UNLV

Air Force started out conf play awful, but has been trending in the right direction since mid Feb; covered 4 of 6. UNLV started out conf place pretty good but has trended down, only covered ATS 2 of 6 since mid Feb.

Maybe throw this in a parlay....game starts in about 10min.

I think for the unlv, you should do them for home instead of away.  They are playing in las vegas is it not?

So if it is home crowd for unlv, air force will have a tougher time?  I dunno  Just saying

Re-reading my post yeah I can see how it looks contraindicating. My worry was that Stanford really is terrible, and they're proving my concerns to be true. My other angle and just gut feeling was Washington would blow them out, thus a low scoring 2H leading to the under 150. I couldn't confidently back Stanford only getting 3.

LOL 

As a new set of eyes on this page I appreciate any and all advice as long as it pertains to us winning that guap. Let Bubba rule, but there seems to be lots of good stats/info here that's not always $$$$ picks. That twat kennard pushed my duke 2nd half play, Illini looking good though!

You would have needed around 40. Sometimes John Q. gets it right.
They lost their top 4 players, you and I could beat Minny today.

My 2nd $$$$ play for the week  is VIRGINIA TECH +5 $$$$

This game is played in DC....only 4 hrs from V-Tech; therefore I will consider this to be a home game for V-Tech. Now, let's compare FL St away conf games to V-Tech home conf games and does not include 1st round. 

Florida St
 *  Won 2 out of 9 away conf ATS (NC St, Wake Forest)--2 lowly teams in the conf

Virginia Tech
 *  Won 9 out of 9 home conf ATS (Miami, Pitt, FL St, Clemson, Louisville, N Car, Wake Forest, VA, NC State)--impressive!

Some of you will challenge that this is not really a true home game...Ok, let's take the average of their home/away conf games.
 *  VT won 5 out of 9 away conf ATS (Gtech, ND, Syr, BC, Wake F)
 *  Avg is 7 games won ATS (away and home)--still covering much better than FL St. 

VT beat FL St at home by 10pts so there could be revenge factor in play for FL St and they are slightly better (by 1 game in overall play) so that's why Vegas have them as the favorite? But in conf play VT is better by 2 games....Honestly I don't see why FL St is the favorite, but since the line has moved from 2.5 to 5, a lot of money coming in on FL St. If anyone have any insight into this game, please chime in. 

I also like trends coming into conf play. VT is hot, hot, hot, only lost one game (2/17 at Miami)  ATS/SU since mid Feb. FL St only 2 (ATS/SU) out of 9 since mid Feb (not including BC game since it was a tourney game)

Sorry, I don't know names of players etc, but this way of capping has won me some.....

I'm taking Virginia Tech +5

Illini are 2-0 vs this team, on road vs full gophers team and at home they ran away in second half which was first game the three players were suspended. Glad to see so many hopped on Rutgers Saturday but hopefully no one actually watched that mn/Rutgers game but believe me, that wasn't an aberration for what this depleted team is. Even Pitino has been quoted of saying that it would be a shock if the gophers won a tourney game. What kind of coach says that?! IMO one who is trying to set the bar so low that blow out losses to powder puff B1G teams won't get him fired. Moral of the story, gophers are missing 5 starting caliber players since beginning of the season from a team that was already very talent deficient. Alright I'm talking myself into this, $$$$ play #2 for me fading my gophers again -10 is the current line which I suppose I'll have to take for record keeping on this thread although I took last night. BOL to all! Oh and huge thanks to Bubba for keeping this rolling!


I laid 3 to win 2 after buying two points, schit, they're going to win by 40, darn it. Oh well, I needed that all in huge win and I'll take it. Cheers my friend, they don't get any easier.

Yeah agree, or could have taken the average of home/away for UNLV, like I did for Virginia Tech.

$$$$$ Oklahoma Thunder -1.5   1stQUARTER  $$$$$

Just a. simple money making play. Nothing magical about his one . I like the home team up by 2 in the 1st seems like a valuable play

Yeah I think I've seen mittens post some non $$$$ plays. I do try to only follow $$$$ plays but it some who's hot has a lean I'll tail it. I try to be selective on my picks cause I would hate for someone to follow me to a loser. I want to be a winning capper so everyone else can be a winner.

@nicmittens ... you know I cant count that as a write up.

@gambleholic63  ... Yes I have you at 2-0 but you don't make the bottom leaderboard until you have made a minimum of 4 $$$$'s.  And If this thread continues to get this many posts daily I am going to have to increase that number because that Leaderboard takes time.

 

Crunching the last 5 pages of $$$$'s; summary coming

Oh, crap....for whatever reason I made the assumption UNLV was in Cali....Yes, definitely should have used home games.

Virginia Tech (9PM ET ESPN2) – Back after a couple days off and looking to build on our big win on Purdue on Sunday with another $$$$ and our biggest $$$$ conference tournament selection thus far, heading to the ACC Tournament Washington D.C. when the #6 seed Virginia Tech Hokies take on the #11 seed Florida State Seminoles at the Verizon Center.  We have been all over this Virginia Tech team for weeks, cashing a big 6 unit play on the Hokies last week when they knocked off Pitt at home as a +5 dog and we find the odds makers underestimating Virginia Tech again here on a neutral floor against a very inconsistent and overrated Florida State team.  In addition to being vastly improved since they first stepped onto the court back in November, Virginia Tech is also red hot right now as the Hokies have won five straight games including a convincing win over this Seminoles team and back to back upsets of Pitt and Miami.  While it’s true Virginia Tech hasn’t played nearly as well away from home we feel the neutral court and relative close proximity of Washington D.C. to Blacksburg make this a favorable environment for the Hokies and while they didn’t necessarily take down the cream of the crop, a pair of road wins over Wake Forest and Boston College as part of this streak at least show Virginia Tech is still capable of executing away from home.  Virginia Tech shares a lot of similarities to Washington and we like them in this spot for many of the same reasons.  The Hokies were a very young squad that really can’t accurately be judged on games from back in November and December because they have matured and made vast improvements as the season has worn on.  Also, no one expected Virginia Tech to finish as high as they did in this conference this year so the Hokies are playing with that same loose, nothing to lose attitude, while Florida State knows they are expected to win here and faces yet another spot where they will likely underachieve as they have done so many times this season.  This Virginia Tech roster didn’t just learn how to play overnight, their success is predicated on a stellar coaching job by Buzz Williams and their commitment to the defensive end, becoming a defense first team that is willing to slow down the game and rely on getting stops to win.  Virginia Tech is also running better offense and committing less turnovers over the past month and their ability to play a relatively clean game, buckling down on the defensive end and working to get a good shot on the offensive end, has become a recipe for success that has the Hokies on the fringe of an NCAA tournament berth.  Florida State bounced back from five straight losses with a pair of home wins over Notre Dame and Syracuse to close out the season and a cupcake win in yesterday’s opening round over Boston College but we aren’t buying this Florida State team as any sort of legitimate contender and certainly not a team that should be this heavily favored on a neutral floor.  Florida State is considered to have more talent which is why they are favored but this is the same “talent” that has underachieved during their time in Tallahassee.  Everything about this Virginia Tech team is overstated, from their preseason ranking to their 22 point win yesterday that was close all first half to the fact they are heavily favored here.  Let’s do what we have been doing for weeks now and take a generous number with a Hokies team that seemingly improves every time they take the floor and cash another ticket in a game Virginia Tech could and should win outright.  

$$$$ Virginia Tech +5

Not sure why this line is going up and it doesn't make a ton of sense if you follow line movement but the same thing happened last Wednesday when we took Virginia Tech against Pitt and it didn't matter as V-Tech won outright.  Unless something is up here, which there is nothing that gives any indication there would be, this is way too many points for V-Tech to get on a neutral court.  Florida State is way overrated and it will be another lackluster result for them here.  This is the only play I have left today but I'm expecting a big card tomorrow.  I will obviously post a $$$$ play here but you can find the full card at topflightsportsinfo dot com

Good luck and have a great night everyone!

Looks like Air Force was the play, UNLV was up by 10+ and AF caught up by the half. UNLV may get ahead again but their foul trouble will keep them away from their spread as it seems they can't help themselves.

Nice write up! I'm on them already, also my $$$$ play. Also parlayed with Charlotte and Holy Cross and for even more entertainment I parlayed ML VT and Holy Cross. Riding the HC train since I hit them ML and ATS last week!
