What's going on with Virginia? Might have to take them 2H. Are they trying not to make the dance?

I don't know. I made this bet at 18-8. They've been even worse since then.

Trying to figure out why they were -9 in the first place.

6-1, +5.75U today
287-258, -25.32U thread

Michigan choke job away from a perfect day.

Still can't believe I'm almost 30 games over .500 yet down over 25 units, but it is what it is. Bets of 7+ units or more speak for themselves this year; just awful. Going to have to make a big late-season charge; hope it ends up like college football.

NBA: 186-204, -11.24U
NFL: 106-85, +21.93U

Had some really ridiculous losses on Saturday. Just been one of those years. Have no choice but to keep looking forward though.

Take care.

**Speedy88** · 03-11-13, 03:10 PM

What are you liking today NC?

St Mary's is almost an auto play for me. Hoping I can get 6.5 or maybe even 7 at tip off.

Also leaning James Madison, Miami Ohio, Charleston, and Eastern Michigan and Maryland E Shore.

If you take every dog today in college, you probably hit at least 60-65%, they've been covering like crazy so far in the conference tourney's.

**mdunlap3** · 03-11-13, 03:57 PM

I took JMU, Western Kentucky, Davidson tonight so far...EMU looked good but I feel like something is up with that line, looks fishy.

Yeah, that's what makes me a little leery. Mondays are typically awful for me as well.

Haven't had a chance to look into the card a whole lot. In the process right now.

**No coincidences** · 03-11-13, 06:01 PM

Florida International +1.5 1H (2.2U to win 2)

**Speedy88** · 03-11-13, 06:04 PM

Yeah I'm going to keep it simple today and just going with St Mary's full game, and most likely 1H too. I don't know much about any of these smaller schools, just trying to get hints from lines, but nothing jumping out to me.

I'll probably play St. Mary's later.

FIU already getting their asses kicked -- LOL.

**Speedy88** · 03-11-13, 06:09 PM

I wonder if the under in Madison/Northeastern is a good play. Greek at 126.5, Pinny at 127, most books around 127.5 and 128. Oh well, too late now.

LOL -- wow. WKU's up 1 with 30 seconds left and a guard runs an FIU guy over. He makes the basket, but instead of an offensive foul, it's a three-point play. WKU wins the half by 2. Unreal.

**No coincidences** · 03-11-13, 07:20 PM

FIU +7 live (2.2U to win 2)

Chasing with these fvckers.

**No coincidences** · 03-11-13, 07:59 PM

St. Mary's +7 (2.2U to win 2)
St. Mary's/Gonzaga 1H under 63 (1.1U to win 1)

Added two units to the Gaels right before tip. Let's go.

**mdunlap3** · 03-11-13, 08:47 PM

JMU and Davidson...2 big fattys!!!

**No coincidences** · 03-11-13, 09:39 PM

Debated between the side and the total; picked the wrong one, and then went with the wrong one on top of that (1H instead of game under). Unreal.

I hate Gonzaga. Literally down over 20 units on their games alone this year.

Yeah I bet St. Mary in all 3 games and came out 1-2, but took a bigger loss tonight on them. Luckily I had 2nd under to get some of it back. I cant wait until this Zags team guessed bounced by a team with some interior Defense where Olynyk and cant just dip his shoulder and get all these bs and 1's. I like Mark Few as a coach, but just not a believer ofthis team getting past sweet 16. Wouldnt be surprised if they lost 2nd game depending on who the match up is

**Speedy88** · 03-11-13, 10:16 PM

Damn tough break Coin. Played full game Under and the 2H under. Pinny hanging 72.5 over juiced while most other books at 73.

Just fade the Zags once they play a good team in the tournament and you'll get some of your money back.

Did you notice what happened on the JMU/Northeastern total you were talking about earlier? Look it up (both game and 2H).

And then the end of the Iona/Manhattan game just took the cake. These small-school totals and sides are so rigged it isn't even funny.

Speedy - you read into line movement waaay too much man. Its all i ever see coming out of your posts.

I actually looked at how the Zags faired vs teams from good conferences this year, and was very impressed. I am likely taking them deeper into my bracket then originally planned but still not likely for a final four.

vs Okl (win 25) - Neutral
@ Wash St (win 2)
vs Illinois (lose 11)
vs KState (win 16) - Neutral
vs Baylor (win 7)
@ Okl St (win 1)
@ Butler (lose 1)

why would you feel fading them in the ncaa tournament would be profitable?

Wow. Just looked at the Play-By-Play for the JMU game, so glad I didn't play that under, I would have been pissed. 3 Northeastern dunks within a minute?

Yeah, but the under 128 (available at most books) hit.

Dex, the Zags have survived the first weekend once since 2006 and twice since '01. That's it.

these small school players are going no where after college so why not take a few dimes from local gangsters to shave points every game? lol

I like St. Louis. I'm not a fan of Kansas. Indiana's kind of a given. Creighton's a sleeper, but they don't play any D. This year is going to be a free-for-all.

**Hockey33** · 03-12-13, 12:20 AM

NC what do you think about wright state +7 tomorrow at valparaiso? This is game 3 between these two squads... Game is at valparaiso

**BigBoi** · 03-12-13, 11:53 AM

Here's my reasoning and check the back records and see if I'm off. In the NCAAs you have to have post players who can score, a pg to control the game, and defense who can get stops. In these big open arenas, jump shooting is difficult because the backdrop is not what the players are used to. Marquette, Louisville, IU, etc all have those three things that will make them lethal.
