FLORIDIAN

Appreciate all the responses....all well thought out. I'm just going to let it ride in the semis and see what happens. Miami won me a very good money bracket pool....so they at least got me something up to this point. 

Thanks

Hoping some folks can help me out here. I have a futures bet on Miami to win the Championship that would pay $3,500. What is the strategy, if any, on hedging something in the semifinal game? The problem is UCONN is -250 money line. Is it stupid to even consider a hedge for the semifinals?

Thanks

First Quarter under is 59 1/2

I see a low scoring first quarter. Through 3 games...the 76ers are averaging 26 first quarter points. The Pacers are averaging 27 first quarter points. I see Philly leading 28-27 after one quarter. 

As big of a moose as you can get. 35 foot meaningless banker at the buzzer. 

Got it...thanks for replies. Never had it happen before so it was a jolt to the system for 5 minutes trying to figure out why winning bet didn't post. 

It's a local book...FYI. 

I had over 10 runs and the bet was voided because Gray didn't start. Do I have any argument here?

Tailed and capped off a nice day. Thanks PJ. Rolling over $200 on Auburn ML tonight...like the plus money and a bonus if it hits. 

The ridiculous Virginia turnover with 20 seconds left put it all back in play. 

Thought we were getting a break when he pulled up early from 35 feet...but nope.

Wrong end of that one and Arizona State. 

Ridiculous. 

Senior night in Athens. Ohio came out the other night against Central Michigan very sluggish. Bobcats have looked terrible in every CBS Sports Network Friday night game. I think that changes. Bobcats make shots in the first half and cover the -4. Good luck. 

And yes...forgot to mention. I like OHIO even if Carter doesn't play. 

Jason Carter will be a game-time decision for Ohio (14 PPG, 6 Rebounds PG). He sat out Miami Tuesday night with a leg injury. 

The Bobcats failed miserably in their two big conference tests against Toledo. Only two conference losses of the season. In both games, the Bobcats were out of it at halftime. 

I don't see Ohio coach Jeff Boals allowing his team to wilt a third time in a BIG conference game. Ohio wins tonight and it really should go onto win the regular season title. 

Don't need the +2 tonight. 

Take OHIO ML. 

Both teams on a bit of a roll...granted the competition hasn't been great. The bottom six teams in the MAC are just putrid. Kent does own a win over Akron at home earlier this year. While Kent doesn't have a ton of depth, Sincere Carry does scare me as he's capable of putting the team on his back and scoring 30. 

Akron is more balanced and John Groce (former Ohio coach who led Bobcats to sweet 16 in 2012) has a way of getting his teams ready for March. If Akron can shut down Carry, then I think this turns into a 10 point win for the Zips in a grind out game. 

I'll take the Zips to cover at home -2.5.

Good luck to all. 

3-2 with the lines I got.

Tough first half beat with 18 1/2. 

Holmgren traveled with 10 seconds left in half up 18. 

Will do. 

Great to hear. I wish I would’ve taken the first half as well. I just had a feeling Ohio was gonna be stuck in mud in the first 20 minutes. I don’t post very often but I do follow the MAC very closely. I’ll try to post a few more on a regular basis. Glad ya hit. 

Winner 

Chips +13.5
