ricky777 · 03-15-12, 12:05 PM

John when you say "site" how do I find it? I too took murry as I didn't see your pick early enough again. thanks

Fl227997 · 03-15-12, 12:47 PM

Horrendous bet.

Fl227997 · 03-15-12, 12:52 PM

The losses come so easy when you bet bad teams thinking that you're sharp.

yD · 03-15-12, 01:01 PM

They come easy anyway.

Bulls covering against Heat without Rose? And I even got the "bargain" at +1.5 with Miami.

And now this to start the day. Nothing to with John though, I picked this before I saw his play.

ricky777 · 03-15-12, 03:32 PM

John can you post the pics on here sorry I'm new here. Thanks.....

Thats very nice Pal, now get out of Johns NCAA Thread, I know its tough to read the top Portion

yD · 03-15-12, 04:44 PM

Please, stop with the "pal" stuff. I know its a top priority to "fit in" with all the big shots here, but stop, ok Louie?

Any reason you point out my post and not the other guy who actually DID diss the pick?

61Lifetime · 03-15-12, 05:39 PM

you a real Winner, not the brightest Bulb in the ceiling
it must have been very hard for you to such word as
" DOUCHE " most likely don't even know what it means

John Ryan · 03-15-12, 06:02 PM

Rough start... but it is a long tournament and we have some house money that we are still playing with so:

South Dakota State + 7 1/2 -110 -
West Virginia Pick-em over UCONN

5* plays each

have a ton of plays tomorrow; If you go to the sbrforum.com home page and then look there for my name in any article or then click on college basketball and then there will be eight articles with eight plays.. 20* North Carolina State is the big one.

Fl227997 · 03-15-12, 06:20 PM

Wvu is playing gonzaga...iowa state is playing uconn...which one?

Fl227997 · 03-15-12, 06:22 PM

And south dakota state is +7.5...good luck teasing it down and taking the dog still. Hahaha

chief42 · 03-15-12, 06:37 PM

Oh boy here we go again.

JJJ · 03-15-12, 06:40 PM

Colorado/California all over again LOL

epr038 · 03-15-12, 06:57 PM

I'm starting to think maybe west Virginia isn't the play? Although i don't blame it on J.R. I've been eyeing this one all day.

sweethook · 03-15-12, 07:54 PM

its a long run , good luck john

Yep. typo.. my bad.. was quickly doig and it and had first half lines listed on my screen, which I rarely have up.. sorry.

All In 101 · 03-15-12, 07:57 PM

Took WVU.... what a bad decision.

polishkielbasa10 · 03-15-12, 09:46 PM

Wow. This guy John Ryan got his clock cleaned today. Was that 0-4?

jbizzle · 03-15-12, 10:19 PM

0-3 in NCAA today, down 20* worth in NCAA, looking like a 1-1 in NBA tonight if score holds. We'll get them tomorrow big day!!

Dmoneytx · 03-16-12, 10:55 AM

I have been popping into this thread here and there for the last few weeks & I haven't even seen ONE "rare" 10* play even win OR a "very rare" 20* play even win. Maybe John is a good capper, but I have been looking at his record the last week or so and it is SO far below .500 it is not even funny. I appreciate the help of all the cappers on here, but the few "big & rare" plays have ALL been losers. Hard to follow that on any level. And yesterday?? Not ONE winner?? All i can say, is for those who follow this capper, OUCH! Good luck, but I will not be looking at this thread ever again. I have followed John on 9 plays and I am 1-8 on those plays. I don't know how it gets any worse than that. Just my opinion. And I have a gut, a lot of people probably agree with me. I want everyone on here to do well, but following John has cost me a good ammount of money. I'm sure it has cost others as well.
And I do understand you roll the bad with the good. I also understand that we make our own selections. But these BIG titan plays have almost ALL been losers. Hard for me to swallow that a GOOD capper looks at ALL the plays for the day and selects his huge plays and they all turn out to be losers. At least for me, that is hard to believe. Again, good luck to everyone.

If you were really capping this game and looking at it you would know the line wasnt 4.5

ya a typo but you should know the line of the game you are capping

Dmoneytx · 03-16-12, 11:12 AM

PS. Also seen a LOT of descrepencies as far as the actual line being correct OR if even this capper, John Ryan, is even posting these plays. All that is easy for me to read between the lines. Like I said, GL to anyone who follows this guy. Or whoever posts for this guy. I'm out.

ricky777 · 03-16-12, 11:14 AM

John, where are you? please post the picks with the grade, running out of time. Thanks!

John Ryan · 03-16-12, 11:16 AM

20* North Carolina State -2 1/2 -110
10* Purdue +2 -110
5* Under Alabama 136 -110
5* Over Michigan/Ohio U. 125 -110
5* kansas -13 1/2 -110
5* Georgetown -3 -110
5* Florida -2 1/2 -110
5* Florida State - 6 1/2 -110
5* North Carolina -14 1/2

This is a huge card. I have to be honest, in my experience, this many plays represents 'danger' so PLEASE do not get over exuberant on this card. Play them with a disciplined approach. There is NEVER a need to 'go for it' and risk financial ruin or to delete your 'playable' bankroll by a catastrophic amount. I have confidence with all of these plays certainly, but we have an inordinate amount of risk. Make sense?

There is a research and matchup notes on the web for these games except for Florida and FSU. Let's start a serious discussion this afternoon.

ricky777 · 03-16-12, 11:34 AM

Thanks John!

ricky777 · 03-16-12, 11:47 AM

John is Temple a graded play also? Thanks again.
