Although I think a better strategy is go heavy on the stuff I really think is good. So yeah, I messed up.

I am up a couple bucks tonight but that was because I went heavy on the Celtics ml.

I'd love to get the opinions of the more dedicated guys. As a stock market guy, diversification is a thing. In gambling, I almost feel you are better to weight your bets heavier towards the stuff you are more convinced will happen.

Well, went 2-1 tonight because Baylor couldn't make their last two free throws to cover the -7.5.

I hit on UNC +9.5 and Grambling -10.5 though. I will take any winning, profitable night even if it is small potatoes that I do for betting haha

[mnvikingstwins]

Had $40 on UNC +375 I wanted to hedge out when they were up 8, but stupid Bovada the line jumped 3 times before it let me confirm and then FSU ended half up 1

I lost on Baylor also. I won on UNC.

Doesn’t matter if it’s $5 or $5000.
As long as we are on the winning side

[mnvikingstwins]

$100 on Eastern Michigan TT u68.5 tonight. Hoping there's some SOTU props up but Bovada pulled all politic lines besides party and rep candidate until Iowa sorts their crap out

[CC_123]

Right now I am taking Colorado State +105 on the ML and Boise State -10. Will probably add one more bet for the night as I typically make 3 a night.

Money management is the key and it’s a field you have already excelled in.
I can’t speak for others but here’s how i play.
Each month I have a set amount of $ that I’m willing to play.
I refuse to play more than that amount and usually I break that amount into 4 weeks of play to 25% weekly.
I never use the term “House Money” - I win few games and I’m up X amount of dollars. That doesn’t mean my winnings are “House Money” and I can chase a few bets that may have not been on my radar.
I’m a firm believer in if the funds are in my account it’s my money and not house money so I should manage it and play as planned.
Never double up to make up a certain loss.
I’ve learned that the hard way, there’s always tomorrow and there’s always more games to play so if I lose a few games no need me to double or triple my play to try to make up my losses and possibly get into deeper hole.
College basketball overs are one of the dumbest bets - Yet I continue to take them lol.
Only in college basketball you’ll see teams go multiple minutes without a bucket on both sides but depending on the coach you can make up 12+ pts in final 60 seconds. Also look at the schedule and see how many National TV games these small schools have.
Last night Norfolk st vs NCCU was on CBSSN and it was Norfolk states only national tv spot of the year. Ov is 125 and score is 59-51 with 8:52 to play and I think to my self this is in the bag.
Game ends 69-63 NCCU, Norfolk doesn’t score for next 8 mins.
Lot of these small schools on their only national tv spot always do one or two things, they show up and shine or just fold under pressure.
I’m in favor of targeting these games if the spread is within 5pts and look for fouls down the stretch.
I’ve rambled on long enough so let’s get onto today’s plays.

Auburn vs Ark ov 143
CSU vs Fresno ov 142.5 - Neither team plays any defense so as long as shots fall I see the game going well over 150+

Good luck to all today.

CSU playing well lately and I took the ov last night when it opened and now it’s dropped to 138.5
Good luck to you this evening!

Wow, I might have to take a peak at the o138.5, because, like you said, neither team plays defense!

Good luck on your overs!!

[CC_123]

I added the Bucks -6.5 to my bet slip. I feel that they SHOULD beat the Pelicans by 10+ with relative ease.

[CC_123]

I also added the Blackhawks +100 on my slip. Like I said before, I don't really watch hockey, but hoping my research does me well on that one tonight. I think starting tonight, I might start to tally what my record is in the sports I am betting. See how good I really am haha

I have auburn on the moneyline. I've kissed that money goodbye

[mnvikingstwins]

$40 +150 WVU -15.5 vs ISU
$50 -120 Boston -1.5 @ Army (bought half)
$50 -105 Hartford +3 @ UMBC (no ML yet)

[CC_123]

I am 3-1 on the night. Won Bucks -6.5, Colorado St. ML, and took Duke +130 live ML. Lost on the Blackhawks ML in OT. Looking like I will lose Boise State -10, as well, but I will take the winning night.

[mnvikingstwins]

Great picks both overs covered

[CC_123]

A bigger than normal slate for me tonight. Taking all of these, $5 bets.

Clemson/Virginia o107 -110
Villanova ML +120
Creighton +2 -115
Iowa +4 -115
Wisconsin +4 -120

Could be stupid to take two road Big Ten teams, and I will probably regret it in the end, but I just feel that Minnesota struggles with Wisconsins style and I feel that Iowa is just better all the way around than Purdue. Here is to hoping for a winning night!

[CC_123]

Rough start for Iowa. I should have known better

I thought, at a minimum, it would be a close game throughout
