Well I sure didn't expect to open up my thread today - after attending to a family emergency yesterday - and see that I have been ATTACKED by 5 trolls withwhom I've never traded words.....at least one of which is an obvious alias. 

Not sure why all the jealousy.  I just do my own thing, in my own thread, and keep to myself.  And there's a distinct gross misunderstanding apparent.   But the rule of thumb on the internet is: "Don't feed the trolls!"

LIVE ACTION BET - Tournament
WOMENS: Colorado @DUKE
Duke is the slightly better team, but playing a home game, where they are particularly strong, and down early 9 - 19 on early run.......DUKE -110 to win

Blue Devils were down by as much as 11 and have battled back to just 3.....another nailbiter coming?

@fubah2

 Fubah, what was the pregame spread?   

was Duke -7.5 at mine......that totally evaporated in the first 3 mins when they went down by 9.

Another frickin nailbiter because DUKE keeps missing open looks from close up 

@fubah2

 Thank you! I'm watching also.

With this OT loss by DUKE, my posted WOMENS bets:  45 - 23

any u like today ?  

Leaning to Ka-Boys tonight, on homecourt.

Also, will  consider the Mighty Ducks **IF and ONLY IF** at least one of their top 3 players - all out the last two games - gets reinserted into the *STARTING* lineup tonight against Badgers. The fact that Oregon won handily on homecourt against weaker foes without those three is certainly a testament to their depth.  Wisconsin is a weak roadie.  BUT...... this is a wait and see for me.....I need that extra insurance

ok   

i was leaning oregon myself    mostly because wisconsin sucks on the road especially against the better teams  and oregon looks like their ok even without those guys      next man up and all that

There's a decent chance they get back their center tonight.  Not guaranteed though.

Possibly Richardson too  (#3 scorer)

Here is a list of all his "*best bet" losers, copied as he posted them,

January 11   - SC Upstate -2.5, Rice -2.5, Missouri +4.5  (I assume -110 ea)
January 25   - Auburn -200
January 31   - Clemson -175
February 1   - Seattle -280, Lehigh -125
February 2   - Northwestern -160
February 4   - Clemson -1.5 (I assume -110)   S.Dakota -250
February 6   - Lumberjacks -175
February 7   - VCU -180, Akron -130
February 8   - Temple -130, St.Boner -275
February 9   - Radford -170, Ospreys -110
February 11 - Cyclones -270
February 17 - Broncs -275, Saints -149
February 19 - BUTLER -185
         (no posts for a full week while vacationing in Hawaii)
March 1     - Thunderbirds -192
March 5     - E.Wash -280
March 18   - Kansas -180
---------------------------------

This confirms 24 "*best bet" losers for a loss of  -43.31 units
I confirm 68  "*best bet" winners for a gain of  +68.00 units

That is a net of  +24.69 units  if we assume all his bets for only one unit.

If anyone has proof this is not accurate, please post it.
If anyone wants to review Fubah's 68 "*best bet" winners you can do that part yourself. They're all posted in this same thread.

I’m on Oregon either way teasing them with bama and houston Bol fubah 

@zircon

I didn't know you paid such close attention, but thank you.

None of those TOP 3 PLAYERS for Oregon returned tonight so I backed off as I said I would, but keeping the option open for a possible ingame bet......but right now the boxscore metrics are NOT GOOD for Oregon -- and that's aside from being down 11 - 17 nearing the !Q mark...

Cheering for ya, Kidd 

                        NIT PICKING
March 22

Blazers @COMMODORES
My ratings: #59 @#57

Tough call here, IMO. My ratings have them equal and in such cases the HOME TEAM normally/usually should have a 3 - 5 pt homecourt edge in my capping method. So I start with a probable edge to Vandy playing at home. But...what's still knawing at me is Vandy losing their top scorer/top rebounder March 01 and then another starting forward (Stute) following their conf playoff loss to TX A&M. Yes, they subsequently defeated a good but weaker opp in YALE, and then won a nailbiter against an equal opp (Michigan) - both with the benefit of homecourt, but without those 2 key players.
Personally I thought they were a bit fortunate to win by 9 over YALE, having scored 13 more from the charity stripe. Home cookin'(?) And the 1 pt win over Michigan really could have just as easily gone the other way - suggesting to me they are not better than the Wolverines - who completely dominated the boards that night. Maybe losing those starting forwards is going to catch up with them tonight against another EQUAL opp. Will their fortunes hold? Who knows. But UAB is definitely a test! They've looked very good since the end of January - albeit untested the past 2 games, winning handily against lesser opps.
Very close call here. The question about playing a second consecutive game without their 2 starting forwards and against another EQUAL opp tells me this could very plausibly be another nailbiter like that Michigan game.
Blazers expected to have all their players in the lineup. Commodores missing 2.
The NIT home teams lost both games last night.
Could easily go either way, therefore too risky for me to bet pregame. I will not be swayed just because Vandy has homecourt. I PASS.

COMING NEXT: more NIT PICKING....Cinci @UTAH VALLEY

*BEST BETS record YTD:   68 - 24   for +123.45 units*

*...if bettors had placed a mean avg of 5-units-to-win on all my *Best Bets (like several others on this forum do with their picks!) and at an avg of $1k per unit, then those bettors would be up over $123,000 after just 7 weeks of betting these.....I am not recommending anyone actually do that, but hypothetically those would be the results....Or, if you choose to grade my results as if betting just to win one-unit each pick, then a net  +24.69 units

@fubah2

Sht!! #$@%&   Had my next review typed then made the mistake of visiting another Covers page and of course when I came back my writeup had vanished ....

Starting my NIT review all over again ....sigh....... I realize maybe only 5 or 6 guys read my stuff but this is for those 5 or 6

Meanwhile, looking ahead to Thursday I am leaning just a bit  (so far) to the "Yukon Huskies"   LOL

@fubah2

 I read them!   

@jpot34

 I'm sure there's way more than 5 or 6!

@Triman2022

                 NIT PICKING
March 22

Bearcats @WOLVERINES
My ratings: #50 @#60

Close call here, IMO. My ratings have them close but with Cinci having the razor thin edge in overall team strength - which may be negated on the road. So I start with a probable tiny edge to UTAH VALLEY playing at home. Cinderella WAC team giving it their all and playing surprisingly well you have to admit! Afterall, their recent wins were impressive! 5.5 pt underdogs @NewMexico and they whup them by 14! Then 5 pt underdogs @COLORADO and beat them by 12! BOTH on the road against teams only slightly weaker than Cinci. Boxscores indicate those were not flukes! And tonight it's a HOME game! They are just playing inspired basketball, like they have something to prove to America! For that reason I am kinda leaning to the WOLVERINES here, though I might make it an early in-game bet if I do. It feels a bit like "wishful thinking" on my part and I have learned the hard way to avoid that.....

.....part 2 to come....
