I like everyone of these except the West Virgina one. I think Pitt will win in double digits...Montreal has been sucking lately and will lose at Calgary who is great at home

i think pitt should take it too.
i hope at least:P

Furman = Very strong pick

You should take Rider -1.5 as your *20

Kansas will either win that game out right or lose on the last possession from a fg by Carroll.

Other games no comment expect... West Virginia game I capped at +10. Too close to play it could go either way.

Reasoning... Over the last five games both teams have been playing well, Pittsburg, just a little better. Pitt has been winning by an 11.6 margin, scoring 82.6 and giving up only 71 points. Also they have made 7 three pointers a game over that stretch, shot 50.5% from the feild and pulled down 35.8 boards per.

West Virginia is second in three points made allowed in the league with 3.9 per game.

Watch for Pittsburg to be firing them up...

I think it will be a close game in the end though...

why furman? both those teams suck but furman sucks even more

Furman has won their last 2 straight up as dogs and they were supposed to get blown out in those 2 as well.

Furman apparently has turned a corner and playing much better as of late. Of course the last 2 wins were home games, so I guess we'll see how they perform on the road tonight.

I wonder if any one on these threads actually makes any bets or even watches games?

Name of the game is too find value within spreads/totals and to beat em'..

Besides I was just bustin' on you and Sporty"locks".

You probably do actually place wagers, although, many who do transcribe among this board are here for ulterior motives...

Ticon18 · 02-09-09, 11:21 PM

Not sure I should even ask, but curiosity has the better of me. For what purpose would one waste time posting on a gambling board if they don't gamble to begin with?

You would think no one would - as the general idea behind a message board is to foster an environment where people can share common ideas. This forum would allow Members to participate in various activities such as topic discussions and broad research capabilities. Thus allowing Members to gather information in an expeditious manner and then to make informed decisions within the scope of forums theme.

However, there are several unique categories of posters within a community – besides Administrators and Moderators.

I will be brief -

1.The average guest who post several times per month within the scope of the boards general theme. This individual may “lurk” on the board reading comments from time to time. Although, He/She is here to share views in the hope to then make better decisions.
2.A guest who frequents the board often – maybe too much. Although, He/She is here to share views in the hope to then make better decisions.
3.A guest who frequents the board often – maybe too much. Unlike guest number 2 this poster is living vicariously through others on the board in which they have built bonds with. They have a common interest in the message boards theme but post for themselves and the amusement of others.
4.A poster who continuously registers under different pseudonyms and creates multiple accounts. He/She carries on converstaions for the benefit of building a charcter or message which can be later used for leverage or a platform.
5.A guest who posts rather frequently with the only intention to leverage their identity into future financial prosperity. They will post often engaging others in conversation about a broad range of subjects.
6.Finally there are just the sick fuks...
