Appreciate that! Those were all my intentions for the reader!


Correct, Havard just needs to finish the job today, a job they failed miserably at over a week ago. And now they get a wholly unexpected chance at redemption that I cannot see them letting slip through their fingers.

Good one!

I typed in $90 once and accidentally hit the decimal point before the 9 and I was allowed to bet it.

$.50 is their floor for anyone who is down and out (but 20 team parlays will do wonders to even two quarters)

Never seen these teams play before today, but based on this game there's no way Yale is a better team than Harvard.  Yale could not get a shot off in last 3 minutes.  Zebras bailed them out a couple times.  Yale has no one even close to Saunders.  A go-to guy like that is invaluable in a game like this.

Anyway, the replay  on the out-of-bounds call.  I know it has to be indisputable bs evidence and all that nonsense.  But this is hoop, not football or baseball.  They have what is known as a jump ball in hoop.  If they cannot tell who tipped it out, isn't a jump ball the logical outcome?  Yale got kind of screwed on that decision I think.

Congrats on the win.

Well guys, it was close as could be as expected but it looks like everyone here manipulated the line accordingly to their benefit for a winner (whether it be buying .5, taking the ML, or catching late steam on the other side).

Well done on all accounts!

Hahaha Scal. You read these games so well.  Reminds me of that Rutgers Michigan game in football.  When you have these picks and you know it's going to be close, it'd almost be more relaxing to have a teaser and tease the same game both ways!  HAHAHA

That was another ultra-close one. Good memory!

When I saw this line at 1.5 when I posted it, I was elevated. Push or win but I knew it would come right down the the wire like friggin Michigan.

Michigan taught me a lesson to buy the points here actually.

But ya can't tease. Teasing through zero is a mortal sin.
Teasing Yale would have been my only consideration which would just be creating a middle and I didn't want to do that.
