  Want to take Arkansas in Bud Walton, at basically a pick (-1), but that game should go right to the final second.

  Just bet the Moneyline haha. Wish I would have done that yesterday with YSU... ML was -115. Spread was -1 (-110) of course they only won by 1 so it was a push. Right now on Sportsbook Arkansas ML is even and they are a +1.
  
  I'm putting 10 on these
  
  Arkansas ML
  BSU -2.5
  Wisconsin -4
  VCU -2
  Depaul ML +125
  Southern Illinois +5.5 (and 5 on the ML +205)
  Bradley +18.5
  
  Parlayed all of the $10 bets plus the Michigan ML(-700) $1 to win 126.72

  Haha yeah, but I just meant that the game could go either way, so not sure which team to pick. After reading my last sentence out loud I realize that I am stating the obvious. Lol.
  p
  I will probably take Arkansas ML and then Wisconsin -4. Really hope I don't turn out to be wrong about the Badgers tonight, but it's too attractive a line to pass up. So, Vegas, I'll play.

  Yeah I was going to take IU +4 then I read your first post and got suckered into Wisky -4.... It's kinda of how I felt about VCU -2 just seemed way to good to pass up which means of course they will lose the game haha.
• reclegend22

  

  Haha, let's hope not.
• Laley23

  

  Wisconsin is a safe bet. -10 would be a safe bet, unfortunately.
• reclegend22

  

  Well, Indiana is going to cover. So, I'm taking Arkansas pick for $25. Not going to second-guess myself on this one. But Kentucky will probably roll.
• reclegend22

  

  At the last second, I decided to take Kentucky instead. I am going try an experiment against myself on this one and pick the opposite of what I think as I always make a pick and then believe the other team is going to win anyway. The roof will probably collapse and I'll push.
• Iliketurtles

  

  O hey look IU won and GW is probably going to beat VCU... I think all my bets are gonna be terrible terrible bets.
• reclegend22

  

  I can probably top you. Not only have I championed Indiana all day -- and still picked Wisconsin even though I called it a trap game -- see my previous two posts. Arkansas up 8 to 2 early and hitting threes, pressing all over, crowd going nuts.
  
  Gambling can be fun and it can be miserable. That's it for me tonight.

  Lost the chance at 140$ today on 5 team 3$ parlay because Charlton Athletic couldnt beat fucking 3rd division Oxford United.
  
  
  Bastards

  UK Arkansas going down to the wire. Should be over by 1:00am.
• ohiobucks1

  

  Fuck Kentucky. Never again. theyre on my shit list. They suck. But honestly, they will be lucky to not lose 10 games again this year
• reclegend22

  

  Picking anyone, let alone a team as high profile as UK, on the road in Fayetteville is a risk. Winning in Bud Walton Arena isn't tough just because it's noisy. What happened there tonight is what you call a gift-wrapping.
  
  Done betting for awhile. Tired of being so angry while watching basketball lol. I get bored pretty easily, though, so doubt I last too long.

  Heard that lol. Problem with UK (only watched one game) is that theyre all ball hogs. Randle had about 15 plays where had he kicked it out while he was quadruple teamed, his teammate would have had a wide open 3, but every time he just chucked up miss after miss.
  
  The refs were awful too. GTFO with calling that little white kid for a foul when he had the greatest reboudn of his young life lol.
  
  
  Hit my teaser though! Wichita -8, UK +10, Umich -1.5, Indiana +14

  Decent night.. hit on 5 out of 8 including all ML bets. Knew I should have went the other way on the 3 I lost haha.
• Iliketurtles

  

  Here are my bets for the day... I should probably have only bet like $10 on 6 or 7 of these instead of all $5 on all 15 but hopefully they go well for me.
  
  UMASS -5.5
  Lasalle -10
  Auburn +10.5
  Northeastern +5
  Clemson -2
  Toledo -7
  Delaware -6
  Michigan State -11.5
  Evansille +7 and ML +255
  St Bonaventure +11 and ML +450
  Florida State -1
  Wake Forest -2
  Washington +8.5
• reclegend22

  

  Did Oklahoma State -20 and FSU pick.
  
  Might do UNLV-New Mexico, but I kinda want to just enjoy that one. Think it could be really good.

  Ugh I took 4 tough loses on the night. Ended up 6-8-1. If I could have just hit one of the 2 ML it would have been a good night. O well back to the grind tonight.
  
  At least you hit on your 2 bets for the night Rec haha.
• ohiobucks1

  

  I hit UNLV +320 at 15$. Nice night for me.
• reclegend22

  

  Haha yeah. Much needed after the Wisconsin and Kentucky games. I kinda went off the deep end in the cbb forum during the latter game. Lol. Still contend it was the worst officiated game I've ever witnessed.
  
  So far I have a parlay of Memphis and St. John's each SU.

  Nice. I considered harming myself for not taking the points on UNLV +8.5. That was stupid. New Mexico is really not as good as advertised.

  Youre talking about the UK game right? I am a fan of neither team, but the refs were all over Arkansaw's balls.

  Correct. Mark Titus wrote an article on it for Grantland in which he referred to the refereeing in that game as a "travesty" and the worst he had ever seen in a college basketball game. I still can't get over how obvious it was. I've never seen anything to quite that extreme. Metaphorically speaking, Arkansas got away with murder.
  
  As for tonight, not going great. Lost a couple of parlays and now need Utah -10 over USC to about break even on the day.
• reclegend22

  

  Got the Utes to recoup the day's losses, so could be worse.
  
  Need something to get ahead tonight. Time to bet tennis. I'm gonna put $100 on The Joker to win $1.
• ohiobucks1

  

  OSU ruined all my parlays last night. Whoops.
