got absolutely no clue about uc river.....i would lean the same as you on the other 3 just havnt really made my mind up what im gonna play yet....gl todayComment -
A little tough yesterday, with a couple of plays. Had the under nailed on Missouri State, it friggin went to OT.
The 100 pt last minute in the St. Johns that we talked about. And the late James Madison second half implosion.
It's good to know that the angles are close. Nevertheless, any time you have a ton of plays and get out without an ambutation is ok. Buckle up Contrarians.Comment -
yea i had my worst day this year, got caught up playing to many games and teams i would never take not sure what i was thinking...luckily i didnt really bet them hard and have profited almost every week this year so it wasnt to bad...killed me in the contests though and that bothers me more...i just really started learning baseball last year and you were always a thread i enjoyed checking out yours and CKs as there were a lot of helpful guys in there so like every sport i try an learn i didnt really turn much profit the 1st year but i look at it like a free education and look forward to making some real money with you guys this year

yeah, 10 games on my card yesterday. felt like i was back in college, and not in the good way.yea i had my worst day this year, got caught up playing to many games and teams i would never take not sure what i was thinking...luckily i didnt really bet them hard and have profited almost every week this year so it wasnt to bad...killed me in the contests though and that bothers me more...i just really started learning baseball last year and you were always a thread i enjoyed checking out yours and CKs as there were a lot of helpful guys in there so like every sport i try an learn i didnt really turn much profit the 1st year but i look at it like a free education and look forward to making some real money with you guys this yearComment -
near term return is less important than long term. Money management is what will get you through the downswings. To me, CBB is a launching pad for MLB. For some reason, I am disciplined in baseball than baskets. The Contrarian angle has proven successful but I still keep my day job. A lot less stressful to pay the electric if you know what I mean.
Also, I am posting a selection in the Gold Medal Men's Hockey. Take the Under 5.5 +105. They begging for the squares to jump on the over.Comment -
i agree seems like everyone like the over....i may have did all the hockey betting i can Handle when i parleyed USA Canada on fri, probably the squarest bet of all time but it had to happen...that is why i liked checking out your baseball thread as every sport ive ever bet comes down to being against the majority to an extent...i took a long time for me to control myself with hoops but finally this year besides the occasional degen moment ive limited my games and it has actually helped pay the bills while i was layed off this winter...hopefully i can kill the conf tourneys and have a real nice roll going into baseball as ive had to spend a lot of my college hoops money on billsComment -
Manhattan is a NO play. Take it down. Don't like it now.Comment -
playing games to pay the bills, that's roughComment -
That's perfect. No more than 3% on one play. It keeps your head if you go on tilt. give it a try. you will like it because their is nothing arbitrary about it. That's what I do.Comment -
seems like its ok for me in college ball i mean i didnt plan it like that but got laid off so just took the little i was up on NFL this year and started making it work...the only times its stressful is when ive had to withdrawal a bunch to pay the bills then those were the few times it seemed like i had to be real careful but it has worked out and illl be back to work this month so cant complainComment -
Remember, it's like golf. It's not how good you hit the good ones, it's how bad you hit the bad ones.Comment -
no doubt luckily for the most part im not a guy who runs real hot(few real incredible spurts) and cold im actually pretty damn consistent....ask papsmear he'll blow my horn for me as im not much into bragging as this is a fickle thing we do...ive been successful most my life with nfl although this year was not real good just picked up college hoops a few years ago and last year was my trial year for the bases so hopefully ive learned enough from some of the good ppl around here to profit at that as well....everyone tells me bases is where it is atComment -
once i got it through my thick skull that it was ok to pass on a game even if it won my % and profits went through the roof....it is comical sometimes the guys that wanna talk shit because i go in a thread and give my opinion then tell them im passing on a game...yesterday two chumps told me do i even bet all they ever see me is telling ppl to passComment -
of coarse they all loved Ill and ken so maybe today they wished they passed on those
Comment -
exactly. it was in the process of talking some people out of UK that i decided to pass on UT. it was the first game i picked out on card friday, and i told myself friday afternoon that if that line was at least +2, i was taking UT 1H and game. somebody save me from myself.Comment -
2daBank are you pledging membership in the contrarian Mafia?

The application fee is two SBR points, but based on your hard times I will waive it.

thats what i love about this forum (besides the fact i have meant a handful of good ppl that actually have knowledge and are worth talking to) basically my fav games are the ones everyone hates it worked great for a while but after ppl started seeing me hit all those all a sudden to many ppl agreed and it screwed me all up...that why i played the Bulls fri night every1 loved portland...im 3rd in the nba contest and i dont cap that shit i just fade anytime i see a huge consensus around hereComment -
Baseball will be fun. Patience is the key. It's not about anyone particular pick or day, it's about the long term.
Killing is not condoned. Baseball bat to the knees is optional.

looks like the majority is gonna bail on Purdue today with Hummel out, something tells me they pull together and rally around that in this 1...plus im not sold on Mich st anyway....i mean Hummel out for year is pretty much Pur death sentence far as a deep tourney run goes but today im thinking the troups rally and get the winComment -
won't have time to look at that one til afternoon, but i'm a Big Ten apologist for sure, and i think this one's a definite no-play. it'll be the dominant topic of sunday morning hoops with other Big Ten apologists. Hummel is Boilers' heart and soul, and while i wouldn't be surprised to see them win, giving 4 without Hummel is very risky. MSU has tons of depth, especially up front. probably MSU or no-play for me, likely no-play. maybe MSU 1H +2.
back to this topic: does this mean that you have advice for my mediocre golf game in addition to my mediocre handicapping?Comment -
MSU is garbage.
they lost to UNC, and TX. Those two losses look really bad right now. And the way Ohio St., and Purd have defeated them in conference should seal the deal.Comment -
that the beauty of it though and ive always been a big believer the first game after the star is gone the team steps up, even more so in a spot where they been hearing all week that there season is shot from everywhere....i think they come out with a serious chip and something to prove plus i like johnson and there point plus kramer a bulldog..im not gonna lie i was real high on them all year and the Hummel thing sux but today they make a statementComment -
seton hall looks like the strongest play IMOComment
