Multiple Dimes

Don't care what the "public" does

Sometimes

Never

I usually have one team that's my horse and ill bet them to cover every spread. All the rest is MLs for me - especially on 9-13 seeded dogs in early rounds, 4&5 seed dogs later on typically.

I like gonzaga to exceed expectations and KU to roll deeeep again. L'ville and msu round out my squads

Da Beer Guy · 02-28-13, 12:47 PM

thats a good strategy.

i definitely agree with you on Gonzaga and KU.

Those teams have so much size they can score down low and win even if they have a poor shooting performance.

Often times teams that rely on the 3 pointer get bounced bc the big arenas are hard to shoot in.

Fun Facts from last years tourney :

The spread only mattered 5 out of 36 games in the 1st round. (13.88%)
BCS teams vs non-BCS were 20-14-1 ATS
Atlantic10 was 6-1 ATS while Big12/ACC together were 11-15 ATS

Will be fading the bit ten. Conference is strong but getting SO much credit it may be overvalued. Big ten has one one title since 1990 so they need to show me first. Even if they ARE the top conference by a wide margin the lines will reflect that. So fading that logic seems like a good spot.

Gonzaga exceed expectations? Basically you're saying they win it all, cause short of that I think they would be doing pretty much what's expected. Unless you mean the idiots who think this Zag's team is going to be done in the first two round.

Da Beer Guy · 02-28-13, 01:26 PM

zaga could win it all. their guards are kinda small but they have depth and they can beat you a bunch of different ways

Could as in no non-major conference team has ever won one in how long besides UNLV's NBA team?

Da Beer Guy · 02-28-13, 01:42 PM

Butler got within inches but couldnt pull it off.

Last year Kentucky was head and shoulders above everyone else this year i think there are about 20 teams capable of getting hot and pulling off 6 wins in a row

I like to parlay the 1 seeds in the 1st round and like previously mentioned, some moneyline dogs in the 9-13 range usually help me win some good win in the tournament. Literally almost anybody can win the championship this year.

EASports · 02-28-13, 02:09 PM

Just Fade the Hell out of Ole Piss if they make it. One of the more phony teams in college.

milwaukee mike · 02-28-13, 02:11 PM

i like to bet on inside info, mostly revolving around when my buddy davante gardner (marquette) is gonna play with energy and when he's not

without inside info, you're just guessing and playing angles that don't exist

If you done have inside info, you dont have anything

BIGDAY · 02-28-13, 02:19 PM

Lines too sharp.

I always reduce bet size for tourny.

same here,,once conf tourneys are over i tone it way down...when brackets come out i usually pick a team i like in each region with decent odds of getting out and play them, usually make a play or 2 on a few conf ov/un wins, then pretty much just play for fun during the games..

Yes they could win it all. More reasonably, a final four appearance. I get that (if they are) a #1 seed generally is expected to make a FF, but I feel like this year all the hate is on zaga and people will be picking them to lose in the sweet & elite.

mistermatt891 · 02-28-13, 02:37 PM

ill do an open parlay of 10 teams and do all the #1 seeds to start and then try to pick 6 more as the tourney progresses

Powderguy · 02-28-13, 02:49 PM

who knows, seriously WHO has any idea.....

konck · 02-28-13, 02:53 PM

Well first 2 rds I bet all unders and what ever Brock pks im on the other side.

Brock taking 30k with him on his Euro vacation to bet the games.

Well, it is basically my holiday to fukk off everything and anything. Always empty accounts.

I do about as well as I do year round, which is weird because I don't have nearly the access to info when I place the majority of my wagers.

It's Vegas, place is -EV anyway.

For you pro-gamblers though, I understand the stance.

3 years ago I played every single game the first two rounds, (Sadly only $20 on each), and did very well (W/L record) - but the dogs that year bailed me out.

2 years ago, I tried to be all technical, using fancy numbers and didn't get damn near any bets in. That year fukkin blew. Didn't lose any money but, I didn't risk any either - which then fails the whole point of going to Vegas.

1 year ago, I lost my ass, won some back playing 3 card poker though. Still - terrible year. Worst I can remember. Wildcats were in the NIT for the first time in my life. Kentucky and Kansas made the finals - it was truly a situation in where I hoped the earth opens up and swallows this whole goddamned arena, just so one of these shitty schools doesn't win. Terrible.

This year, plan on avoiding playing ATS as often as possible.

We should say "30k."

ATS or ML?

cant wait for the tourny , wish it started sooner!

High3rEl3m3nt · 03-01-13, 02:58 PM

While I like to watch March Madness, I can't bet this tournament. Too hard for me to follow CBB on top of NHL and occasionally NBA. I don't know how you guys are able to hone in on so many different sports. NHL and MLB all the way. No spreads and dogs often win. Much easier.

its hard man. I cant fukk with NBA or NHL.

I really know my stuff when it comes to MLB or NFL . I admit i'm not very good at college hoops betting but i just refuse to watch NHL or NBA its just boring as hell so Ncaa hoops is the only thing i can bet on in between NFL and MLB

kuyyo_morro · 03-01-13, 04:51 PM

I bet $200-300 per night. Sometimes like Saturdays around $500.

Not betting any games but have a third of my bankroll on ncaab futures

Got Nc State, Miami, St. Louis, New Mexico, and Kansas St. in that order if any of those teams win I make a profit.

If you mean winning the whole tournament, then none of those teams will be winning. You can still hedge can profit if you got good enough odds though.

Mike, is Gardner going to bring it versus ND tomorrow?

rm18 · 03-02-13, 01:10 AM

yeh to win it all

Indiana has the best chance but outside of them MIami and St. are as good as anyone. I got MIami at 200/1 and St. Louis at 150/1 in vegas NC State my odds suck though

I got those 3 out in Vegas and smaller on KSU At 200/1 and NM 300/1 online
