I'm capping Nova at -2, so that will be my only play tonight. St Joes did beat ND early on, but are slumping lately. Creighton just beat them by 29 and they struggled to a 12 point win over 1-9 Coppin State.

Good Luck

The RLM in that game indicates you're probably on the right side of that one

You say WV hasn't proven anything and I agree but what has Duquesne proven. They are 5-4


Their record is another reason I like them honestly, 3 of their 4 losses were to solid teams. I honestly just really like the spot, West Virginia's only true road game they shite the bed against Gonzaga, I'm banking on them coming out flat again tonight and letting Duquesne hang around.

Still over 100 spots better than Duquesne in KenPom. I capped it at WVU by 11 last night.


KenPom projects a 69-65 victory for West Virginia, fwiw.

Got it. I wasn't trying to call you out, just trying to get some good insight to make some cash. Good Luck

So I'm against KenPom and dg on WVU, against 30u30d on Santa Clara, against RLM on St Joes, and my final pick is hoping Mich shows mercy to Binghamton.



Should be a solid night

Don't worry I wasn't offended, lol. Not too many on here like to discuss betting on basketball. We all have our own approach, I am pretty open minded and always like to hear the reasons someone agrees or disagrees with one of my sides.

Good Luck tonight guys.

I think we should have a daily "Basketball" Bet thread instead of separating the NBA and NCAA threads each day too, btw. It ends up being the same guys in both threads for the most part anyway.

5-3 last two weeks in NBA, Lost my Pistons +6 by 1, and my under in the Mavs-Kings was terrible (I dont even know why I bother with sides anymore).

Last night was all chalk and I see a lot of dogs with some good matchup's at home tonight.
I'm playing
Brooklyn +3
Pistons +5.5
and Bulls +3 (locked it up early before it dropped this morning)

Haha, I'll never understand how someone can watch/bet one but not the other. To each his own I guess.

Do any of you guys keep a running tab of your W/L record through the season that is posted anywhere? If not, how is your record thus far?

I only bet college sports but watch all of them. I guess I care about college a thousand times more so I'm willing to bet on it.

I'm the same. I can barely watch NBA. I've tried betting on it to make it more enjoyable to watch, but just couldnt do well in it. Now I hardly even watch it.

Cavs +6.5 and Nets +3.5 for me.

Kyrie is expected to be back tonight so I'm hoping he provides a lift for the Cavs. If not its only a unit.

I really suck betting NBA, don't know why. Got my arse handed to me last year and finally had to stop.

Duquesne +8 (I've watched WV this year and they have not impressed)
Hornets ML (-220)

I like the Cavs play. Fading the Lakers has been absolute $ this year, but the Cavs and Byron Scott are so bad. After that Raptors game last night I am done betting on bad NBA teams. Hornets are a lock to win tonight getting AD back. I think the price is a good deal. I would love to go huge on it but staying disciplined.

I usually post it with my picks. I had been really busy in the last few days and hadn't been keeping up with my record. I just tallied everything.

NBA: 19-14-1 (.576)
NCAAB: 85-67-4 (.559)

So 56.2% in bball overall
