    If you can bet on Big Ten hit me up...

    Hey guys,
    I am quite new here on this forum. I am not sure if any bookie offers betting on Big Ten conference, but in case they are, let me know, I may be able to help. Reason I am "competent" is because I played on one of these Big Ten teams, graduating 3 years ago, I am still familiar with the league and what goes there. So holla if ya need me!

Until I get European CC, I will not be betting online, therefore not betting on BT. Still willing o try and help out though.

    I think this means what the hell are you getting at in this post? If you've got this "inside info" and insight into the Big10 just post your plays on the board an let people see them. Otherwise we can only assume you are going to have people PM you and then you are going to try to have them give you some $$$$ for your "inside info".....in which case you arent really welcome here

    Would never go as low as to try to charge people for my advice. Also, I never mentioned "inside info", all I am saying I played there and know some guys who still play there and actually am friends with assistant coaches on one of the teams. I can assume outcomes from talking to them, but no coach will tell me "we will lose tonight".
    I didn't post anything because I didn't know if Big Ten betting was doable because I haven't been able to bet online and my local bookies don't offer it.
    If you can post this week's spreads, I'd be happy to look into it.

    Dude....you're at sportsbookreview.com and you have the internet. if you can't figure out where to look at tonights lines I'm guessing you're not smart enough to be giving betting advice.

    "Dude", I am new on this forum, wasn't even aware they had odds here. William Hill only offers few games tonight, none of which include Big Ten teams. Not sure why you are posting here since you obviously think I am fraud/unintelligent.

    Sorry don't mean to be rude.....but this is an absurd post for a sports betting forum. No Big10 teams are playing tonight but there will be some Big10 teams in games to bet on for Saturday. I look forward to seeing how you do.

    Did you ever heard about Western-Union or ** ? a lot of books accepts them... for example 5dimes , you can look 'em up and have action from tomorrow using **! Oh and I think you might be able to even send it online ( using ** site with your CC )
    Good luck.

    Well, if that's the case, I'm not looking to see how he will do, if he doesn't know that there aren't Big10 games today and looking 'em up... Ohh dude...

    It's alright, I realize this may sound odd but I am new here and thought I'd give my contribution. I'll look for spreads for this weekend and post my predictions here.

    I'm actually in the proces of opening euro CC and then I will be bale to bet directly. I didn't like the ** idea because of the complications with withdrawals. Withdrawing back to my CC is the easiest way.
    My bank won't allow deposits to websites such as Monebookers, etc, so that won't work either.

    Again, a lot of negativity here. I am not quite sure why people react so negative to someone offering their opinion. I am not forcing anyone to bet, not even guaranteeing anything. Just saying I played there until recently and may be able to help, since I can provide some information such as what gym is awfully hard to play in etc. I didn't follow most BT teams religiously this season which is the reason I didn't know there were no games tonight.
    I am not forcing anyone to do anything, not sure why all these unnecessary attacks.

    Ha, good guesses. Played both of them actually. Krabbenhoft was a bitch to play against, dirty player.
    Will look into Pinnacle. Cheers!

    welcome to SBR. lot of guys are as bitter as tobasco lemonade. i'm not really posting college hoops picks at the moment, but i have a thread and will be posting sporadically until conference play starts, then regularly from then on. please stop by, i love to talk Big Ten hoops.

    The reason you are getting this reaction is because your initial post and subsequent posts (until the last few) were all very sketchy. Anyone that is as new to the site as you are that makes a post as vauge as ur initial one while claiming to have played in the Big10 3 years ago is going to be views suspiciously and as a probably tout.

    To the average person on this board they would see that post and think a few things....namely, why would someone with inside connections to Big10 teams randomly come on a sportsbetting forum telling people he can give them his information and insight into Big10 games, if that person doesnt even know (and can't figure out) when Big10 teams are playing and what the line is.

    Any post like this is gonna get the same reaction....I'd consider re-wording things a bit

    If you don't think my reaction was warranted then you're clueless too. Go ahead and think you shouldnt question someone who played in the Big10 and has this great insight....but can't figure out where to find a basketball schedule online or lines

    I do understand why people are suspicious, that's why I'm saying that I am not guaranteeing anything. What's the worst case scenario? I'm a fraud and I waste some bandwidth. Best case? I can help people win some money.
    As I mentioned, I did not know schedules or odds because I bet locally and not online, and wasn't aware that I can even bet on BT. The only online bookie I ever visit is WilliamHill and they didn't offer any BT when I looked.
    Finally, yes, yes it does sound strange that a former BT player would come to a betting forum. I graduated, stopped playing, got masters degree, and am currently looking for jobs. I bet on soccer a lot and I found this place looking for betting tips. When I saw NCAAB forum, I jumped in.
    To all skeptics, I ask nothing of you but to be fair and not bash me. If you don't like it, pass. That's all.

    hmmm. my curiosity is piqued.

    sounds like you're a big guy and obviously you didn't play for UW or NU.

    i'm wondering if you're originally from overseas since you live abroad now.

    some sort of subconscious bias tells me that you're white. hmmm....

    Joonas Suotamo?

    Kyle Taber?

    wait - i've got it - Goran Suton!

    in all honestly, you shouldn't reveal who you are in these threads, but this was fun. i'm just going to assume that you're Goran Suton and we can leave it at that.

    I agree, it is not that easy to predict non-conference play because teams are still developing plays, strategies, and even lineups. Conference is when it counts. Although, teams like OSU, MSU, Michigan and Wisconsin already have to worry about records so they can get a good bid in the tournament (and maybe even PSU if they're looking to get in again!). Looking forward to discussions.

    My friend, you are good. Wrong but close. That's all I can say, I am not comfortable with revealing identity for multiple reasons, you'll agree.
    You are extremely familiar with BT if you know these names.

    I couldn't tell you, with the info I already gave it would be quite easy to figure it out. And I' sure you'll agree that its not the best idea to give out one's identity.

    you definitely should not reveal who you are. there is no reason to, and there's tremendous downside, particularly for a young guy with a grad degree looking for a job and who has a name associated with college sports. last thing you need is your name tied to anything involving gambling in a forum that google easily searches. square world doesn't understand (and perhaps that's for the better).

    that's what i thought, too. i think that my Joonas Suotamo guess was one of my best picks of the last few weeks, heh heh. that said, we got close enough for fun, let's just assume it's former multi-Final Four participant Goran Suton (whom it almost certainly is not, since Suton's currently playing professionally overseas).

    Welcome to the forums Eko

    Understand that there are jokers joining these forums almost every week claiming to have ties to the mob, inside information, or whatever. Therefore, most people claiming something on their first post are going to be met with resistance. Don't take it personal, but rather a result of the state of the forums.


    With that being said, I am not sure what your Big Ten info from 3 years ago will help a whole lot with handicapping games, especially since you don't have a grasp on the lines and other things that have been mentioned. Anyway, not trying to pile on, but just being honest in both directions.


    Good luck with your plays
