    Monday - Pair of 5's Sir

    The contrarian radar gives a look at the matchup between SYR/PIT. Both ranked teams, along with the exposure of being the featured game of the evening, provides contrarian opportuntity. I will be looking for line confirmation as the day develops.

    Let me recap from yesterday:

    Southern Illinois -4.5 (w)
    Northwestern +1 (w)

    Overall
    2-0 +2.00 units

    Favorites
    1-0 +1.00 units

    Dogs
    1-0 +1.00 units

    Stay tuned to the thread

    Contrarian Look

    WOW. Look at all those points you get with SYR. Forget them, PIT in a blow out is the play. I know it's early, but I am waiting for the game to click down a half point.

    Stay steady with PIT, come on 8.5 points.

    If I can squeeze out a half point, which I believe will happen, why not. Plays are not simply emotional transactions, they are value for the return. However, if I can't get my number, 9 will be fine.

    Syracuse will not loose by more than 9. They are too good of a team. Only looked bad in 1st half against gtown, other than that they have been real solid as of late. I put BIG money on SU minus 9

    I hear you clearly. My plays are contrarian in nature. Similar to plays in the financial markets. What information does the public see, that makes the line, ie. streaks, rankings and standings. This information for the novice players is overrated.

    Does the line make sense, particularly on the favorite. Oftentimes, the public will use the above, overrated information to pound the favorite. They see the information, and move the line accordingly to no success.

    Head to head records, where the line is lower than expected, for the dominating team.

    There are several other triggers but I won't bore you.

    PIT is a strong contrarian play, you over confidence secures my play. I respectfully disagree with your assessment and wish you the best.

    Would enjoy seeing you in my thread with your perspective. My St. Peters +11 is holding up nice.

    I really liked the St Peters/Manhatten game as well but decided to pull the trigger on the Spurs/Bobcats game. I liked the bobcats at home getting points and they covered. NOW, the CUSE will make it a huge day for me when we upset the Panthers tonight. GL fellas!

    Hey guys I'm new here!!I wish I would have joined a few hours ago so you guys could have saved me a dime on the sorry exCUSE of the #8 team. I thought 9 pts would have covered against Pitt. Oh well hopefully I can join in with you guys and win some $$$$
