Just a little light action tonight.
I parlayed Nova under, Troy-UL Monroe under and WVU +5. That worked out to +600
Also on Cuse +3

Got any money ridin' on _____ ?

3 point line
Cuse down 2 with 0.9 secs left. Dead ball. Syracuse player commits foul on Lucille best FT shooter on inbound before any time can run off. He makes both and Cards win by 4.
This same Cuse player who committed foul had 2 terrible turnovers with less than a minute left in both reg and OT. Almost like he wanted to lose.
Nevermind. Didnt realize Troy and Monroe would score 17 in OT to go over by 4.
Wow, you're like those Liberals that we both hate, taking SO MUCH way out of context. And you know it. Me being able to bet with my own money never has and never will have anything to do with what others could or could not bet. Tooph (and you, and others) made it clear that Bovada was still an option ... and by the way, dumb ass, he was making bets via email with me thru most of these posts that you've referenced. We just werent talking about that on the board.
As I said, any of us talking about winning bets has always been fine since we've been posting our bets ahead of time. If that's 'talking shit' about how good I am, then we're all guilty. Never pegged you for such a crybaby. I'm truly sorry your feelings were hurt.
Yup, he had a run of bad luck and had sent me some discouraging emails ... I was simply messing with him to fire him up and keep him from getting discouraged. Ask him. He was up or down around $35, I cant recall ... if you think I care THAT MUCH about $35 to truly pick on someone, you're an idiot.
Wait, wait .. now you suddenly "dont care" how I bet ?? That's how all of this started. Some of us were talking about whether we should hedge and bet on dook and you pissed your pants.
So that's fine if you "dont care" - but if you whine like my 9 year old daughter when folks throw it back in your face, enjoy it ... because this is a GAMBLING thread.
And it's a CAROLINA board. If you want to carry on about betting against Carolina and making money doing so regardless the thread, I can't help that doing so makes you a douchebag.
The difference between me and you is that I know I am an asshole on here from time to time. You however have a level of self awareness slightly lower than Chick and don't realize that you can be a self righteous, sanctimonious and arrogant prick.
And none of those quotes are out of context. So while you may revel in being able to pass your bullshit off on people IRL, that dog don't hunt round here.
And as far as betting against Carolina vs Duke, I think Mark speaks well enough for me:
Mark 8:36 (NKJV), "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?"

From Tim:
Pro Vercelli at Ascoli
Italy series B
12:30pm Tuesday
draw +229
Ascoli is #13 in the table at 6-6-12. They have 4 draws in their last 5 matches. Pro Vercelli is #20 at 5-9-10. I worry about Ascoli winning 1-0 but hope for a 1-1 score.

I'm not gonna go back and forth with you on this. I have always liked you as a poster, we pretty much agree on everything (the two of us were the only ones calling a Trump win last summer, that was awesome). I just didnt see why you felt the need to make fun of other folks bet choices (specifically, betting on dook) .... I thought that the main 'unspoken' rule was that none of us would call out anyone else for choosing which teams to bet on, even if we think it's a stupid bet. That's why I spoke up.
And no, I dont care one single iota about what a couple dozen folks whom I will never meet think about me (regarding the arrogant prick comment). Only we know our hearts and what really matters and moves us. I've never taken time to stop and try to figure anyone else on here out, it's a simple internet message board. It's fun banter and I have never taken it that serious.
GO HEELS
St. Joe's just lost their PG on Sat. And this injury was actually to the backup PG because the starting PG went out after 12 games. VCU runs a high pressure D. I'm going the other way on that one. This game tips @ 6p

Varzim at Sporting CP 11
Portugal
11am Wednesday
Varzim +193
Varzim is #5 at 11-7-8 while the home team is #21 of the 22 teams. They are 7-16-6 (-11). Varzim has won their last four on the road by 2-1, 2-1, 2-1 and 2-0. The stadium that Sporting CP 11 uses only seats 3000. Varzim beat them 3-0 at home back in September. I do worry about a draw but see nice value at +193.

Crap. I thought the starter got hurt. Still a lot of points vs a team that has the better ATS record. We'll see how it goes.
And one other thing @bleeduncblue and I'm saying this only to clarify, not because I am trying to have the last word.
I understand that we can talk shit about anyone's bet before or during the bet. But we cannot start talking shit after a bet is decided (because everyone can pick a winner after the final score)
Regardless, I have no wish to continue our dispute. Let's get back to winning money.

Totally agree ... have I committed that crime?
So to be clear, if/when some of us bet on dook (or any other team) to win (or cover) vs UNC, you're not going to say a word, right? I regret not betting on dook last week. I chickened out and it cost me money that I was certain would be there.
No. I am going to give you shit before and during your bet if you bet against Carolina as a dog or ATS. I will drop it when game is over though.
My opinion is that we should all be cheering for Carolina to win everything. The only way to bet against UNC is to bet the other side when the Heels are laying points.
This is so funny to me, seriously. I have placed 140 bets on UNC basketball over the last 5 years. 91 of them were AGAINST UNC (mostly ATS of course). I have won 76 of the 140 bets. So you owe me A LOT of shit talking
If I thought for one moment that my bet actually affected the outcome of the games, I would never bet against UNC ... but ....

It has nothing to do with outcome and everything to do with my sentiments about people who are cheering for Carolina to lose.
See that's where we disconnect. As I said last week, I only bet an amount (as usual) that I can absolutely live without....I'm ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS pulling for UNC to win and cost me a few bucks. And if they happen to lose (or not cover) then at least I have some joy. I never bet in such a way that I'm hoping they will lose. I know you don't agree, just wanted to clarify the strategy.
Do I need to quote your story again?
Can we please just drop it? And then you just dont mention it when you bet against Carolina when they are getting points.
Deal?
No, I'll do it this time, save you the trouble.
"Yup. I'll never forget getting in over my head on a dook +2 vs UNC about 8 years ago ... I literally was pulling for dook to score in the last 30 seconds, even though if they hit a three it would mean they would likely win. I won the bet but felt like complete scum and vowed to never bet on the UNC/dook game again - which lasted until the next UNC/dook game."
And your point is??? That I wanted dook to score and cover the spread? Yep.
And by the way, if you reserve the right to "give me shit" for betting on dook vs UNC, then I reserve the right to remind you that I won money on said bet and offer to buy you a beer with it.
Oh and this just in, our bets dont affect the outcomes ... so why does it matter who we bet on? I'm a "lesser fan" due to that? Ha, okay. Ask me if I care.
UNC -10.5 at Moooooooo tomorrow night. I realize they have serious revenge in mind but wow, that seems about 6 points too low.
Also, dook 5 point underdogs at UVA. Gonna bet dook ML there, hope the line goes up overnight.

Tossed a small amount on the 2H over in the lakers kings game, effectively giving me over 197 when the original total was 219.
This one is so tough for me. Initially I think, double digit home dogs against a banged up UNC team that waxed them last time in a rivalry game looking for revenge - give me the points! But then I remember State is the only regular season game Roy coaches like he cares about winning, so then laying the points seems like the obvious play. I'll probably just end up betting the under, whatever that is.
I've got the total at 168.5 ... that's a load. I'm taking the under and Mooooo +11.5
I'm on:
NCSU +11.5*
UVA -5
Over 129.5 in Duke/UVA
GT +10.5
* I will absolutely be rooting for UNC to win the game, just want to make sure that's understood so I can be clear of any wrath

Wrath is only administered when you bet against Carolina and they are the dog.
LOL. Yes, make that abundantly clear. Let's win some CASH on the Pack!! Or the Heels can win by 51 again, that'd be fine too. GO HEELS
