Bankers ncaa hoops season long thread

[Superama]

Make no mistake, there's a contrarian hint to Monmouth, I think the line might be just a bit too high for the circumstance.

Good call They even lead late first and some parts of second.

Any opinion about Charlotte covering? They seem to play some hard defence and an experience team like Wake Forest might struggle to handicap them.

I have Wake winning by 8 and can see that the spread tickets seem split with more money definitely on Wake, at least from my end.

When I look at trades, the OVER was just slammed and still is but as it peaked I see a couple of trades I consider sharp on the UNDER, and the market agreed, with a little RLM to pull off of 136.5.

It looks like a pass for me there on the spread and the Total maybe moved to much, could almost take the Under as I see about 131 or 132 points in the forecast.

The best Contrarian look right now seems to be Wisc Mil over Drake. Books forced to move that line from pick to Drake -2.5, but unfortunately the stacking forecast shows Drake winning by 20.

Tough to counter that, even in the face of the percentages for a contrarian look.

Volume counts too and I see MD/Purdue and Iowa/ Iowa St with the big volume tonight. The action and money is pretty darn split on both of those games.

It seems the books will be getting what they want no matter what happens tonight.

Just getting coffee in me, was still pretty faded out this morning, last night. Capped and played 1 game already but gonna have to go back and look to give a writeup as I don’t remeber wtf I saw. Just see that I made the play..

So play 1 for Thursday:

Iowa st/Iowa over 152.5.. I see it starting to move up so get quick as you can. My notes said I’d play it up to 154..

#winning! I got in at 154 this morning and at tip it was down to 152. I was nervous but easy win. Keep up the great work Banker.

small card tonight

[Makeitrain100]

Any leans today Bank?

[frankieunits2685]

A lot of people on L-Tech

[2daBank]

Any leans today Bank?

Of course pal, just getting to look at card now. I’m sure we can come up w w couple winners!!

[2daBank]

Oral Roberts/mizzou un 137.5.., make no mistake the golden eagles are terrible, their defensive efficiency numbers are atrocious. Here the thing tho, when mizzou faces really bad teams like this where they can name the score they tend to name a low number!! Tigers just not built to play high scoring games and the way they have to play to have a chance vs better teams is by limiting possessions and playing defense. Coach Marin keeps his team playing this way even when they face poor teams. Tigers have faced 3 teams outside the top 200 and here the scores, 68-55, 55-52, and 65-45. As you can see the last thing tigers want is a higher scoring affair so even against inferior opponents their MO has been to grind out W’s.. there nothing to suggest we won’t see more of the same here. Oral Roberts will have a tough time getting to 60 and you can be assured mizzou won’t put up enough to eclipse this total!!

[Housemoney]

Still a go at 136 Banker?

[2daBank]

Still a go at 136 Banker?

Yes sir.. I typically don’t play unless I have 4 points or more of perceived value off my number. Believe I made this 132ish.

[Housemoney]

Thanks, hope we hit!

New Mexico/st marys over 157.. this one been dropping so might get a better number by waiting but I made this mid 160s so the value is here so imo worth a play now... little tricky as we have 2 conflicting styles as gaels play pretty slow which clearly not good for our cause,. However the lobos playing at a lightening fast pace getting a shot up every 14 seconds or so!! Lobos defense is so damn bad I think they will entice st Mary’s into playing quicker as they will be hard pressed to pass up the good looks they gonna see!! Lobos even got a typically slow playing nmst team into shootouts which not their style at all! Despite wanting to play slow you just can’t pass up those good looks they give you early in the possession!! Lobos idea of defense is fouling line crazy as well so when you not getting easy looks you getting points off them w the clock stopped.. this has big potential to hit 170 imo.

[2daBank]

Thanks, hope we hit!

Should be ugly. If linemakers are close w that 16/17 point spread we should come in under the total rather easily! Unfortunately those fukkers wrong a lot!! Lol

[kj8210]

Saw the same shit on this one, bro....line movement had me wondering but agree on speeding up St Mary's with bad defense

[THam12]

Surprising not to see you immediately jumping on Nevada again!

[2daBank]

you look at the umass over banker?

Not quite yet brother. Every time i start getting into the card my old lady giving me a chore!! Lol. This stupid nativity thing we got that stays plugged in and blown up w air keeps deflating now I can’t get motor to keep running!! Driving me nuts!! Lol. Think I have her convinced to box it up and send it back! Which great cept now she pushing to go to Home Depot and get something else!! Lol., I swear these woman are never happy until they are, then they figure out something else to fukk with us!!! I just cut a plea bargain, so I have till 5:30 to cap then I gotta go an take her to dinner too!! Lol.,,

[2daBank]

Torn on that one pal., as I mentioned my time being pulled in all directions so that one gonna have to wait till later!!! I like asu this year too, they ain’t no Nevada but think they underrated (although this line showing them respect!). I mean they underrated in general, not w this line. I’ll talk more bout this one after i do the stuff I mentioned to make the woman happy! Lol

[2daBank]

You know how I feel bout line moves. Only thing they mean to me is adding or subtracting value off my number.. just cause those fukks have more money don’t mean they cap any better than me!!
