I agree...WV at +5 looks good..I'd stay away from UCONN ML....Okla St is a better fit....Nebraska can't keep winning and on road two conf games in a row?? No way

stingyrivers · 03-01-08, 02:48 AM

dont really know why everyone is so high on OKLa st, they are pretty erratic team to consider solid money....

W Kentucky
S Alabama

both are facing very inferior teams and looking to end regular season on a rush as opposed to a letdown game.... they should both cruise....

and i am kinda thinking the same about Houston

stingyrivers · 03-01-08, 02:52 AM

appreciate the heads up on UConn guys, just a feeling they pull it out, they are pretty tough at home, beat some pretty stiff competition at home this year, WV is kinda shaky on road imo.... but you are right, a game with this many questions about it dont belong in ML Parlay

WestsidePete · 03-01-08, 02:54 AM

first 2 plays for me
3 team ml parlay
duke
kent st

diogee · 03-01-08, 03:28 AM

Do I dare add Cornell to one of them??

imgv94 · 03-01-08, 04:14 AM

Any reason why no one is using BYU in their parlays?

BYU hasnt lost a home game since Nov 2005/45 straight. AF is Shit on the road always has been. BYU needs the win so they won't back down with UNLV breathing down their neck.

BYU just beat New Mexico at the pit which is a difficult place to play so they're playing good.

Why no BYU?

diogee · 03-01-08, 04:15 AM

There is no chance in hell that BYU losses...I didn't list them because Betjam usually doesn't have ML for anything about -13

JColli32 · 03-01-08, 04:16 AM

yah i dont see many books having BYU ML if not its gonna be anywhere from 2500-3500

imgv94 · 03-01-08, 04:20 AM

-2500??? -3000??

BYU is -1000 at the Greek right now

diogee · 03-01-08, 04:22 AM

Besides the Greek I am not sure how what other bucks have that kind of favorites on the ML

JColli32 · 03-01-08, 04:22 AM

well im retarded lol not posted at my book yet but shit i thought much higher

imgv94 · 03-01-08, 04:23 AM

5 Dimes,Justbet are a couple I'm aware of.

stingyrivers · 03-01-08, 04:31 AM

yeah imgv.... byu is solid winner....

i have a feeling people are using others because -1000 ml makes it so you need at least 4 teams in the play

people have Purdue mentioned and they are -1400?

-1000 takes a lot of juice off a potential parlay.

diogee · 03-01-08, 04:40 AM

I would definitely have Purdue as well if it were offered to me as well as Xav

stingyrivers · 03-01-08, 04:54 AM

ok here is a super solid one that spans the course of the day:

Duke
Purdue
UNC
Memphis
Kansas
BYU

at -110

diogee · 03-01-08, 04:56 AM

Very solid stingy...all fairly easy wins.

Wow thats a good one. Can't find a weak spot in it. The only two that concern me at all is Duke and UNC. Small concern though.. Others look bingo

I'd be surprised if that didn't cash.

stingyrivers · 03-01-08, 05:04 AM

yup... it is a lot of road chalk but at this time of the year (powerhouses lookin to finish strong), if any of these teams lost it would be a complete shocker, so this should cash, the only small concern i see is duke, but i think their last 2 road losses probably has them a little extra focused on this one

imgv94 · 03-01-08, 05:26 AM

St. Louis looks very safe..

St Bonnie
horrific on road 0-12
horrific vs conf 1-11

St Louis is solid @ Home.. Looks safe

Yes indeed I have them in an early one

imgv94 · 03-01-08, 05:38 AM

Creighton looks good

CREIGHTON is 9-1 straight up @ Home against BRADLEY since 1997

Creighton 13-2 @ Home winning by avg of 16ppg
Creighton 40-6 @ Home last 3 yrs

Creighton's last three home games:
MISSOURI ST 88-67 W
S ILLINOIS 72-53 W
N IOWA 74-50 W

Creighton needs this win too.

same for me...otherwise I'd be on them...

diogee · 03-01-08, 05:41 AM

I think you just sold me on Creighton as well...you mentioned doing round robins with your parlays as well. Do you do 4 ML plays in a 3 team round robin? Just wondering

WestsidePete · 03-01-08, 05:44 AM

also thinking about the suns ....phily 1-8 vs west conf teams .500 or better this year on the road....playing a back to back on the road as well....and suns need this one to get back on track

imgv94 · 03-01-08, 05:45 AM

I mix them up and try not to put the same team on more than 3 of them so I don't have all my eggs in one basket.

Now with Creighton they are -270 now, so of course thats too much juice. So I'll add a cinch like Saint Louis and a mild cinch like Memphis. Parlay is now -149

Creighton is only good enough for one parlay imo. BYU is good enough for four tomorrow of course just my humble opinion.

St. Bonnies is terrible, no doubt, but I think St. Louis' inability to score prevents them from ever being categorized as a "safe" play. They certainly should win, but this will likely be a low-scoring game and Bonnies is capable of hanging around for a bit.

Kansas and the Zags both win BIG tomorrow.

Good luck.

imgv94 · 03-01-08, 05:52 AM

Thanks rjt you're opinion is always extremely appreciated.. I don't like those hanging around a bit games.. I feel ya, where it's like 56-53 with 1:43 left. Hate that Shit

WestsidePete · 03-01-08, 05:52 AM

Ruffin's back. I'm passing on that one tomorrow, but Bradley is very good when everyone's available. They're probably my favorite to win the MVC tourney. Just a completely different team with Ruffin in the lineup.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Bradley University will let point guard Daniel Ruffin rejoin its basketball team while he awaits the outcome of his misdemeanor domestic battery case.

Bradley president Joanne Glasser says the school reviewed the incident that led to Ruffin's arrest before making its decision.

Peoria police say they arrested Ruffin at his apartment early Saturday after a 20-year-old former girlfriend accused him of cutting her lip as he tried to get her to leave. He's told police she hit her lip on a door. Ruffin is next due in court on March 17th.
