Notre Dame could be a play of the year for me

**topgame85** · 03-25-09, 07:11 AM

I had kentucky the other night and have never seen a less inspired team pull out a win, the SEC is not what it used to be with Auburn and Florida both falling to underdogs, (Played Auburn and got hit, Nailed PSU ML and with the pts big)

**jjgold** · 03-25-09, 07:52 AM

The thing about gamblers when they love a play it always is the play of the year and usually plays of the year happen more than once and usually at end of year. There is no such thing as a play of the year as each play has the smae chance of winning. Good Luck On your play.

Hey I'm on Kentucky...and the PLAY OF THE YEAR thread always builds bad karma....Thanks

**topgame85** · 03-25-09, 09:20 AM

Well one of us will be a winner at least pal, I just was disgusted with kentucky's play in the last game, that being said today is a new day but the defense was atrocious and they looked like it was the teams first game together with running into each other etc. If I could I would play ND action pts unfortunately I cn't get that anywhere I play

**onthewhat** · 03-25-09, 09:21 AM

Love ND as well....

This is what I'm talking about. These teams with horrible defense piss me off, but Kentucky has the x-factor...Meeks. His offense is good enough to erase their lack of effort on the defensive side. GL bro, but my theory about PoftheY threads is probably the best bet of the day. Holla

**topgame85** · 03-25-09, 09:35 AM

Onner, i pulled the trigger on kentucky the other night after planning to bet Creighton all day but as soon as the game ended I was waiting for this number to come out to bet ND I though it would be in the -5 to -8 pt range at -2.5 I'm on it hard

Hou, You are very right about Meeks I just think he will have to step up in a big way tonight for it to be enough against the better team from the better conference

meeks??????????hahahahahahahahahahahah

harangody and the irish are soooooo tough at home.if nd could hanbg with l'ville earlier in the season,they should SLAUGHTER kentucky tonight at home.........i agree that all bets have a chance to lose,but i have some HUGE coin on nd moneyline tonight.

**onthewhat** · 03-25-09, 09:42 AM

Meeks is in the dog house guys...he does not like Coach Gillispie one bit

Meeks sat for a 7 minute stretch the other night for no reason at all, wasn't in foul trouble, not hurt...

**bradleysnyder** · 03-25-09, 09:43 AM

meeks aint no x factor...i will take harangody over meeks ANY DAY!

Play of the year threads 90% of the time = bet on the other side. I don't see an edge here, so I'd always take the points.

**topgame85** · 03-25-09, 09:52 AM

I'm going similar to onner the other day putting my reputation on the line for this one I think its out of hand by half time

**blittydeuce** · 03-25-09, 10:11 AM

on it. lets cash it topper

**AMBlai01** · 03-25-09, 10:12 AM

My big concern about this game is that its a game to actually get to the garden in which they would actually be playing for something. As uninspired as Kentucky looked the other night, there is actually some light at the end of the tunnel and they could possibly salvage the season with an NIT championship and they are very close to that goal now....

**PsychoQ** · 03-25-09, 10:13 AM

honestly i think nd has an advantage just playing in the big east..

**topgame85** · 03-25-09, 10:21 AM

I agree with both points amby and psycho, but amby i think the same applies for ND, remember this is the team who had a 30+ game home winning streak and was faves at home against Uconn earlier this year, now they are playing a weak SEC team with really only 2 really decent players

**Madetowin** · 03-25-09, 10:28 AM

Taking the points in this one. easy call

**Chi_archie** · 03-25-09, 10:34 AM

don't base your bet on Harangody, he has almost no impact on ND winning or losing... he gets the same points, and rebs basically ever game win or lose.... and they lost a lot with him having big games.

the real keys to ND winning are having their gaurds actually defend and shut down the drives to the basket, and for them to shoot well...

**onthewhat** · 03-25-09, 10:43 AM

Well UK's point guard couldn't start for a MVC team. UK can't drive, Meeks gets stripped every time he tries. UK leads the nation in wide open three pointers allowed too

Kentucky = 0 defense, creighton should have hit that open 3 to win the game the other night, no defense at ND for trip to semis in NY, big east against SEC, this is a no-brainer, we could lose onner but the odds are on our side

**brooks85** · 03-25-09, 11:30 AM

o god. please do not put your money on either of these teams. That would be incredibly irresponsible. UK is 5-0 at ND but both teams are way too inconsistent.

**ChArRiT** · 03-25-09, 11:35 AM

dont you guy like the over in this game, it looks like both teams could light the scoreboard, plus it could be a close game, meaning fouls and free points... what do you think?

**HoulihansTX** · 03-25-09, 11:42 AM

Last five Kentucky games have gone under tho... leaning on the trend

**jjgold** · 03-25-09, 11:45 AM

Everyone thinks ND is real easy which means a lot of trouble. I need more info on this game, Kentucky is no slouch

**topgame85** · 03-25-09, 11:47 AM

Sometimes you just get a gift JJ like PSU last night took them with pts and ML, then thought had to be a trap but cashed ez

**MJFtheGenius** · 03-25-09, 11:50 AM

do not do it

**topgame85** · 03-25-09, 11:54 AM

too late mj

best analysis in this thread

not to mention harangody tends to struggle when matched up against a quick strong guy...like patrick patterson...ive seen guys like blair and onuaku throw completely off his game...patterson isnt quite as strong as those two...but hes close...and a little quicker

that being said..im still playing nd

**brooks85** · 03-25-09, 12:19 PM

I guess thats the reason I stay in the positive. I dont bet on games that are toss ups. ND might come in tonight and roll or not, but either way their is no edge in this game. Though UK dominates ND historically.

**bobby heenan** · 03-25-09, 12:25 PM

i stay in the positive too....but betting games with tight spreads is the actually the easier way to make money for me....u usually dont have to worry about losing because of ridiculous BS...most of the time in games like these...if yer on the right side...you will cover....

great examples....nova/ucla...cuse/asu...those were a bit easier though

id also say that this game being played at the joyce center would tilt the edge to ND...and the fact that kentucky has been traveling
