NCAA Basketball with John Ryan

spike1519 · 12-14-11, 09:19 AM

Iona if I'm not mistaken is playing there 6th game in 12 day's all on the road this looks like a good spot for a road weary team to let it's guard down a little. Richmond is actually a good offensive team however there only getting 1.5 points last i looked and that is the only worry I have against this bet I really believe that Richmond can win in this spot but would like to see a few more points added for insurance. Also I don't see the big deal with U.C.L.A there really not as good as the books seem to think and Reeves nelson is gone I think he was there best player. I don't see any outstanding players on there squad that stick out, again this looks like a good spot for a bet with E. Wash getting 7.5 hopefully more by the time the game goes off. I'd like to hear what people think of these games there definetly the ones I'm looking at U.N.L.V is just unbettable with the spread and m/l is something like -2000 so i'm leaving that one out. Any thought's? ......spike............

I have really enjoyed John's analysis. I read his football thread about a year ago and found it interesting but I never followed it as to a win/loss situation. I have been away from SBR for about a year and came upon this thread of John's. Again it is most interesting, and I feel grateful that he is so generous to share. It does not hurt that he is certainly on a good run. I am aware of his NFL thread; does he have others? I certainly will follow this post with some points. Thanks again.

Thanks and glad you are back. I also run CFB thread.. Bowl season is here!

John Ryan · 12-14-11, 06:31 PM

tonight's play is a 5* on Northern Colorado as they take on Denver set to start at 9:05 PM ET. NC is +4 -110. This line could squeeze up to 4 1/2 so although I don't think it will be necessary, trying to get the extra 'hook' doesn't hurt.

Good Luck to everyone.

spike1519 · 12-14-11, 07:24 PM

Shit i misread it thought it was denver

John Ryan · 12-15-11, 04:12 PM

ok.. 5* graded play on Oral Roberts +12 -110 playing Gonzaga.

research for this play can found on the SBR site. Thanks

Record is 23-23-1 ATS for 5* Titans, 3-0 ATS for 10* Titans.

I will update the record after each day's plays so that we can all 'audit' them together. Thanks again everyone. This has been a fun run, but a lot of work lies ahead.

repski · 12-15-11, 05:49 PM

love this pick john....gl

RyanLeafOfBets · 12-15-11, 09:29 PM

Reno Gambler · 12-15-11, 10:40 PM

sweethook · 12-16-11, 01:40 AM

nice work john ,

spike1519 · 12-16-11, 05:24 PM

Picks tonight?

John Ryan · 12-16-11, 05:42 PM

5* graded play on Idaho State - 2 1/2 -110 as they take on Utah.

Research can be found on the article posted on the front page or the front page of the College Hoops section.

24-23-1 ATS with a 3-0 ATS 10* record. Oral Roberts did play well, actually better than I have anticipated. They may be a team worth back over the next several games.

Got on Cuse --7 last night but the line movement makes me a little nervous about it.

That line moved quick. You still think there's value in Florida -10.5?

yes, when I issue a play, it essentially gives me as much as five points wiggle room before the simulator would down grade the play. So, for future reference when I release a play get the best line you can. Thanks

Reno Gambler · 12-18-11, 11:42 AM

Any plays today?? you're HOT!!

John Ryan · 12-18-11, 12:48 PM

I have to admit, I have NO qualified plays today. So don't go out and force one. I do have three strong NFL plays though on the NFL thread.

I always remind myself; not making a play on a given card is FAR BETTER than forcing one just for the action . Thanks and see first thing Monday morning.

Reno Gambler · 12-18-11, 06:32 PM

Got it.

John Ryan · 12-19-11, 06:21 PM

overall record is 26-24 ATS with a 3-0 ATS mark on 10* titans.

5* Delaware + 3 -110 playing LaSalle at 7:00 PM ET.

Make sure you check out the NFL play for tonight as well. Thanks

Reno Gambler · 12-19-11, 07:31 PM

Missed your game, had to settle for Temple -3.5. I wanted Den/Wyoming OV 114, but the book I went to didn't have a total on the game. Leroy's Sportsbook really pisses me off. I wanted KC ML and they didn't even have that game. I ended up using your IND and MIN instead. KC would of replaced MIN.

Any input on Temple??

repski · 12-19-11, 08:51 PM

my hero!

JJJ · 12-19-11, 08:52 PM

Another winner John good job

John Ryan · 12-20-11, 04:30 PM

Thanks again and for the points.. all good.

tonight just one play.

5* play Gonzaga - 13 -110 against Butler.

John Ryan · 12-20-11, 04:34 PM

Butler head coach Brad Stevens is an excellent teacher of the game of basketball at the collegiate level. However, he has just two returning starters and they are struggling with ball movement and getting open look st the rim. They are hitting under 40% for the season. Gonzaga is in a rebuilding mode themselves, but has significant advantages in size, speed, and athleticism. Gonzaga will control the pace of play and look to run on every missed Butler shot. Gonzaga has advantages on the rebounding end and this will limit Butler second shot scoring opportunities.
