The Official "I Called In Sick Today" Thread

Romanov · 03-08-12, 08:21 AM

One of the most unproductive days of the year for me

mrtsummit · 03-08-12, 08:29 AM

I took a beating yesterday too. Early games I'm on Baylor -2.5. Good Luck

dartmouthemcee · 03-08-12, 08:31 AM

I like MARYLAND - 4 and CUSE -7 early as well..don't think UCONN has anything in the tank...

maybe do a CUSE 1st half bet since the huskies seem to be a 2nd half team right now.

dartmouthemcee · 03-08-12, 08:32 AM

I woke up...looked at ESPN's schedule of games for the day, and immediately reached for the phone to call in.

I would be useless at work today if I went in

mrtsummit · 03-08-12, 08:44 AM

I like the Cuse too. Idaho should be another solid play.

Chet86 · 03-08-12, 08:50 AM

I did pretty well yesterday. Went hard on Georgetown at -4.5.

I really like Maryland -4.5, Syracuse at -6, and Georgetown at -2.5

dartmouthemcee · 03-08-12, 08:53 AM

I think GTOWN is safe...but CINCY is clicking right now as well ... no play on that game for me

Madison · 03-08-12, 08:58 AM

Check the under on the Ill/Iowa. 134 seems pretty high to me. Over the course of the season these early morning games (the ones I noted) have gone under at a pretty high %. GL.

dartmouthemcee · 03-08-12, 09:31 AM

The under in that game does look tempting based on recent games...

I can't see both teams burning down the barn today

mp5070 · 03-08-12, 09:39 AM

Hoyas is good play....very solid defense, maybe one of the best i have seen so far in Big East...also a revenge game that Hoyas do really well in

dartmouthemcee · 03-08-12, 10:00 AM

Hope you get to feeling better dartmouth

I get a ton of vacation days and other days off

I took a vacation day today and scheduled off for next Thursday and Friday. Today was really just for a day off though and a much needed break. The hoops is just icing on the cake.

I'm holding off on cracking one open till around 2-4pm though

diveoregon · 03-08-12, 11:22 AM

I'm jealous! West coaster here, so it's just past 8, and I am just about to head to work. I work in a sports bar, so at least I get to see the games. Busiest couple weeks of the year for us, so no days off allowed. And while I do get to see the games, unfortunately I get to serve booze instead of consume until 4pm or so.

As for picks, I've beeen killing it the last couple days. Only ML plays for me this time of year, I'll buy the extra in most cases to kill the points. Every other person I talk to is getting killed by the Zebras, good or bad foul shooting, just to tough to call when games can swing 6-8 pts in the last 30 seconds. I would rather find a 2 or 3 team ML parlay to get straight to even odds, or better, than roll with the points in a game like Cuse/Uconn. So, for the morning, here it is:

Cuse -330, Smiss -290, Indiana -800. (1:.971)
NCstate -900, SDSU -320, Gtown -170, UCSB -550. (1:1.74)

Well it's off to work I go, have fun all, I'll try and check back prior to the 4pm games(PST).

Really? Tons of people drink "Black and Tan" 1/2 Bass 1/2 Guiness? Guiness actually brews a beer Newcastle that comes pretty close. Beer isn't alcohol anyway is it?

Having a Keystone Light, off today and tomorrow.
On the Baylor Bears -2 early. Better offense and rebounding.

Toast on Syr 1H. Think I'm toast on ILL/IA also. Their pace is scorching right now.

if you weren't sick already, the baylor bears neon unis will make you puke! seriously looks like the kinda threads that the florida dept of corrections make state prisoners wear when picking up garbage on the side of I95 in the jailhouse chain gang road crews.

ifiwaspresident · 03-08-12, 02:43 PM

ILL/IA suddenly slowed down and gave me the under. Whew. From last night til now I'm sitting on +300 PHI -6, +300 on MEM/GS o192.5, +300 on ILL/IA u134 and -315 on Syr 1H -4. Got 550/500 on GT -3.5 right now. C'mon Hoyas. Let's do this!

Won on Baylor Bears, unloading on Northwestern -2 and 1/2. Shurna will carry team.

then, TOP play of the DAY, Notre Dame -3, far superior team.

nothing like making money at home on a sick day!

ifiwaspresident · 03-08-12, 03:00 PM

Just caught the Baylor unis. Ouch. Looks like my kid attacked their jerseys with a highlighter.
