MSU doesnt take a ton of 3s.  Does a lot of work with 2s.  And UNC has a good presence inside.  I like the matchup for UNC.  But again MSU and Izzo vs UNC.  Id feel better if it was a similar matchup but some other school and not Izzo.  

Everything you said is true but MSU has looked like dogchit most of the year.  This isn't the typical Izzo team.

But I get that Izzo tends to Izzo around tourney time.

Basketball its a crapshoot because who thr F knows whos gonna hit 42% from 3 or what team will show up and go 24% from 3.  Who knows.

A and M isnt an offensive team at all.  They scored at will.

This game seems impossible to predict.

I've got bets on the over, Oakland ML, and State -6.5

DK giving free bonus bet for MLB

Yep good for any bet.

I don't love betting baseball.  Does anyone have any tips for how to best use the free bet?

O/U worked for me when I use bet on Baseball, I imagine pitching is not up to par with the  new season just starting and would look for a good Over bet.

I have never bet baseball either nor do I follow it. However, after learning about the free DK bet I found this and will be placing a small 4-5 team parlay on favored  AL home teams. Might also take the Run Line (spread) instead of the Money Line. At the moment I am leaning towards Baltimore, Tampa Bay, Houston & Seattle. The article explains it well enough.

Good Luck

If you want to bet MLB run lines, the +/- 1.5 can be a little scary.  If you split your stake into 2 different wagers it “simulates” a +/-1 run line.  For example, tomorrow Balty is +115 on the run line, and -190 on the ML. If you make 2 wagers, 1 on the ML and 1 on the RL, you will push if they just cover 1 run. If your normal unit is $10, you would put $6.55 on the ML at -190 and $3.45 on the RL at +115. Obviously if they cover the -1.5, you win both wagers. This will simulate an overall -135 line and you would win $7.41 total on your 2 separate wagers. You can use this calculator to see how to split it up. Works for NHL puck lines also

Don't be a stranger. I'm going to do my best to bet baseball this year. The past couple years I got bored and just bet on golf.

Looking ahead to UFC 300.  Charles Olivera, Jiri Prochalka and Jim Miller at all plus money?  Yes please.  I think Sterling opened as the dog too but that line has moved.  

Holly Holm as a huge underdog.  More about her opponent later.

Pereira is going to murder Hill in the main event.

So much for taking the AL favored home teams on opening day. Astros lost and Tampa got killed.

And this ends my foray into MLB betting. I'll stick to NBA and March Madness for now

I caught the ending and Astros came close and got called out at the tag on the plate.
