Any Thoughts on These 'Specials' My Book is Offering?

If I HAD to bet all of these....

Highest Scoring Team:
UConn - It will probably be UNC but I could see UConn going crazy and +400 is something I might put a little on. No reason to risk money on UNC at -200

Player to Score Most Points:
Hansbrough - Blair went 9of9 for 20 pts against Villanova and I believe Hansbrough could do the same.

Player to Record Most Rebounds
Hansbrough - Blair had 10 boards against Villanova and I believe Hansbrough could do the same. MSU is a good rebounding team so Thabeet may not grab as many as usual. And again +400 vs -125 and it could go either way so I'm on the +400

Player to Record Most Assists:
AJ Price - If UConn is going to score the most points someone has to be setting up the scorers. Price has 18 assists over his last three games to Lawson's 20 over the same stretch and UConn has been in closer games. Lawson seems to be looking to score more lately. (Maybe I should have picked Lawson for Points)

I really think Hansbrough is going to play a great game, win or lose, against Villanova after a somewhat frustrating performance against Oklahoma. He is a senior and the leading scorer on this team and if the game is close, which I think it will be, he will do everything in his power to make sure this isn't his last game with the Heels.

what book is this? D- rated oddsmaker?

topgame85 · 03-30-09, 10:32 PM

Michigan state is basically playing at home in the final four upset alert

spongerat · 03-30-09, 10:34 PM

looks like betus to me.

does the home game angle mean much here?

BetterBetter · 03-30-09, 10:39 PM

Good call Spongerat

it is betus

and...

Good call Johnny

it is a d- rated book

can't wait till I try to cash out and see what shananigans ensue. Then I'm taking my money to BetJam

topgame85 · 03-30-09, 10:40 PM

It could help Michigan state win and thus have more pts..........

Shortstop · 03-30-09, 10:41 PM

I would never even consider wagering on something like this. Total shot in the dark in my opinion. Good Luck!

BetterBetter · 03-30-09, 10:43 PM

Topgame I could see MSU winning which would obviously give them more points than UConn but I don't think they would score the most out of all 4 where as if UConn has their way they might. If MSU wins I think the score will be similar to the Louisville game and there is now way UNC will end up in the 60s.

Shortstop, probably not playing any of these. Just interested what others thought. If I do I will probably parlay Hansbrough points and rebounds with a tiny amount of money to make a LOT.

topgame85 · 03-30-09, 10:44 PM

Is this most points for the rest of the tourney or in 1 game?

BetterBetter · 03-30-09, 10:47 PM

For games played April 4

topgame85 · 03-30-09, 10:48 PM

Ah ok, I do like reynolds at +1200 for most points for a unit he will have to try and carry Nova if they have any shot here and will be putting in work

The General · 03-30-09, 10:52 PM

Hopefully Uconn and UNC in final for a nice under bet.

Shortstop · 03-30-09, 10:52 PM

I thought this was for all 3 games, still no interest.

roadwarrior1 · 03-30-09, 10:55 PM

I will not go on record for saying this but Mich. St is peaking now?...

Chi_archie · 03-30-09, 10:55 PM

hard to bet on this, because not only do you basically have to predict which teams win....... because no player is gonna win their prop in 1 game..... but you also have to predict how they will do in 2 games without knowing the matchup in the second game....

if you wanna do it for fun that is fine, but don't put too much money on it....

BetterBetter · 03-30-09, 11:00 PM

Chi Archie it is just for the 2 Final Four games, but I agree not gonna go risking my life savings on any of these.

Topgame, Reynolds definately has a chance and for a good payoff. Did you have Nova over Pitt? Reynolds is one of my favorite players now because of that game.

topgame85 · 03-30-09, 11:03 PM

Yah, one of the few games I hit this week BB, Reynolds is from my area DC burbs, when i was locked up i was in same area as his brother (not blood they are both adopted) I love that guy

BetterBetter · 03-30-09, 11:11 PM

Cool deal. Yeah he is a hell of a baller! I've seen him a couple times this year. When everyone was saying Pitt lost the first game to Nova because Blair was in foul trouble I kept mentioning that Reynolds was in foul trouble in the first game too and was gonna lead Nova to another win over Pitt.

I ended up puting $10 on Hansbrough for both points and rebounds this morning. Looks like he will need at least 22 and 14 to cash both.
