Just finished watching LBSU cover on dvr. Tell me someone saw this. :LMOA :lmao: :lmao:A Long Beach State player hucked the ball as high in the air as possible as time ran out and this little, skinny student, wearing one of those full skin suits, all bright gold head-to-toe, comes running onto the court to celebrate...well, he never saw the ball and yep, you guessed it...Got knocked the #### out! Never even knew what hit him. Face-down on the floor. Most fans were oblivious, still streaming out and celebrating, until a couple tried to help. But they could't get through his suit, which was covering his face. And so they kinda panic and start trying to pull it off him. :lmao: Then he comes to, feels what's going on, freaks out and starts swinging. Can't stop laughing, greatest thing I've ever seen. :banned:

i have been looking for it, can't find it. if anybody does find it i would love to see this

I was equally amused how the Long Beach player threw the ball so high in the air, the court was so full of people, and yet the ball didn't hit anybody. :loco:

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: I made it up. Except for the player throwing the ball sky high. When I saw that, the rest of it is what I wished woulda happened. :excited:
 
OT in Chicago after they killed off a late penalty. They seem like the better team of late (outshot LA 16 to 7 in the 3rd).

Wish Stalberg had cashed in on that penalty shot.

hope you hedged it well. Sucks getting so close, but at least it was a nice low risk bet. Good way to play some of these, winning a 1-16 bet is what i could certainly use these days

Did that dude end up dying that we bet on Friday night in the Bellator fight? Jesus I had a nightmare about him being dead in the ring.

:lmao: i don't think so, but it didn't look good. the ref from that fight has taken some heat for letting it go as long as he did too.

Everyone loving the Belmont, guaranteed they are going to be on a lot of office pools. Georgetown plays great D and they work hard, that's not a team that is going to be ripe for an upset IMO. One upset I do like...New Mexico State over IU. Aggies get after it.

Jeebus, Georgetown is only 3.5?

Belmont grades out really well on KenPom, they're 23rd in the country. They got beat pretty badly by Memphis and lost by 1 to Duke, but there isn't much else to go on in terms of quality opposition. They split a couple games against Marshall and MTSU. :shrug:Overrating the ASun, perhaps? KP has them right behind the Ivy and the Horizon in terms of quality. KP has whiffed on rating teams that typically blow out bad opposition before, but admittedly it's a hard thing to do.

Am I correct in saying the only dog on the board with a higher KenPom rating than it's opponent is Texas (over Cinci)?
 
I'll wait for Nittanylion to weigh in here (or BMJ or or whoever), but i know that Western Kentucky team cost me quite a bit of coin when my unit sizes were larger than they should have been. So for the next 2 days, i think there are 2 i like, and i am hoping the rest of you college basketball fans are on the same side too:

Western kentucky -4

S. Florida +2.5

Computers say those teams are better. :shrug:WVU also has a semi-home game in the first round.Nips, I think so.
Click to expand...
C'mon, you know there's one more. Just wanted to hear you say it.
Click to expand...
Oh yeah! :lmao:If there's a tangible justification for this, it may be that they clearly play better with JC on the bench over Blaney. They gave up in the Louisville game. Also looked lifeless for long stretches against Marquette. And the PC game was inexcusable.JC returns, and they handle Pitt easily, blow out DePaul, beat a good WVU team, and lose by a respectable margin to 'Cuse. I think they covered all four games. And not just last year, but JC teams typically tend to gel later in the season, esp. defensively. Just my two cents. If I were in the habit of playing sides, I would lay off this one.
 
OK talk me thru this

I can bet on the Field -290 vs Kentucky in the NCAA tourney....this seems like a ridiculously good bet to me. When I start to think about it though they'll be favored in every game they play in this tourney(barring injury). So is the better approach to just bet the dog ML against kentucky every game?

Feel like I'm missing something here

I'd say by the time they lose your ML bet will be +200 or less (final four / elite eight) and I'm not sure you'll be ahead of the game. At first glance that is what I see...but also may be missing something.

I think betting the -290 is smarter. If they win their first 2 games when you bet the underdog, you are down 2 units and if Duke advances, they will likely only be a ML of +130 or so - at that point you can't win your $ back.

Skip the first round dog bet, maybe the first two. If they lose it wont be till 3rd round or later. :unsure:

If they make it to the championship game, you would probably need to put up 11+ units to make a profit with this strategy - and still pray they lose.

Boy is there a lot of outrage regarding the admission of Iona into the Tournament. I don't get it, from the perspective that you look at the team as an aggregate more than the Tournament results. In that light, Iona very much belongs in this field.

I've already written a few posts here about how highly I regard Iona, and I was very happy to see them included, even if it was as a play-in. (Love how they're now calling that the 1st Round...one of the commentators on ESPN Bracketology had a hilarious line about that last night, about 60 Teams having a bye).

Anyway, I think Iona can certainly beat BYU. Marquette would be a tall task, but geez, if the Marquette team that showed up against Louisville in the Big East QF's shows up, it's not out of the question Iona could compete with them. If somehow they were to win that, they'd face the winner of Colorado State/Murray State. I think they can hands-down beat CSU, and they actually match up pretty well with Murray State...

...sorry, I'm getting waaay ahead of myself. Focusing on the task at hand, all I'm currently getting online is Iona +2, and I'm in. As soon as I see a ML, I'll play that too, and I'm hope, hope, hoping that both of these improve before tip off, in which case I'll increase my plays.

Speaking of MAAC Teams, MAAC Champ Loyola, MD +17.5 vs Ohio State could be worth a look. I'm not getting O/E #'s yet, just spreads, but Loyola, MD can play some serious D. If Ohio State doesn't take them seriously, I don't think it's entirely outside the realm of possibility they cover as a roughly 20 point dog.

I'll be on the Sabres tonight.

Montreal screwed me over the past couple games, but are starting Peter Budaj again. The Sabres need this win badly to keep their playoff hopes alive.

 
grabbing the Avs tonight. they need the win (love when people say this, who doesn't need a win), and with Perry out my fingers are crossed to have a win tonight

Has Perry been ruled out yet? I read it's a game time decision.I was leaning Avs in that game anyway, but not sure if I'll play it.

hmm, i may have jumped the gun on it. i thought it was confirmed, but i don't see anything legit confirming it
 
sounds like Landeskog could miss with the flu or something. I think the Ducks have scored 2 or fewer in their last 10 road games.

I'm going to try to stick to these two plays tonight:

Ducks/Avs Under 5 (+110)

2-team parlay: Milwaukee Bucks (-165) and Buffalo Sabres (-160)
