BiffTFinancial · 02-07-12, 08:53 AM

should've booked Okie State earlier at -2, work meeting got in the way and had to buy the hook. bah. could probably wait and get -2 later without buying hook, but going to be busy much of day and won't have time to stare at lines.

BiffTFinancial · 02-07-12, 08:54 AM

Creighton/Evansville is a keep-up game. Bama/Auburn was a potential keep-up game, but red flag for pace.

BiffTFinancial · 02-07-12, 11:06 AM

not surprisingly, Okie State dropped back to -2 (-105). just punched myself in the groin for stupidly paying .45u to buy the hook. bah. hopefully it won't matter given that ISU hasn't won in Stillwater since the Reagan years.

You should check Juricks twitter also:

#OKstate is without five players (Gulley, Dowell, Olukemi, Jurick, Guerrero) who combined for 36 starts and 26.9 points per game this year.

thanks for posting that. i didn't expect Jurick or Guerrero to play, and Olukemi, Gulley and Dowell have all been out for over a month, so this is not a problem. this play is based upon (a) Okie State's home-court advantage/long-term dominance of ISU in Stillwater, (b) Okie State's 3PT defense being able to contain ISU's shooting (their biggest strength along with Royce White), (c) Okie State having gelled somewhat in their past 4 games after overcoming the numerous injuries they've had this season, and (d) the opener and overnight movemnet, which i felt was a clear signal that Okie State is the play. BOL to you tonight, pal.

still pissed at myself for buying that hook.

that is true. no worries, there's a ton of information out there in college sports, so i'd rather have someone post something that i may already know (but maybe i don't) but that anyone reading this thread may not. i'm not big on write-ups (seen way too many threads where people waste time arguing over one sentence in a write-up), but i love to discuss the rationale behind a play. i have plenty to learn, and the day you stop learning is the day you start losing.

alamo · 02-07-12, 06:15 PM

Good luck tonight Biff. Do you think you may have some 2nd half plays or are you out for the evening. I managed to luckily catch that 2h play last night so well done !

thanks, alamo. yes, i may have a 2H play tonight, though not necessarily looking for one the way that i was with Marquette last night. i told my wife at 7 last night that all i wanted was for Marquette to fall behind big in the 1H, MU 2H's have been gold for me. BOL to you too, pal.

Rick22 · 02-07-12, 07:45 PM

Biff considering OSU -8' 1H - what you think?. Also I guess I waited a bit to long on Auburn, now +2' at Heritage.

that has to be 1H for Auburn, no?

i do not like OSU 1H. Purdue is a good 1H team, but bad 2H. if anything, i'm hoping that Purdue is close at half so that i can take OSU 2H. if OSU jumps out big, then will probably consider 2H under.

Rick22 · 02-07-12, 08:06 PM

Yup 1H - dah

Rick22 · 02-07-12, 08:06 PM

Maybe I'll sit tight on the OSU game also - didn't realize that Purdue was that good a 1H team.

if anything, i'd consider 1H under. well, Purdue was good 1H through the early part of this season, they haven't been as good lately, but they're solid 1H and OSU may have a slow start after big W in Madison.

BiffTFinancial · 02-07-12, 08:46 PM

hope Travis Ford draws something on that dry erase board involving guarding Chris Allen...

not feeling as stupid about buying the hook as i was earlier. stuck myself with a bad number, but not bad enough to lose.

apologies that i didn't respond. i had the flu last night and it really started kicking my ass during the OSU 1H (or perhaps it was the impact of my shitty picks that made me sick). hope that you didn't play OSU 2H. they really just did not look like themselves last night.

Awful 0-4-1 for -9.78u Tuesday night. Apologies to anyone who tailed. 122-98-5 for +42.27u season to date.

fly fisher · 02-08-12, 08:02 AM

No apologies necessary. LOL. But I am amazed that it was such a bad night. I thought, yea we might go 2-2-1, but no way did I think we could go 0-4-1, oh well maybe today will make up for yesterday.

i hear you, fly fisher. that's kind of the way that i was thinking. early in the 2H of Creighton, Providence games, when Creighton and Providence were rolling, i figured we'd make up for 2u of the 3u on the Creighton/Evansville with Creighton 2H, and Auburn might even give us a shot at a positive night (since they'd started their game well). Creighton refused to recognize that their threes simply were not going to fall last night, Providence scored 1 point in nearly 7 minutes in the middle of the 2H after taking a 60-41 lead, and Auburn completely shat themselves down the stretch in the 1H. to say that last night was disappointing doesn't even begin to characterize it properly.

oh well, on to today. have a ton of leans and need to pare them down, the problem that i have every Saturday.

BiffTFinancial · 02-08-12, 10:38 AM

there were a lot of potential keep-up games today, but most had red flags. only two left are Drexel/JMU and Ohio/Toledo, and tempted to flag Toledo at outset for all of their zone defense. OU has struggled against zones, esp on the road (BGSU game was a notable example).

No need to apologise for anything Biff. Hope your feeling better today. A winning day is always a good tonic and I think thats what were going to have. I avoided that OSU 2h so no further damage done. The one play Ive made so far and would be interested in what you think is the NC\Duke under (got it last night at 159.5). I saw a few people saying they think its too high and remember you also sayin that you got to stop playing NC overs. Hoping that they dont go off tonight!

thanks, alamo. i agree, under is the play there, but i'm passing on it for the reason that you just mentioned. i've watched them allow so many lay-ups late in the shot clock the last few games, i can't play the under. that said, i bet that they tighten up and don't have those lapses and Duke will be lucky to get more than 65 or so. if i play that game, it will be UNC -6, but will probably pass altogether and just watch.

BiffTFinancial · 02-08-12, 11:27 AM

shocked that the Akron spread has dropped to -2'. fortunately, it did open at betonline first at -2, so not as big a flag as might initially appear.

La Salle heading in right direction.
