"Memphis very lucky to win that game"

How do you figure? Memphis dominated most of that game.

Now I remember why I stopped coming here. I feel dumber just for having clicked this thread.

Just a bunch of crybabies.

Saint Mary's shot the ball as bad as they possibly could and still only missed the cover by the hook. Dominated? You're an idiot. You don't dominate by making shots

artyfudgepacker · 03-21-13, 05:18 PM

im in getback mode for rest of nite

I'm with doughut. If you honestly don't believe Memphis dominated that game and should of won by double digits then I don't think you watched the same game as me. They took Dellavedova out of the game and only blew a decent lead because of their inability to hit free throws aided with a few turnovers due to a few players fearing even going to the line.

how do you explain the Holt kid going 1-12+ from the field? The Levesque kid was way off all day. It was a freak result

Memphis should have won going away all things considered......How many times did they hit both free throws down the stretch? I don't think they did once out of like 8 or 9 tries.

Also they turned the ball over in dumb ways atleast 3, 4 times down the stretch as well

I guess that's who Memphis is though (All athleticism and no brains)

Either way, it's tough to lose by the hook twice

Because they were harassed by the athleticism of Memphis. Whether they were getting their hands on passes, blocking shots, or simply adjusting shots or closing out well it clearly affected the less athletic St. Mary's team.

good defense doesn't make a kid go 1-12 from the field.

Speedy88 · 03-21-13, 05:34 PM

Bought off the hook on STM thank goodness. And got Valpo at +11 last night. Two extremely lucky pushes.

thanks cowboys, i have grown weary of dealing with the memphis haters on my own...

jds07v · 03-21-13, 06:00 PM

We all know that memphis is terrible at the line. That should not be a surprise. They dominated the 1st half, and then were able to hold on

Itsamazing777 · 03-21-13, 06:05 PM

That's why you always buy the hook! I learned the hard way. Now I always do.

Not really, lol. A win is a win. I'd much rather sacrifice 30-40 dollars worth of winnings to not worry about the hook. Thanks though!

Do you think the end result of all games is determined by the hook 8% of the time or more? If you do, I can't help you. Continue to let your money leak away. And that's just for switching from -110 to -120 on a non-critical number such as 10.5.

EaglesPhan36 · 03-21-13, 06:44 PM

Just dumb/bad luck when these sort of things happen. I agree - buying the hook every time is not great planning. Good luck the rest of the night dudes.

TobiasFunke · 03-21-13, 06:46 PM

Davidson ML

Itsamazing777 · 03-21-13, 06:49 PM

Well I guess it's different for me
i bet a higher amount on only a few games a week.Good luck!

I'll do it around the 2.5-3.5 line but thats it

Powderguy · 03-21-13, 07:09 PM

Memphis dominated from the tip....not sure how you see it any other way...lucky you even had a shot

MrTwiz · 03-21-13, 07:12 PM

Idk how but people are saying it was a miracle cover for valpo. I got it at 10.5 idk where it was 11

probably because I look at the game more than HOW WELL A TEAM SHOT THE BASKETBALL. Not that hard

thfootball · 03-22-13, 07:17 PM

My betting website, Partybets, decreased the amount i can bet today. I wanted to put a 100 on Miami Fl today, and they let me do only 67 at most now!!!! Not that i'm getting rich doing this. Now that's a bad hook.

anybody heard of that place before?

thfootball · 03-25-13, 08:33 PM

Partybets.com just reduced me to betting $40 now. I've done as much as 300 during college bowl season, but with the a past week i've bet the odd 100, but now it's getting plan stupid. They even lowered my limit on live betting, which i used about 4 times, and never did exceed over 50...yeeshh...time to cash out i guess, pist off.

Why would you leave the hook on a spread like 1.5? When so many games are decided by 1 or 2 pts.

3 is the most common end result in basketball. No value in buying anywhere else

I made quite a few big plays that I got saved from buying the hook. It comes into play a lot on small spreads.
