5* Georgetown and 5* West Virginia so far.. taking extra time to see how things play out with some of the later games.. Line movements etc. appreciate any feedback/comments/ ideas?

5mike5 · 03-07-12, 12:05 PM

Ncs87ftball · 03-07-12, 12:38 PM

Hey John,

I'm feeling tempted to hit the S Florida over at though its at 120. They scored 116 at Nova WITHOUT Wayns and when they played at S Florida with Wayns back on 1/5 they hit 131 with Wayns scoring 17. Nova is young and has started to show signs of maturity. They should be able to hit 120... Of course like I said, they are also young and it's hard to trust them...but on a neutral court I think we can hit 120... THOUGHTS EVERYBODY???

rjp322 · 03-07-12, 12:45 PM

Take the under in every S. Florida game and you will be a happy man. Pretty sure like 8 of their last 9 have gone under

Ncs87ftball · 03-07-12, 01:22 PM

yeah I know but I think the line is set for February Nova not March Nova... Who still sucks, but can score 60 points in a loss.

I was on Uconn early before I saw your pick. am with you with Gtown,I have never seen a team get so many chances to tie or win in OT. Huggins is gonna have a stroke.

John Ryan · 03-07-12, 06:15 PM

West Virginia certainly gagged... Georgetown wins..

you will,, I am not doing all that well myself right now. I am against you on the cincy game, but not sure if I am going to use that one in the contest. Like Kansas and Oklahoma State as may articles show.

BeardedTaco · 03-08-12, 01:27 PM

JR I really like what you bring to the site but cmon

The Georgetown -3 number I could let it slide since it was posted at 9:54 am on ur research page. But the Kansas -14 wasntt and only -14.5/-15 is out there right now. Anybody can post a winning record when the shave off 0.5 off sides.

Why would you not? Its a 10* play and your others are not. Your 5* plays really struggle so Im confused as to why u wouldnt use it

It is never fun to get a different line from what he posts, but I can almost guarantee you that even with a .5 to 1pt difference in the line would still make people losers long term in this industry. He has spoken of this multiple times in this thread about not sweating the small line movement. Granted, some plays may lose/win based on this slight difference in numbers, but I bet you John would agree that it would not affect his ability to be a winning player in this industry. I for one am going to take -15 and will not have any gripes doing so. BOL to you pink taco

BeardedTaco · 03-08-12, 01:48 PM

-14 and -15 is one thing but -3 vs -3.5 is huge. Just giving a fair warning to people looking to load up on a -3.5 closing line

Not really, they still are going to have to win by 4 in both circumstances for it to be a winner. The only difference is that it could be a push at -3 instead of a loss at -3.5 if they win by three. Don't sweat it taco.

chief42 · 03-08-12, 01:56 PM

Close finish in the Cuse game, lets hope UConn misses this shot with a minute left and then proceed to foul Cuse ftw!

chief42 · 03-08-12, 02:06 PM

I have a strong feeling Syracuse will get ousted in the tournament rather early. Onto the next one!

Ncs87ftball · 03-08-12, 02:57 PM

John,

did you ever get that direct message I sent you about the Texas A&M game yesterday?? just curious...

ifiwaspresident · 03-08-12, 03:02 PM

Tailing on GTown but add a hook for me.

Uniden · 03-08-12, 03:12 PM

It won't (should not) matter!!! GT should win by DD!

johno35 · 03-08-12, 03:53 PM

Hey John, I see on the front page you are on Oklahoma St. +11.5 but you didn't give a * rating, is it just a 5*?

johno35 · 03-08-12, 03:58 PM

Kansas only -6 2nd half

Uniden · 03-08-12, 04:01 PM

Yes they are always 5* unless otherwise indicated.

Uniden · 03-08-12, 04:35 PM

WOW!!! We got lucky so far on GT!!!! Damn! They score 4 points in five minutes and Cincy scores 14! We are lucky to be alive. GOOOOOO GT!!!!!

chief42 · 03-08-12, 04:40 PM

Georgetown went cold in the last minutes of second half. Lucky to get overtime, maybe they can get it going there. Does not look good though. Probably need double OT to win by 4, they don't deserve it though the way they finished today.

chief42 · 03-08-12, 04:46 PM

double OT sweet

chief42 · 03-08-12, 05:02 PM

Georgetown

Uniden · 03-08-12, 05:03 PM

They deserved to lose that game!!!!! No way they should have gone five minutes without a basket!! Just shows you how strong they are. NOT! Oh well, on to the next games!

John Ryan · 03-08-12, 05:53 PM
