    NCAA upsets lead Vegas to its second-most profitable day ever

    http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaab-...130812939.html

    "Very profitable day, historic profitable day from a basketball perspective," Jay Rood, VP of Race/Sports for MGM International, told Yahoo Sports' Brad Evans. "It was the second biggest day aside from a Super Bowl win in the state of Nevada." (Rood didn't disclose which Super Bowl had a more profitable day, but our guess is the Giants' upset of the Patriots' perfect season in 2008.)

    I'm an online in-play ML player. I got buried yesterday due to some very rare collapses from team in the lead.

    round 1 can sometimes be split, thursday is one way and friday is the other way. it does seem to favor dogs mostly though. i don't want to speak too soon but it looks to be starting off that way today at least. i agree with round 2, and haven't really noticed too big of a trend in the sweet 16 one way or the other, but i'll take your word for it.

    Looks like the chalk might take it right back today; Louisville -8.5 is a good play.

    I love betting on sports but I love all these guys betting all this money on young un undependable kids.I cant even get mine to mow the lawn on time and I want to risk all this money on 18 -22 year old kids. Not that adults are much better I guess[Pete Carroll].

    This just shows ya when bookmakers talk about all the money there is on Sharp plays it is just bullshit. This was a very public day (a record day)and all these crooked bookmakers talk about is being scared of sharp plays. So sic of hearing about these so called sharp players. Sure there are a few but sharps matching public money an having more is a bigger joke than when these crooked Books say their goal is to get equal action on both sides. There are a couple stand up overseas book makers who will actually tell ya where the cash is every once in a while but most of these other fuks are nothing but scumbags. You want to read a real jackoff go to the Greeks twitter page. He won't dare give anyone info on public plays but he will give a list of sharp plays that are just bullshit plays he pulls out of his ass and the dopes who believe him are just that dopes. You ask him to post public plays and he says nobody want them just the sharps. Then fifty guys say they want them and he bans ya lmfao.

    Sure they win JJ. They get guys like u to take a beating on Thursday and then u flip the way u bet just like they want ya to and they beat ya again. If u go to the 2014 script of this tournament it has basically gone completely opposite of this years script. Last year almost everything went to the public on Thursday and the opposite on Friday this year they fuk ya on Thursday and give some back on Friday.
