Passed on 7 PM college to do the same pick one way/bet the other on 8 PM NBA.

The whole board is junk in terms of odds tonight.

You got Dallas -220 or whatever, Northern Colorado -156, and then nothing after that. A lot of nothing.

Mexi, if you see this, do you have the updated list of winners?

I'll see if I can add it to the first post of this thread.

northern colorado was best play on the board...undefeated at home

**yisman** · 03-10-11, 12:06 PM

Go UConn.

**MexicanStallion** · 03-10-11, 03:14 PM

I don't know what Bigslick had for January. Would have to ask him to look back at that streak to update the records.

**MexicanStallion** · 03-10-11, 03:18 PM

Losturmarbles owes me 2 points and then everybody has fully paid.

**ronjon619** · 03-10-11, 03:38 PM

Pitt is terrible. Those guys will be lucky to get to the sweet 16.

march has got to be the worst month to have a big streak with all these ncaab favs falling

i miss the summer/winter olympics, was always fun to pick some obscure sport that was -750+

Got it. He won with W7 in January.

W14 goes crashing down

alright. I'll make different sections. One for home teams, one for away. I will be playing the spreads of +4.5 or more or if it is a game without spreads...if the moneyline for the favorite is -200 or more

do you guys think I should do games with a spread of 4 or 4.5 and up

**yisman** · 03-11-11, 02:17 AM

I do -200 and up. Unfortunately, that did not include Phoenix tonight, which went down in flames. I actually bet on Phoenix.

The favorites keep going down in flames.

At 9:30, there was a 3.5 spread and 4 spread posted with margin vs. 3s. Obviously 3s favored, and lost..

**samgurt** · 03-11-11, 02:24 AM

I'm liking UNC winning margin > FTs by Miami tomorrow

I have a really low streak tho so I'm not really risking anything but UNC should stomp them

**BrigadierPudding** · 03-13-11, 10:25 AM

Really weak board today. Duke at -170, though I'm betting UNC +4. The Howard/Carter prop smells like a trap with 99% on Howard.

**yisman** · 03-13-11, 02:30 PM

free tip:

take Dwight Howard

i like it as well...too bad my streak is -3 right now! I usually stop trying after about the 1st 10 days if I don't have a decent size of a streak going

**yisman** · 03-13-11, 02:37 PM

ESPN screwed up the lock of the Big 10 title game.

8-6 with 15:55 left now

Game started at 3:30 and they had the lock as 3:40

It should be a push, but they usually don't fix it.

I'm not picking it because there's something good to pick.

**yisman** · 03-13-11, 02:38 PM

ummm, Orlando/Phoenix started at 3:30 as well

Most Def! Carter is off his game and suck'in. I believe he's battling a few injuries too.

**yisman** · 03-13-11, 02:43 PM

Bodog had o/u Howard at 24.5
o/u Carter at 14.5

22.4-13.8 Howard according to Accuscore projections.

What I'm afraid of is that Howard wins, and ESPN picks this time to make it a push for everyone. You never know what they'll do from situation to situation. No consistency in their rulings.

naw..started at 340...nba games always start at 10 after and 40 after

**revnecro1273** · 03-13-11, 02:45 PM

will be epic is carter somehow wins this prop

Dude, I'm saying I know for a fact it started at 3:30.

Games usually start 5 or 10 after, but there are exceptions, like sometimes with primetime/showcase games.

I've been watching. At 3:40, there was between 5 and 6 minutes left in the first quarter and Howard was up 5-0.

I'm not saying the games started before 3:40 because of the scheduled start time. I'm more than familiar with how many games get delayed. I'm saying it because I saw both games on TV and both were well into the game before 3:40.

**SamsNCharge99** · 03-13-11, 04:21 PM

streak of 5 after Howard wins and going w/ Kevin Love

**yisman** · 03-13-11, 07:57 PM

I'm considering Love.

**yisman** · 03-13-11, 08:11 PM

I wavered back and forth and finally took Love.

Love has the advantage.

What I'm worried about is if it turns into a blowout.

Smart is more inclined to play Ellis more minutes in such a case than Rambis would be to play Love.

The good news is that GS is coming off that great win in OT over Orlando on Friday night. Maybe he won't push Ellis?

**samgurt** · 03-13-11, 08:17 PM

gotta remember that love has a bad knee too so he won't play the whole game if he gets a double double early

too late to lay off now tho

**yisman** · 03-13-11, 08:28 PM

yeah you need to post that earlier.

**lordswing** · 03-13-11, 09:27 PM

they should've had selection sunday picks

like "will Virginia Tech be the best team not to get in"
"will the #1 overall seed get shafted again like last year"
"will Florida get a #2 seed"

etc

also, the entire SftC ESPN pool should hate cuse0323 right now

**yisman** · 03-13-11, 09:40 PM

You'd have to define best team.

I think they absolutely should have had props like "how many teams will conference X get?" or "will team X get in?" But selection Sunday was on CBS so maybe they didn't want to give it any more attention.

Bit weird that they had the large gap. There were 6 PM NBA games, NHL games going on...

Still alive on this prop because Ellis just picked up his 4th. Otherwise, Ellis rarely sits.

**yisman** · 03-13-11, 10:28 PM

Kurt Rambis ends Love's streak of double doubles and kills my streak of 5.

**Optional** · 03-15-11, 12:45 AM

Geesus Ahche Kriste.... I hate the NBA.

I haven't had a 5W run in 2.5 months now. For some stupid reason I figured 96% of people on Golden State meant they were safe to take for number 5 even though I know zero about basketball.
