Biff, the line just moved against Akron...
I'm on 'em @ -3 5x, so I'm concerned.

Biff, Ark ML tonight?

Georgia SUCKS, and Arky needs a road win..

[alamo]

thanks, alamo. i agree, under is the play there, but i'm passing on it for the reason that you just mentioned. i've watched them allow so many lay-ups late in the shot clock the last few games, i can't play the under. that said, i bet that they tighten up and don't have those lapses and Duke will be lucky to get more than 65 or so. if i play that game, it will be UNC -6, but will probably pass altogether and just watch.

Yeah I think I may have to hedge NC\Duke a little before gametime as I was hearing guys saying o\u would go off at about 156.0 but its reasonably stable and I got excited punching in 7x(in my Biff equivalent unit counter) so will back some of it out.
I got on La Salle at -1 (1.5x) paid a little extra juice and -1.5 (1.5x) for the standard price. Having said that I am going to benefit by getting Akron @ -2.5
Lets hope we all cover.

Drexel/James Madison over 127 only keep-up game tonight.

Memphis/ECU flagged for line movement.

ODU/W&M, Kent/EMU, Cincy/SJU, Missou St/S Illinois, Indiana St/Bradley, Miami (OH)/N Illinois all flagged for A/TO ratio, plus other red flags depending upon the game (been using A/TO ratio as initial filter for big cards).

Buffalo/CMU flagged for 2PT%.

Cincy/SJU, Ohio/Toledo, Kent/EMU flagged for amount of zone defense.

Biff, the line just moved against Akron... I'm on 'em @ -3 5x, so I'm concerned.

i don't like it, because it means that i got a bad number, but i'm not that concerned. first of all, line initially opened at -2 yesterday afternoon. second, Akron is clearly the superior team and playing great right now. might there be an injury/illness we don't know about? perhaps. if so, Akron's depth is a huge asset unless multiple guys are out. they could let down, but Dambrot ripped into them after last week's Toledo game (and game that Akron won and covered) and they came out near-perfect against EMU at home this weekend. the MAC race is going to be really tight and Akron can't afford to drop a game to WMU. Akron has won 5 straight by margins of 9, 12, 10, 14 and 30.

i actually put another unit on it at 2'. won't count for my record, but counts for my bankroll. we'll see, but i'd be more concerned if it were a team that i don't know much about. i could be wrong, but it won't be for want of paying attention.

Biff, Ark ML tonight? Georgia SUCKS, and Arky needs a road win..

i like Arky. waiting to see what line does, but that game is Hogs or nothing, i think. don't know if i'll play it just because huge card and i'm already on two road teams that have to win. in the words of Bill King, UGA is a dumpster fire.

lean Penn State, URI, Arkansas, St. Bon/UMass over, under/1H under in Cincy/St. John's and ND/WVU, but have to draw the line somewhere. back later in afternoon.

[LockPickMaster]

How about MSU 1st Half vs PSU
MSU -8 or MSU -9

i don't like it much. big letdown spot for MSU between Michigan and OSU games, kind of like OSU last night against Purdue. that said, PSU has been terrible on the road. BOL whatever you decide.

[alamo]

VCU win by 23 but we lose by the hook. Puts the final cap on a bad day. Unlucky Biff.

[pacocn]

Biff, lets get back on em. I passed on Nba tonight,
but will be back at em tomorrow

0-4-1 -11.79u Wednesday. 122-102-5 +30.38u season to date.

the last two days have been a bona fide nightmare. no solid food and no wins. Quincy Diggs missing the final FT in Akron and VCU failing to cover by a point almost put me over the edge. oh well, on to the next.

thanks, pal. funny how two straight bad days feels like a month (to be fair, they were really bad days).

They were, no question but since I've started tailing you (not since the start but a while now) we've had really good days too. All par for the course. I believe like a few others on ere in you. We will be back on track in no time. Good luck tonight dude.

thanks, man, appreciate it.

[BiffTFinancial]

one of a number of reasons that i like Valpo/CSU over tonight: In their last two meetings in Cleveland, these two teams have shot a combined 100 free throws.

[BiffTFinancial]

no keep-up games tonight, all home dogs 4-10 had red flags of some sort of another.

Sounds like my football season Biff. I'd grind it out day after day... be up some on the week, and then have a disasterous day and give it all back and then some. How come it seems like the bad days are always REALLY bad and the good days are just pretty good? Hang in there man. You're still having a good year.

[BiffTFinancial]

0-3. Fade alert. Sincere apologies to anyone who tailed. Will update record tomorrow morning but will take day off Friday to atone for my sins. Guess I'm on tilt.

Saturday 2.11.2012
3* Virginia +10 (-103)
3* Arkansas -5' (-106)
3* Saint Louis/La Salle over 133
2* Cleveland State 1H -3

[BiffTFinancial]

also lean Cuse, UConn/Cuse under and DePaul in other early games, and like Arky 1H -3. may just stick to these early, thinking it over.

[BiffTFinancial]

not surprisingly, there are a ton of potential keep-up games today (over with home dog 4-10 points), but most have red flags. the three that i'm tracking and considering playing are:

Davidson/C of C over 144
George Mason/UNCW over 139
Kentucky/Vandy over 137'

the total is dropping on UK/Vandy, but that's not all that surprising when you consider how good Kentucky is on defense and the line movement favoring the dog. taking a closer look at Davidson/CofC right now and may lock in shortly.
