    DOWN $600....advice please!

    Im down about 6 bills goin into tonight's game. I'm not lookin for anyone to tell me to quit gambling (even tho that's good advice), but am looking for advice on what I should wager on tonite's game to minimize my losses as much as possible.

    Anyone have any advice? 1st half, over/under, parlay, money line??? Any advice is much appreciated.

    Thanks to all and B.O.L!

    Place a 1 unit wager on your best opinion.

    What's your normal unit? You said your down $600. Is that by betting $100 per bet (unit), $50, $25??? What's your win percentage? Are you just getting creamed on a bunch of bets or losing a handful of big bets? How much are you willing to risk?

    I would lay off parlays and just try and pick one good line. Tonights game could really go either way but i like UNC minus the points.

    I think a much better pick is tomorrows woman's final taking Uconn -15 over UL. They've beat them like a drum twice already and I feel pretty good that they are going to demolish them tomorrow. I would load up on that one as woman's ball seem to be much more predictable.

    State + points or Over is what I like better of the bets, but neither is totally solid.

    A unit would be your average bet. If you normally bet $10 than that would be a 1 unit bet for you. If you normally place a $100 wager than that would be your unit. If someone says their placing a 5 unit play then you would know that this person feels very confident about this play compared to all his others.

    I placed a 50 unit play on Uconn woman for tomorrow night. That's how confident I am about the game. This is my largest basketball bet of the season, men or woman, pro or ncaa so that tells you I'm risking alot. BTW my base unit is $50 for basketball.

    I've been having a great tourney albeit I loss a bunch loading up on UL. MSU burst my bubble that night. I hope they don't do the same tonight. I'm going 10 units on the game and 4 units on the under but my big bet is tomorrow. If tonight covers, tomorrow will be even larger. GL2all.
