UNC-G +10.5 and the under against FSU

Not a great day so far. Georgetown pooped their pants and I did not put either of these above bets in :-(.

I’m not following any of your suggestions! Yeesh. :)

[NashvilleHoosier 3,624]

I was up a little on day 1, about even yesterday. So, what are we on today that is sure to go wrong?? So far for me (and let me say I feel good about NONE of these):

Illinois -7 (down to -6.5 on Draftkings)

Illinois/Loyola over 133.5

Ark/Tx Tech under 141

Oral Roberts moneyline!!! (Draftkings is doing a big boost on this so why not??)

Intrigued by:

Rutgers/Houston under 132

Wisconsin +6.5

WVU -4

The only spread bet I'm remotely confident in is Illinois. Other than that I'm hitting MLs. I haven't paid enough attention to the O/U records through round one so as much as I want to press that button, I know I shouldn't haha. I do like the Ark/TTU under, though.

Not to take away from the gambling discussion.

There was nice piece on gambling and March Madness that was on CBS Sunday Morning.  I did not realize that Brent Musberger was now working for the industry.

I guess his nephew owns some 24 Hr TV network focused on sports betting lines.  Brent is part of it.

Yeah I didn't know he was doing that either until I saw him on a Showtime docuseries. It's called Action. I thought it was a fascinating series. Highly recommend if sports gambling is interesting to you.

Yeah I’ve lost every single bet I’ve put in today. I need to pack it in and call it a day.

[NashvilleHoosier 3,624]

Well I didn’t pack it in. Cashed this baby out when Rutgers was up 8 and Houston was starting to come back while it paid $52 to salvage the day!!

[NashvilleHoosier 3,624]

And then my Oral Roberts moneyline hits!! This is why we keep coming back!!

[NashvilleHoosier 3,624]

What are we on today?? So far for me:

Arkansas -11.5

Loyola/Oregon St. over 125

Baylor -7.5

Syracuse +6.5

[hoosierpap 14,300]

Anyone else take the u157.5 at the top for this Ark/Oral Rob game? 

Also got Ark at -2.5 just before half

Ouch. I’m 2-2 so far today. Had 2 separate bets on Baylor that won. I still stand to win a decent amount of Cuse wins and the under hits.

Good to hear. I got Baylor -1.5 at halftime which was great. Thought about the under for this Cuse game but passed. I've definitely lost money on Houston no matter which way I bet this year so I stayed away altogether for this one.

Yeah Houston has been all over the map when they score a ton and when they don’t. Figured the zone would keep them at bay. Looking good so far.

What'd you get it at? I forget what it was when I was thinking about it
