Betting baketball is like betting how many times your doctor is going to cup your balls in a physical. It's a ****ing disgrace.

Thank God I quit.

I quit physicals years ago (why not offer a physical with no ball cupping check option?) and should probably quit basketball betting too. North Dakota State was a great example. 9.5 point spread and they foul down 8 with 15 seconds left to lose by 10.

I've started waaay too many fights in the past with my woman starting/ending with blanket/pillow claims stemming from displeasure of basketball games. Your example is the tip of the iceberg. Anyone, betting basketball would agree.



I will venture on a limb and say that of all the team sports to wager on, basketball is the hardest one to grasp. Could though, just be me.

I'm obviously with you. I had to go out tonight just to escape the constant shellacking I've been taking.

Here's my approach to betting basketball. Bet underdogs that you think have a legit chance of winning the game. Laying points in college, especially with teams that shoot free throws poorly exacerbated by the pressure of the tournament, is instant death.

during the regular season, I look for decent or better teams playing at home that are underdogs.

Its the end of the game imo.
Fouling to try to get the ball back.
The F-Throw war.

Score is often not a good reflection on what happens in
the game. So I guess just stick with the W/L approach.
Points.... damn difficult imo.

Wisc/Xavier is a snoozefest

Pitt/Ok St. have decided not to play
perimeter defense, Ok St. out of necessity,
Pitt... I guess they dont like their big guys
defending 3's.

Score fest.

Maybe Pitt figures Ok St. will wear their
shooting hand to a nub. Ok St. looks perfectly
comfortable, and so does Pitt.
