Going All in on Ohio State ML

$Burm$ · 03-25-11, 01:02 AM

I'd be careful. Before this zona game I think many would agree that Kentucky had a better shot at knocking of Ohio St. than zona did Duke. I wouldn't be completely surprised if Kent beats em tomorrow.

drfunkmaster · 03-25-11, 01:03 AM

DO IT!!!!! they are far better than the epic failure that duke put up.... Ohio state should cover..

Nittany Lion · 03-25-11, 01:24 AM

Never bet it all, I learned my lesson after putting almost everything on Duke, lost a ton. But the Ohio State ML is very tempting, I have 1,500 SBR points on it and the Kansas ML. But since I bet the Ohio State ML, you should probably fade me, I have horrible luck.

-250 is a very good deal. if you want to take a huge risk yes this is the game to do it. line should be -7 -315 or higher

i have a UK future that i would love to win, but im already penciling them as a loss to osu. osu is just a cohesive veteran team, and those are the types of teams that win regionals. osu 79-67

Gonad · 03-25-11, 01:45 AM

-250 is a helluva risk... That said, this is a solid OSU starting 6... These Kentucky kids might be better someday, but will it be tonight? I'll go with Lighty, Diebler, Buford, Lauderdale, Craft, and the Big Guy... The Bucks lost two games, and that happened when Moore and Jordan got insanely hot... On the road...

As evidenced by yesterday's results, anything can happen... As for me, I'm ridin' The OSU for another game or two...

Slow and methodical.

Ease up.

Don't go all in, bet a lot
but not 6 months of your hard work.

darrell74 · 03-25-11, 02:07 AM

Can you find $500 to start over if OSU chokes.
you probably can't. Therefore, don't go all in.

$500 to win $200 and you would have $700 if they win.

How about this:
$250 to win $100, if they win you add $100 to your original $500
Total:$600
If they lose, you're down to $250, and at least you have something to work with, instead of being broke and having jack shit to wager for any more games.

That $100 gap of $600-$700 isn't that big of a deal as long as you keep doing the slow and methodical method that you have been working so carefully with for the last 6 months.

darrell74 · 03-25-11, 02:08 AM

Don't go all in.

Refs cheat
Players get injured
None of them give a damn about your bankroll

darrell74 · 03-25-11, 02:10 AM

If you have an extra $500 to replace your build up bankroll for $500, then, go all-in.

If it's gonna take you another 6 months to replenish it, don't do it.

ShogunRua · 03-25-11, 02:24 AM

Don't do it. If you are thinking of making a big play, just go 100 or 200. Kentucky is a VERY good team when they are playing well. It sounds like you've used pretty decent MM to get to where your at, don't risk throwing it all away on 1 game.

BamaBill67 · 03-25-11, 02:32 AM

OSU wins this !

breathmints · 03-25-11, 03:20 AM

Damn u made 500 in 6 months? I made it just last week..betting ml not much spread betting hah oh well..i took osu to win eastern region for -150 about to parlay them with denver -10 magics ml and osu ml.. gl..im going to put like 100 on osu ml

iMxth3xbossx5000 · 03-25-11, 06:21 AM

Go all in. Ohio state will win but may not cover the 6

alienware · 03-25-11, 06:23 AM

they are way too young to care about anything more than winning.

I'm on the Ohio State ML. Kentucky is too young..

Darrell I am going to take your advice, and not put it all in on Ohio State. I am going to just bet $175 on the ML. Even if they win I will still make a decent chunk of change, and if they lose I wont be done gambling until college football season. That being said, I still think that Ohio State is a much better team, they have more weapons, and play together. Kentucky has to many young players that don't gel well as a team at times, very athletic and very dangerous, but they are inconsistent. Consistent basketball wins games in the sweet sixteen, the elite 8, and the final four, But like you said Darrell injuries happen, bad calls happen, and plain luck happens to and its not worth losing all of my hard work over 1 game.

Shogun I appreciate the advice, you and Darrell talked me out of it, I am going to bet half, go $250 on the ML, I am going to wait to see if it drops at all as we get closer to game time, it is at -260 now. If it does drop down to -250 again i will bet half my stack, if it stays at -260 or goes any higher I will only put like 10 units on OSU.

bacon22 · 03-25-11, 10:50 AM

It is a very tempting wager. However, the only guarntees are death and taxes.

BigTenBets10 · 03-25-11, 12:25 PM

Scratch it now, the ML is at -275 OSU. It is a no play for me at this point. I probably should have just unloaded on Ohio State -250 late last night, instead I slept on it. It went to -260. I check back later to hope it went down to -250 and now its -275. Unless this goes back to -260 it is a no play for me today. There is no value at -275 in my opinion. I will kick myself tonight if Ohio State wins by 5 points, and I could have been all in at -250, oh well so goes gambling I guess.

darrell74 · 03-25-11, 11:02 PM

Glad I talked you out of it?

KingKolzig · 03-25-11, 11:04 PM

wow i was watching the game wondering if he put it all on osu

BigTenBets10 · 03-25-11, 11:16 PM

Shit guys, I didn't go all in but I put down $100 bucks on Ohio State tonight.... I am so glad I listened to some good advice and didn't blow my whole bankroll. I gotta hope FSU pulls of the win tonight to make it only a $75 loss on the evening. I am drinking to ease the pain of losing so much money. relative to how much I have to gamble.

drfunkmaster · 03-25-11, 11:56 PM

FSU also shit the bed for you.. Thats how it always is.. tough loses.. OHIO state wow.... simply wow... and VCU double WOW!!!

gamble · 03-26-11, 12:18 AM

yea brutal loss, good thing you didnt bet it all

darrell74 · 03-26-11, 01:02 AM

That's typical Ohio State sports in general.
They believe in beating the shit out of bad teams, very classless like.
Beat the shit out of bad teams, then get exposed while being heavy favorites.

I love betting for and against Ohio State because they do this classless shit so consistently.
I made $100 off them, tonight.

I have watched Ohio State play all season long. They are at the top of their game right now and playing team basketball to perfection. I am convinced that they will win this game, but I don't want to risk betting the spread at -6. The moneyline is at -250 on OSU right now. I am really considering putting my entire account balance on Ohio State ML -250. I am worried that if I don't take the -250 now it might increase as we get closer to gametime. I am not a big time player, I make slow and methodical plays and increase my bankroll slowly 10 bucks at a time, hence the end of my name "Bets 10" but for me it has taken over 6 months to make the $500 that I am willing to risk. Anyone going all in with me, or do you advise sticking to my original slow and methodical gameplan. Right now I am thinking go big or go home, hell its march madness right!

sorry for you losing what took you 6 months to build up....

darrell74 · 03-26-11, 01:08 AM

He rescinded

EasyCover · 03-26-11, 01:11 AM

I had osu to win on ML which I rarely do. But saw the white boy block Sullinger and switched to Kentucky at even better odds. Thank you live betting.

I was lucky, I took some advice from several members on the forum in this thread, and only put down 1/5 of my bankroll on OSU, but I also bet the ML on FSU so it was a rough Double whammy for me late last night....especially in 2 close games. Lost $150, could have been $500 though, hey I will get over it and make it back...gonna take tonight off from betting, just so I don't go on tilt. I think I will just play some $5 sit and go poker tourneys tonight while I watch the games. Then start back up when I have cooled down a little.
