ryanXL977 · 03-07-09, 04:07 PM

mr cooltimes? lt? anybody
come the **** on

uconn suxks

Fiasco · 03-07-09, 04:13 PM

I can't see it higher than 6

MonkeyF0cker · 03-07-09, 04:30 PM

Not at home right now so I can't run the numbers...

ryanXL977 · 03-07-09, 04:30 PM

i think it will be unc-7.5, unc -300 orso

Chi_archie · 03-07-09, 04:33 PM

Unc -6.5 is my guess

MonkeyF0cker · 03-07-09, 04:34 PM

If I had to guess, I'd say close to -10 UNC...

ryanXL977 · 03-07-09, 04:36 PM

i honestly think it could be 10- also
unc is heads and shoulders better, and i dont see how duke can run with them, on the road, for 40 mins

but i also thought cincy and uconn were good bets so **** me

MonkeyF0cker · 03-07-09, 04:39 PM

It may be lower than that due to Lawson's injury, however. Perhaps, -8.5...

Fiasco · 03-07-09, 04:40 PM

this is duke...

and carolina...

and both are good this year...

give me duke +10 any day in this series...

ryanXL977 · 03-07-09, 04:48 PM

lawsons out?

MonkeyF0cker · 03-07-09, 04:49 PM

Not sure. Questionable I think.

LT Profits · 03-07-09, 04:56 PM

Duke is the banged up team here.

Around UNC -9

ryanXL977 · 03-07-09, 04:57 PM

what about ml lt

LT Profits · 03-07-09, 05:02 PM

If I am right about the -9, then around -425

ryanXL977 · 03-07-09, 05:06 PM

damn
i wanted to go to reno and put 10k on unc to win 3k

whats the most i can bet and pull out in reno wihtout filling out a tax form? does it have to be under 10k. menaing id have to bet like 8k to win like 1800 so it owuld be under 10k?

MonkeyF0cker · 03-07-09, 05:13 PM

I don't know about Reno but here you need to use your players card at most casinos for anything over $1k. And that can be tracked for tax purposes as well. But yeah, as far as tax forms go, it'd have to be over $10k or an 800:1 or greater.

ryanXL977 · 03-07-09, 05:14 PM

meaning the 10k in total (winnings+ initial bet), or id have to bet 10k to fill out a form?
thanks

MonkeyF0cker · 03-07-09, 05:18 PM

10k in winnings

ryanXL977 · 03-07-09, 05:41 PM

ok, im misphrasing or misunderstanding

1.i want to bet 10k on unc ml, they win, i get back 12500
do i fill tax form?

2. i bet 8k on unc ml -400, i net 10k, do i fill out form?

i guess im asking, if i pull out 10k in cash, regardless of if its from a win or initial wager, what happens

MonkeyF0cker · 03-07-09, 05:43 PM

Only $10k in winnings. Doesn't matter how much you bet. i.e. You shouldn't have to fill out the form.

Fiasco · 03-07-09, 05:44 PM

10k is fine to bet and all but remember it is a rivalry game and crazier things have happened...

just make sure it doesn't matter if duke wins tomorrow

I want to play the unc ml but refuse to lay over 3 to 1 on this series

ryanXL977 · 03-07-09, 05:45 PM

oh sweet
of course i know unc could lose
but i dont think duke is nearly as good as people think
i think they have one good , maybe two good, players
i really dont think they are that good
i would use the word suck but im trying not to today

Fiasco · 03-07-09, 05:47 PM

I hate duke more then life itself but they live and die by the 3 and when those homosexuals hit they're unstoppable...

they haven't really been that way as much this year but it's just how they play in general year after year...

why else would they recruit so many white players

ryanXL977 · 03-07-09, 05:52 PM

is there any chance in hell the ml would be -300? any?

and thanks for your help on that monkey/cooltimes

ryanXL977 · 03-07-09, 06:00 PM

line is out

unc-8

i was .5 off

Fiasco · 03-07-09, 06:04 PM

what's the ml?

ryanXL977 · 03-07-09, 06:06 PM

not up but presumably it will be about -350 or so

LT Profits · 03-07-09, 06:12 PM

Will it actually depends on the total, but -350 sounds in the ballpark.

Ralphie1412 · 03-07-09, 06:23 PM

if lawson doesnt play duke +8 looks good.

LT Profits · 03-07-09, 06:26 PM

I think this line assumes Lawson is playing. If he is out, may drop to -6.

Fiasco · 03-07-09, 10:18 PM

lawson didn't practice today...

he will see limited time if any at all

that is why I didn't think it would be this high... I'm gonna hop on duke and try to middle it late tomorrow if it drops

Mac4Lyfe · 03-07-09, 11:32 PM

I don't worry about the 3's with Duke as much as the ref's. Duke get's the benefit of calls whether they are at home or away. Expect to see several BS charging calls where the Duke defender slides underneath the shooter and they are notorious for setting moving picks that are never called. Duke is the one team that knows how to get away with fouling and are all great actors to pick up calls on their end. Mike K knows how to coach for an academy award. You have to always be concerned with the refs in a Duke contest. It is a MAJOR factor IMO.

Ryan - check with the book before you lay on their IRS reporting rules. I've seen different rules just walking door to door on the strip. I've had to report at $3K before so just be aware. You can split the tickets up if that's a concern. You and your girl make 2 seperate bets, if you know what I mean. I like UNC ML but I don't know if I like them $10K like. Basketball is always a crapshoot for me. I do much better at college football. Too many things can happen from game to game. If that's your usual lay then go for it. My units are C notes. GL2U

MonkeyF0cker · 03-07-09, 11:54 PM

Uhh. The rules are set by the IRS, not the book.

MonkeyF0cker · 03-08-09, 12:04 AM

In 2009, it's actually $5k in a single win or anything greater than 300:1. You can find the form (W-2G) on the IRS website.
