March Madness!
Now, I'm not saying that North Carolina is not capable of winning it, cause they are.
Hansbrough is a superstar, no doubt.
All I'm saying is that its a long road till the final, and given minor details that could occur within any given game, should this man, miss time ...even a little time, the rest of the team is not capable of competing at this level.
So, the #1favorite: North Carolina, is a no bet.
As I said before in this thread, Duke is not capable oif consistently hitting those % in long range shots.
Although Duke is capable of making the semi's, I would not bet on them beyond that point, so Duke is also a no bet.
UCLA? Are you kidding me? How on earth can this team win it? No bet.
Kansas!!! Now there's a team that can win it! Georgetown may prove to be great obstacles on Kansas's way to the finals. but...
Bet on Kansas = 6.00
Memphis, although not the best team, are a good bet, as they should take the south pretty easily as there are no competitive teams within.
Bet a bit on Memphis = 6.50
Tennessee deserves mentioning from this point on.
Bet a bit on Tennessee = 13.00
Indiana, although having N.Carolina as their opponents early on, are an amazing bet at that price as they are capable of beating the best of them!
Bet on Indiana = 81.00

You ever do bets on NASCAR?

I bet there are more wifebeaters than teeth in attendance.

I got this huge 4.50 win earlier today on San Diego's win over U-Conn.
A Quarter of that money, runs through Indiana's win over Arkansas tonight.
Another quarter is on Calathes and Nivins taking out Oklahoma (already started).
The other 2 quarters are on 2.00 (2/1) shots...Ducks over Sharks, and Wild over the Canucks in Vancouver.

Its too late to give Duke, but they should get a win, and I did manage to wager on them with that tiny 3.5 spread.

Kansas St. - Wisconsin(-4.5)

For this game to be close, Wisconsin's gotta have a really bad game, but even in that case, they should advance.

Bet on Wisconsin

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Notre Dame - Washington St.(-2.5)

Now I know how vulnerable Washington State can be, so this is a pretty tricky bet.
Notre Dame is clearly inferior, so if the Cougars don't shoot themselves in the foot, they should get by these mediocre Irish.

Bet on Washington St.

UNLV - Kansas(-12.5)

No suprises here.....

Bet on Kansas

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Texas A&M - UCLA(-10.5)

UCLA's really not that good, Texas A&M will look a lot better than the Bruins last opponent....
This one should be determined at the end of the 2nd half.
A nice 10.5 point pillow, makes this a good bet....

Bet on Texas A&M

San Diego - West. Kentucky (-5.5)

San Diego is the superior team here.
The 5.5 spread is so wrong.

Huge differences here.
Tennessee should advance pretty easily

Don't let Jim pick horses for you !!!!

Funny you should mention that.
I've actually won a tricast in a race that paid $86.000 on the $1.

EURO 2008


Group A

The Czech Rep. has proven time and time again to be superior to Portugal.
Now I'm not putting anything past the Swiss and Turkey,
but the Czech's are clearly the best team in the group.

Bet on the Czech Rep. = 3.00

Group B

If Germany is not gonna win this group, it'll be Poland that does.
You gotta love that price....

Bet on Poland = 9.00

Group C

The group of death brings together the 3 best teams in the world.
Italy and holland are my choices over France.

Bet on Italy = 2.50
Bet on Holland = 3.40

Group D

Sweden is easily the superior team here.
The Spaniards will always have tha Basque situation disrupting the harmony of the national team, where the Greeks and Russians are leagues inferior to the Scandinavians.

Bet on Sweden = 5.00

Bet on Italy = 8.00 / 4.00

West Virginia(-1.5) - Xavier

Knocking out this years Duke wasn't that big of a thing.
West Virginia is not suddenly a force.
Xavier is superior, and should progress here.

Bet on Xavier

Louisville(-2.5) - Tennessee

Tennessee seems capable of taking out N.Carolina in the next round.
Louisville is certainly not going to be easy, but they should win it.

Stanford holds some very impressive tools.
They should be the story of this game.

Villanova - Kansas(-11.5)

I'm not underestimating Villanova.
Kansas is simply superb.

Michigan St. - Memphis(-5.5)

Memphis is far from being a superteam, but Michigan State is far from being worthy of participating in the next round.

NBA

Over the weekend we have some very interesting games.
Golden State, Dallas and Denver are fighting for the 2 final play-off spots in the Western Conference.
Golden State play in Denver on Saturday and then host Dallas on Sunday.
The way the Warriors have been playing of late, i would not be suprised if they won both games.
If you have access to NBA wagering, take the Warriors on the spread in both games.

50% in college hoops is not like me.
I'm quite optimistic about todays games though....

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Xavier - UCLA(-6.5)

The only way to explain this spread is people's perception.
On the court Xavier is clearly superior to UCLA and should be the favorite by 6.5 points. This is a no brainer....

Bet on Xavier

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Lousiville - North Carolina(-5.5)

Louisville was very impressive against Tennessee, but they are not equipped to handle Hansbrough.
I expected a double digit spread here, so this is like a gift.

Golden State Warriors @ Denver Nuggets(-6.5)

Huge differences in this one.
The Warriors will win this extremely important game....

Bet on the Warriors

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I am so upset for the Warriors who lost against Denver.
I'm still extremely optimistic that this team, not only will make the play-offs, but also will advance further more, if of course, they can avoid the Lakers.

I also did not expect UCLA to reach this far, thats for sure.
Yes, of course it was a weak bracket.
Maybe it was a mistake to reach in that bracket when we had Kansas to ride on. I've actually made money on the NCAA, as the amounts wagered have in fact mainly been on Kansas.
They have of course, won out, and beaten every spread.
My original Bet on Kansas = 6.00 to win it all, is basically the main factor for this remaining tournament.
I will in fact make a great profit should Kansas prove me to be correct.
