I am planning on putting a G on Kentucky tom.  Team has playmakers and better defense.  Not sure why there is so much love for NC.

Its a winner bro but dont play beyond your means. One of the hardest things to learn for me was bankroll management but once I did, I no longer had to sweat games because I knew I was not playing beyond my means

Dude,

The biggest mistake I make is trying to get it all back at once.  When I keep the bet amounts reasonable, it might take me longer to get back, but it also makes your thinking clearer. 

This bet does not make sense to me.  I would take UNC or the over.  Kentucky is over-valued.  They could very easily cover, but I think the better play is on UNC.  A game like this is a toss-up, so why not take the points?

my friend, the game is +1 on my book, for UNC. I think this game is a complete TOSS up, and I dont see much VALUE in the points. I could be wrong...

lol sarcasm never ceases on this site. I'm on UNC on this one but this is definitely one of those games that could go either way.I personally think the line to have Kentucky favored is a bit of an overreaction to downing OSU. IMO, Kentucky should be getting 2-3 in this game

Would Vegas allow bettors to take home millions of dollars by betting UK and covering an easy -1  ??  You have to think outside the box here and realize that squares always bet based on the last performance and by public perception. NC is the play here guys!!!!

Yes, they will stop them more than you think....they will do it by at least 4 different ways. 1) pressuring UNC's guards to the point it takes them out of their offense and limits the touches UNC's bigs get and 2) driving to the basket on offense to get them into foul trouble and thus out of the game, 3) shutting down their fast break, and finally 4) good ole fashion 1 on 1 defense which KY has been playing fantastic the past several weeks. Good luck on your play though.

Ouch, I really don't like seeing this. Don't dig yourself a deeper hole by chasing. You gotta play within your means bro. Your putting too much stock into a game that's a toss-up. Bol man, your going to be sweating your ass off until the final buzzer.
