Last year, Friday... Was even worse. We are going into The Loop today to have dinner. Forget about tomorrow! A slight band of ice/freezing rain is predicated to blow through here after Midnight, not sure when (if) it reaches WNY? Then 55 on Sunday.

Fadingpain Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I don't watch much college b-ball but I will be watching this one. I wish I had tuned into the Arizona game too, obviously. I was watching the Sabres game and fell asleep while doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moneyline is strictly a bet on who you will the game, no points involved. And the plus number is what you win if you bet $100. In this instance, you bet $100 to win on the Bulls and they win? You get $305 back..your original $100 plus the $205 you won. Last night, the BUlls were +325!!!! Getting way more respect from the gamblers after that win last night. You can also bet the favourite on the money line, Kentucky is prolly -195 or so..meaning you have to bet $195 to win $100..again no points involved.(edit) actually minus $245!!! Just as an aside..it is a bet employed by the vast majority of "sharps" on football. Less than 18% of games in the NFL are decided within " the spread" . Meaning in 82% of the games, the underdog either wins the game outright, or loses by more than the points they are getting. Typically, with the extra money you get on an outright win, the extra money on the wins more than cover for the 18% where the underdog covers. And I only bet underdogs that I think will win the game. And that was a great plan to last year, when it seemed every god dang dog I bet lost, but covered the sperad! Rough year!

My biggest win was a Maryland/Rutgers football game. Maryland was getting 21 or so, was plus $625 on the money line. Hard to find one bigger than that nowadays in football unless you get into FCS/FBS stuff, and those are tough to find a place to take the bet..books know guys who watch/know the FCS team have a huge advantage as info is limited Maryland game was the Year after Rutgers exploded on the scene, and a company I was trying to do business with had a CEO who graduated from Rutgers, was a huge fan, and I had an upcoming meeting with so I watched their first 3 games. Barely squeaked by some God awful lucky plays, were giving up huge runs running, but were still ranked in the top 15. Maryland was my favourite team back then, and they started 0-3 , maybe won one or two games the year before, but had gotten beat by some fluke plays and running game was dominant. Said screw it, I think Maryland wins the game outright..and as they say"even a blind squirel" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seieng the point, I expect Kentucky to run them off the court, don’t let this go too much to your ego.... if Buffalo can hang around then teams like Kentucky fold real bad down the stretch, go 2 for 12 from the FT line because they have no real coaching or character, like Syracuse....

Now that's a crock of **** as polite as I can say it When Boeheim has a squad of 9-10 they are title contenders. They were all heart and character this year... 6-7 guys all year, one of the hardest schedules in the NCAA, and came back from countless deficits and they actually shot FTs pretty well This year Edited March 17, 2018 by Buffalo716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
