1st half plays

I do not take favorites. I have no opinion on that. I really like miss st in 2nd half to win this game outright. Take missouri st plus the points.

hoop guru · 02-24-09, 08:54 PM

two more plays tonight for me:
Iowa St +1.5 1st half
suns team total under 29

hoop, nice work on N Iowa 1H and Penn St 1H. also, FL/LSU will officially be my last espn 1H under. at long last, i think i've learned my lesson. they're pulling from 26-28 feet and hitting with ease.

Biff,
Take Iowa St +2.5 2nd half. Iowa St wins by 8-10 points tonite.

interesting - legendz accepted wager after half started. perhaps finally a break based upon square choice of book....

WestsidePete · 02-24-09, 10:12 PM

BYU or SD St guys...any thoughts??

JColli32 · 02-24-09, 10:15 PM

i took san diego state at -1 for the game....i just think whoever shoots a better % wins 1st half with these teams and that is a toss up...better off playing 40 minutes

hoop guru · 02-24-09, 10:19 PM

Iowa St looking solid with 13 point lead with 15 minutes left. i am going to wait until half time to make up mind on the san diego st game.

romoney · 02-24-09, 10:23 PM

San diego needs this one bad to stay in the hunt, plus they want to redeem themselves after
that disaster vs New Mexico.

hoop guru · 02-24-09, 10:27 PM

I will be 4-0 if iowa st covers the 2nd half. SO far its looking like they will cover the ML too.

hoop guru · 02-24-09, 10:32 PM

I have another play for the 2nd half but its too late to put it in. I liked nebreaska +2 in the 2nd half.

hoop guru · 02-24-09, 10:33 PM

Biff,
U must be feeling good. Especially, now Iowa St is winning 56-42. Congrats to us.

i'm on BYU +1.5. have them winning by 5. while i understand romoney's point that SDSU needs this one bad, BYU is coming off a loss at UNLV and i don't think that there will be any lack of urgency from them. i have BYU as better team by 8-9 on neutral court, and although SDSU is at home, that's not enough to make up difference.

definitely. barring a new recruiting class for baylor in next 8 minutes, that just made up for FL/LSU 1H under loss. many thanks, hoop.

hoop guru · 02-24-09, 10:40 PM

59-43 and its getting worst for baylor. I put a grand on the 2nd up.

hoop guru · 02-24-09, 10:41 PM

I did not wager on the sdsu (i am sdsu alumni) game. I am going to wait until the 2nd half. I will place a very small wager just for kicks and giggles.

hoop guru · 02-24-09, 10:45 PM

Biff,
I took Iowa st because in their previous game Iowa st failed to cover the 2nd half spread against Kstate on saturday. I have a rule, If a home blows a cover in the 2nd half and they have another home game sceduled without an away game, I will take the home team to cover the spread in the 2nd half. This is why I took Iowa st in the 2nd half. And the spread was giveaway. I would have taken Iowa st if they were favored in the 2nd half too. Oddsmakers did not want any action on Baylor and thus made them favorites. Oddsmakers are very bright people and they are good at what they do.

TORONTOBBALL · 02-24-09, 10:46 PM

hoop guru let me know whats good for second half

hoop guru · 02-24-09, 10:50 PM

I like san diego st in the 2nd half especially if they are getting points. I will let you know at halftime

TORONTOBBALL · 02-24-09, 10:53 PM

k

hoop guru · 02-24-09, 10:59 PM

4-0 in college basketball and I have wagered on a team that is favored. I dislike favorites if anyone wants to know.

hoop guru · 02-24-09, 11:01 PM

Iowa st game finally over.

hoop guru · 02-24-09, 11:03 PM

I am rolling with sdsu in the 2nd half.

JColli32 · 02-24-09, 11:04 PM

u still staying small or what i got em on the game so i wanna see wat the line looks liek before i pull the trigger on 2nd half

WestsidePete · 02-24-09, 11:05 PM

I ended up taking SD St -1...I'll be curious to what you guys think of the sec h total as well...

hoop - thanks for sharing that rule. out of curiosity, do you have a preferred site for tracking 2H lines and whether or not covered in previous game?

once you backed off FL/LSU 1H under, which i'd made my big play of day b/c i really liked that one [prior to tonight's implementation of my newly-official espn game rule], i decided to go with multiple big plays of day to disperse risk. i matched it with N Iowa 1H, LSU -3.5, then BYU and Iowa St 2H, all at max bet given bankroll size. aggressive, but 3 of the 4 are now home. of course, i didn't know then that you were SDSU alum.... we'll see how this last one goes. at any rate, big congrats for continuing your hot streak.

hoop guru · 02-24-09, 11:10 PM

biff, I do not track spreads in the 2nd. I guess at what the spread probably was. K state outscored iowa st by 9 points in the 2nd on saturday and thus covered the spread. I did not know what the actual spread was. I cannot wait til sdsu goes to halftime.

suckatmyjob · 02-24-09, 11:13 PM

sdsu looks good however hope byu close gap or maybe a sit out 2nd half

makes sense - thanks.

hoop guru · 02-24-09, 11:18 PM

byu is playing their 2nd road game this week. They lost a tough one at unlv on saturday. I just do not believe they have enoeugh left to make a comeback. I am going with a smaller wager on sdsu +2. They are not going to let off the pedal in this game and not let byu make a comeback.

Madetowin · 02-24-09, 11:20 PM

I just took the under 72 1/2 for the second half. Doubt the start lighting it up

JColli32 · 02-24-09, 11:20 PM

agreed and adding a small wager myself to hopefuly add to my winnings that are coming on the full game play i have tonite

hoop guru · 02-24-09, 11:23 PM

biff,
I looked at the halftime score of the sdsu game and the 2nd half spread. Its best to stay away from this game. Do not mess with the spread or with the over/under. I am leaning towards sdsu +2.5 in the 2nd half but have decided to stay away. Dont worry there is a ton of action tommorrow. Again be careful of espn games and that is why I did not mess with the florida.

Zboiz, was bragging about LSU and barely covered the spread. We did not have to sweat out any play today. I did have to sweat out the penn st 1st half. That was being lucky. I actually liked florida at the half but decided to stay away from that too.
