Bankers ncaa hoops season long thread

[2daBank]

Loyola +9.5.. they got the size to hang w bruins down low and think they can slow the young bruins down to their pace which should allow them to stay in this one.

Minny/osu under 138.. hoping oddsmakers have this right w spread climbing up to 8.5, if that is on and osu has sizeable lead late I suspect we will come in under this number. Buckeyes defense has been fantastic right up until cuse came in and shot lights out from 3. I don’t see minny doing any such thing,, don’t think minny will enjoy as many trips to the charity stripe as they accustomed, and suspect osu has them struggling to crack 60. Gophers size should limit osu on the offensive end and suspect they finish right around 70.

Unreal start to the thread

Mother fukker rarely loses

Just trying to do my part coach, we all gotta pull our own weight around here!!!

[2daBank]

They blowing whistle way more than I’d like to see to start this minny/osu game. Let them play a little refs!!

Love your thread dude. Like reading the thoughts behind the plays. I know some say it doesn't matter and it may not. Certainly makes it more interesting though. Thanks for the thread.

Glad you enjoy it pal. Guess it depends how you look at it whether it matters, It mostly numbers to me but those numbers tell a story so might as well share what I see. When I’m looking around for a play in a sport that not one I cap much I like guys to give me little incite as to why they like it. Also just helps sometimes cause we all see things different, never hurts to look at something from a different point of view.

Damn, we had minny total pretty much pegged. Osu scores more than anticipated and we come away w a push. Should have capped this one sooner as I noticed it opened little higher. Oh well, what can ya do?

Do you watch a ton of games, or mostly research data?

I watch a decent amount throughout the year but plays based off numbers.

Clunker to end the night, sorry bout that, we try to get it right today!! 35-17 overall.

Iowa/Michigan st over 156...not real sure why number coming down a little?? I think the way these teams match up should lead to a up tempo affair, these guys played a shootout at Iowa last season with both teams ending up in the 90’s, and both teams playing at similar pace or even faster in Spartys case than last year. Iowa is getting to the charity stripe at the highest clip in the nation and sparty has given away a high number of freebies so I’d think we will see Iowa scoring a lot w the clock stopped. Iowa also taking and missing a lot of 3s which gonna allow for sparty to get out and push it, not sure Iowa gonna be able to prevent them from getting theirs in transition off those misses. I expect Sparty to approach 90 and Iowa will give us the rest to get conformably over this number.

Not sure why so much money is coming in on the under????? Any injuries or player updates?

I scanned around real quick before I put play in and didn’t see anything. I’ve long since given up trying to read anything into line moves and just play where I see value. Occasionally after the fact be like “damn guess someone knew something” like that anteater game the other day, other times way I saw it was correct and move didn’t mean shit. Ultimately I don’t think paying attention to the moves amounts to any more than flipping a coin so I just try to get in at numbers I like and let it play out how it will.

Yesh I agree some people get too wrapped up in line movements. But I’ll wait to put this in, total went down 2 points and it seems like money still coming in on under! Going to watch it up until Tip. Let’s get it tonight!!

I considered waiting a little longer but I gotta go take care of some things and might not get back to it. Hopefully bottom don’t fall out before tip and im left w crappy number. Really think this one gets into the 160s tho, we shall see. Gl tonight.

Liberty +5.5... actually getting the better team here as dogs. Liberty guards and shooting should keep them in this game vs a hoyas team who hasn’t defended the perimeter well at all. If liberty can hang on the glass I think they could pull the upset here, don’t get too carried away cause they are undersized so that could be a problem. I do think they can make shots tho and if they can control the pace and limit possessions this should come down to the wire.

[kj8210]

any thoughts on a side in the sparty game bank?

[kj8210]

also leaning Rutgers +12. What do you think?

It such a big number, not really sure. I have Sparty by right around 10 but I could see it being more. Coin flip on whether they cover imo.

[2daBank]

also leaning Rutgers +12. What do you think?

Points obviously far more valuable in a game like this. Honestly Havnt had chance to really look into this one. Since it a later start planned on capping it when i got home.

[Conqueror]

also leaning Rutgers +12. What do you think?

The disparity in quality between these teams doesn't justify a 12-point spread. I'm not expecting an upset but I think Rutgers will stay within 12 points of Wiscy.

Niagara/pit under 148.. guess this my day to be against line moves. Purple eagles don’t do anything well offensively, if pit plays any sort of defense they can easy make them struggle to crack 60, if that the case then we asking pit to put up a huge number here and what incentive will they have to do that if they up double digits late? I suppose they could fall into playing up and down w niagara since it prob doesn’t matter but I would think Capel be more worried about getting his team to play a sustainable way of winning moving forward, if that the case this has pit high 70s purple eagles low 60s written all over it.

not a good start in this mich st-iowa game

We were right on pace for 160 at the 10 min mark. Got ugly for a second but for most part they right bout where we need them to be, and fact Iowa is right in it good also.

One of my keys, Hawkeyes get to line a ton!!

[2daBank]

sounds good buddy!!

We pretty much right there. Hopefully second half starts quick, only real concern I got is we so close to number if Iowa out of it in last 2 minutes might not make it. We see, hard to say right now. I’m good where we at but just gonna depend what game looks like 1st 5 min or so after the break. I’ll be back later, gl w all your action.

[lividrat]

Bookie gonna have me bend over while I pay him after this one.

[frankieunits2685]

Holy fck. I switched off too. Live line was down to 139.5 at one point halfway thru 4th. I can’t believe we cash 💰

[frankieunits2685]
