    bad day men...drinking way too soon

    now some are saying wait 100 times 6 minus juice isnt close to 10k. fukk that i go MLs and everyone knows it.

    this will be my in game thread so disregard thread

    not gonna lie, a loss will equal me disappearing. why? well because i wont have a reason to check if i have no gambling money
    So is Toronto included in this or not?

    heres how it will go

    1. im gonna release whatever i like the night before

    2. we will see if it involves RLM because obv i love that

    3. any injuries to cause line

    4. consult 4 people (simplified)

    5. watch line movement

    6. come to one final bet

    ill add final pick to spreadsheet after all this, but ofcourse itll be after game starts. ill submit pick here only like 2 min before tip

    since this is last chance it is why i am trying to be official. problem is when drinking i will not follow guidelines

    So your real bet is Timberwolves/EWU/Kings?

    You and I both know "late movement" means dick these days (as does RLM). Books have wised up to this strategy, RR. See Saturday in college hoops. You would've been buried all the way to China if you went with this strategy there.

    Also, books are spooked by KenPom and his "predictions." It's almost laughable now.

    The RLM is enticing but sharks playing great hockey and the kings have been cold lately. I'd wait for a better bet tomorrow if you're going all in, but good luck with whatever you decide

    but the thing is i like to look at a line and i say does that make sense.

    with pitt -3.5, -4, -4.5 it didnt

    i shouldve went duke but i didnt

    with la kings, its does this make sense...no it doesnt.

    that is why im really thinking kings are 1st play

    I agree with what you're saying in theory, but why in the hell would the books make Duke +4 or +4.5 and pay out the Yankees of college basketball as a +170 dog? To me, if Duke was the play, they would've been +2/+2.5. That would've been bait to get most people to take the Devils.

    It's kind of like Iowa/Michigan State on Tuesday. Spartans are +5.5. Books are begging you to take MSU. But like I said, KenPom's shit offsets what the books think; before him, they used to set their lines independently. Now they just copy his homework.

    If you're going to follow this strategy, just stick to pro games. They make more sense as far as reading lines go. College too unpredictable.

    To me, a good example of how fvcked up the books are right now with KenPom's influence was the Norfolk State/Savannah State line tonight. Norfolk is a dog on the road despite being five games better record-wise than SS. In the old days, you could hammer an "inferior" team like SS and cash it automatically. That's when books were making their own lines. Now they just tail KenPom and get buried, so you really have no idea what to think because oddsmakers don't either. Norfolk is +2, public's 75% on the dog ML, Norfolk wins easily. I saw it happen over and over and over again on Saturday. I can all but guarantee you KenPom had a line on this game that was almost identical to the +2 you saw in Vegas.

    Arch isn't a professional oddsmaker, though (and don't get me wrong, I have all the respect for him in the world). Duke will never be +8 vs. anyone. They're still Duke. Bottom line is if they show up the way they did tonight, they can beat anyone -- which is why they're never really worth betting against (or even on). Well that, and Lang had Pitt.

    either way, pitt (lose) ended up a no play. so did raptors (win?). along with twolves (win?)

    really hoping 1 of last 2 loses if not both

    Why? I'm confused now.

    Pitt's loss killed the parlay, and you said you were going to play them anyway but didn't.

    I'm not understanding why you aren't taking either EWU or the Kings. If you were going to go all-in with a parlay including them, why wouldn't you play them SU?

    do you guys think the amount of knowledge the average person has their hands on every day has made the books easier to beat.. it just seems like square city all the time now..

    duke was +3.5 at half also... im sure everyone just loaded up on them again at the half also.


    gotta start thinking square in college hoops right now.. maybe not as much nba but defintely in college

    i am up for this, cant wait to watch this movement on both games

    i watch pinny for hockey and dsi for basketball...i would prefer watching bookmaker but i now only have account at dsi

    Raptors are dead.

    They've made fourth quarter collapsing an artform, and tonight is a rare piece.

    Agree with this. College basketball is a fvcking square haven now, again, because of KenPom.

    Pinny opened at +138 on your Phoenix bet yesterday and closed at +117. Pinny offered the best money on the board by far on Vancouver. What happened?

    I'm telling you, "late money" and "RLM" don't exist anymore as a profitable venture.

    I just think the lines are much more "accurate" (or manipulated, depending on your belief) in the pro game. By in large, Vegas gives you a layup or two a night in the NBA and the NFL.
