    Do you think college basketball has been tough early on?

    I don’t know what ton about it but mainly it seems to be going to form

    Yeah not many making good money early on. Try to make a little before Christmas but from then on you make money from learning from earlier mistakes. Same thing happened to me last 2 years.

    Tough with the late meaningless fouls. It gets worse each year the amount of points down and still fouling.

    Good point about the fouls don’t understand when the game is out of range they foul that’s dumb coaching

    NBA they do not foul at end most of the time

    Love college hoops but this can be frustrating and by far the worst thing about the sport.. some these coaches so fukkin stupid and have no rhyme or reason to this strategy!!!

    Last night I had siu+2.5 vs crappy hometown slu squad. after holding small lead majority of game they get down 2 with 38 seconds left, figure I'm in pretty good shape, slu offense not very good so thinking siu plays d and gets ball back with somewhere between 8-12 seconds left down 2 with chance to tie or win, my only real concern was them missing and giving one those pointless very last second fouls.

    Boy was I wrong! Apparently siu's coach doesn't understand math or simple hoops strategy and decides to foul giving slu free points at the line to put a winnable game out of reach for some reason? Why why why? I get extending the game if you down 2 possessions in that situation but only down a basket it made absolutely no sense to do this!!!

    There that way it happens which simply asinine. Then more traditional way where I understand it if you down 4-9 points, but even in those spots when it called for I just wish there was some kind of line where coaches tell kids to back off,,when you have a 10-12 point dog you shouldn't have to sweat this as once it gets to 3+ possessions there really no point! My teams have a knack for continuing to do it right until the spread blown by 1 then giving up! Lol

    im thinking about taking more college ML's instead of laying the 4 or 5

    seems like these games are tight most of the time

    Just not sure juice worth the squeeze when you talking bout laying around -200.. pushed two -4 spreads last night on games my team was leading by far more majority of the game which is certainly frustrating! Lot of times I'll do ml parlays along with playing ats on favs in the -3/-5 range..

    I had +10.5 last week, and the guy fouls down 9 with 3 seconds left to lose by 11. Can't make it up.

    Lol, yea that the worst. I'm fine with playing the foul game within reason but when you down multiple possessions and there only 15 seconds or less just stop!!

    seen more shady covers the past two years than in the previous 3 combined.. see If you can get the raptors vs warriors at GSW and the Miami vs Golden st at GSW last year... epic rig jobs. then there was the Knicks +12.5 at Memphis game that ill never be able to get over

    Dom it happens to me every year... action starts after xmas... always is the way.

    For jj though, Ive had a good start so I think books underperforming, but I could easily be wrong. I think they'll be better in the latter half compared to normal.

    We'll have to wait and see.

    That's why they gotta pay the kids a bit of a rainy day fund. I'm honestly all for it especially if they think they're so cute getting fickle with us. Obviously if they start getting paid, get ready... one step closer to a true professional sports circus.

    Na actually cashed temple, got them -3.5 when I got in door bout 10 min before tip on BM! But being late to party got me bad line on bama-4 push, and Uc Davis -4 push. Those 2 held significantly bigger leads than temple throughout the game, actially felt little fortunate with temple. Was pretty aggravated pushing bama who held 7-10 point lead it seemed most the game, not sure how uc Davis went? They were up 8 I believe at half but I fell asleep and saw it was push when I woke up..

    I lost last year the same way... 3-5 sec left game is comletely over and I'm coveting by .5 to 1.5. The prick didn't dribble it out/they prance in for a clean dunk... no fight or care from the losing team, It was expected...

    It was my last leg on a parlay cost me a good 300-500.
