Bluejays!!!! Love it, let's crush!

Creighton is one of my favorite teams this year.

**weekndornah** · 01-10-17, 10:49 PM

If ya'll ever come to Omaha, I'll buy you all a round.

BTW, Creighton's been covering the spread at a 74% rate this season. They aren't hitting the Over as much as they used to though, lines are pretty high this season and they've been playing good defense

**readytowinem** · 01-11-17, 12:18 AM

Yes a good pg, an athletic 7 footer and 5 guys who can hit a 3. Not a bad mix.

**Snake24** · 01-11-17, 12:34 AM

Ayo, how about the Sycamores tomorrow?

**mackave** · 01-11-17, 12:53 AM

Jays moving already, -4.5

**prettysharp** · 01-11-17, 01:09 AM

Seriously, what kind of basketball name is Kenny Kaminski? Sounds like the local tv news reporter.

I was riding that dude all game because he's let me down before and boom he hits the dagger.

Never again Kenny. You my dude.

Thanks Ayo.

How many points do you guys think home court accounts for in college hoops? I always pegged it at ~5 points.

Also, don't mean to hijack from Ayo but I think Creighton TT O78.5 is a good bet.
Gtown and St. Johns each hung 76 (at their respective home courts) on Butler on 43%/37% 3pt and 54%/25% 3pt respectively. Creighton hung 70 points on Nova's defense even with 25% 3pt

Apologies for my blatant Creighton hard-on

Obviously this isn't my thread, but 5 seems high. Sagarin post an average home court number that updates daily. It's at 3.17 today. Massey publishes home court for each team. Only a handful are 5 or higher.

Up to 5 1/2 already. Someone is watching.

Depends where you are playing at and who is playing. I don't think you can set a universal number.

**DroppinDimes** · 01-11-17, 12:18 PM

Creighton still a play at 5.5 or should it be bought down?

reduce units. I'd play this at 1x

**Earlerock** · 01-11-17, 06:05 PM

Ayo, this might be a dumb question, do you watch much basketball? I watch very little bc it seems like the more I watch the worse I pick. I seem to do better keeping up w box scores and watching scores.

What I've notice is when i watch live, I forget about averages and stats. I end up betting based on a big run or an anomaly thinking it will keep up. Use all your resources and bet on what you know best and not for action! BOL

You just need to separate emotions and usually think opposite. When you watch a team shooting lights out it is natural to think, man this game is over. Thing is it is a long game and both teams compile multiple runs.

For me watching the games add stress, but I like to watch and know how I lost. Twisted game we play.

Adding on to this, one of my buddies has made big money (thousands) in the past few days by live-betting NBA. He just watches for runs and bets accordingly.

My lines were 5 Dime lines as well.

Insane that the Denver line moved -55 within half an hour or so ....

**Earlerock** · 01-11-17, 08:13 PM

I got -133 and just played to risk a unit rather than to win a unit.

Yeah I'm getting tired of teams killing it in the first half and then crapping the bed in the second....
