Has this failed yet?

infamousbacardi · 02-09-10, 12:01 PM

Line at SBR Sportsbook is back up to 152.5. Looks like you lost the hook by pulling early.

It's the risk you run this early...I'm all over it at 152.5...might buy it up to 154.5 and go heavy. Looks golden...great job guys...BOL!

Actually the 10 pts from the Profit was a generous freebie. I already had 10 pts built back up from forum posts and such, which is why I took the gamble on Texas (I didn't like any other games yesterday but knew I'd be back at 10 points anyway). The Profit sucked me in on the TennTech Under (I was leaning toward it but it wasn't at the top of my list) so he was just being nice and giving me 10 so I can play my top pick as well.

DuncHen22 · 02-09-10, 03:46 PM

Alright I'm in with my #1 pick as well as my consensus pick with The Profit!

Had to buy the hook but I'm loving this pick! If these both hit I'll bet all 40 tomorrow!

watch those obvious games james madison seemed obvious last night aginst the worst team in the counntry---towson-----with exception of tenn martin--towson grows some balls and wins--so i will be obvious and go with vandy

Mashaka · 02-09-10, 04:04 PM

BOL with your plays today

Haha, yeah but you can't avoid games just because they seem obvious. Major upsets happen every now and then. They just stand out in your mind more than the games that dont have upsets because the obvious favorite winning the game is the expected outcome. It's like saying "plane crashes happen all the time," only because no one reports on a plane that lands safely.

BOL with your Vandy pick!

BTW, my vote is on Alcorn State for the worst team in the nation. 0-24, Differential = -25

DuncHen22 · 02-09-10, 07:55 PM

Damn! AP game was canceled due to inclement weather. Don't they know they're playing inside??

DuncHen22 · 02-09-10, 09:06 PM

You're up by 3 with under a minute left and you go for the 3 pointer?? WTF VCU?!

DuncHen22 · 02-09-10, 09:10 PM

Hoping for overtime...

DuncHen22 · 02-09-10, 09:14 PM

Wisco losing SU to illinois at home... didnt see that coming

THE PROFIT · 02-09-10, 09:17 PM

VCU isn't making it easy. They're not doing it in OT either. Had a 15 point lead in first of second half

THE PROFIT · 02-09-10, 09:19 PM

They are completely blowing OT, just turned it over & lost the lead with 1:48 left

DuncHen22 · 02-09-10, 09:24 PM

DuncHen22 · 02-09-10, 09:26 PM

And Wichita down 10 to evansville w/ 15min left, guess I just wasn't supposed to win today

DuncHen22 · 02-09-10, 09:28 PM

wow, the worst day for my system all year (0-3) and of course it has to happen tonight

DuncHen22 · 02-10-10, 01:28 PM

Okay, I haven't put all the games into my system yet but two that I'm liking so far are Duke -5.5 and UNI -5. If I had to decide right this second I'd probably take the Duke game.

So I just cashed out the rest of my points on a Sportsbet $100 free play and I decided to try something fun with my remaining 10.77 points. I'm going to try to get back up to 450 points in 6 days by betting all I have on one play per day.

This may fail miserably on the first day, but I'll just try it again after getting points for forum posts, etc. It's just points so it's all in fun.

So this is how it will break down:

Notice on the last day I don't double up only because I only need 410 points for another free $100 play. And it's nice to have a small safety net on the final day (because you know that's going to be the day I lose).

And just for further transparency and so you know I'm actually trying this I'll take a screen shot of my points each day. Here is my first screenshot with time and date included:

I have a system for picking games that has been hitting 65% for a while now so I'm going to use that to find games and pick the one I feel most comfortable with.

Anyway,

GL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Against Old Dominion?? No thanks.

DuncHen22 · 02-10-10, 06:46 PM

Duke -6

DuncHen22 · 02-10-10, 11:27 PM

Alright, made it past stage one!

My system went 5-1 today (William&Mary -10, Old Dominion -11, UNI -5, Duke -6, Syracuse -10 (L)). Great rebound from yesterday's 0-3!

Now time to look for tomorrow's game.

Hey Guys... I'm fairly new at this forum... I have fair amount of points and wanted to know where on this forum you can bet our points.... I also wanted to know how you get that coin on the bottom of your message board .. Thanks

You should see this at the top of your page:

Click on the "SBR Book" and sign in with your same username and password as you use on this forum. There you will find where you can use your points (you'll have to transfer points from your "wallet" to your "SBR Book Balance", which you can do on the right side of the screen once you enter the SBR Book)

And the coin in the lower left corner there is for others to donate points to you. For example, if you give some good advice or a good pick that someone uses to win points, they can give you a kickback for the info. You could give someone points if they help you figure out where to bet their points and tell you what that coin at the bottom of the page is for.

I'm just kidding.

DuncHen22 · 02-11-10, 03:08 PM

I just jumped on Butler -13. I wish I had seen this last night when it opened at -11.5. I hope I wasn't too late but my system said it's still good. Butler beat Youngstown by 30 points a few weeks ago. Granted that was at home but Youngstown doesn't have a great home record anyway. I don't think their 6,400 seat arena will scare off Butler from doing what they should be able to do. Butler should win by 16-18 points or so.

sportsfan2009 · 02-11-10, 03:29 PM

good luck

Chugs · 02-11-10, 03:34 PM

Cool idea, might jump on and give this a try. GL

benibrowns · 02-11-10, 03:35 PM

i went from 30 to 460, buts i hit 4 of a kind in the casino!

DuncHen22 · 02-11-10, 03:41 PM

Just for fun, here are my other system's plays today:

NOTRE DAME UNDER 161
NORTH TEXAS OVER 129
MURRAY ST UNDER 147
ARIZONA ST -13
MURRAY ST -11
JAX ST -12
UTAH ST -8
PORTLAND -12

I still like my Butler pick the best, which is good cuz I can't change it now! BOL to everyone!

KACK · 02-11-10, 03:53 PM

Thanks DuncHen... Understand about the coin... How do you get it on your message board for people to give you the points.. I tried everythng but can't find out how to do it... It is probably so simple but I have to admit I'm an idiot about this one...
