ucla over az if it's -5 or lower

imgv94 · 02-29-08, 06:47 PM

I would be shocked if BYU loses.. Might put them in four ML parlays

imgv94 · 02-29-08, 06:55 PM

Lets also watch out for unmotivated teams.

rjt721 · 02-29-08, 07:43 PM

Season is almost coming to an end, I've learned a lot this season and it's still a work in progress that I believe will strongly benefit me next season. I'm still learning what teams to stay away from and lately I've avoided some traps. I think betting ML Parlays are lots of fun and hopefully it continues to be successful for me. Kind of bummed knowing we are approaching the end of the season..

1* ML Parlay (-166)
Oklahoma St
BYU

Oklahoma St is always deadly @ home which was proven last week when they defeated Kansas. Oklahoma St has been under the radar most of the season because of their record and the six game losing streak. But if you look at those losses you will see that they never lost by more than eight points in any of those games. In Fact four of those games were decided by three or less points. Since then they have won 5 of 6 and four in a row.

Here is what Oklahoma St has done @ home this Season

Record: 12-2 (both losses were by three points very close games)
Off/Def 73.8-59.1

Nebraska on road
2-6
Off/Def 61.6-68.8

Nebraska hasn't won back to back conference road games in quite some time. I don't see them doing Saturday against a hot confident Oklahoma St team in a hostile enviroment.

BYU:

Has won 45 straight games at home. They haven't lost at the Marriot Center since Nov 2005... BYU is playing awesome ball right just finished defeating New Mexico on the road and you know how hard it is to win at the Pit. Air Force is a weak team who's only chance is too slow the game down and hope to connect on a large percentage of three pointers. Air Force is barely over .500 this season and haven't fared well versus the strong teams in the conference. It doesn't get much stronger than BYU.

Will add more parlays with these two just thought I'd get this out there.. GL

imgv94 · 02-29-08, 09:57 PM

I guess no one is around. I'm going out for a bit later and won't be back to late tonight. Going to do some final analysis when I get back.

Hoopefully there will be at least 20 replies when I come back.

NEP Dynasty · 02-29-08, 10:02 PM

Unfortunately, people only seem to be concerned with who looks good, and things of that matter rather than actually picking games.

imgv94 · 02-29-08, 10:12 PM

Yeah I feel ya NEP. This place has changed from sophisticated sports discussion to rating average looking females and how much do the pretty boys bet..

NEP Dynasty · 02-29-08, 11:27 PM

North Carolina is safe. I know they are on the road, but BC is awful. Will take a miracle for them to beat UNC.

diogee · 02-29-08, 11:43 PM

Early games I'm leaning:
St Louis
Miami
Miss
Marq?? Probably too risky for me in the end.
E Mich
Okl St
Kent St??
Duke
Uconn??
Drake
Probably going to end up with using 5 of those teams in 2 separate parlays.

YoungMoney23 · 02-29-08, 11:43 PM

might roll with:
UNC
MEMPHIS
TEXAS

$100 pays $86

seems safe

diogee · 03-01-08, 12:23 AM

Looks solid YM23. Going to try staying away from the road favorites for the most part

YoungMoney23 · 03-01-08, 12:27 AM

yeah yeah...UL Lafayette ML over Denver should be a good part of some kind of ML parlay seeing that Denver hasnt won one game on the road this season. Alot of people might overlook it but looks like a solid play in a parlay. GL

diogee · 03-01-08, 12:28 AM

There are some better options than Texas as well YM23 IMO...they should win but I don't feel confident enough about it to put it in any of my plays

Agreed...Denver is garbage on the road. Absolutely trash

YoungMoney23 · 03-01-08, 12:31 AM

Yeah texas worries me, but UNC and Memphis shouldnt have any problems. Just getting them at better value on the road. Memphis is memphis and BC is trash so UNC should handle them. Any ideas of another team round the same value to replace Texas diogee??? Any help would be great, thanks bro

diogee · 03-01-08, 12:37 AM

Okla St YM23

diogee · 03-01-08, 12:37 AM

Uconn as well but Okla St is the safer play IMO...Neb is getting a lot of credit for recent play.

YoungMoney23 · 03-01-08, 12:41 AM

I like Okie State at home and like my Huskies at home too...maybe two 2 teamers, like OK State/Memphis Uconn/UNC or something i dont know I'll have to look things over but thanks for your help

diogee · 03-01-08, 12:46 AM

No problem...I'm sure IMGV will offer great help as well.
For the 2nd batch of games I like:
UNC
Baylor
Memphis
Florida??

YoungMoney23 · 03-01-08, 01:23 AM

I like that one a good deal, good luck with it

diogee · 03-01-08, 01:28 AM

I am going to cap my parlays at 3 teams max and group them by start time throughout the day instead of having them spread all over the place. I have listed the games I like out of the first couple of groups so far...Quebb Diesel's method.

Wassymac · 03-01-08, 01:39 AM

diogee · 03-01-08, 02:01 AM

I have gotten through the 6 pm ET games so far and have all of your picks in my possible plays except for Texas (they should win but I don't have enough confidence) and Stanford.

diogee · 03-01-08, 02:01 AM

BTW I like Okie St better than Texas out of the early games

WestsidePete · 03-01-08, 02:08 AM

hey whats up guys...time to start looking for tomorrow...I'll start posting with you in a few....lets roll tomorrow...already I like Okla St....

diogee · 03-01-08, 02:09 AM

Good to hear WSP...Lets all have one hell of a good day.

MrFresh · 03-01-08, 02:14 AM

Not a ML play but Vandy looks like a good team to play tomorrow as underdogs.
