i like watching college bb , i don't like college bb betting if that makes sense

i think it's the hardest sport to beat , i think a bettor has a better chance in bases , nfl , college football , nba and hockey

to me , i think there are few people that win at any sports betting , and i am willing to bet that college basketball has fewer winners than the other sports i listed , and i am willing to guess that any bookmaker in the country will love taking action every night from anyone (not just joey) who plays double digit favorites every night

Gales no need to explain yourself, your a cool dude...

So have I. I'm +370 in there, so stick it.

Seriously, is there something mentally wrong with you? DD favorites every night? I posted two picks so far this season and they happened to be DD favorites. Go look at my tournament thread from March and see how many DD favorites I played. I play what the board tells me to play and my track record shows that, so I'd really appreciate if you stopped making completely ignorant assumptions about what I know or how I bet. I'd be glad to go heads up with you in this sport, but my guess is you won't take me up on it. You'd rather sit back and flap your vagina and criticize.

Ill -30 against Toledo....A line to die for.:D

i never said you couldn't win at college hoops , what i said was i don't think there is anyone in the country who can beat the books by playing dd fav's every night

as for who you play in march , after round 1 , how many dd's fav's are there anyway ? there can't be many

i already posted that i don't play college hoops , i'll be glad to take you on in the nba if you would like and the nfl as well , sides only , i don't fool with totals

it's no personal agennda here joey , i don't want to see you lose your cash , and betting dd fav's in college hoops is a quick way to the poor house

How about letting me post more than two picks before you start getting on me about what I'm betting 'every night'? Would that be reasonable? Or do you just want to continue giving me advice that I didn't ask for when I could crush you into dust betting college basketball?

You're an as shole dude. Don't dress it up like you're 'looking out for me', because the second I take advice about gambling from a dude who spent $215 on a losing trifecta at Turf Paradise is the day I hang it up altogether. You're trying to take veiled shots at me and I don't know why, nor do I care. But I'm done discussing this with you. Hop off my balls and post some picks or I'm deleting your goddamn posts in this thread.

I myself am just trying to tweak you.;)

I know.

as i said joe , i don't like college hoops betting , i follow the nba more , that's where i will post picks from time to time

False. They set lines where they think they can make the most money. If it's balanced, great. They took a shot with Seattle, dropping the line despite the obvious public money, against an overrated Maryland team and lost.

I think it's the easiest sport to beat, and has the most "professional" players. Two main reasons: (1) HUGE slates of games. It's much easier to pass on any specific game for a better opportunity. (2) Focus- one can select leagues or teams to track performance on whereas Vegas has so many games to worry about there's a much better chance that your numbers/analysis are better than theirs (which is virtually impossible to do in the NFL.)

a pro player can have success betting college hoops , no question , in my opinion the avg player does not beat the books in college hoops , they tend to play more games than they should and chase , there are fewer games in the nfl and nba to chase on

definitely agree with this. as far as I'm concerned though, there's no point in betting if you are just out there throwing darts.

Then have a Coke and a smile and shut the fu ck up about my picks. Pretty sure you're not beating me in the NBA thread either.

not trying to beat anyone joe, i am helping rht out over there that's all

trying to help him beat the book that's all

It irritates me to no end that anyone believes there are actually worthwhile trends to follow in sports gambling.

To me, they don't exist. You either bet the god-damned game and you win or lose. There's no in-between and there's not some golden gnome behind a curtain dictating the outcomes.

All it really comes down to is team preparation. And I can't control what a group of f.ucktards do. I can only try and predict which group of f.ucktards will cover.

QFT

Aw gee shucks gales, you're just a good old charitable soul. Knew you'd backtrack.

i hope you beat the books , i hope everyone on here beats the books , that's all i care about

all i did was try to give you a heads up about dd favorites in college hoops , you choose to read it the wrong way in my opinion as i said there is hardly anyone in the country that can win over the season when only betting dd favs , not a slight at all at you , but so be it


if you want to have a contest , then we can have one , i don't give a s**t

it ain't going to prove nothing

Lavs has signed - count 'em - five top 100 players for 2011 already. SJU is so back.

Catch us if you can ........

University of Kentucky

Signed Letter of Intent
Name Pos Ht/Wt Stars Rank
Anthony Davis PF 6-10/220 2
Mike Gilchrist SF 6-6/190 NR
Marquis Teague PG 6-2/170 NR
Kyle Wiltjer PF 6-9/225 6

signed Coach Cal....

yeah yeah yeah, how many of those games those guys will win will be forfeited in like 2014? Anyway, SJU having the #3 2011 class is something when they haven't signed a top 100 guy since around 2000.

What don't you understand about 'I don't need your fu cking heads ups about gambling'? You don't know any more than I do, deal with it. Try worrying about yourself a little more from now on, because your little comments aren't appreciated by anyone except maybe one dude.

joey you bashed me in post #57 , my response was to set the record straight , i ain't backtracking , take it whatever way you like and if you don't like go ahead and ban me or whatever you gotta do

I bashed you? All you've done in this thread is take potshots at me about two college basketball picks I made, then puss out when I challenged you to go heads up in this sport. You're a cheapshot taking sissy who always needs the last word but never has anything to say. Nobody wants your goddamn opinion.

I was looking tonight and I saw Duke was +300 to win the title. None of that for me.

I'll take MSU at +1150 to win it. They should be solid this year. Looking forward to Dec 1st vs Duke, at Duke.

Illinois should destroy SIU tomorrow night, it opened at Illini -15. Supposedly this game lined up because one of SIU's assistants(Ex-Weber player) talked a bunch of **** to Bruce Weber and their assistants, meanwhile, after they agreed they lost their two top young players and are very young. They will have little chance covering 15 unless we have some stud freshman which I doubt.

Teague is the only one that can play, and they will just hammer him.

i never backed out of nothing , you are factuly wrong there

make your life easier joe, just give me a one way ticket outta here and get rid of me , i'm sure if you run it by mr byk you can get it done , there is no need for this to go on any further and since my opinion means nothing to no one ain't no point in staying - peace out

Gales chill out. Your not going.

Only took 64 posts to get us back on topic. I'd take a long look at Pitt at 20-1 or so. Their guards are outstanding and I think Zanna's gonna develop into a solid big man.

I'm tossing a few bucks on Cuse n UNC

((yawn))

I guess UK fans take it while they can. Because probation's a coming. It's inevitable.

Exactly. Calipari has no shame. He is my favorite CB coach, and he is a very good college coach, his system works great, but the probabtion is a coming.

For christ sake, he recruited a guy that had been playing professional ball in Turkey for like three years. LOL. And you know what I am willing to guess that because of his rep now, he might not have to do some of things he has done in the past. Kids know that he gets guys drafted high, and know they improve them.

Like this Knight kid, you would have to think that Brandon knows that if he goes to KY, he is gonna end up a top three pick next year, comparing where if he goes somewhere else he might fall a couple spots, that is probably enough incentive to go to KY alone, and not have to do a pay to play scheme.

Unfortunately though, because KY is now a one and done factory, it will be hard to win the title, CBB is very tough, and teams that know each other ultimately play better together.

alright, I will educate you guys 1 more time.....

Umass - Camby took $ from an agent over the summer, Cal cleared.
Memphis - NCAA told them 2x that Rose was cleared to play, only to go back after the season and say he was ineligible. Cal cleared.
UK - Kanter did play for a pro club team in Turkey. The NCAA has ruled that he received $33,033 more than would have been allowed for a US kid playing at a prep school. These monies cover room and board, travel, meals, etc..
There is a good chance that they can win the appeal based on meeting certain criteria.

Last year's team was a fluke in the number of FR going pro. Maybe 2 guys from this year's team, but that will happen when you go after the best as long as the NBA makes them go to 'school' for a year.

agreed that CBB is different and it will be a few years before he sniffs a championship game at UK.

fsu is for real in the acc this year..they will cover alot..

Educate me all you want, still doesn't change the fact that he walks the grey line very well.

I love him as a coach, and from all accounts he is a good person, and I have followed his teams since UMass, and have bet on his teams to win the National Title (when I knew Derrick Rose was unstoppable and he ended up going there)

33k more? Why even waste time recruiting the kid, he knew he was gonna end up ineligible, and they aren't winning the appeal. Winning an appeal against the NCAA is like a trainer trying to win an appeal vs the racing board. Not happening.

Real good night for CBB....

Michigan State vs UConn
Duke vs KState
Washington vs Kentucky

Michigan State wins, I think Washington exposes Kentucky as sloppy. Kentucky has tons of talent but will come together later in the year

KState has a hell of a chance to beat Duke

guess I'll take sloppy ........;)
