Please try and understand what is going on before you post this info and try to confuse people. There was a 20* on Texas on Friday that lost, but if you read what he said. He said that there was a 20* play on Texas his last play before this 20* play that you are referring to. I spelled it out clearly for you right after your last post that it was against Iowa St. not Missouri that he said was a 20* when in fact it was a 5*. Next time take a minute and try to figure that out before you go posting something like this making it more confusing for others. I will have to show you again because obviously you did not take the time to click on my link to see that it was a 5* play. I don't get it, do some of you people not read more than one page of this thread?

Ok here it is spelled out as clearly as I can. His original post at 4:37pm on Friday the 9th of March:

5* Baylor +7 -110
20* Texas +6 1/2 -110
5* Colorado -6 -110

Then he says at 4:40pm on Friday March 9th:
That was a bad one indeed... But i hope everyone did get down on the Texas 20* game last night...

first time in a long time I have had back-to-back 20* plays on the same team.

So he is referring to a game before this Texas game that there was a 20* play on Texas vs Iowa St, hence the back to back 20*. Here is the link to that play, which does not say 20* it says 5*.:http://www.sbrforum.com/ncaa-basketb...-pick-a-23704/
The evidence is right there. There was no back to back 20*. There was a 5* on Texas on March 6th, followed by a 20* on Texas March 9th. Hope that clears it up for you.

I'm embarrassed for you, that you are still talking about this... Let it go man...

Yea seriously, life goes on bro. You are getting free advice, with that being said you get what you pay for...
Stop being such a cry baby, do your own homework

This entire thread is a joke in my opinion, record never updated, posting lines points or so off the actual line, 5 stars turn into 20 stars, so much confusion hardly any winners. When he wins he is here updating and boasting when he loses never see any posts or updates on the record. Just my opinion

[Swinging Johnson]

Personally I have never seen John boast about anything. He's very much a "stay the course" kind of guy and I am always amazed at his restraint when it comes to the haters. If you truly believe what you say, then you should steer clear of this thread but I can say with a great degree of certainty that he is one of the best handicappers out there. He's not a tout, he doesn't charge and he doesn't try to upsell.

John Crazy Legs Ryan, your opinion will always be valued at this address.

Absolutely agree... I don't always tail John but I appreciate his insight.... He has some interesting insights/analysis...

[John Ryan]

Ok.. everyone.. let's get a winner today playing

5* St. Bonaventure +3 1/2 -10 playing Xavier.
5* taking the 'UNDER' in the ACC Championship game.

5* graded play on St. Bonaventure as they take on Xavier in the A-10 final set to start at 1:00 PM ET. My proprietary sports handicapping database and simulator shows a high probability that St. Bonaventure can win this game, which is going to be terrible news for all bubble teams. I fell most bad for the team from the Philadelphia region in Drexel, who arguably have the strong resume to get a bid to the dance. A Bonnie win takes away an at-large bid and quite frankly Drexel is a better team than them. Yet, rules must be followed and should St. Bonaventure win this game they will have earned the right to platy in the Tournament as a conference champion. Xavier has struggled mightily against winning record teams noting they are an imperfect 0-6 ATS (-6.6 Units) in road games when playing against a good team winning between 60% to 80% of their games this season. Moreover, they are 0-7 ATS (-7.7 Units) when the line is +3 to -3 this season; 1-7 ATS (-6.7 Units) in road games against conference opponents this season. Take St. Bonaventure.

Appreciate it very much!!!! Thanks

[John Ryan]

Ok.. to clarify the record. and please double check it by all means.

90-96 ATS with 6* Titans, 21-10 ATS with 10* Titans, and 4-3 with 20* Titans entering Sunday's games.

[chief42]

Ok sorry fellas to clog up your thread with meaningless info. Good Luck today.

John...maybe a stupid question, but are you going to post your bracket somewhere? New to the site and the thread... Have you had much bracket success?

[John Ryan]

Thanks Chief42.. well put.. and Thanks.

[John Ryan]

John...maybe a stupid question, but are you going to post your bracket somewhere? New to the site and the thread... Have you had much bracket success?

yep.. I will put on a pdf format and upload to this thread.. St. Bonaventure gets the win today. I think if truth were known that is what kept Drexel out of the Dance.

[John Ryan]

It really seems that there were not any teams really left out.. the ones that were first four out had a solid resumes, but just did not have the complete body of work to have the selection committee lean with them. The North Carolina/Kansas bracket looks strong, but i need to delve a bit deeper. Vital likes Detroit, which gives them a bit of credibility.

are there going to be any 14 or 15 seeds winning?

[Jermusom]

I've got a feeling, the 1's and 2's are going to have smooth sailing at least into the round of 16... More mid majors/non power conf teams than normal... I think they are going to be popular picks, but Im leaning the opposite way... (Aside from maybe Murray st and witchita st)... Haven't looked too deep yet...

[soonerstud7804]

I think this could be the year that a 1 has trouble.

[John Ryan]

I think this could be the year that a 1 has trouble.

You may be right, but it won't be in the Midwest Bracket in my opinion...

5* Kansas Titan -15 -110 .. First play I have so far and just happens to be the last one starting in Round 1.

[John Ryan]

My bracket of 'guesses' is on the site.. They are no based on the model.. just my gut feeling where the possible upsets will occur.. so by all means do not refer to that chart/bracket for any wager opportunities. It is for fun only, but if it does well, then that's great too for you office pools.. Perhaps, this si the one body of work you may want to fade a bit.. ha ha ha.. seriously, have fun with the brackets and we will focus this thread on individual opportunities as each game and round comes and goes.

[epr038]

Are you locking in the -15 now John... Or gonna wait a bit? That line will only go up (not down) right?

[nbr1chinchilla]

I just locked in ku -14

[BeardedTaco]

Detoit +15 was steamed 15 mins after JR posted. Let's see if he keeps -15 or switches to -14 later in the week.

[John Ryan]

I owuld get down on -14 -110 I don't think this is going to go any lower. Detroit is a fine team, but they are stepping in level of play monumentally. Kansas has advantages in every facet of the game.

[John Ryan]

5* play on Stony Brook plus the points tonight. I like the team and I like how they play and they are happy to be part of the NIT. yes, disappointing to be one step away losing in the conference tournament final to Vermont, BUT they are in the NIT and I think they will compete extremely hard tonight.

[justwinthisone]

Yea Syracuse is already in trouble.......no fab melo

For some reason the only thing I can think is MOTORBOAT

[John Ryan]

for Wednesday night we have 5* American and 5* Quinnipiac

American is +2 -110
Quinnipaic +4 1/2 -110

Not a bad idea to consider a small MONEY LINE parlay with these two.. Might just work.

[NicAtNight]

Rough start
