7-5, -0.9U today

If anyone can find a way to finish in the red from the games I picked, it's me. I felt like I should've had a monster day -- instead it's a bust. Again.

A UNI cover instead of a push and an Oklahoma cover instead of last-second loss and I'm up huge.

i went 8-4 in college today and lost .20u - ha....one of those days. gonzaga burnt me...

bos game 1, then dd on la game 2 if heat cover? huge public road fav's on national tv. cant be that easy for joe public...

No Coin for tomorrow

ken pom has

zaga by 24 books have them -19... fade the zaga 4.5 pt difference play the dons

columbia by 12 books have them -7. fade columbia 5 pt difference play cornell

florida by 26 books got mississippi state +20 ..6 pt difference playing state

north dakota state winning by 4, they are +2, 6 pt difference play south dakota state

siu edwardsville winning by 12, they are -7 5 pt swing play tennsseee martin

the plays are just hunches off what we spoke of early...

interesting to see how they do.. went thru out all games took all games with a 5 or 6 pt difference, one with a 4.5

too bad i didnt play these

dons covered

cornell won out right

miss state got smoked

south dakota state won by double digits

tennessee martin outright

so 4-1
with a 7 pt dog winning out right, and a 12 pt dog winning out right,

will have to keep checking these it seems

**ebbearsfb1** · 01-27-13, 10:01 AM

the ken pom plays for today

he has richmond winning by 2, they are +3.5, 5.5. swing take umass,

the other 2 arent as great

creighton winning by 15, southern illinois is + 11, 4 pt difference take southern illinois,

and canisius winning by 8, niagria is plus 4, 4 pt difference take niagara

feel most confident about umass, then southern illinois (home), niagara on the road

also richmond is coming the overtime game against vcu and it was a big win, could come out flat today

hope the info helps

**ebbearsfb1** · 01-27-13, 11:53 AM

southern illinois down to 10

umass up to -4

**tigerw1** · 01-27-13, 11:57 AM

Sadly, I did.

Not sure Dex. I don't really want to back either the C's or the Lakers. Might just wait and see how the first game goes and bet the second accordingly.

Thanks for the info ebb. Like I said, interesting.

**No coincidences** · 01-27-13, 12:09 PM

Iowa +2 (11U to win 10)
Indiana -9 (3.3U to win 3)

**No coincidences** · 01-27-13, 12:51 PM

Seton Hall +1 2H (3.3U to win 3)

Rutgers +8.5 (1.1U to win 1)

**No coincidences** · 01-27-13, 04:17 PM

Something about me betting big in college basketball this year that brings out the absolute worst in teams.

Iowa with 11 points in 18 minutes -- really?

**numismatist** · 01-27-13, 04:20 PM

I was on Rutgers too and that was a tough one. Epic collapse in the last 8 minutes.

**No coincidences** · 01-27-13, 04:42 PM

Illinois +6 (5.5U to win 5)

**No coincidences** · 01-27-13, 04:44 PM

Well guys, it's been fun. Time to shut this thread down. I've never had a longer, stranger streak of beats like this before, and frankly, it's not even fun to try and cap college games at this point. That's eight straight losses on 5+ unit plays that happened either in OT or by a single point. This one was both. Cheers.

Just stick with it. I was in the same position in nba.

**numismatist** · 01-27-13, 06:49 PM

Hope you change your mind, you're an asset to the board, even if you are on a cold streak. I am too and its frustrating as fukk, especially when they are bad beats.

**Dexter** · 01-27-13, 07:25 PM

coin - one thing i have done this season that has finally gotten me on track in this sport. ive eliminated going heavy on road favorites or road dogs in college hoops and football. once in a while i may take a road team for 2u max but thats it. all my heavy plays in college are home favorites.

its too much of an advantage with college kids going nutz in the stands....

**sarasmith** · 01-27-13, 08:45 PM

Why don't you just take the better team now and then?

Coin I don't get it... why don't you use money management? No reason to continue to chase

Stick to a 1-3x plays and when you get on a heater don't veer from it but I know you know this already

BOL

**Louisvillekid1** · 01-28-13, 02:52 PM

good luck on whatever you decide ,

Not chasing. Having an occasional 5-10 unit play -- or even more -- isn't out of the ordinary for me at all. I'm not betting any different than I would be if I were up 90 units.

Thanks LK. I honestly don't know what to do at this point. I've never had so many big plays lose in such excruciating fashion -- especially over the course of an entire month, without fail.

Yeah, nice hit there. You're right re: the Pac-12 -- probably best to quit while you're ahead.

The only reason I bet it was I KNOW my Buffs. They've been seriously undervalued that last three games. Had the ML +135 against WSU and layed -4 against Stanford. Cal was just another gimme. I figure the ATM is out of money now as odds makes realize they got their swag back. I expect the line to be pretty sharp against Utah next week and double digits.

**ebbearsfb1** · 01-29-13, 01:34 PM

Kenpom has 113 tennessee total.

Vegas has 119..

6pt difference play the over..

**No coincidences** · 01-30-13, 06:20 PM

Going to give this one more try. I'm giving myself until Sunday to make some significant headway. At the very least, faders get more material tonight:

Oklahoma +6.5 (4.4U to win 4)
Towson +2 (4.4U to win 4)
Seton Hall 1H +5 (4.4U to win 4)
Dayton +2.5 (3.3U to win 3)
Central Florida +2.5 (3.3U to win 3)
East Carolina +9 (3.3U to win 3)
Cincinnati 1H -6 (2.2U to win 2)
LSU +4.5 (1.1U to win 1)
Maryland +3 (1.1U to win 1)
