#1 Posted: 2/16/2011 12:57:09 PM YTD Total 70-49-4 (+23.81 units) Big Plays (5-2) (2+ units)
Sides: 47-31-2 Totals: 23-18-2 ML dogs: 1-1 Parlays: 2-2 Hit a Big play the other day, went 1-1 and finished up a shade over .5 units...not bad. It was luck box central that I even got there. I certainly have had my share of good ones after some tough ones earlier in the year to help even out etc. one game I like very much today is St. Bona -3. I dont see why this game isnt -4 or even -5? STL is now without Cody Ellis for the whole year and Bona is coming off 2 impressive wins (Duquesne and La Salle). Nicholson is cementing himself towards first team A-10 honors and the Bonnies are attempting to make a push for a home game in the 1st round of the conference tournament. STL has been pretty bad and they just have issues scoring. They do not defend the 3 well, so that gives a below average 3pt shooting team a prayer here. Their depth takes a hit with Ellis out, and after watching them struggle so hard against Richmond offensively, Im not sure they can just change face in a very difficult place in Olean. Many players were in foul trouble last game, and without the efforts of Evans, this team looked lost on the offensive end. The Bonnies are clicking right now. I will take them -3 in a heartbeat....STL should get killed on the glass tonight....and good luck to Loe guarding Nicholson.... St. Bonaventure -3 (2 units) couple other leans: Xavier -7 and Duq -7. Riley is most likely out for Mass, Carter is questionable. UMass' size scares me, but if both these guys dont play, I might get on, maybe not. X is roooolling. ST. Joes is going to need Hawk Hill to awake from the dead. X has had their poor effort road game alrady this year @ Charlotte. Granted, it still is 7 pts. I will see. Still need to check out some totals etc...

#3 Posted: 2/16/2011 1:10:11 PM Crus, major crowd expected at Hagan tonight for the Xavier/SJU game. I'm hearing that it'll be sold out by game time. I'm about to do a pretty detailed writeup but the game plan according to one of the SJU guards involves a combination of a 2-3 zone and a box-and-1 on Holloway. The under is most definitely worth a look as the Hawks do not want to run with X |

#5 Posted: 2/16/2011 1:19:21 PM Jfen...I do believe you are right...take a look at the Charlotte game...128 pts...controlled....slow down....thats what ST. Joes needs...I just dont have a total yet so I dont always look at them as early as I do on spreads which I have early...
good info...I do see a game 69-60 type X

#11 Posted: 2/16/2011 2:00:05 PM wayne..most places opened at 3. Lots of people buy into line movement. I am not huge on that...this doesnt mean I win my bet, I just dont see why this is -3...and I like the Bonnies to win by 5-8 pts

#15 Posted: 2/16/2011 3:54:49 PM Hey Crus,
I like the st. bonnies pick a lot, and you already touched on how you thought the line would be a few points higher...On the surface st.louis is 1-8 on the road, lost their last 5 out of 6, yet the line is only 3? Does the lower than expected line make you nervous at all? such as the
lines-makers made it low for some reason we don't know about ha. Keep up the nice work

#16 Posted: 2/16/2011 4:09:58 PM Don't like that line movement in the SLU/SBU game. I'll leave it alone and root for you. Xavier should school the young Hawks. |

#19 Posted: 2/16/2011 4:54:20 PM I dont know what to say about line movements. People have tons of reasons for why they bet what they bet. I dont really ever like line movement against me, but it doesnt change my confidence...
as far as I know everyone is healthy
