    Actually, it isn't because of I want to just watch the game.

    I put in $500 deposit into DraftKings to get $500 free bet.

    I live in PA, but you can bet online only in New Jersey. I'm at Hard Rock casino hotel at the moment and I have to go home tomorrow.

    Since I don't know when I would be able to come back to New Jersey to make the bet, I want to just bet the whole thing and get it over with.

    I have to bet $500 to get the $500 free bet.

    Actually, I started betting on football with only $500 in the first week of October and I never had a losing week and cleared over $10,000. It could have been easily over $20,000 if I didn't hedge any of my bets.

    I was done with sports betting as I helped my parents and gave them $6,000 for their losses in casinos, so I didn't even bet any NFL games this past weekend as I bet mostly ML parlays and teasers. I would have lost had I bet since I was going to take Dallas on the spread.

    I'm done with the sports betting until the next season with football except for maybe Super Bowl.

    Actually, the first bet I make is of my own cash deposit of $500, so it's not a free bet. So, if I lose, then I lose $500, but I will get another shot with the $500 free. My dad likes the Saints -3.5 in the conference championship, so I probably bet that with the free $500 bet.

    I made over $500 in casinos for this past weekend's trip and I'm still at Hard Rock hotel because my kids got sick and could not go to school so I told my wife to come so we could eat the buffet for $10 each for being the highest level player here before we go home tomorrow.

    So, even if I lost the $500 bet I'm ahead.

    Do you think the game could under tonight as well?

    Something is up with the game as DraftKings took the spread off-line.

    I'm guessing Zion is not playing and they are adjusting the line?

    If that's the case, then I should have taken Syracuse +17.

    Nope, I was so wrong. It was just a blip that the line was off because they were adjusting the line and it went up to Syracuse +17.5.

    I'm new to DraftKings and all other books I used never did that, i.e. totally remove the line for me to pick so you cannot even pick it when they are adjusting their line. That's pretty bad.

    They should do it like BookMaker or Bovada where you can still pick it but it will adjust before you make the final bet.

    It's higher juiced on the over and honestly the higher juiced odds tend to cover more often than not as the lower juiced odds is where the public or more money is on.

    Thanks for your opinion. I really appreciate that.

    Not great at picks, and do NOT spend $500 a pick, more around $120-$200 MAX, but its a poor play. Duke is coming off a close game, and Syracuse plays zone, Duke wil shoot 3's all day long and they will just smash Cuse. This isn't the same Cuse team from years past. BOL with what you choose to do

    So, are you saying Zone cannot or does not defend the 3's?

    With the 3's, a team could have an off day unless Duke is so consistent in shooting 3's and quite good at it. I thought they were more of the inside game team, but who knows since the only game I watched of them is against Zaga and they lost.

    The comparison of Zaga and Cuse though is MILES away.. Georgia Tech who was 10-6 or so I believe walked into Cuse and dominated them inside and beat Cuse in Syracuse by 10+

    Id never want to talk anyone out of a bet, but Id honestly stay away from Cuse.... Duke wins by 25+ IMO


    If you really feel like gambling with a $1000, I would take Brooklyn ML, paying +120ish with Irving and smart out for Boston... Nets play well at home

    BOL of what you do, I hope you hit

    I see that Irving is out, but where did you see Smart is out?

    The other problem is that when someone is out, at least for the first game the other players pick up the slack and the team plays much better and covers unless Irving and Smart are so important to the team that their scoring will slack off BIG.

    why would anyone fade a team that has the real life rendition of the Monsters in the lineup... Zion hurt his eye on Saturday and in comes RJ Barret and drops 32.. not saying Duke is a lock, because there is no such thing, but sheesh.. theres better plays to fade a favorite tonight

    Rotoworld. He was ruled out early. I would agree normally, but Smart and Irving really ruins their rotation , and the Nets play well at home

    I know you're getting alot of points in this game and it's still tight now but I could never pull the trigger and bet against the #1 seed in college ball.. It's too much of a gamble.. I took a PASS on this game!!!

    GL though gents.. Cuse hanging so far.. http://www.espn.com/mens-college-bas...meId=401082680

    Cuse looking good and I'm rooting for you guys.. Still if I had to bet this game I would have taken Duke and maybe I would have lost.. I passed.. Too many points.. Cuse backers I hope you get it!!!! I'm in your corner..

    If you were gonna bet Cuse maybe take a small stab at that absurd ML odds.. Little late now..

    Really, I got a bunch of desperate house wives that want to bang me lately and it's pissing me off. I'm over that and won't go there.. Feel like Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half men lately. Looking for a wife for life and not a quick bang anymore. Sowed my oats.

    Everyone I meet that is hot is married and not happy lately, or divorced with a million children. Sucks. I feel like I'm cursed now in that department. That was never the case.. Don't get old Shute it sucks..

    Wow, Hughes really hit his head hard on that play. How was that not a foul? He's one of Cuse's scorers. This might be a huge turning point in the game if he's not well.
