    All my points for one year if you help me win my bet
    I'm looking to make a very large wager tomorrow. Maybe around 5500 or so. I'm having trouble narrowing it down so here's my proposal to you, sbr. Give me your best pick for tomorrow, whether it be a single game or a ml parlay that pays out around even and give me a good write up and reason for why to pick it and I'll pick one before the game starts and if it wins, you get all of my points for one year, whether it be from daily points poker or trivia. I think I owe someone like 100 points so those would need to be paid first but after that they are all yours. Thought this might be a fun way to get some advice. Let's hear them.

          Washington +4.5... There is no way UCLA is better than Washington. UCLA is reeling, they still have to play at the rundown old USC gym that nobody shows up to. UCLA is playing for?? While Washington is playing for the Pacific - 12 title, and the best chance of getting into the tournament.

          They lose tomorrow, they aren't guaranteed entrance into the dance.

          Washington has a top guard in Wroton, and their big man Aziz can hold his own downlow vs. the weakest bigmen in the game in the Wear Twins. Josh Smith is too fat, and fouls too much to be much of a concern.

          UW is a good play on the ML... getting this kinda points is ridiculous.

          Colorado @ OSU is also another good play, IMO.

          Good luck!

            UNC -1 at Duke. You know the 2 minute fluke after a dominant game argument from last game so I'll save it. Barnes was hurt and played like it last game, but is seemingly healed now which should be a big plus, particularly on the defensive end. Duke seems to be worse at home this year than usual, with losses to FSU and Miami. UNC has a point guard. UNC has an enormous edge on the front court, and has been incredible on the boards. Bullock has seemed to mature as a perimeter defender since the first game, when he was still transitioning into the starting role. You could make an argument for UNC to have 4 players on the all ACC first team. Overall I think UNC is a far superior team and should easily cover.

                          Texas +11.5/12 (depending on book)

                          Texas is a lot better than their 19-11 record, and have kept most of their losses within 6 poimts. There are exceptions to the rule, but it's clear to me that they're going to show up tomorrow. J'Covan Brown and Sheldon McClellan will keep them in the game. They'll push the pace on Kansas and draw a lot of fouls. Texas has 6 guys who shoot free throws 74% or better, including Brown who shoots 85.6%.

                          I know Kansas has a lot of talent, but this is a bitter Rivalry that will be a hard played game on both sides. This would be a signature win for Texas to improve their resume, and while I'm not saying they win, they keep it close. I just talked myself into betting the limit on it at BetIslands.

                            Only thing that would worry me is Washington shitting the bed on the road here in a spot they should win like the Huskies tend to do. Plus, they're getting +4

                              Not sure I could ever back Texas. Kind of a rule I had to make last year.

                              And yeah Washington comes out with some clunkers on the road. It'd suck to be down 20 at the half and be buried already.

                                At Kansas, on Tayshawn Taylor's senior night? I'm not saying Texas won't keep it close, but there's gotta be a better spot than this tomorrow.

                                            over 125 on the UNLV/Wyoming game. AS good of defense as Wyoming plays it won't matter when UNLV is at home. For as bad as UNLV looks on the road is as good as they look at home this year. They truly are the "Running Rebels" When at home. UNLV puts up about 80 a game and with the blistering pace they should have it will make it so Wyoming will not be able to sit around once they get behind like they would like. I expect a 82-68 type of a game with an easy cover

                                                I'd expect both those teams to win but if it's -6 and -9 or so 5500 would only pay out 3000 or so probably

                                                  Take Federer @ 1.8 on today's tennis match vs Murray. I've been watching almost every game in this tournament and i just can't image Federer losing this match. Yeah, Murray won Djokovic yesterday, but I've never seen Djoko playing that bad, like he did yesterday. It looks like he didn't even want to play nor to win that match. He could beat Murray at any time if he wanted to. Murray looks good so far, but he's not good enough. He has a good defense and he's well motivated, but he's going to need far more than that, to beat Federer.
                                                  At the same time, Federer was amazing against Del Potro yesterday. He showed great confidence and he obviously wants to win this tournament. Del potro destroyed Tsonga few days ago and yesterday he was playing great, but he couldn't get a single break on Federer's serve.
                                                  Federer haven't lost a single set in whole tournament, which is also quite amazing.
                                                  If Federer loses this match, i will seriously consider to quit gambling for ever. Too bad i don't have any money at the moment, I would probably go all-in on him. That's how confident i am.

                                                    Not up yet, but it should payout a decent amount

                                                      I haven't even seen tennis lines at Mandalay or Luxor. What books here take that tennis action? Or maybe i missed them.

                                                        Maybe if I throw vcu in to beat northeastern that would make it pay out even.

                                                          I think every decent book should have it. By the way, the tournament is called Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships

                                                                      Duquense has lost 4 of 6 an playing their worst basketball of the year.
                                                                      St. Louis has won 7 of their last 8 and by an average of 9 points over some pretty decent teams and they are playing inspired basketball.
                                                                      They played a few weeks ago and st louis won by 27.
                                                                      This spread should be up around 10. I don't post a lot of plays and I actually was going bet soccer this morning but decided to save my bankroll for this game. I see this being around 8-9 at halftime with st louis winning by 14-17. I really think they have no problem here. This is a great matchup for them.
                                                                      Good luck on whatever you decide
