WMtribe17 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Gonna be rooting for Northeastern to embarrass ND. If the game is played at Northeastern's pace in the 2nd half (like it was in the 1st half), NE will have a chance at pulling off the upset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milwaukee mike Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 why would anyone want a ton of random futures this year? just take the NO on kentucky if that's the game plan the futures prices are way overpriced with kentucky as a 50/50 favorite, and way too much juice in them. duke at +1000 for example, normal year it might make sense but with a huge chalk let's assume kentucky wins half the time. duke would have to win 1 out of 5 of those "others" for the future to make sense! ain't gonna happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timely Hitting Posted March 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I bet a lot of very long futures with the expectation of hedging out of some in the elite 8 and/or Final Four. Futures are always juiced heavy - this year is no different. People always say just open parlay it, which mathematically makes sense, but with limit restrictions and the likes eventually I won't be able to go all in. I think Kentucky is overrated and overvalued. For the record, Duke was +175 last time I checked, and I am locked in at +1050. Duke wasn't +1000 when I checked last unless I am funded at the wrong books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke wasn't +1000 when I checked last unless I am funded at the wrong books. think it was +750, pretty sure that's a typo! i was just using a round number...at +750 the bet is even more horrible than at +1050 it's ok if you're taking one flier, but every additional future you bet, and every hedge you make just costs more and more juice like i said though, if you want to fade kentucky just fade kentucky without all the other monkeying around... chances are you're going to lose money even if kentucky doesn't win it by getting too cute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cee Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I'll start this off by saying I had my worst year since I started betting college basketball - ended up with a loss on the season for the first time in a long time; I noticed many had the same outcome. That said, last year I had a great year and a horrible tournament ATS - did hit the winner, saving my tournament - so maybe, this year it will be reversed and I will have a shitty season and a great tournament. I think my numbers are still pretty efficient, I just think I reacted slowly this - not making the necessary adjustments in time. For starters, I have the following futures already locked in: SMU: +5000 UNC: +1500 Duke: +1050 (Only one of these that I bet that now has value is Duke) I added the following yesterday: Iowa: +22500 Maryland: +8000 Texas: +12500 Okie State: +42500 These are the sides I played for the 1st round: Ga State +9 Texas -1 1/2 SMU -4 VCU +4 New Mexico St +10 1/2 Okie State +1 1/2 I may add more later. What do you like? What are you on? What are your thoughts? Good luck. I'm vs Timely with Baylor, hopefully i could record my 1st opposite victory ever against you I'm on Tex but everyone else is too, so worried. SMU i like but held off due to no tourney experience VCU i like but held off due to no feel on ohio st NM ST idk Okie St I'm on ORE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WMtribe17 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 The refs and some bad Northeastern turnovers saved Notre Dame from losing.

Tribe, great game by Northeastern. That little lul in the 2nd half early ended up costing them. Shocked that Georgia State is leading with Hunter having 2 points and no Harrow.

Timely Hitting Posted March 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Baylor isn't doing shit in this tournament. They don't have someone to control the basketball. 16 turnovers already.

Hunter is overrated - I don't see the quickness to play at the next level - I was a big fan of the guy last year, but he just hasn't gotten any better. It's a lot easier for him to shine when Harrow is able to drive to the hoop at will and kick it out to RJ. Without Harrow, RJ has to create his own shot and I don't think he has the talent to do that. I have always wondered why mock drafts have him going at the end of the 1st round/beginning of 2nd round when I have watched Marcus Thornton for W&M the entire season create his own shot and have a very underrated quick first step when blowing by defenders, yet isn't on any mock draft radar...

Difference is one 6'6 and the other will probably come in at about 6'3. Thornton is a tweener - he's like Osiris Eldridge when I was at ISU. Eldridge has the talent to play in the NBA, but he's 2 inches too short so he performed well in the D-League but never got a shot in the NBA. NBA isn't fond of 6'3 shooting guards.
