Minnesota or Xavier?

iceminers26 · 03-19-10, 02:47 AM

I got Minny advancing in my pools but not playing the game as far as betting, good luck with the play

Hey ice, line movement indicates that minny is the play right? Minn opened as a pk, and is now at -1. Thx for the feedback, I'm new to reading into line movements.

Well the play is the one that cashes, but so far by line movement and money, Xavier is the play.

minny opened as a pk and is now at -1. How is Xavier the play? Did I miss something? Doesn't this line movement show that the money went on minny, making it more enticing to take Xavier? Don't rhe books want us to take Xavier at +1?

How do you figure? 71% of bets on Xavier and the line has settled back at MIN -1 = opening line. Bigger money on Min.

I thought it opened Minn -1, didnt know it opened as a pk. Depend on where you look its Minn -1, but its at a pk at some places and even Xavier -1 at a few. Where does SBR gets its percentages from is the question, is it gathered from multiple books or one? 66% of bets on Xavier, but not quite sure who their using, is it 5 Dimes?

Any book still offering Min +1 is getting action right now (Greek & Matchy). We'll see what happens closer to game time.

I guess it depends on which Minnesota team shows up. The one that beat Purdue and made the conference tourney final or the one who lost to Ohio St. by 30. I picked Xavier in my pool, not that that is worth anything.

Wilforth · 03-19-10, 07:11 AM

Looks like a pass. But if forced to make a play, I'd take Minny.

FHCI30 · 03-19-10, 07:13 AM

No more shitty upsets this morning Xavier buys them a ticket home.

Same here...Being from the midwest I've seen alot of Minnesota. I have them advancing in all my pools, but had to pass betting on this game. I haven't seen enough of Xavier, and like most teams Minnesota could put a terrible game, and be sent packing in the first half.

Wrigley · 03-19-10, 07:53 AM

I like xavier

blueghost · 03-19-10, 08:10 AM

gofor the gophers..xavier early exit

3PtShooter · 03-19-10, 08:12 AM

RPP · 03-19-10, 08:18 AM

Crawford and Love!!!

FHCI30 · 03-19-10, 08:20 AM

ah **** those locks

Sawyer · 03-19-10, 08:29 AM

I'll take the Over..

Holtgetsback · 03-19-10, 08:34 AM

I like Minny. They play good fundamental basketball and when they get warmed up the buckets come easy. Every team in the nation would have gotten blown out by Ohio State in the Big Ten Tourney the way OSU was playing.

Doc JS · 03-19-10, 09:02 AM

I like Xavier...a bit puzzled that the Gophers are a fav at 5Dimes/Matchbook...

Probably an indication of what will happen.

Regul8er · 03-19-10, 09:31 AM

I do like Xavier. Other then a thrubbing of Purdue, Minnesota has been up and down and very inconsistent. Xavier is the model of consistency, with a lot of NCAA experience on the roster. Gimmie the Muskies.

TennisBabe · 03-19-10, 09:49 AM

Liked Xavier from the start and sticking with it.

Jericholic · 03-19-10, 09:51 AM

Good match up for the Gophers. Like them a lot today!

MendozaLine · 03-19-10, 09:56 AM

Took Minnesota late last night. jjgold is on Xavier so Im feeling pretty confident right now

whatsgood5 · 03-19-10, 09:59 AM

Small play on Minny for me

sweethook · 03-19-10, 10:16 AM

X , cas minny likes to hold the ball and X likes to score.

Snowball · 03-19-10, 10:48 AM

Xavier. Very adaptable team.

babyanni · 03-19-10, 10:58 AM

minny??

babyanni · 03-19-10, 10:59 AM

maybe a play on total

TPowell · 03-19-10, 11:08 AM

Xaver -1 now
