UConn to win it all +4500

[Eddy Munny]

Still a better play than nuggets -6.5

Does that even matter anymore? I faded your Knicks and Huskies plays and made out like a bandit.

See I don't have to reach into the past to find your losing plays. You pump them out daily like an assembly line.

You've made losing your entire personality.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Bet accordingly …

Duly noted. Do you think there's value against the Odds?

When I was following Coll Hoops closely, I could usually narrow it down to 2 or 3 teams w/ a reasonable chance of winning it all. Did hit nice futures back in the day on MARYLAND and DUKE (w/ Scheyer as a player).

[johnnyvegas13]

Not claiming I moved the line but I got +380

abd it’s +370 now …

[johnnyvegas13]

Not a lot of value chuck but I think this is almost a lock

Nash was right about this team

i cashed out half of my UConn futures and put it on duke

How does one cashout an air bet? Do you go to the store and have them fill your tires if they are a little low?

Thx for the note, John. One comment on the Young teams: *The KY/Oak game was so telling last yr.
...I question the roster a little bit. Guys like Flagg will be off campus by April.

[2Sweeet]

Can we get a mod to saloon this shit. How long are we going to let this guy fire worthless thread after worthless thread with zero knowledge at all about sports?

This... If you wonder why no1 comes here for info anymore look no further than this moron everyday making threads with his bs picks. The Mods should really do something. Guy has over 27k post and it's nothing but bs. Maybe if it's just him and Chuck talking to themselves he will quit. He does this for just what I'm doing. I won't reply anymore. SBR this guy makes Players Talk look like a joke FYI

[Eddy Munny]

Cashing out futures before the conference tourneys even start, much less the NCAA tourney...

I mean we know you're full of shit but at least give us something plausible. You have a facade to maintain.

[hawkwind]

didn't win the super bowl, didn't win the frozen 4, not gonna win the NBA championship, not winning the Stanley cup, not winning the world series, nor anything else. u r a PATHETIC LOSER

[johnnyvegas13]

I had a few different bets

no books let u cash out part of one bet

[unde0087]

Saloon thread, he cashed out his fake bet no more need for this thread. We can go on to the next fake bet thread Duke

Only half he said... He has to keep one foot in just in case.

It's like the NFL playoffs. He kept throwing chips on teams, had four covered to win the chip and still couldn't connect. Then took the Chiefs when it was narrowed down to two participants, so technically had five teams, and misfired yet again.

So what's the line on UConn now to win it all? What would a book give you back if you cash out so early? Like one penny per $1 bet. Usually you can cash out during the tourney if they go on a run. What is JV talking about?

It is a dead give away that this, like everything else, is an air bet nothing more.

I got almost half my money back on the cashout not penny on the dollar

[pavyracer]

But why would they give you back half if the odds are +4500? Are they scared so early that it might cash? If you were booking with me I wouldn't even give you anything right now 2 months before the tourney. Maybe post a ticket but I find it hard to believe a book will do this as it's almost a certain loss for the player.

agreed

[johnnyvegas13]

I still have some @ +8000

not like I won’t b rooting for it

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Obviously, things can change but Duke is on an absolute roll; I bet them their last two games and I'm going to continue until they fail to cover. FWIW, they're 12-5 ATS when laying less than 20.

Horse, how good do you think Flagg is? His stats have not YET blown me away. But I'm sure that I'm in the minority.

[pavyracer]

But if you want I can grade the 3 bets you have in this thread as -$50 for each and add to your record $-150 0-3. It's your call or let them ride and either get -$300 and 0-3 later or grade as win the ones that hit. It's your call. If you want to go with half got back I will grade that today.

[unde0087]

His stats don't wow you because he plays within the team. He isn't one of those guys out there firing up 25 shots a game. He is the reason Duke has a great chance to win it all. I certainly think Duke is better than most. His passing is the impressive part because if teams try to double him when he starts to go off then he always finds the wide open guy. I would say out of all the so called top prospects he is the most selfless player. The way he plays defense it is hard to believe he is a freshman. IMO he is as legit as you can get. Guy just makes winning plays whether on offense or defense.

[DrunkHorseplayer]

What unde0087 said and even without him, Duke is Top 25 caliber.

Ya, totally agree, Scheyer has done a great coaching job with this squad. He has got them to buy into defense. Something you haven't really seen from Duke in awhile. They are quietly one of the best defensive teams in the country and that is why they are, not just winning, but blowing the lid off of almost everyone they play. This team can shoot the lights out and the way Flagg plays within the team, not trying to just get his, has them playing at an elite level right now and trending up. They have many weapons and Flagg sets everyone else up. It is fun to watch this group play as they give a team effort every night out.

Johnny, all your college basketball plays, predictions and bullshit go in this thread. I don’t want a full page of “on it” fake bets. Thank you.

[Easy-Rider 66]

^you have been downsized JV. Your act is getting a bit old I guess?

OK, thank you for the rundown! I admit to not watching games like I used to.

If he's selfless, then I'll pull for him. I go back to the scrimmage versus the US Olympians. I know that Lebron & company were truly impressed by his talent.

I like to look at the Sites to see if a team will gain a pseudo-Home Court advantage. This has been a key driver in historical NCAA wins:

*Duke: I'm sure they'll play in Raleigh. This is a huge advantage, as they're just a short drive to Raleigh.

*UConn: Closest site would be Providence RI. See if the committee puts UConn in Providence. They don't merit regional preference based on their ranking. If they put UConn in Providence, they want the Huskies to advance to the Sweet 16.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Mike Francesa has mentioned the prospect of St John's earning a 2-seed. If placed in the East, Duke would be the likely 1-seed. Eastern region is in Newark NJ, which would favor St John's.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Also watch for Eastern teams shipping West. Very few ranked teams in Mountain/Pacific time zones this year. It won't look like a regional bracket.

Harder to win after that much travel. Good news is that the Pod system keeps em closer to home for the first two games.

They're a 7/10 team or an 8/9

you have been Salooned JV. Is the writing on the wall?

JV can be a more effective contributor in one thread that captures all the dialogue over multiple Hail Mary threads.
