My first thought when I saw -3 was St. Mary's immediately, but then I remembered how I don't #### about St. Mary's so I didn't really look at it any further.modogg said:
Breaking it down, I'm still going to say St. Mary's. The Gaels defense basically encourages teams to shoot 2-point jumpers, and Hawaii is one of the heaviest 2-pt jumper teams in basketball so it all comes down to if they're going to make them and if they can stop St. Mary's. It is unlikely they can stop St. Mary's unless they can cause a bunch of turnovers, which is certainly possible. So it's kind of a mess (which is why my official play is "no play") but if St. Mary's is the better team they should cover the -3. I think they're the better team, so I would lean Gaels.
And I might as well play them.

Thanks boss, BitTorrent already finished so I'm all set. Definitely bookmarked this site for future use, didn't know it was even out there. The more you can know the better.
Posted in the Apple Jailbreak thread my already failed project to JB my Apple TV, since I upgraded the OS about a month ago.
Wanted to start firing up IceFilms right from the box, and just never got around to JB'ing it. We'll get there once they put out a JB for iOS 7.Apple TV is still awesome for dual-screen mirroring, which is exactly what I do currently. Hit AirPlay from the Mac desktop bar, drag the movie over to the TV,
.Works for all media types.

One of my GB's bought a Mustang for cash from PartyPoker winnings back when we were in college in the mid-2000's. Can't wait to watch this once this game is over, basically the same thing less the trip to Costa Rica +.

Wow, these NFL refs just have no idea what to call or what not to call with unnecessary roughness calls. Douglas get suplexed after the play with everybody watching, and the refs just kind of stare and leave it at that.
True insanity when touching a QB gets you 15 yards, but you can literally suplex a guy after the play, and it is all good. I just can't tell who is to blame for this

Help me take off my homer glasses, but the Bills look crazy good this week.
They have one of the best pass Ds in the league. WHAT? Look at the stats.
Ypg 5th best
Ypa tied for 6th best
Pass completion % 1st
INTs 2nd
Sacks 1st
The last is most important, how do you beat Brady, with pressure from the front four. Their four best have 43 sacks combined.
The Bills weakness is rush D, where they are slightly below average.
On the other side, NE has the 3rd worst rushing D, giving up 131 ypg, against the Bills 2nd best with 142.5.
It all adds up to a close low scoring game with lots of running.
Lastly, the line has moved bigtime on the Bills on gameday the last two weeks. Against Jax it was pk on Sat and moved to Bills -4. Against Mia it was Bills +2.5 when I punched Sun morning and pk when I checkd later. Any good sites to verify this.
I think the Bills are under-rated by the public and the Pats getting credit for beating an ave Bal team that couldnt exploit the Pats weakness (Bills will)
I think the Bills can win this one.

I'm blind-betting every team that has "nothing to play for" that is playing a team with "something to play for."

This thing went right into the toilet as soon as Affleck appeared, which is about 12 minutes in. He has Timberlake escorted out of his party when the latter accuses Affleck's gambling site of cheating. The next day, JT is summoned to Affleck's yacht, where he is offered an 8-figure salary because JT is such a smart fella. This after a 4-minute conversation.
I'm struggling to finish this.

and note to self, I'm not going to bet against Hawaii when they are playing in Hawaii again. It seemed kind of tilted toward them last night against Boise St., but it was the same thing tonight with any player from Hawaii driving the lane getting love from the refs. I'm sure i am biased because my money has been on the other side, but i'm cool with that as well

It has been a lifelong (well, gambling life long) battle for me to figure out road teams at Hawaii. Back in the early 2000s my buddy and I shared an account and blindly bet Hawaii in every home game and that went well. Then things adjusted and stopped going well. If I was smart I'd never bet on their games on either side, but they're always so conveniently late that I can't help myself, I just haven't figured out how to figure their home court advantage.

Would love to somehow switch them with some other team that was a little more reliable, but yeah they are great for some late night action. Just have to figure out if they any good or not. They can't stop talking about that Standhaardinger kid, but man I just don't see it

I actually thought this was entertaining, was just coming in to post that I enjoyed it.
I am, however, easily entertained and get your point. I "play to the competition" when I want to veg out on a movie/TV show.

nice work
typically slow down during in conference play?
Iv'e read from several other ncaab cappees they say time to take advantage is out of conference then after that its tough

Yes, absolutely.
When I handicap games I almost exclusively use stats, styles of play, and personnel to decide what should be a play. It is rare that I use emotion or other intangibles and that comes into play much more in conference play, but it's how I look at things and I'm not sure how to change my brain. I think that stuff can often be overrated, and I think nropp, as good as he is, gets himself in trouble here, but there's no doubt it comes into play much more in conference.
That being said this is the first time I've really researched everything I've played instead of a lot of shooting from the hip, and I'm pleased with the results. Hopefully that carries over into conference, but yeah, I was planning on posting something here about how I've traditionally been much better pre-conference play.

It needed more gambling though. I watch a movie with gambling as its premise to see GAMBLING scenes.

Bye bye, movie channel subscriptions. I pay $34 to get HBO and Showtime a month, offset by my $33 credit first 12 months with DTV. Outside of the shows, it's a waste. This will make that decision much easier.

Since I've been researching Hawaii this week Standhardinger keeps coming up and I knew he sounded familiar so I looked him up and it turns out he played for Nebraska before transferring to Hawaii. After reading up, he actually wanted to transfer to LaSalle but after LaSalle accepted him he was arrested in Lincoln one night at 3:40am after police found him passed out in a car naked with an also passed out shirtless chick and LaSalle, being a christian school, told him no dice.
I'm definitely betting on Hawaii more.
