ND keeps dropping wtf?

**DOM_Toretto** · 01-31-15, 10:33 AM

Yeah chip if you're tailing me you'll likely get better lines across the board. I'm unfortunately not taking advantage of favorable line movement today. Oh well.

ML parlay Virginia & Louisville +108

Still debating this Kansas spread, it's moving a lot. If I can get -11 or lower I will pull the trigger.

**chipshipley** · 01-31-15, 11:07 AM

I just don't understand why pitt is getting this kind of respect I am stuck 2 grand this week and am ready to shoot it all

What's not to understand? Possible letdown game for ND plus Pit lost last 3 games in a row - extra motivation.

**chipshipley** · 01-31-15, 11:35 AM

Why ask for advice if you gonna bet them anyways? I think you bet ND even though I clearly explained why it's a bad play tonight...

Yeah I did, didn't you though as well? I just want some opposing thoughts I know pitt well and I think they are terrible and have been fading them and cashing in a lot. Your thoughts were correct tho

**John Deere** · 01-31-15, 03:25 PM

Where are all the other plays?

No I bet 1H, testing the new model just by stats. But yeah, that game was Pit or nothing.

I posted them all here, just on various posts. Haven't been going well though:

ND-5 L
Indiana St -11 L
Iowa +6 L
Kansas -11 Push (most ridiculous push ever. kstate guy makes his 2nd & 3rd 3 on the season with <1 min left in game to make it a push. One of them was a bank-in 3)
Central Michigan -8.5
Virginia -5
Virginia ML & Louisville ML parlay

Yeah that was bad...I had fukking 11'5.

**DOM_Toretto** · 01-31-15, 09:08 PM

Wow I cannot believe today. This whole week actually. I made a couple bad bets. But the vast majority of my bets have looked great 90% of the game and then end up as losers to some fluky bullshit. So fukkin frustrating.

I just put 8units on:

Gonzaga -17 vs Memphis

Thanks bud. I know you follow the sport closely and may be a tailer of mine. I'm sorry I've let everyone down this last week. Before Christmas I was near 65%... Now I'm down to 57%. I need to get better here. I know I'll do great in March as usual but I gotta step my game up in a major way for February for all of us.

**caoutlaw** · 01-31-15, 11:54 PM

Keep up the good work bro I still have faith in you. I have made money tailing

Its all good brother. We all go through a rough patch here and there. I know what you are capable of. February is ours for the taking.

**chipshipley** · 02-01-15, 12:44 AM

Nice Bail out DOM, I hit mine in excruciating fashion with 1300 riding on UC Davis ML .

You're a penetrating CBB STUD bro keep em comin. You gotta shoot your way outta the slump. When i look for a CBB pick to tail or just for an opinion i come to this thread first, every time.

**dogcity** · 02-01-15, 03:23 AM

There's only a couple of threads that I follow...this is one. I don't always tail...but always appreciate the insight.

Cheers bud...keep your head up.

**DOM_Toretto** · 02-01-15, 06:16 PM

Thanks for the support guys.

Goin light on Patriots pickem today. Also got props on coin toss Heads, opening kickoff touchback, gronk to score a td, national anthem over 2mins, and I might throw a tiny bit on seeing Katy come out showing off her legs (dress or skirt). All in fun. Good luck!

Worked out well actually

Coin toss heads - L
Opening touchback - L (8/9 kick offs were touchback, but not the first one.)
Nat'l anthem over - W
Gronk td - W
Patriots pickem - W
Patriots pickem 2H - W
Patriots +9.5 live bet - W

Virginia pickem @ North Carolina

I really like this matchup. Better spot that both teams are coming off losses. Virginia controlled the majority of their game, but now they know they're not invincible and need to keep their hustle on for 40 mins. Meanwhile Paige said their disheartening OT loss at louisville will stick with them for awhile.

Duke beat Virginia by hitting some circus 3s, 5 of them down the stretch to come back. VaTech kept it close with UVa by launching tons of 3s which stretched the UVa defense to open up lanes to the rim. But UNC does not attempt many 3s at all, and don't make them when they do. So Virginia can get back to its roots and clog the interior and close driving lanes.

One of UNC's main strengths is their ability to pull down the (top 5) most offensive boards. The Hoos can diminish that advantage with their own strength of pulling down (top 15) defensive rebounds. If you limit the heels' second chances you run away with a win.

**jjgold** · 02-02-15, 10:30 AM

Torretto I do not like it

Even though VA should of beat Duke..The Blue Devils were clearly better and game was at VA

NC basically beat Louisville 2x this year

Team is very underrated

Hopefully you scrolled up ^ and saw my write up on Virginia.

**DOM_Toretto** · 02-02-15, 08:57 PM

And on someone else's thread I predicted a double digit Virginia win

**MitoLacoste** · 02-02-15, 10:18 PM

nice one!

**red12sox** · 02-03-15, 03:06 PM

Had Virginia myself. Liking the sooners and pirates so far tonight.

**DOM_Toretto** · 02-03-15, 03:09 PM

Seton Hall -2 @ DePaul
Lost by 4 a couple weeks ago after having a decent lead with 5 to go, then gave the game away for DePaul to win. DePaul is the BEast's best 3pt shooting team yet shot 18% against one of the best perimeter Ds in SH. With whitehead back it tremendously helps 3pt% and scoring in general since Gibbs has been the only guard who could score lately. His return is also key against a DePaul team who is committing close to the most fouls in the country.

**DOM_Toretto** · 02-03-15, 06:47 PM

Miami +5 vs Louisville
Bad spot for l'ville after emotional win, coach gave them a very rare day off, now traveling to Miami before Virginia. Miami plays up to their comp. They need this win. If Angel shows the fukk up they will make this high scoring and l'ville can't keep up without going to the line a ton - but Miami doesn't foul much. Meanwhile I see Jekiri givin Trez problems, if Montrezl gets in foul trouble the cards could fall way behind.

**DOM_Toretto** · 02-03-15, 10:14 PM

Seton Hall -3 2H
