[Achilles]

I'm liking Florida -3.5 at Alabama tonight.

[BigHerm24]

Texas 2nd half is quickly becoming my standard bet every time they play... Texas -3.5 tonight was EASY money...

[LonghornEE]

Hit big on UT and Florida. Thanks for the tip on the Gators.

Same here. My only bets of the night were these two games.

I'm thinking Oklahoma St. +15.5 and UNC -5 tonight.

[LonghornEE]

Didn't post it out of respect for the Horns, but I knew we would choke tonight. Enough to put 5 units on Baylor +2 and another 2.5 units on the Baylor ML.

[Mountaineer Maniac]

Tonight, Notre Dame hosts West Virginia in what I thought was a seemingly innocuous Big East Game. After realizing it was Ash Wednesday though, I had to load up on WVU. Clearly ND's players will be too focused on lent to play basketball.

Right now, the line I got is WVU +3. Seems a little bit low, but considering we lost the first game by 4 despite getting 0 points from our second leading scorer (16 PPG) I'm not too uncomfortable with only getting three points.

It's not an obscene amount of money ($75), but I'll be able to shut my roommate (HUGE ND homer) up for awhile.

[BritishHorn]

I don't bet a lot of college hoops but I like Marquette tonight against W. Virginia. Marquette is playing really well right now and W. Virginia isnt. I kind of like Princeton tonight as well getting 11 at Harvard.

[Mountaineer Maniac]

Don't bet on WVU much, but was able to make up my loss on the ND game and then some by taking them against Marquette.

[BritishHorn]

Ive added a teaser. Jackson St. +11.5 and ND +11.

[bigbevo76]

I did a parlay tonight of Kansas -8/.5 and some NHL advice from BritishHorn.

[CurlyDumps]

I liked the Okie Dokes +9 at home, yes I bet on the hobbit tonight.

[TEXAS SOB]

today i like txtech vs. oSu under 122.5 and aggy vs. ou under 123.5

[H34TX]

how do you guys feel about halftime lines, particularly the O/U? I've been having some moderate success on the pros, anyone do this on college?

[UTEX90]

I will play the teams if the half time is way off the original line and have success doing that. I will also play totals the same way. For example if the original line on a college game is 140 and at the half they are only at 60, I will play the over on any halftime line that is considerably (10 pts or more) less than 80.

[H34TX]

Missou -5 over Texas. Kansas -6 over Baylor tonight. Thoughts? I did a 5pt teaser with Tx+10, Baylor +11, confident about UT but not Bears who are flaky.

[CurlyDumps]

With all due respect to our squad, Mizzou -5 feels like a lock. Tigers are on a warpath. They want Kansas. If Kansas wins, I love Mizzou. But if Baylor pulls the upset, Mizzou could mail it in. I like us to cover and maybe even pull the upset.

if Missou -5 is a "lock", how do you like "us to cover". Isn't this a contradiction??

if baylor pulls the upset ---> mizzou won't be as motivated, potential cover for us. he's basically saying, wait and see what happens with the ku/baylor game.

yeah, sorry, the way I wrote that was confusing.

[H34TX]

Baylor is only a -7.5 with South Dakota State. Strange?

[H34TX]

you like any of these 7pt teasers? Usually the book requires at least 3 teams for this teaser - some books allow up to 12 teams (or more) with a 7pt teaser

KSU + 0.5 over Southern Miss
Louisville PK over Davidson
Wisconsin -2.5 over Montana
Vanderbilt +0.5 over Harvard
Baylor -0.5 over South Dakota St.
NC State +5.5 over San Diego St
FSU + 1 over St. Bonaventure
Duke -5 over Lehigh

[Wally Pryor]

Baylor is only a -7.5 with South Dakota State. Strange?

Can't run far enough from any game involving Baylor. Good enough to beat a 1 seed. Can be disinterested enough to lose to a play-in team.

[BigOrange]

based on some numbers i've run:

southern miss +5.5
davidson +7.5
montana +9
harvard +6.5
gonzaga/west virginia OVER 131.5
iowa state +2
iowa state moneyline
san diego state +2
san diego state moneyline
creighton +1.5
creighton moneyline
virginia +3.5
virginia/florida OVER 121
belmont moneyline
memphis -3.5

i obviously won't play all of those, but that's the list of plays i'll be looking at for the 1st round.

our 7 losses on the year - Mizzou (3 times), Kansas (2 times), @ Iowa St, K St. by 1 pt in Waco

sorry, but we havent' come close to losing to anyone near "play-in" quality.

that said, we've won a lot of games by less than 7 points, so to me the line is pretty solid.

[BigHerm24]

Took USF parlayed with unders tonight for 50. $#@! was a lock until $#@!ing cal decided to foul the entire last minute down 18.

What the $#@!? Cost me 130 just to look like $#@!face $#@!s fouling for no reason...

[BigHerm24]

Public is all over Cincy... Texas is the play?

[Baboontyme]

I have made at least one play on every game. Currently sitting at 4-18-1. Welcome back to gambling Baboon.

hard to believe Florida is a 1.5 dog to Marquette, who is a good team but the Gators are steamrolling people.
Also thinking about NC State +8 vs. Kansas

thoughts?

[Wally Pryor]

Virginia was crap and Norfolk didn't show up and / or was still drunk from celebrating the Mizzou win. Don't disagree that Donovan Fla playing well, but no way I bet against Jae Crowder and that team. They basically were playing a road game against Murray State. And they just nutted up in the last 8 minutes and took that game over. That is a tough, tough group.

I'm teasing Kentucky -4 and Xavier +11. Also on Syracuse at -3.5.

I like the opposite side on both of those bets. I would take Marquette -1.5 and I just think Kansas has to come out and play a good game right? Kansas -8.

[BritishHorn]

I'm all over Nc St. They are the hottest team in the tournament right now and I've ridden then to 4 straight wins including the ACC tournament. Ill ride them til they lose and I'm getting 8.

agree, also very nice with a 7pt teaser and +15.

How about this ML Parlay which includes 2 dogs winning

Florida (dog) over Marquette
NC State (dog) over Kansas
UNC over Ohio
Kentucky over Indiana
Ohio St. over Cincy

1.00 pays about 14.00

[kangsta]

NIT is where the money is yall.

please expound

please expound

i'm no gambling expert or anything, but i've had a good run this year on NIT underdogs, especially the 4 vs 5 seeds in the first round. The teams all suck about the same, yet the spreads are pretty large. For example, i've bet the spread on 8 NIT games. 6 times on the underdog, went 5-1. Overall in the 8 games i've bet, the underdog has covered 6 times. (bet the favorite twice and went 1-1).

I stay away from the close spreads. the ones i've won were Nevada +6.5; Middle Tenn +4.5; Illinois St +8.5; Umass +7.5; and Oregon +5 (though i got very lucky with oregon).

Just my 2 cents.

I see Nevada +6.5 tonight vs stanford as of now. Haven't really looked into it yet but might take it

[kangsta]

disclaimer: I'm a little bit in the red overall on the NCAA Tournament, so i'm not a great college basketball better in general.

I give that about a 1 in 100 chance of hitting... but worth a shot...

[H34TX]

Kentucky -8.5 over Lville
Ohio St -2.5 over Kansas

you like the favs ?

[pray4mojo]

I do. I think UK is putting on a clinic right now on how to play both sides of the ball. Lville has been hot, but I see this ending up a double digit win. Ohio St, I think covers, but if they win, I win my pool, so I'm tempted to hedge a little bit on KU moneyline.

Kentucky -8.5 over Lville
Ohio St -2.5 over Kansas
