FFA Wagering Thread: THERE HE IS!@! (12 Viewers)

What's good on the frozen water tonight, boys? :popcorn:
I got a two and a half star play for you. Ducks over 29.5 Shots. I'd say three but our confidance is down, we had our first >1Unit loss in two weeks last night.
Good call bud, this one hit pretty quickly. :thumbup:
:bowtie:Oddly enough - I'm looking to go short the ducks tomorrow night.
Just thinking the same thing...but I also had the Hawks U31.5 tonight...GULP
 
2005 was OK-ish. 2nd round KO to NCSt. IIRC.2007 I think they missed the NCAA and the NIT. Incredibly young team that was just brutal.2008 they were a #4 seed and lost in the first round when Price blew out his knee.2010 they didn't make the NCAA.2012 isn't looking good for the NCAA.2013 they might be DQ'ed because of the academic sins of former players.That's potentially 4 NCAA misses in a 7 year span, depending on how the APR appeal shakes out. Add in the Nate Miles scandal, JC getting cancer and spinal stenosis, an incompetent AD that's only recently been replaced, the laptop scandal, various other academic and disciplinary infractions, there's been a lot of ugliness amongst the good times.
GTFOOH with this "grim years" nonsense. Try being a Nebraska fan (even though they're my second favorite team). They just scored 34 points in a college basketball game last weekend.They've never won a ncaa tournament game.They haven't been to the big dance since 1998.The program's one shining moment was winning the NIT back in the 90's.The last time they won a conference title was like 62 years ago.A Uconn fan talking about "grim years." :lmao:
:goodposting:Cry me a ####### river UCONN fan
You guys suck ##### at reading.The whole point I was making, and that I clearly spelled out, were that the lows were comparably low relative to the highs. A bad year for Duke or Kentucky is going out in the 2nd or 3rd round of the NCAA's. A bad year for Connecticut is a first round NIT exit and someone getting kicked out of the program. All three teams are national title contenders fairly frequently, but UCONN always falls further than those other two. I'm not saying I would trade an up-and-down team for a down-and-down team, it's just odd.Sorry you guys follow schools that always stink. :cry:
Based on your "grim years" bull####. You have never really followed a sports team in your life.
You and the other guy are ####### stupid. Seriously. I pray to God/? that you are not in charge of anything important in your daily lives.1) I've followed the Sharks through their inception when they stunk. I followed the Niners through a decade-long period of being terrible. I've followed the Warriors since I was a child. One year after another of mediocre coaches, bad trades, overpaying on the free agent market, so on and so forth. GS traded the possible rights to this year's #1 pick for Marcus Williams a few years ago. Awesome, right? I think he's playing in Puerto Rico right now.Warriors fans, collectively, are used to this. Players change, coaches change, front office changes, doesn't matter. They still stink. It's just how things are. There are few opportunities in the NBA to really get better, and the Warriors never seem to grab any of them.So what happens a few years ago, when GS puts together a decent team and catches fire near the end of the year, and knock out a very good Mavs team? The entire town goes. #######. ape####. Even though they got creamed by the Jazz in the next round, you still see t-shirts around from that run, which lasted about two weeks. Lakers go out in the 2nd round, everyone wrings their hands. Warriors go out in the 2nd round, it's considered a legendary year. Why?

The fanbase constantly frets, worries, picks #### apart, etc. People were calling for Calhoun's ouster in 2004, when they had the #1 ranked team in the pre-season and dropped more games in-conference than they were expected to. They then won the title, of course, not dissimilar to people wanting to run Coughlin out of town in NY this year.Mind you, I wasn't even speculating that the combination of Calhoun's health problems and missing the NCAA's next year (which could put a pretty big kink in recruiting), could very well be a hole that UCONN never fully digs out of.

Well that turned out ok...
yup. Never underestimate a guy named Uncle Creepy. Words to live byETA: Wow, that was highway robbery. That mother F'er robbed me twice, first when he fought Torres, and now in this one. No doubt McCall won, total :bs:
I knew this b.s. would happen. The Australian athletic commission read the scorecards wrong, and it should have been a draw, which would have went to a 4th round which McCall would have won :rant: pretty positive the sportsbooks will not hook us up here, but we can find out.
Big props to OUKurt and the Betevo guys on looking out for the little guys on this one. Much appreciated for them going in and cancelling all the bets on Ian McCall because of the mistake by the Australian Athletic Commission. Here's to Kurt :banned: Thanks buddyETA: sportsbook told me they are "looking into it", and am waiting to hear back from 5dimes. I think i am looking at betevo as the preferred site now over these 2.

Do you think Kurt will forgive the Lakers blowing a 20-point 4th Q lead?

:lmao: that would be nice. I had a good chunk on the Lakers 2nd half, and watching Sac. hit that 3 pointer with time running out on the clock was like a nice kick in the balls. Good times

:lmao: that would be nice. I had a good chunk on the Lakers 2nd half, and watching Sac. hit that 3 pointer with time running out on the clock was like a nice kick in the balls. Good times
I had the under in the 2nd half. 10 points in the last 28 seconds. But it's not just that. You guys have to read this:Francisco Garcia, with his team down by 9 ####### points, is fouling with 28 seconds left. Metta World Peace throws it up after-the-fact and so they give him 3 free throws. He hits ALL 3. Joke. 3 seconds later Isaiah Thomas makes an easy layup. And then, down 10 ####### points with 18 seconds to go, they foul again. Unreal.What do they do next? Sacto takes a TO, down 11, with 19 seconds left. Think about that a minute. It's crazy, what I'm seeing, and with the spread on the line, it's impossible to not question things.Garcia misses a 3. Offensive board. Some other doouche misses a 3. And what do they do with 9 seconds left? Yep. FOUL. Beyond belief. Seriously. Now down 11, with 9 seconds left, an NBA team is fouling with the number right on the spread, of course.What's more, is Kobe actually misses his second FT (in 3 attempts) and on the second one, he BANKS IT IN. Yeah, Kobe banks a FT. No idea why he was even in still, but whatever.Then our boy, Francisco Garcia rushes down for his 3rd 3-pointer in the last 30 seconds and hits another one. Lost by a half point, giving up 10 points in an absolutely bizzarre 28 seconds. Mind-blowing. Francisco Garcia and Isaiah Thomas and their families are a ####.
 
Ok looks like we will be accepting SOG plays by e-mail for the remainder of the NHL season. The vig offered will be at a "5" discount. Meaning if the listed vig on a SOG bet at Sports Book is -115 your vig will be -110. If the vig is +100 you will get it at +105. Any questions just e-mail me but this is pretty straight forward.

I am still trying to make sure every possible betting option for every sport is made available to the many of you guys with Bet Evo accounts. Communication with Costa Rica can be slow, especially when it is indirect communication and my boss is in Vegas. Also we have had a few football season only type bettors that have gone inactive and a few account spaces have opened up. If any of you without an account at Bet Evo want to try out the book and plan on betting some March Madness or some MLB in the coming months, shoot me an e-mail at kurt.howard@cox.net and I will get you set up with an account and comp bet.

March Madness has arrived. I will be putting together a sweet bracket contest this year for the tournament. If interested shoot me an e-mail for details. Huzzah!

Taking some long dogs in the Honda classic and going back to the well on Westwood. He's 10/1, playing him for 20 bucks. Ben Crane 25/1 for 10 bucks. Spencer Levin 50/1 for 10 bucks. Huh 60/1 for 10 bucks. Brendon De Jonge and Bud Cauley 80/1 for 5 bucks each. Props Tiger finishing position over 15.5 -105 and Rory over 10.5 -115 for 50 each. Matchups Crane over Bradley +115, Crane over Allenby -125, Crane over Rose +120, Levin over HOwell -105,Huh over Walker -115. All matchups to win 50.
i think these turned out alright for today. I am on Crane tomorrow -110 over Howel III, do you golf guys like anything else? i think i took Mark Wilson -140 over Camilo Villegas too
Not really, but I like the Crane play Mo. I'm on it too.
I am on Crane as well, also added Rose over Oosthuizen
looks like a good call with Rose, wish i would have tailed along
17 and 18 to go, Crane down by 2 to Howell.
alright Tat, and any other golf guys. Who do you like for tomorrow? i took Jimmy Walker over Harry English, and a few others that look alright, but i'll wait to hear from you guys who know better
The course will be considerably tougher today.

Only 2 matchups that I would look at are:

Harrington over Els

Crane over McDowell

 
In Greece for work and headed to a BBall game. Naturally, a play is in order. Taking Paok Thessaloniki +26 -110 @ Panathinaikos for 2U.

 
2005 was OK-ish. 2nd round KO to NCSt. IIRC.

2007 I think they missed the NCAA and the NIT. Incredibly young team that was just brutal.

2008 they were a #4 seed and lost in the first round when Price blew out his knee.

2010 they didn't make the NCAA.

2012 isn't looking good for the NCAA.

2013 they might be DQ'ed because of the academic sins of former players.

That's potentially 4 NCAA misses in a 7 year span, depending on how the APR appeal shakes out. Add in the Nate Miles scandal, JC getting cancer and spinal stenosis, an incompetent AD that's only recently been replaced, the laptop scandal, various other academic and disciplinary infractions, there's been a lot of ugliness amongst the good times.
GTFOOH with this "grim years" nonsense. Try being a Nebraska fan (even though they're my second favorite team).

They just scored 34 points in a college basketball game last weekend.

They've never won a ncaa tournament game.

They haven't been to the big dance since 1998.

The program's one shining moment was winning the NIT back in the 90's.

The last time they won a conference title was like 62 years ago.

FWIW.. Just had a chat with 5D. After my chat agent dude initially said they were grading a loss for McCall, he double checked and cancelled the bet. He said they are now grading it as a draw.

 
traveling for kid's bball tourney.. Literally in podunkville usa. This is what I took to keep me entertained during the day:

uconn -6

syracuse -8.5

nc -2

cleveland state -1

glta

ab

 
Reminder, almost every home game today is either a Power 6 or Major Conference 'Senior Day', where strange things can happen with home dogs, and home favorites can sometimes deliver a no sweat cover.

Some of the mid major Tournaments going on right now play on the home court of the higher seed, but some are playing at a 'neutral' site, which is still home court to one team in the tournament.

Lots of Teams out there playing with nothing to lose at this time of year, some also play with little or no effort at all, depending on the quality of the Coaching and makeup of the Team, because for over 80% of the D-I Teams, their season, for all intents and purposes, is already over and there's nothing left to play for.

Play safe, pick your spots, and good luck!

Recreational ($25) plays, that no one should tail. I just want some skin in the game, and some early afternoon excitement. Not picking to lose, of course, but at a quarter a game, not risking enough to put much effort into capping.

U.Conn. -5

South Florida -1.5

NC Greensboro +2

NC Ashville -12 *Big South Conference Championship* #1 vs upstart #7 VMI, who's run ends today...over 160 looks good too.

Stonybrook -17

Drexel -13

Good Luck!

 
Here's one for 1u:

South Carolina @ Georgia (was -6, just moved to -5.5)

The two worst teams in the SEC, by far, but two different stories, and Georgia's is a much better one. Two weeks ago, Gamecocks won the game on their court. South Carolina is so bad it should be an auto-play Georgia because the idea that South Carolina could sweep anyone is completely ludicrous. So it becomes a matter of the spread, which is now falling in Georgia's favor, very likely because the Bulldogs were embarrassed by Kentucky on national TV two days ago by 30 points. How soon they forget that a week ago, they upset vs Florida. The thing about Georgia, though, is that they compete night in, night out. I don't know anyone who watches as much SEC hoops as I do, and I've never seen UGA mail it in, and they are especially tough at home. South Carolina is in a tailspin, having lost 5 in a row since beating vs Georgia 2 weeks ago. Over this stretch they have at times looked uninspired, and definitely have the look of a team who is mailing it in...although Wednesday night they took vs Miss. St. to OT from down 7, but Miss. St. is psychologically damaged goods, and is in a tailspin of their own. I think the 'cocks can't wait for this Season to end. Add in the Senior Day twist with Dustin Ware and Gerald Robinson being such big pieces of this Team, and the continuously improving play of Freshman PG Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (KCP), who is a legitimate star-in-the-making, and I think Georgia not only wins big today, but has it in them to pull a 1st Round SEC Tourney upset in New Orleans.

Good Luck!

 
Here's another for 1u:

Ohio Valley Conference Championship: #1 Murray State (-7.5) vs. #2 Tennessee State

#1 vs #2 but the gap between these two is HUGE. Murray State has a legit shot at getting to at least the Elite 8 in the Big Dance. #4 Seed Tenn. Tech was supposed to give them a game in the last round, and Murray State blew them out by 20. Tennessee State is the ONLY team to have defeated Murray State this season, @ Tennessee State, and Murray State will look to avenge that loss with authority, making a statement win in a Conference Championship Game on National TV with the game that punches their ticket. It puts a beautiful cap on their tournament resume (taking care of unfinished business).

Love it enough to make it 2u, but going to be patient. It's a long day.

 
small RR parlay on these sides:

Toronto (-110) at Montreal

Toronto/Montreal Over 5.5 (+110)

Tampa (+145) at Carolina

Tampa/Carolina Over 5.5 (-110)

Nashville (-135) at Florida

guess I'm on all 3 road teams. like Toronto to play hard for the new coach on HNIC. Tampa just looks like a value play to me, and I've been burned betting against them in 2 of their last 3 games. Florida doesn't seem strong at home and I just think Nashville is a much better team.

I knew this b.s. would happen. The Australian athletic commission read the scorecards wrong, and it should have been a draw, which would have went to a 4th round which McCall would have won :rant: pretty positive the sportsbooks will not hook us up here, but we can find out.
Big props to OUKurt and the Betevo guys on looking out for the little guys on this one. Much appreciated for them going in and cancelling all the bets on Ian McCall because of the mistake by the Australian Athletic Commission. Here's to Kurt :banned: Thanks buddyETA: sportsbook told me they are "looking into it", and am waiting to hear back from 5dimes. I think i am looking at betevo as the preferred site now over these 2.
Do you think Kurt will forgive the Lakers blowing a 20-point 4th Q lead?
I don't bet much NBA and actually just bet the Kings +10.5 for some late night entertainment. Strange happenings at the Staples Center last night for sure. Especially those last 30 seconds.

not looking so hot today out there. just saw some of the scores, i'm losing all my picks. Crane being +3 is a real pain in the ###, same with Walker being +3 after his good shots yesterday. i also grabbed Rose +145 over Rory, which isn't looking so hot right now.
 
4PM, 1u plays:

Alabama (-2) @ Ole Miss: The dust has settled between Coach Anthony Grant and his players, and this team is back to being a force to be reckoned with. With JayMichael Green on board, and Tony Mitchell completely out, the Tide has regained their focus, and are looking to make up lost ground both within the SEC and in the eyes of the Selection Committee. The Tide is HOT, having won 4 in a row. Ole Miss has been up and down, and won 2 straight, but vs slumping LSU and @ fading Arkansas, who is no longer invincible at home. Prior to that, the Rebs were manhandled vs Kentucky, @ Vanderbilt and @ Tennessee. Ole Miss can hang with their SEC equals, but an Alabama team with all it's ducks in a row is a lot closer to Kentucky, Vandy and Florida than to the Arkansas and LSU's of the Conference. Terrence Henry is a HUGE part of this Ole Miss Team, but I can't see any Senior Day shenanigans here, the Tide are on a legitimate mission.

Vanderbilt (-1.5) @ Tennessee: Wow! What a matchup this should be, and at 1st glance, looks like a game to stay off, but I really like Vandy in this spot. There's no doubt Tennessee is one of the most dangerous programs right now, but they are a certain kind of dangerous, and don't match up well with Vandy at all. In the 1st meeting @ Vandy, the Commodores won by 18. Pretty sure that was before super freshman Stokes came on the scene for the Vols, but regardless of the splash he's made, the veteran laden squads have controlled him, and there's not a more vet-laden squad in the SEC than Vandy. Vandy is a very complete Team that would rightfully belong in any Final 4 discussion if it wasn't for their abysmal Tournament history. Well, this ain't the tournament, it's the run up. Tennessee has won 7 of 8 in February, but outside of the upset @ Florida, it's been vs Georgia, vs Arkansas, vs Ole Miss, vs and @ South Carolina, and @ LSU. Ho Hum. Cameron Tatum is a pretty big part of this Team, Renaldo Woolridge not so much, I don't see the Senior Night effect kicking in here. Unlike Florida, Vandy can play defense, and at Tennessee's level. They just have too much firepower for the Vols to match up with.

Yea I was all over Crane, yesterday too. Let's just all agree we have no idea about golf, and almost everything is a ####### toss up.My confidence combined with Tat's confidence, cost me a ####load of money.
 
S&G $25 adds:

#1 Bucknell -12.5 vs #5 Lafayette, Patriot Conference Tourney

#1 Iona -15.5 vs # 8 Marist, MAAC Tourney

Tournament mavens already know the Bucknell program, but everyone who hasn't seen Iona play yet, ought to find a way. Scott Machado, Michael Glover and Momo Jones are as dangerous a 'Big 3' in the Nation as it gets. They can absolutely get to the Sweet 16, and maybe further.

 
Well, Tennessee State has hung tough with Murray State thus far. Eight minutes to go, if you're not watching, you should. Tenn. St. was up 7, and their big gun Covington picked up foul 4 and went to the bench. Murray went on a run to take a 3 point lead. Coming out of the timeout, Tenn. St. went all in, putting Covington back on the floor with 4 fouls, and Tenn. St. just took the lead back. This has been a great game, better than I expected, and it looks like it's going to be a FANTASTIC finish!

EDIT: Game's on ESPN2

small RR parlay on these sides:Toronto (-110) at MontrealToronto/Montreal Over 5.5 (+110)Tampa (+145) at CarolinaTampa/Carolina Over 5.5 (-110)Nashville (-135) at Floridaguess I'm on all 3 road teams. like Toronto to play hard for the new coach on HNIC. Tampa just looks like a value play to me, and I've been burned betting against them in 2 of their last 3 games. Florida doesn't seem strong at home and I just think Nashville is a much better team.
Not fading the Panthers again, they have cost me a lot of money the last month. I'll join on that Carolina/Tampa over, that's a good value play there (I see it at +100). Also going with Nashville/Florida U5 +110 and a parlay that I won't bother to post because it'll never win.
 
5PM: Missouri Valley Conference Tourney #2 Creighton (-5) vs #3 Evansville

2u. Blue Jays Doug McDermott is literally a man among boys, not only in-conference, but on a National level as well. If he was on a more recognized Team, he'd be right in the running for POY. Creighton and Wichita State are both legit Tournament Teams, and it would be a disaster if they don't play for the League title. Probably my favorite play of the day

:goodposting: i was just taking my dogs for a walk, wondering to myself why the hell i bet on golf last night since i couldn't recognize any guy i bet on, let alone remember half of their names :bag:

Hell, the rest of my day is gravy at this point. I came thisclose to submitting a bet on the Bruins to make an "easy grand"... which would have cost $2,300. WHEW! Boston plays down to their competition. It's disgusting. No killer instinct like last year.
