Denver to win title +4500....500/23000

Denver to win the west +2500...500/13000

I need a little excitement in my portfolio...i may look to take Warriors in the future as a hedgeback...but i really like how this Nuggets team is built and is playing...Murray looks to be a stud in the making...dare i say a better version of Tony Parker?

Btw...anyone with OKC win totals going over (myself included) must be loving their wager now, considering how bad they looked the first 2 weeks of the season an_angel

I already have a previous wager on Doncic which was a bit of a hedge on Sexton, however i really cannot see Ayton or anyone else being relevant in this discussion come March and April...Doncic will be the run away winner by then

Picked up Akron second half as BIGD info was good,just got a bad start,

Have SD +6 against SD St.,they are on par with them this year I believe and took SF-6.5 to beat Cal,could be to many points,took Temple earlier so hope to hit these late ones,tailed on CSU from ODB,
Good Luck on rest guys.

good luck, jeg. hopefully something gets going here. that hornets game hurt. they just gave up in the forth after wolves pulled away. i really cant believe what they did. they are joining the grizzlies on the no play list this season

when i watch the hornets, i see two very major problems with them. the first is that they rely on kemba and only kemba. if he doesn't score, that team loses. he doesn't even look motivated because it's all on his shoulders and that feeling has got to suck. the guy shot like 70% and put up 60+ and they still lost the other night.
the second is cody zeller. i can't figure out why he is even on a professional basketball team, let alone a starting position. he's not a grinder, he doesn't box out, he is pretty good at fouling because he can't box out and gets beat to the basket, i could go on for days about him. let's look at tonight's stats. your "big man". this guy played 33 minutes, had 9 points, (his season average), was 4/8,<--- (are you kidding me?!), attempts from the field goal, 6 rebounds and graced us with 4 fouls.... rant over

beginning to notice that little adjustments have been made to the ncaa lines as of yet. like we talked about yesterday, you can get a pretty clear indication of what's going to happen by the 2H line. if you have the time and are looking for a full game bet, i would wait until the 2h. a lot of times these short favorties 2h lines are opening higher than the full game line closed, (happened with tcu against smu last night). also, was listening to ralph michaels and he mentioned as long as football is going on, even if it's a mac game, or a big primetime nba game, there will be little to no attention to even marquee match ups for the ncaa game. he was saying to start taking advantage of these weak lines until in conference comes into play, bowl season is over and nfl is dwindling down. they're not necessarily trap games, just little effort into making them sharp and most are copied kenpom lines. i guess there isn't enough money to pay that much attention. i can agree to this because i've been getting worked the last two weeks. lol

jeg, sorry about that massive loser. wasn't even close. after arky sunk 3 straight three's i knew it was going to be a bad night. dogs are becoming pretty difficult to grab at the moment.

ODB well said...i have been patiently sitting on the sidelines for the most part in college as i always do year after after, and begin to get involved in mid December once i feel the flow of the season...most people here get too involved in any sports season in the first stages of it...big mistake in my opinion...its ok to sprinkle a few wagers here and there for action requirements or capping points to it, but until things settle down as they are about to soon, it was all a crapshoot pregame, however ingame wagering based on adjusted EV is always the way to look at college hoops especially, as there is such an obvious 1h/2h flip flop dynamic when a dog outperforms in the 1st h, typically the fav settles down and regroups at half, and comes out with their A game and talent wins out in the second with a better/shorter line.

Lets get serious now and make some real gains peace_5

lmao. nice work, pb. you have too much of a conscience to be a tout, though. 

i grabbed iowa st. when it was at 1. i don't think it will com eback down but i see a massive blowout coming for iowa. def watch the 2H on this one. iowa st looks elite. iowa looks completely overrated and should not be ranked. it's amazing how the ap poll voters score these things, but they don't even take strength of schedule into consideration when weighing the polls. it's a total joke. now we see a ranked iowa team at home as a dog against iowa st.that should have bad news written all over it for johnny.

thinking purdue smashes maryaldn, as well. another fraud team high in the polls. purdue is at home off back to back losses, needing desperately a big 10 win to not go 0-2 before out of conference play starts again. they have had an extremely tough schedule so far. maryland suffers from shooting the 3 and if you can't bang shots with purdue, you're gonna be in trouble. maryland has some problems turning the ball over on offense and lacks any turnovers on defense, which should could get them into some foul trouble against a purdue team shooting 74% from the FT. i should've grabbed at 7, now i'm gonna wait to see if i can get a better number. if not, i'll settle for 8
