#1 Posted: 3/22/2012 3:49:20 PM I made a decision to take Syracuse +6 tonight against the Badgers. I think Syracuse will find a way to win and move on tonight but just in case this 1st ranked 52.9 OPPG the Badgers own comes to life and they shoot a high percentage I will take the points for a somewhat cushion. I personally cannot see the Orange losing by this much. Opinions?? |

#5 Posted: 3/22/2012 3:55:56 PM While I agree that Syracuse will not lose by more than 6 points, you're laying what, close to -400 juice? If you think Syracuse wins the game, why not take the ML? |

You're probably right...but buying 9 points and probably at about -800 is never very good money management....we all want as many points as we can get...but at what price?

#8 Posted: 3/22/2012 4:00:19 PM BravesFan1984 for some reason I lose everytimeI take a low spread that is favored and they wind up losing the game by a small number between 2 and 4. I took Memphis over St. Louis and they lost by 7 but was favored to win SU. |

#9 Posted: 3/22/2012 4:02:57 PM I understand what you guys are saying and I agree 100% but my gut told me this is gonna be a close game and might even come down to free throws. |

#12 Posted: 3/22/2012 4:09:07 PM You may have a point KartierEnt. Betting against Cuse would be a huge mistake on my end even with Melo out. |

#18 Posted: 3/22/2012 4:35:37 PM I orginally picked +13 for the Badgers but I decided not to bet against Cuse all together even though I do not think they will win by 13 or more. I made my pick off of the experience I have had with spreads and the way they set up these points for big games like this. |

#22 Posted: 3/22/2012 5:31:58 PM I will buy 1 PT max every now and the when I get that "gut feeling" but 9........Remember juice is the enemy.......Juice is why a lot of people on this board have a real job....If it wasnt for juice a lot of good cappers could do this for a living. How much did the 9 points cost you?...................Also think about a 10 point 3 team teaser if you have not already made the bet. BOL Kid

#25 Posted: 3/22/2012 6:11:48 PM This is the most absurd thread ever. Why would you post a pick buying 9 points?
