    I lost it all in Vegas
    pac-10 hoops get no respect from the ncaa now. but for any real pac-10 fan, cal's upset over l'ville was easy to predict. i went big on cal money line and put cal in all my parlays (mizzou, duke, kansas state, syracuse). i thought cal was such easy money that the same situation was going to happen again with byu (the mountain west gets no respect).

      So Cal's upset was easy to predict
      BYU's upset was easy to predict

      Now you're broke, and you're giving us more advice. Pass.

                So you have nothing left after the Cal bet and the parlays with the other teams? Put it all on BYU?

                  You've been a member of SBR for 2 and half years and you still haven't figured out that going all in on a feeling is stupid? Get out of the game before you bankrupt yourself completely.

                    Please don't tell me you are going to scrap up 22K more and slam it on the Cornell ML.
                    Even though I like Cornell to win tomorrow, I wouldn't advise with your method of betting.

                      byu was basically an additional leg of a parlay. but i couldn't wager it as part of a bigger parlay because it was a 2nd round match-up. so i just rolled over the winnings onto byu and call it a "manual parlay." had byu come through i would be taking cornell for a big bet tomorrow (although for less than 44k similar to hedging the final leg of a parlay).

                          Please tell me that didn't hurt your overall savings at home, and just broke your betting bankroll. Or hopefully you have ridicules bankroll and that is just a percentage, like it should be.

                            Tough one. You make money grinding it out, not betting it all.

                              that was all my college basketball money. i treat each sport (nfl, cfb, cbb, nba, mlb) separately since they each have different betting strategies/angles. i start the season with somewhere around a few thousand. then i go big on the playoffs/finals/tournament/etc. any leftover money is put into a general fund to start each sports bankroll at the beginning of the next season. so i'm done with cbb for 2010.

                                Cool. Good to hear you have a bankroll for betting.
                                I am the total opposite, I don't bet playoffs for any sport, and go light on the NCAA Tournament.

                                  $11,000 is good. most of the books i went to on my run last month were only taking 500 or 1000 max bets.

                                                              so standard. my cornell pick was spot on. basically, i lost 20k on byu and then lost another ~20k on money i would have had on cornell. so byu cost me about 40k. maybe the ivies will start to get some respect now that i'm knocked out of college basketball. it's too late for me now boys
