In my opinion Pitt, and you know what they say about opinions....you would be better suited finding a solid early play, and then a late play. Win the early then go after the late. I am in no means an expert, just the parlays(which I do play) are great when they hit, but hitting seems few and far between.

Best of luck to you today. Too bad our picks fell apart last night!!

Leans
Clemson, Denver, Arkansas LR, California, Boise St (10-0 last ten ATS vs Idaho!), Portland State, Portland

PittChicGambles · 01-29-09, 11:03 AM

Thanks for the advice hangar...what early and late picks you looking at today?

Hanger · 01-29-09, 11:07 AM

Don't ask, I skidded yesterday, and looking at today as a rebound day. Clemson seems like a good play. I also like the Spurs +1.5.

I have to admit after watching UNC Greensboro play like crap, I don't think they can cover tonight.

Late, I am looking at puck plays at the moment.

PittChicGambles · 01-29-09, 11:10 AM

I know..last night was awful for me as well...It was just one of those nights where those dogs were covering and winning outright. I was soo upset about that pitt game. I almost won 1100 in a 3 teamer if they just would have won...uggggh. Im looking for today as a rebound day as well.

Err I am an idiot. UNC Greensboro is getting the points- Still don't think its enough, is what I meant to say.

But thats my opinion, after I bet em -3 and they choked big time.

PittChicGambles · 01-29-09, 11:14 AM

Im liking VT -1 so far

PittChicGambles · 01-29-09, 11:20 AM

Washington -1 as well...

lambogb · 01-29-09, 11:29 AM

VA Tech seems like 200% safer than washington -1 but i like both plays
i started out with $100 and in the last week thanks to sbr its at $220 now..

you seem like someone who bets big so i would at least split it into 2 bets.. ive been doing $10-$30 bets but today ill stick to $20 ones

already played V Tech -1 (bought a hook) and Illinois -1 (bought a hook) as its a heavy favorite in my other forum... leaning on washington just seeing if people here like it to be honest.. im not the best capper

BOL with building the stack tho

PittChicGambles · 01-29-09, 11:32 AM

I like Illinois as well lambogb...

maddogmadden86 · 01-29-09, 11:32 AM

pitt dont do a parlay its giving money to the books, just keep to money management and straight bets

PittChicGambles · 01-29-09, 11:33 AM

I know maddog...I just dont have much to work with right now...70.00

chaseman · 01-29-09, 11:41 AM

Pitt, I'm in a similar situation. I got hot for a while, built up a roll, then went on a "God-hates-me" losing streak that has put me in the hole.

One thing I'm doing to build back up is staying away from the NBA for now. I know CK dropped the NBA till after the all-star break (i may be wrong about that). NCAA is heating up, and I'm hopping on that wagon.

Good luck to ya. Oh and I liked VT also today.. (the Machine took it too, so it can't be a bad bet)

ghn999 · 01-29-09, 11:41 AM

ar little rock over fla atlantic ML on this baby!!!!!
clemson over virginia tech +1 2 team parlay!!!!!!!!!!!!
Clemson has won three straight versus Virginia Tech, with each of the last two being decided by one point. Five of the last six contests have been decided by two points or fewer, and this could be another tight contest with both teams playing strong defense and battling for position in the conference.

PittChicGambles · 01-29-09, 11:41 AM

Im going to do a 4 pt teaser tonight...teams will be posted soon

lambogb · 01-29-09, 11:45 AM

dunno if nba is ur thing
but the under is hot on both games

PittChicGambles · 01-29-09, 11:48 AM

Thinking of a 4.5 pt teaser with the following teams:

PittChicGambles · 01-29-09, 11:50 AM

(NCAA Men) Virginia TechPS +3½
705 (NCAA Men) Michigan StatePS -1½
727 (NCAA Men) WashingtonPS +3½
735 (NCAA Men) IllinoisPS +3½
756 (NCAA Men) Southern CalPS -1½
707 (NCAA Men) Arkansas Little RockPS +2½
720 (NCAA Men) Louisiana TechPS -1
740 (NCAA Men) ArkansasPS -1

PittChicGambles · 01-29-09, 11:54 AM

70 to win 525..what do you guys think? Oh gosh...not sure about that, or a 4 team parlay with VT -1, Wash -1, Michigan state -6, and Illinois -1 risking 70 to win 770

lambogb · 01-29-09, 11:58 AM

scary!

PittChicGambles · 01-29-09, 11:59 AM

I know..im losing it...Im not doing that at all....gonna be smart and build it up gradually...

lambogb · 01-29-09, 11:59 AM

ive seen alot of ppl backin iowa st.. if u did a parlay id just do a 3 teamer but even then im only like 80% confident in vtech/wash/ill

PittChicGambles · 01-29-09, 12:00 PM

I know lamb..last night i did a 3 teamer with pitt, ohio state, and kansas and I was about 90 percent confident in that, and look what happened!

PittChicGambles · 01-29-09, 12:01 PM

Usually betting half lines are my thing..may try a few of those to build it up a bit

lambogb · 01-29-09, 12:01 PM

i was down to $70 before the nfl conference championships and just split it on 2 3-team teasers that i thought for sure would both win.. i barely won one of them to stay alive..

if i were u id at least split it into 2 teasers.. or do like 2 straight bets and a parlay or teaser

PittChicGambles · 01-29-09, 12:01 PM

yea..im thinking a couple firt half straight bets first...

Vonnegut · 01-29-09, 12:03 PM

Make 5.00 1 unit line plays, keep it to 4 plays today and maybe add a one unit teaser, take a long look at some home dogs and also Pac10 and Big Ten teams tend to keep it close, build it up a bit and you will be laughing in no time, I would stay away from parlays until you build up your nest egg.

PittChicGambles · 01-29-09, 12:04 PM

Thanks vonnegut...appreciate the advice!

lambogb · 01-29-09, 12:07 PM

santa clara first half and charleston first half have a great chance of winning
they fall into ck's category of "secret plays" ... in th emost basic sense, the system is:

play the first half of a team that has a huge game spread and, of course, a big 1H line but only if there is no 1H ML available

its been finetuned and numbercrunched check out CKs latest thread for a guy named solobass who did some calculations

ill be playing both

007Fatty · 01-29-09, 12:10 PM

pitt do california tonite. but dont wager all your money tonite. thats what i did last nite and lost 1200.

PittChicGambles · 01-29-09, 12:11 PM

Thanks for that insider advice...
I also was thinking that I liked first halfs ---VT -1/2 , Iowa +3 1/2 and Arkansas Little Rock -1

PittChicGambles · 01-29-09, 12:12 PM

I know..i lost 1000 last night!

PittChicGambles · 01-29-09, 12:12 PM

You like california on point spread or ml?
