726 UL-Monroe ML +240
753 Washington State ML +115

I think thats a smart wager. GL

WSU is the best game on the card tonight, IMO. USC is 0-2 in conf play and I just do not understand this line. I dont think USC was favored against Cal, and WSU is MUCH better than Cal.

Adding
Ucla -8.5 1st half 2 units
Wash State ML +115 ML 1 unit

[hwangSGD]

6-3 +1.6

Wow I'm against you on both plays tab. Looks like one of us will have a good day.

1* Oregon St +9.5

Better luck next time. I can go 0-2 as you go 2-0 on any given day. Remember its luck. I made a lucky call saying that Stanford wins by at least 20. I am just average like everyone else here.

wow Wisc just screwed my -11 over by turning it over w/ 10 secs to go when Illinois had given up and wasn't even fouling. Nice way to end my night.

[tab]

Sac st is up by 10 in 2nd half

Sacramento St +8.5
Montana St should not be favored by this many on the road. I think the spread is inflated here. Montana St is 2-5 on the road and the biggest margin of victory on the road has been a 7 point victory at Wyoming. I like Sacramento St to upset Montana St as they did last season at Sacramento (90-82). Sacramento St is on a 5 game losing streak and Montana St is coming off 2 straight covers.

Stanford -9
Stanford is playing at Oregon St. I saw Oregon St play at Arizona St and they looked really bad. Stanford defeated Oregon St last season 70-55. This year's Stanford team is much better and Oregon st is much worst. Stanford should dominate the inside game with the twins. ASU beat Oregon St by a score of 72-53. Stanford wins by at least 20.

Wow Sac st is actually going to win this game.

Its real easy. Its all about how strong you feel about each play. On certain games, we bet more for some games than others. Lets say that you have one play (110 to win 100) amd that would be playing one unit. I normally would bet this amount if I really don't like anything on the board. Know lets say that you only like play for today and you bet 550-500 (this would be 5 units). You can bet one play at 5 units or bet 5 individual games at 1 unit per game.

[Alry45]

So you should only bet 5 units a day?

[tab]

You should bet fewer plays (2 per day but bet more on each play). I like to go 2-0 every day but I would go for 5 units on each play. If you did go 2-0 and bet to win 500 on each, than you would win 1000. LEts say for example, you decide to go with 4 picks and you go 3-1. You would win 1500 for your 3 wins and lose 550 which would only win 950. Sometimes its better to stop at 2-0 rather than find some more games to bet on. Betting on more games does not help your overall record when it comes to handicapping games. Betting a few games everyday straight gives you the best chance of winning. I would rather bet two games heavy rather than break up the total amount into 3, 4 or 5 games.
