Hoop it up '11-12

[No coincidences]

Huge card tonight and the public basically lost one bet: Alabama.

It's frustrating, because RLM and the like is typically money in CBB given the huge home court advantage a lot of teams have.

[YOUNGBUCK]

Bama my only loss tonight... Hit Loyola MD easy Vandy too easy and Ga Tech easy

[Ralphie1412]

I guess I'm more surprised by some of these lines than anything.

Memphis was +3. Why? Vandy was +1. Why? Hard to gauge how/why Vegas is so off with a lot of these games.

you have to look past the lines some times and know something about basketball. And in another thread you were saying memphis opened at 3 and went to 1.5. So by your logic memphis was a slam dunk. Now you are questioning the line?

[Ralphie1412]

p.s. I love you

I do know something about basketball. I watch it every day, and played it all my life up until college. I've been a die-hard fan for 30-plus years, and I've been posting basketball winners since I joined SBR. I absolutely destroyed the NBA playoffs last year for instance.

Yes, I'm wondering why Memphis was +3 to begin with. The line was so off I backed away, but I told everyone who was on Miami that day not to take it. I just can't believe some of the lines Vegas has posted this season -- the worst I've seen over a long stretch that I can remember. They're so bad it's basically keeping me away from certain games, which look so easy it's laughable in retrospect. I keep thinking the oddsmakers know something most of us don't.

Not a good year for RLM movement at all, in football and now in basketball. I have been getting burned on it so many times. My little brother is the biggest square I know and he is up big time this year.

There were weekends where literally 8 or 9 of the Top-10 public bets cashed in college football this year. I somehow managed to avoid it and I'm comfortably in the black, but I've had two just flat-out disastrous Saturdays (otherwise I'd be up the 40-unit range).

NFL is the NFL. You can always count on it for line reads, RLM, expecting the unexpected, etc. But the books have basically been giving away free money since the start of fall in college sports.

It's easy to start a thread everyday. You do it with game leans. Better to do it this way and easier to keep track of your plays than posting in one thread all season long.

[BigDofBA]

Check this out. My plays went 0-5 and my leans are currently 0-6. If Idaho doesn't cover they will be 0-7.

What's ironic is I did a $3 parlay with all 12 of these plays. I should get something for picking so many losers today. I almost did a parlay of the exact opposite but figured it was a waste. It's looking like it's going to hit.

Knowing my luck though, if I had done that, Idaho would be the only team to cover since they were my last play. I hope they cover so I don't have to ponder the massive payout.

This is the worst day I have ever had.

Except that it kills off about 90% of the posters who would otherwise discuss a play in an individual thread about an individual game.

[TwoWays]

What? They can just discuss whatever games you are playing on a given day. Don't be an attention whore.

A lot of people ignore these season-long threads though.

What are you, the bandwith police? All of the utterly useless threads on this site and you bitch about specific-game threads?

[BigDofBA]

Sweet. My plays went 0-5. Leans went 0-7.

How is that even possible?

I had been doing well too.

[sjm5122]

NFL has been better than college foots, I will agree there. But it certainly has been better for the public than in recent years. Colts rarely cover. Packers/Pats covering more often than not. This last weekend for instance, lines like cleveland +6.5, where the books could easily have made the line +7.5, get beat badly. Seems like in the past these traps would work.

Stop whining about your losses and throwing out notions about closing this thread because you're on a losing streak. And no, I'm Republican, so I'm for less regulations.

Mine wasn't much better buddy.

Why do you care? Ignore it if you don't like it.

[TwoWays]

I have a better idea. Start a thread for each of your college hoops play each day and bump them regularly so they will always be on the first page to view and people can see them all and discuss.

[TwoWays]

What, man. I'm trying to appease you here. I'm in your corner.

[pacocn]

BigDo post your plays tomorrow you are due.

Aight. Whatever to help the board out.

Gambling is such a roller coaster. I had been on fire then I just went ice cold.

[No coincidences]

3-9, -9.9U today
42-47, -19.9U season

Down over 21 units since getting back in the black. Taking a few days off only made things worse.

I might drop a bomb tomorrow and be done with it for a while win or lose. Could be my last play before conference action starts, because something is obviously not right with my head at the moment in college hoops.

stay and at least post some leans dude you seem to be one of the better cappers on this board, there aren't many...LOL

Thanks man. Hope I'll turn the corner eventually with college hoops -- never been on this kind of cold streak. Weird because I'm doing well in everything else.

Need to just be more selective and disciplined.

Under normal circumstances, Harvard +6.5 would be a 10+ unit play for me. I'm just worried about it for a couple of reasons: A) I'm struggling badly, and B) UConn tends to play up or down to their level of competition, and I'd be willing to bet Harvard's solid start has his team's attention, which puts the cover in jeopardy. Not sure if it will matter, though; Harvard may simply be good enough to cover even if the Huskies show up.

Harvard +6 (5U)
Harvard/UConn under 129.5 (5U)

[TwoWays]

Detroit is the best play on board. A double digit win at the least is what I see.

Good luck bud! On Harvard also.

liking Harvard tonight as my only play...I see this being a very close game down to the last couple shots...Uconn wins though 65-62 or something like that

I don't like Detroit at all -- in fact, I almost made a play on WMU. You can look at that in one of two ways: you're either golden because I'm ice cold, or you're fvcked because it's a lean and my leans almost always cash.

I wouldn't complain about 65-62 at all og.

[TwoWays]

By your logic, how the heck do you ever have a losing streak? You should make a big play on W. Mich. then. I've been known to hit a play every once in a blue moon.

[Maddhatter]

Detroit playing their 4th game in 8 days vs a team that has a target on them. 2 players from WMU transferred to Detroit and 2 others are from Detroit playing in front of their friends/family. WMU has this game circled on their schedule for sure. WMU hasn't played since 11/30 and in some ways that's bad.... but emotionally they should be up for this game. I like WMU for the 1H for sure. 2H might be good too if fatigue plays a factor. Detroit has pretty much no bench scorers and rotates about 8 players. Detroit has more talent but will they be able to keep up tonight?

[RoadDog]

Harvard +6.5
