Got any money ridin' on _____ ?

[TarHeelNation11]

For first 3 games, I've got:

UNCW - UVA UNDER 132
ND -6.5
Winthrop - Butler UNDER 145 (sorry Hark)

Gonna bet the games as they come up, like you're doing @Hark_The_Sound_2010

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

The odds I'm seeing on Arizona futures seem really low. I took them to make the:

Sweet 16 at -200 ($100 to win $50)
Elite 8 at +150 ($30 to win $45)
Final 4 at +325 ($20 to win $65)

This way if they make the S16, I'm playing with house money the rest of the way. I think they're the class of that region.

I don't see those on Bovada but I think it's cuz I waited too long and they already took them down.

Ohhh lawd, there's "first team to score" and "first team to 10 points" props for all these games today. Oh help me baby jesus.

[bleeduncblue]

Is Roy coaching UNCW? Coach waited about 4 game minutes too long calling that timeout ... UVA momentum had completely shifted by that point

 

[TarHeelNation11]

Just locked in a South Dakota State +17.5 in-game ML against Gonzaga. That's a lot of points (but I'm sure I'll lose)

 

[TarHeelNation11]

1 unit each on:
Bucknell ATS
Bucknell/WVU UNDER 149

If I keep betting unders, eventually I'll win one, right? Guys? Bueller?

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

I'm on ETSU +10 and MTSU -1.5. I'll roll with for a unit each on Bucknell +13.5 and Under 149 in that game and a parlay of the two.

I'll ride back withcha on ETSU +10 and MTSU -1.5 -- wasn't sure how to bet the ETSU game but since you went with that option, I'll be like Leo DiCaprio in The Departed:

"I base my life on the assumption that you're pretty fukkin good at what you do."

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

Winthrop - Butler UNDER 145 (sorry Hark)

Looks like you're going to be right on this one. Not a good shot in the dark from me.

Helps that Winthrop is just refusing to score points.

Yeah but I'm gonna be wrong wrong wrong on Bucknell ATS it appears lol.

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

Nice, maybe that will "early call" WVU just like everyone on the other thread early called UNCW 8 minutes into the game.

 

[bleeduncblue]

Pick the other team lol

 

[TarHeelNation11]

Rough go of it so far in Day 1 @Hark_The_Sound_2010 . We'll regroup tonight though.

Agreed. I'm on Maryland -2. I like FGCU +12.5, VT +5.5, and VCU +4.5 but haven't pulled the trigger on those yet. What are you liking?

 

[bleeduncblue]

ETSU getting out hustled .... oh, and they shoot like Jackie Manuel.

Trying to friggin get home before the next games start.

Okay. I had more time before the next wave of games than I realized. Let's recap. Through 6 completed games: 4 underdogs cover and only 2 favorites cover. You can pretty much call it 5 and 2 at this point because of the MTSU game. The Vandy game is up in the air.

So with that, I say today is the day of underdogs covering (but losing). All that said, I like the following:

Maryland -2
VCU +4.5
VT +5.5
VCU/SMC UNDER 129

Don't really love anything else but I know I'm gonna bet it those 4, and parlay. Thoughts?

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

Just took Vermont +8.5, VCU +4, and a shot in the dark over 131.5 in the Villanova game.

I like VT as well and will probably hop on that before it starts.

I have Vermont in my OOTB bracket. Guess I need to put my money where my money is/was/will be.

In

 

[bleeduncblue]

Not a great day overall ...finishing it out with OVER 146.5 in the Arizona game. Fingers crossed!

 

[TarHeelNation11]

@toophly1124 today was a day that will live in infamy.... because all my bets sucked.

I know you're off today. Show me where to stand and I shall move the earth.

Haha. I just finished a game or two above .500 yesterday myself. Running some errands this morning but I'll get back w some of my picks before 12.

It may be one of those "first team to score" "first team to 10 points" type of days.

I've flipped quarters for money before so a crap shoot like that might not be a bad idea. Gimmie your feels on some of those.

Holy shizz... betting "Team to score first" in basketball is quite the adrenaline rush.

Big free throw for you

So far ..

Michigan -2
UNDER 134.5 Baylor (sorry @Hark_The_Sound_2010)

 

[TarHeelNation11]

UNDER 134.5 Baylor

Over 134.5 NMSU/Baylor

Well f***....

 

[bleeduncblue]

Well f***....

I just went with trends ... that's my game. Means NOTHING

 

[bleeduncblue]

I am so torn ... do we bet Ark or the Hall ?? I'm not even sure who I want our boys to play. It *feels* like Ark is the better team ... KenPom has them pretty close overall.

Seton Hall is a worse matchup for us (just gut feeling)

 

[TarHeelNation11]

Mich -2.5
Seton Hall PK

Riding, but Mich is -3.5 for me.

Also on OVER Baylor/NMSU 135

 

[bleeduncblue]

We need UM to figure out this OK St defense ... now.
