Just put 150 on Uconn to win Big Easy

**ngates815** · 03-12-11, 05:13 PM

I got it at 5dimes at 1020 in the morning on Tuesday(half 40 minutes before tip) It was the first time I looked at the odds, and it was at +3100.

Joe Lunardi in his bracketology currently has them as a 3 seed. Pitt/Notre Dame/Ohio St/Kansas as 1's Duke/UNC/Texas/BYU as 2's.

I don't see how Pitt or Notre Dame should be #1's especially since they didn't make it to the Conference Championship games. I'd imagine if BYU loses tonight, they'll drop out of the 2 seed(shouldn't be there anyways) And if Duke wins the ACC they'll most likely jump up to a 1. But both Pitt and Notre Dame are very questionable 1 seeds to me as of now, and depending on how the rest of the games go, they should drop out.

I want some of what Lunardi is smoking if he thinks ND is a 1 seed. 1 seeds will be OSU, Big 12 Champ, ACC Champ and Pitt or Mountain West Champ.

nvm, that was some other book I saw it a bit higher, mind you I would not want to play there.
It was probably sportsinteraction.

I don't think the Big 12 championship game makes a difference. Texas shouldn't be a #1 with what they did down the stretch. I agree about ND, if you can stop them from making 15 3's a game, then they are done for.

It could of been 5dimes...a hour before games started I looked to see what lines looked good for the first time, probably wouldn't of even checked if my brother hadn't called me to say he was gonna take some of my money and put it on Syracuse and Nova...He only put 65 on Nova knowing they were a LONGSHOT(@3800)....But if their Center didn't get injured in the 1st half, they could of pulled off a couple upsets possibly.

**k13** · 03-12-11, 05:29 PM

Have Uconn +5000 to win the big one. Hopefully they get a decent bracket and didn't blow their load too early.

Lots of juicy odds outside the top 5...

Thanks big guy...Leaving in 10 minutes for concert, almost told my gf to take a friend so i could watch the game. But less stressful not watching it I guess.

I cashed on them every game also, besides last game because I had Uconn/Illinois ML parlay.

Was gonna put some more on them. But I really don't want to.

Only $800 out of $4,800?

I'd square this bitch up at $2,400. Either a guaranteed winner with Louisville, or you make $2,400 off of $140.

UConn is going to lose tonight no doubt about it. 5 games in 5 nights is world different than 3 in 3 nights. lou in reality should be favored by 6.5

Well if they do, he's at least getting $800 from a $140 investment. I'd rather take $2,400 from a $140 investment, though, and not even worry about it.

i totally agree i would split this right up the middle for an even hedge.........since these teams are almost even in talent its like uconn playing uconn with one team logging an extra 80 minutes the past few days. i dont see how anyone can take Uconn ml tonight and feel good about it. pitino is going to run them all over the court, could be ugly i think

**paco** · 03-12-11, 09:51 PM

Let's go Gates, don't listen to those ***** who say they will lose today. If Kemba didn't pick up his 2nd foul, huskies would be up 14+ right now.

**Powderguy** · 03-12-11, 09:56 PM

Should be a good 2nd half

**k13** · 03-12-11, 10:05 PM

Could be a close finish. Lot of steam on Lou 2nd half.

**Tk Fo Sho** · 03-12-11, 10:09 PM

Remarkable run. Kemba is a man beast

**szk1983** · 03-12-11, 10:09 PM

good luck. uconn has looked great so far.

Excellent call man. Enjoy your winnings!

**cbiscuit** · 03-12-11, 11:50 PM

Nice score ngates. If I saw this early on I would have said you were crazy even with those fat odds. What UCOnn just did is truly amazing. You always hear announcers saying this far too often but in this case it is absolutely true... one of the greatest achievements in USA sports history. They just won 5 games in 5 days, 4 of those against Top 20 calibre types HOLY SHHHHHHHHHHiiiiiiiiiiii
One thing I don't like, I decided a few weeks ago that I liked their chances in the BigDance as a 4 or 5 seed but now everyone and their mother, literally, will be picking them to win it all. How much tougher can the Tourney be for these guys compared to what they just went through?

**donkdown** · 03-12-11, 11:52 PM

great call gatesie!! congrats on the nice score!!
