FFA Wagering Thread: THERE HE IS!@! (6 Viewers)

I hear people touting Louisville as a possible national championship team. Man, I just don't see it. Such an uninspiring team.
:confused: they might or might now win it all but not sure id call them uninspiring. michigan and duke are uninspiring.
Maybe that wasn't the right word. I just don't see them as a legit threat.
This is off the top of my head...Didnt they go to the final four last year? And they returned every single player except for the always replacement white guy that shoots jumpers?SivaRussDiengBlacksheerBehannen Or something like that.
 
I'd urge everyone to always double-check SB's grading. That is all.
2 weeks ago they graded me two 50 dollar golf matchup winners at the accenture that were losers. I didn't complain or tell them. I think it was keegan bradley in the first round, if i'm not mistaken. Whenever you have bets on props, futures, etc....check the results elsewhere. :goodposting:edit:WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship - 1st Round Matchup Keegan Bradley 1 Marcus Fraser 0 02/20/13(12:05 ET) Keegan Bradley -180

How in the world can you make money playing Pai Gow? You play that extra bet up top each time? In Vegas when we want to get our pregame boozing on we'll play Pai Gow because we know we'll about break even no matter what.I'm curious. And that's rad!
 
UL got their worst possible matchup in Syracuse imo.

Multiple guys who can handle the ball and break the press and or pressure that UL likes to apply. Also Siva and Russ Smith are undersized guards and their quicks are neutralized by the 2-3 zone.

Not to mention white hot James Sutherland...Chane Behenan has to guard him and come away from the basket (assuming M2M). Pitino has shown a matchup zone a bunch this season, so this should help, but Sutherland and Fair will just shoot right over the top.

I think Cuse wins and if you are going to give me some points, I am going to take em.

 
I have a huge pants tent right now thinking of the conference tournaments. :excited:
Please remember to lay off of the huge favorites on the ML. EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR. great teams get knocked off by lesser teams in the conference tourney. Happened to UNC and Xavier last year, to name two. Staying healthy for March Madness is far more important to highly rated teams than winning the conference tourney. Rick Pitino actually used to feel that it took a little pressure off of his teams if they didn't go into the NCAAs off of a conference tourney win.

I would take every ML dog in the conference finals.
still doing this today? :popcorn:

You are right. Usually you break about even. I played the extra bet cause it was a full table and I was up. Hiting a couple of full houses and 2 flushes with the extra bet made the bottom line that much better. Usually the extra bet is a bad bet but I had a feeling and was getting good cards so I went with it.

Why wouldn't you bet the ML then?

The entire world, and their Mothers, appears to be betting on Alabama @ 1PM vs Florida...

1st line I saw yesterday was Florida -14...that thing's at 11 right now. Time to start thinking about the other way?

Tough question. Sometimes the public is right although it is getting tempting to buy back after hitting Bama +13.5. Good looking outEdit to add:Wisky +7 this am. Now down to 5.5 after opening up at 6 yesterday. Just something to think about.

P .5u Pacific (kissing your sister at the end of the day sucks, but it's better than losing)

 
With the outcome of this Memphis game still very much in question, I passed on NC State/Miami and Alabama/Florida, and I've just chickened out of Butler/St. Louis and Wisconsin/Indiana...

I don't think I like anything enough to play until Ohio U.

...weird.

 
For taking so long to 'get it right' that was some BS going on here against Memphis. That was pretty ticky-tack for a Flagrant. Then they almost screw up the 1-and-1...really feel like forces are working against me here...

 
Ohio University -1.5, 1u - may add more, really like this Akron missing their star PG angle (Alex Abreu suspended indefinitely last week on drug charges). Mildly surprising that Akron made it this far, but with Abreu, they probably would have been the favorite to win the Tournament. Kent State was a distant third to Akron and Ohio, Kent came pretty close to advancing, losing by only 3...the whole Abreu situation has to have been very mentally/emotionally draining on Akron, and after last night's game went down to the final seconds, it's going to be asking a lot for them to compete minus their starting PG today vs a Team roughly their equal. The mitigating factor is Akron C 7'1" Zeke Marshall. He was a force last night, but again, that was Kent State. Ohio U is a much tougher opponent...

 
Going with Vandy +3 for a unit
It went back up to +3.5 so went 2 units
id like to tale can you give a little background on why vandy?
Bunch of my friends on it as a 5* pick so tailing myself
The Memphis game put me off a lot of the early games, but I've been talking up Vandy for a while here...they won the SEC Championship last season, but graduated or NBA'd all of the key figures from that Team. This year's Team was almost a complete fresh start, and they played like it early on, but have really come together over the last 1/2 of the Conference schedule. They've been playing with no expectations for this season placed upon them, and they are playing carefree and fearless right now vs competition that has a lot on the line, thus a lot of pressure. I played that angle last night, hitting the +200 ML vs Kentucky, but Kentucky already was a damaged Team that pressure could work against. Ole' Miss is a different story - they are a vet laden Team who looked very focused last night in dispatching Missouri. I played Missou in that game, and in retrospect shouldn't have, given that Pressey can be erratic and those two were close enough that the ball was going to be in Pressey's hands with the pressure on...Ole' Miss is going dancing whether they win this game or not, so there's not much incentive for them to get rattled, and they are a veteran Team, with two horses inside in Holloway and Buckner that Vandy can't match up with. Vandy's game is all about shooting and defending the three. I'm not betting this game, but because Vandy is playing so out of their minds hot right now, I'm not saying not to...I just think it could very easily go either way, so there might be better opportunities out there.
 
UNC/Maryland Over 142

Both teams are going to play 4 smalls...should be up and down the court and both should shoot plenty of threes.

Playing this one strictly on pace of play. Which is all you can really ask imo.
