Frustrated with college hoops with teams like Kentucky, Louisville, et cetera. I know youth has to be served, especially with Wildcats, but it is getting ridiculous with the way young players view themselves, i.e., the near riot two weeks ago and comments made on live t.v., and Kentucky can score 15 to 16 points with 5 minutes left, but can't beat a hapless Auburn team past the spread of 9 at halftime, or 17 for full-game. Louisville's PG is faster than a speeding bullet, but can't shoot the rock, period. Just continually making stupid mistakes. Honestly, I wish the NBA would make it the rule that you come out of HS and apply for the NBA, or you attend college, and can't be drafted until after your junior year. Money speaks volumes to these kids, and all have visions of being great stars, and are constantly encouraged and pampered that they will be the next this or that, but can't shoot a FT. Razzle-dazzle dunking, and miss a layout. Teams like Kansas, Syracuse, Indiana will be around come the final 16, but I don't see Kentucky being there. They are physically gifted, but haplessly clueless in other aspects. Kentucky says come here and play for a champion, and these recruits believe that they are ready for the NBA because of a great coach and what is laid before them. But when you look at Kentucky draftees, what do you see? Well, Daniel Orton with the Heat....what a waste. Wall with the Wiz......young, but a bust, and maybe he might be an average NBAer in a few years. Turnover city. The man-child with Sacramento is about the only one who has produced, but one wonders if the headaches he causes are worth it. The PG kid Bledsoe with the Clips is young, and will be out of the league within 2 years.
Hansborough with Indiana stayed, expanded his came, and is producing in the NBA now, even though he is slow. But he gives 110 percent every night. I see high school teams in my travels and the "super teams" that travel all over with kids (huh) who are 19 years old, getting that extra 5th year of HS under their belt. Basketball basics have gone out the window. I gave up watching NBA years ago when tickets because ridiculous. Make a basket and pose. Bullshit. Give me team basketball and a system where kids go to college to learn, and not wait for one semester or four semesters before the name is called to go to the podium on draft night and then are out of the league with 3 years.

3 for 3. I guess Fighting Illi wanted the game more. Covered the half-times in all three games.
Tonight: Syracuse -5 Halftime Kentucky-9 Halftime Kansas - 8 Halftime BONUS: NW -+4-1/2 After Michigan's last bit game win, think a bit of a letdown. Plus, NW's Shurna is a beast.

Vandy -2 HALF-TIME BET Ohio State 4 HALF-TIME BET LaSalle - 3 HALF-TIME BET Penn covers at home against average and marginal teams. LaSalle is not average, and definitely not marginal. Vandy has its guard back. South Carolina stayed close to Kentucky, but was it the other way around. Kentucky doesn't cover in 90 percent of their games. Gets bored or whatever. Vandy won't get bored. Better killer insti8nct.
Ohio State and Sullinger, all you need to know. And their bench is coming around nicely, too.
At first glance, Illinois at home and 8-1/2. Whow, not so fast. It will be 8-1/2 plus at half-time. |

I have now received four payouts from this book. Took pay by check and even though it said 10 business, it was here in 3 days. No scam, and their CC processor is great. Never a problem with anything. I was somewhat skeptical at first, but they are a great book. I tire of the same old bullcrap with 5dimes and bodog, et cetera. You can do as you please, but for me, I'm quite happy.

Problems with sportsbooks and Payments? JustBets is your answer

Have been with JustBets now for 3 months and have had several payouts and no problems. Quick and easy. If you are like me and get tired of the same old local bookie, bounced checks from BoDog, et cetera, then go with a book that is the old VIP book, and get your itch for the pick in good hands.

I opened an acct with JustBest and have had two payouts from them already with no problems using cc: for as low at $25. I only bet parlays and it has worked out well for $5 and $6 5 pick parlays, and have done amazingly well. Was with two other books before (greek and VIP) and this is a reincarnation of VIP book. I am really happy with their lines and professionalism. Have been paid by ck (didn't bounce) and now they have WU as well. Their credit card processor is good.

agree. It's the initial payout that takes a bit. I have already had two other payouts since the one above, and it was here in 3 business days (extra to have it delivered on Sat)

I jointed GTB a few weeks ago, and it is indeed a reincarnation of VIP, which was a great book. Was skeptical at first about payouts (won quite a few parlays) and cashed out half, and within five days (they say 3 to 10 business days) I had the fedex at my door. Would recommend them based on my dealings thus far with them. Their CC Processor works.

Well, received check from FedEx today. All is well. I would recommend the book, especially since I've hit another 3 parlays and have another withdrawal coming up. I do like the book personally, and feel like the old VIP, which I really thought was a great book in and of itself.
