Hurricane Ditka 0 Posted March 24, 2007 I think Ohio State wins by 7 and it won't be that close. I'm still not sold on this Memphis team. I think the same, I updated this play to 4 units. $100 on Oden! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tarheel Boy 0 Posted March 24, 2007 Memphis just didn't have the players to keep up with OSU. There's never such a thing as easy money, but that game was as close as you could get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tarheel Boy 0 Posted March 24, 2007 I might be buying into the UCLA home court advantage too much, but I took the Bruins. Home court didn't work well for Louisville nor Texas A&M, but I'll take my chances I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swirvenirvin 25 Posted March 27, 2007 OSU staight up, only hedging my brackets, if Gtwon wins I shoudl win two of them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phillybear 364 Posted March 28, 2007 Adding Air Force 1st H (-.5) for 2 unit. This is a hard team to prepare for. The teams in their conference finally have figured them out, given AF struggles this year. But out of conference, this team is gold, as they were early this year. And here they are, in the NIT Final Four. I don't think Clemson will be ready for this unique offensive system. Especially early on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phillybear 364 Posted March 28, 2007 Drinking for the first time since Friday, making a true degenerate play... WNCAA Purdue (+7.5) for 1 unit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phillybear 364 Posted March 28, 2007 WV hits a 3 at the buzzer to fock me. Out of spite, I am upgrading AF for 3 units for the game. I like this game as much as any game left this year. I consolidated my betting, so 3 units = 12 units earlier this year in hoops. I'm doing OK in the NBA tonight, and in hoops for the week, so I think I can absorb an AF loss. Rolling the dice. Pound Air Force. Like Memphis tonight. Have them for the game and 1st Q, with further action to follow. LAL are 0-9 ATS the last 9 games. It's as if Phil has given up on the season, and is letting Kobe pad his stats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phillybear 364 Posted March 29, 2007 Tuesday sucked, for posted picks. Drinking and betting is a dumb combination. Despite that, it's been a decent couple of weeks overall. Thursday Clemson (-1) for 2 units LOSER Chicago (-4) for 2 units Over Mem/Por (196.5) for 2 units Phoenix (-4) for 2 units Parlay: Phoe 1st H (2.5) and Chic 2nd H (-4) .6791 units to win 1.7657 units Good luck to all.

swirvenirvin 25 Posted March 31, 2007 Lee Humphrey (Florida) Total 3 Point Field Goal Attempts on Saturday - Must Start Under 6 1/2 Three Point FG Attempts Still hedging a little since I can win 2 brackets and have Gtown winning them both so taking monetline on OSU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tarheel Boy 0 Posted March 31, 2007 Here are my picks for today: Ohio State +1 for 5 Units - Georgetown is a solid ballclub and are very patient looking for their shots. They, along with UCLA, should be able to control tempo in this game. Ohio State will look to push the ball up the court and I look for Conley to drive to the basket like he has this entire tournament. The last 3 games he's gone to the FT line 30 times. That's a ridiculous amount of times for a team that has a big man. Georgetown would be pretty foolish to play zone against the Buckeyes with guys like Lewis, Cook, and Butler on the perimeter ready to rain down the 3 pointer. I think the Buckeyes will look to get Hibbert in foul trouble early on. Yes, Jeff Green is one of the least talked about players for the Hoyas, but Ron Lewis is almost in the same category. I don't think the Hoyas will be shooting lights out like they did against Carolina and if they don't they're in trouble. They are a patient team running a modified Princeton offense and they will get their points, but I think OSU's perimeter game will be the difference. The hype between Oden and Hibbert will be pretty much a non factor. UCLA ML - I really can't stand watching UCLA play. They play effective, but ugly and boring basketball. That being said, their defense is without question the best of the four remaining teams. Affalo is the Bruins best player and athlete and he'll have to be huge today if they want to beat the Gators. As for Florida, I think there are too many things going against them today. One, as I mentioned in my Final Four thread, this seems eerily similar to the 1991 Final Four semifinal between UNLV and Dook. The Runnin Rebels returned everyone of significance to defend their title and thought the world was against them. Everyone returned from Dook stinging from the ass whoopin they got they year before by UNLV. The end result? One of the biggest upsets in the Final Four. Granted the Rebels were undefeated which made it bigger, but I think there are too many parallels. Another thing against Florida is Noah running his stupid focking mouth all week long. I don't know why he thinks everyone doesn't think the Gators are a great team, the majority of the nation picked them to repeat. That being said, his mouth is what ultimately will be what does Florida in. Another factor that can't be ignored is the Donovan rumors swirling around that he's going to Kentucky. While it might be an insignificant point, I do think that has to be taken into consideration. On the flip side of that the rumors were even worse in 2003 when Roy Williams took his Jayhawks to the Final Four. They did nothing but spank Marquette in the semifinals and then lost by the slimmest of margins to Syracuse. I still like UCLA to win this game outright, so I don't need the points. Good luck, everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tarheel Boy 0 Posted April 1, 2007 I guess I'm getting into depression about the college hoops season ending in about 30 hours, so I had to make a wager on the women's game tonight. I took LSU minus 3 and I have no clue what their record is nor Rutgers for that matter. I just went to my favorite gambling forum and a lot of people liked the Tigers, so it sounded good to me. I think Rutgers was the team that beat Dook, but I honestly can't remember. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
