NCAA Basketball with John Ryan

[coachkap]

5* graded play on New Mexico as they host San Diego State in a huge Mountain West Conference showdown set to tip at 10:00 PM ET. Both teams enter this fray with identical 15-2 records, but it is the San Diego State Aztecs getting the respect as the No. 16 ranked team in the nation. This certainly has rubbed the Lobos and their head coach Steve Alford in a constructive way as they have ripped off 13 straight wins after a mediocre 2-2 start. get the rest of the reprot on the site..

Let me know your thoughts today on this game, and any others you think are good ones.

IMHO.... the play is SDSU getting the 10.5 points.... I know "the PIT" is one of the toughest places to win a college basketball game, however, SDSU has won outright there in 3 out of their last 5 games played.... Plus, the SDSU program is perceived to be "down" after losing players from their sweet sixteen push last year and New Mexico is a very deep team which might be "over-valued"..... "My play OF THE DAY" and I've already placed my 3X wager on SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY.... GOOD LUCK

I agree, BUT I have s light lean on the Longhorns. In my opinion, it is a no-play or a little taste on Texas.

[John Ryan]

you know what that means with the public betting that much adn the line climbing.. big best are on new Mexico and we got this play early too.

I pay quite a bit of attention to RLM, but at the same time, wouldn't you have to say that SDSU catching 11 right now is quite a bit for two seemingly evenly matched teams coming off great defensive efforts? Also considering the Aztec's most lopsided loss was by 10 to a far superior (compared to NM) opponent in Baylor on the road?

This fits into a nice methodology that I've been tracking on CBSC TV whereas the Fav is 7-0 when it lines up this way, so I've gotta think
it's a good one. At least I've had a few of the previous seven already. TC

Like the Lobos play but i think first half may be the better play as the pit will be rocking as loud as ever its going to be impossible for sdsu to match that energy. The first ten min or so and sdsu could get in quite a hole, than possibly settle in 2nd half

[zoo youk]

Got off to a 10 nothing start

Now 12 10

Ugh

I guess I didn't think k state would shoot 21 for 39 from the free throw line....what is that 54 percent? They could have won that game by dd if they did a little better from the charity stripe. Did they bring in Shaquille oneal to shoot those for them? I can't imagine they will go far in the tourney if they do that.......

yep, you were right on that. Out of his body experience.

[John Ryan]

42-42 with 5* Titans, 5-0 ATS with 10* Titans and 1-0 ATS with 20* Titans. That play was Temple plus eight defeating then No. 4 Duke 78-73.

entering Thursday night action

[BeardedTaco]

any cbb picks tonight?

[Zetterberg]

hello guys.. im from germany... what do you think about following 5 bets:

1 Loyola Maryland -4.5 Siena @ Loyola Maryland

2 Georgia Southern +14.5 Georgia Southern @ Furman

3 Wofford -2.5 Appalachian St @ Wofford

4 Davidson -3.5 Coll Of Charltn @ Davidson

5 Vanderbilt +11.0 Vanderbilt @ Alabama

Sounds like a bunch of teasers Zetterberg. Welcome aboard.
Teasers are always difficult to tie up correctly.
I've only played one teaser in my life in Bkb, just recently had a winner anyway, and tied it to a FB game

personally I like the other sides of 2 - 4 & 5, but my win % ordinarily isn't that good, so that bodes well
for you my friend. Best of luck in your endeavors.

Altho the best advice I can give you is to stay away from teasers. Its hard enough to pick one side, much
less two and going in they always sound good, kinda like the lottery numbers I play sometimes. They sound
like good numbers before the drawing. TC

5/5 buddy... hole in one... i hit them 3 outta 5 times evry night

[l@@kin4nedge]

good job Zetterberg. Can't ask for anything better than a perfect day.

I told you it would bode well for you, altho straight up I was only wrong on Alabama, but didn't have a strong
feel for that game and was leaning Vandy near tip off but couldn't pull the trigger myself on that game, altho in
hindsight I now wish I had, but pulled thru a 4-1 day myself for a nice profit too.

No offense meant when I suggested to stay with straight action, as that is what most of the experts I read
recommend, But one thing I've learned in my years is stick with what you personally have figured out and what
works for you -- as it is everyone's goal to cash the winners and I'd guess based on what you've indicated, you've
got that figured out OK. Keep up your good work, and as I said welcome aboard. TC

Nothing qualified for Friday Night, but there are several plays I am working on now for the Saturday card.

I also released a RARE 20* NFC Titan Total play. You can find the research on the fornt page of the site.

[justwinthisone]

John when u make a play does any type of line movement influence your play? Is that one of your perimeters or is it considered at all? Is that built into any of your simulators? Just curious and thanks in advance

[John Ryan]

5* Kentucky... sorry, we have been without internet for most of the morning due to a Northeast Snow storm.. you hopefully, saw the research on this game on the front page.. I will be back shortly with the other 5* graded plays on the Saturday card.

[John Ryan]

Line movement has almost NEVER affected a decision to make a play.. and that is over 18 years. I think far too much attention is given to late line movement.. those movements could be smart money, but it be be smart money buying back opening line best in their favor too. So, that is just one example, but I generally do not get too caught up with the movement. I do analyze betting flows and the subsequent line movement. That can alert you to a possible situation, but i only use that analysis to support my simulator projections.
