their first game away from home. They don't have many players that stand out to me this year.
Michigan is the better team. K-State is a good team, but Michigan has too many scoring options. People don't realize that they actually didn't shoot that well from 3 against Pitt. If they could have made shots, that game wouldn't have been as close. Not sure KSU is ready to contend with a team like this.Comment -
Add in:
Northern Iowa +2
Clemson -1Comment -
Northern Iowa +1½
Cincinnati -4½
Creighton +1
Providence -4½
Michigan -5½
Clemson -1½
My picks got locked in as above (bovada only allows the late line). Do you think I'll still get to cash any?Comment -
Also leaning towards Oregon +11.5 and Missouri +5.5, but not sure yet. Gonna take a closer look...
**JUST GONNA STAY AWAY AND WAIT FOR THE CREIGHTON GAME***Comment -
Sounds like a good idea. Not good to ruin a winning night. Even with my odds, I'm at 4-1 tonight, along with you guys!! Looking forward to Creighton game.Originally posted by gwillsComment -
Dude bald guy you need to get on 5dimes! Seems like my lines are always a point or so better than yoursComment -
I looked into it. Don't like how you need to confirm all that information to get a payout. Bovada lines are only available late. So if line moves for the better, it will have better, or vice versa. For some reason, they must feel they make more money to only offer the late line. Which does cut me out of getting an early line and also makes me have to keep checking to get to bet at all, instead of betting and forgetting about it.Originally posted by gwills
Other then that, seems to work great however. Web and mobile interface and payout. If I get more serious will give 5 dimes a shot. Least tonight so far, the late lines worked as good as the earlier ones.Comment -
Saw Creighton at +1, pk and -1 today. Took 'em at +1 and pk. I hope they come through tonight.Comment -
going to join 5dimes start of next week.Originally posted by bald_guy
what do you need to confirm??Comment -

Bald guy, if you deposit / withdraw via a cash method ($$$gram or WestU) you don't have to send them anything. I've used them for 3 years and they have none of my personal info.Comment -
Creighton +1
Clemson -1
No. Iowa +2
Providence -4
Michigan -4
Cincinnati -4.5
5-1 today and 24-16 overall. Not a bad day! I'll take 5 out of 6 every day! I'll be back with picks for tomorrow later. May be a light day as I will probably just bet some football!
