not this fukkin thursday anyway...im seriously having a hard time really lovin anything on this card...even the NBA tnt games are rough and i usually like those

suckerforparlays · 02-18-10, 04:26 PM

ah ok i was hoping i wasnt the only one who didnt like the card im gonna wait and see what the first half bets are though the over unders and the spreads for the first halves

I like a few games but not as confident as I would like to be although I can see these guys all winning by a good amount
Wisc +1
Cal -6
St Mary's -7
Cuse + 2

Prob not going to touch Cuse and prob going to slap together a little FL -4, St Mary -2, Zags - 6.5 and Cal -1 Tease action
still checking things out though

id love to bet St Marys, unfortunately im allergic to games that are being pounded soooo 1 sided its not even funny....they will probably cover and everyone will get there "easy money" im just not a easy money type guy...wiscy falls in that category as well...wish i could do it but just cant, what can i say i got issues

i have 3 CBB plays and i'm not confident with any of them at all

suckerforparlays · 02-18-10, 04:48 PM

im to scared to even lay a bet down tonight the spreads and games are so strange tonight there aint no way in hell im touching that hell Cuse George town game lol

Wolf40 · 02-18-10, 04:49 PM

Its funny becasue if I saw the St. Mary's and didn't look where the money was going or anything I would go big but becasue its getting so pounded i'm also going to lighten up a little.

Wisc is just more me going with a better team going in the better direction. Ok st and maryland cashed that same ticket for me yesterday

I coached at the Citadel for 2 years so i should be loving them today but now I saw everyone pounding them as well so I am going to either go real small or lay off - I have the same problem (always looking over my back at the trap)

Really think Cuse is going to play well today but just can't put the trigger
Cal is better and needs it more so I will most likely play it

But for reason today I have that akward feeling that is telling me to stay away from things! AAaahhhh

2daBank · 02-18-10, 04:53 PM

honestly think citadel may be 1 of few i play...lean g-town but not touching it....thinking about UL Laf...that pretty much it...and both unders in the NBA

i don't pay attention to what that touts are picking or what % of the public is playing. Actually I've posted like a broken record that the % players see on the internet is totally worthless.
I do my thing and play it.. really don't care if 99% of the public is already on it or nobody likes it - immaterial.

i personally went back on sportsinsights and checked a whole bunch of trends (betting against the public, following early betters, etc) i spent a lot of time on it and can say that it's better to not follow those things blindly cause you'll hit close to 50 percent long term.

Dude i have made a fortune on UL laf this month... only betting 1H they crush it at home. I am done they already got me what they needed too and I don't want to push it too far and lose tonight

Never really been an over under guy thats a tail if I ride ann Over/Under... too much time capping the actual games that I never tried to get a feel for the points

2daBank · 02-18-10, 05:15 PM

Snowball...thats great for you my friend however i feel totally different about it...seeing how with both seem to do fairly well i couldnt tell you who is right as you win on games i would never touch for the most part however i do ok....guess it just a matter of taste...gl tonight

Wolf40 · 02-18-10, 05:16 PM

I've been working hard to be like that and have made some progress

i never follow anything blindly...it is a tool like many other tools, what can i say i specialize in the bets that burn a lot of ppl...therefor making it hard for me to ride with the majority even when i feel its the right side....

2dabank how long you been betting sports for man

2daBank · 02-18-10, 05:24 PM

ive only been doing college hoops full time the last 3 years or so, before then just like most ppl during the tourney....NFL and NBA for my whole adult life (i am 31) but was tracking picks by 14-15...just started baseball last year and hopefully learned enough from some of the fine ppl around here to make it profitable this year

suckerforparlays · 02-18-10, 05:41 PM

god dam it lol im trying to come up with a super tiny play tonight bc i want some action and i just realized i took the road teams on every single game thats so frustrating lol i havnt placed the bet yet though h ahaha

2daBank · 02-18-10, 05:45 PM
