Countdown to March Madness

Question

Looking to build my bankroll for my annual trip to Vegas for the first weekend of March Madness. I don't give long explanations for my picks and I'm not looking for people to follow I just want to see how I do posting picks. Best of Luck.

Obviously it's going to depend on matchups, but I'm keeping my eye on a few teams heading into the tourny...Iona, St. Louis, Wichita State, Temple, Long Beach St, and New Mexico. I think all of these teams can make a decent run.

By my standards I had a great run this season (not posted) in NCAAF and NFL so looking to carry it over to NCAAB. A few years back I ran a decently successful book, so hopefully I picked up a few things. I really like second half plays, but I doubt I'll post any because I don't always have access to covers.

Posted Record YTD: 0-0

Degen Play = 1/2 unit

Standard Play = 1 unit

Lock City Play (LCP) = 4 units

Leans: Pitt -3, Wisconsin +6, Vandy -4

Plays...

Duke -10 (1 unit) --- I see this game similar to the UNC-NCST game early in the season
Citidal +10.5 (1 unit) --- Citidal has been fighting to stay in games towards the end of the year and WCU hasn't played well as of late. I'll take the 10.5.

Damn iPhone...well anyways be in the books for all the other games and of course 311 day is at the MGM the same weekend. Life gets no better!!

Mr_Lock_City · Answer

CDuff311 -  I couldn&#x27;t agree more ...gotta love Vegas during March Madness.  Last time we spent most of our time at the MGM, is there a particular book you like chilling at the best?  Especially suggestions for books that give out comped drink tickets

CDuff311 · Answer

Well of course the MGM is a great place to watch all the games but the Golden Nugget, Wynn and the Bellagio are some others. I know in Reno the Circus Circus gives a free drink ticket for every bet u make over 20 bucks!!

2/18New Mexico -4.5 (1 unit) - I&#x27;m still not impressed by UNLV and I think New Mexico is playing well and love the home court advantageUNC -11.5 (1 unit) - Clemsons record at UNC speaks for itself, but I&#x27;m looking for UNC to handle business at home.  I think Clemson puts up a fight early, but I see this one ending the same was as UVA at UNC last week.  App St -5 (1 unit) - Taking the better team at homeUNCA &#x2B;8 (1 unit) - I love UNCA this year, I&#x27;m leaning towards making this a Lock City play.  My only hesitation is the long bus travel to Ohio.  E. Ky -3.5 (1 unit) - See NRopp11&#x27;s thread Long Beach St &#x2B;4.5 (1 unit) - This is a team I&#x27;ve liked all year.  I think they&#x27;ll make a statement in this game.  Creighton&#x27;s been struggling as of late.  Leaning ML as well. UConn 1half -2 (1 unit) - This is a semi-hedge of my parlay and a play on Marquette starting slow.  Marquette ml/Wichita St -2.5 (1 unit wins 3.7) - I like Wichita St, but think I will wait until the second half to play them bigMarquette &#x2B;3.5/Drexel ml (1 unit wins 3.4) - Drexel going against an injured Cleveland state.

&#xD;&#xA;You get a dog and a draft at Circus Circus Reno with a $20 bet.  Lousy place to watch games, though.  Not a lot of seats, few TV&#x27;s.&#xD;&#xA;Cal Neva just oozes with old school Reno grunginess and charm, and it&#x27;s a fun place to watch a game, but the chances are good that the guy you sit next to hasn&#x27;t bathed in a month.  &#xD;&#xA;My favorite Reno spot to watch games is the Grand Sierra Resort.  It&#x27;s out of the way, which means the ticket windows aren&#x27;t clogged with fucktards.  At least a dozen big, big screens, lots of seating, and usually a rowdy crowd.  A great place for serious bettors.  It&#x27;s not as nice as the Peppermill, but a lot more fun.&#xD;&#xA;March Madness...here we come!

Zeeba---you don&#39;t know how many times I&#39;ve sat in front of those small ass TVs at the Circus-Circus and watched baseball games. The throw back feeling is so great though. The drunk guy who tells you he&#39;s got the Reds large and yells at every pitch...then he realizes he&#39;s not going to win so he hits up the penny slots. Good stuff all around
