My own $4000 experiment

[DanOmaha]

We're going to make some money this weekend! I also have a couple of heart picks - Marquette -5 vs 'Cuse and Creighton -3 over Illinois State. These have no factual/capping backing, but the matchups (I believe) work in Marquette and Creighton's favor.

I like both of those plays. I will bet to win $70 on both. BOL DanOmaha!

Not going to be a good day for you today. Boston getting killed and don't see Jazz covering either. I like Sacramento tonight against you on Denver. Well GL for the other 2 totals as I don't do totals and have no clue.

12 Plays on the card for March 17. I have Alabama State twice. I got it earlier at +3.5 and liked it so much later in the day I chose to double my bet, but I could only get +2.5. In any case I think Alabama State will win the game outright so I don't mind losing the point. You will see that I have a lot of $70 plays. This is because I like to play more games during tournament season with less money at risk.
