Holmey's $$$$ Thread TUESDAY - Post Your BEST Play (With Writeup) - 03.01.16

Thanks, Tilting.  I have always thought that 'expectations are everything'.  If you expect a lot, the results follow.  If you expect nothing, results are poor.  I think people are understanding that if you can just go 2-0 or 3-1 on here every week and make your small contribution, then you can rely on others to do the same.  We've had a crazy-good run the last 10 days or so, so I am a little worried what happens when there is a cold spell, but we'll see!

Boom!  This is a GREAT summation of the thread:

"it's amazing what can be accomplished when no one is worried about taking the credit"

My entire plan here is to get everyone to contribute their little bit and then we can all take those pieces and build whatever we want with them.  If you post just one winner a week, and then 25 other people do the same, then that means there is PLENTY for everyone to take away to make money with.  Thanks for the post, DD......

Oy.....Washington opened at -10.5 tomorrow but I can't get a bet down anywhere on it yet.  Dammmmnnnn........

Ball St -3. And Air Force +4.5.
Air Force 3-0 at home last 3. Beat out right UNLV Boise st New Mexico and lost last road game by 1 to Fresno

Ball st -3 snd Air Force +4.5. Air Force is three a no as underdogs and one all three out right last three home games lost last road game by one point to Fresno

Holmey it is always going to be the same,once you start highlighting one particular capper for his play it leads to jealousy from the others,egos set in and everyone wants to be TOP DOG.Think just posting the record next to the name is best way,or when you used to post top consensus plays which would be the plays with the most cappers on it,but that takes a bit of time to sort through,never going to satisfy everyone.Overall I think it is a good thread with lots of good cappers and reasoning for picks,hope most keep doing what they have been but with success comes jealousy,just have to expect it.

I'm not bashing anyone, but we're here for one another, and he's getting upset for not getting recognition. There's no need for that. I'll leave it at that and stick to my picks. Great job everyone

Alrighty here goes dynamite.....i am 0-1 after a horrendous call on Duke vs Pitt

On Virginia -4' (close to $$$$ play) Marquette -3' (Bubba )

Thanks, man.  I agree.

Are you "PicNWinnas" from CBS?

The WAC is one of those conferences that never have their games open for betting for whatever reason, guessing because it's one of the worst conferences in basketball - usually their schools only appear on games that you can wager when they play someone out of conference or when the WAC tourney gets going.

Yes

Conventional wisdom would tell you to ride the Aztecs here as they are far and away the best team in the conference .. But the Lobos desperately need a win here as they have dropped 3 straight and currently sit outside the Top 4 in the conference meaning they would not get a bye in the conference tournament.

I just think the Lobos have a lot more to play for tonight than the Aztecs do, and given the home court flavor and it being senior night .. I'm taking the Lobos +1

New Mexico +1 is my $$$$ play of the day.

$$$$ Play

Virginia/Clemson Under 124

I was going to hold off from posting a money play today. I'm continuing to see the line drop everywhere so if you want this play then you have to get on it quick. I think it some places it's as low as 122.5.

When these 2 get together...points are a rarity. As it's about ball control and limiting the possessions. Oh yeah...and defense. I want to say 6 to 7 of the last 10 meetings have barely reached the 125 mark.

But possessions per game...these 2 teams are among the lowest in the NCAA when you talk about the fewest possessions per game. With Virginia ACTUALLY being THE lowest. Each team averages about 61-62 per game. Which means you have to be pretty efficient in your scoring otherwise you've got one helluva low scoring game.

After crunching more numbers, with those very little total possessions per game in mind...I've got the score right around 56-53 for both teams. Which puts it WELL under the 124 mark. And when I mean crunching...I meant actually putting in the values for 3's made, 2's made and FT's made for this game.

Mid-50 scores for both teams with nobody cracking the 60 point mark? Please put me down for this $$$$ play.

Thanks Holmey brother. GLTA.

Coming from a real OG here Holmey. Been investing in the sports arena for over twenty years , and this is one of the better threads that I've seen. I've even tailed a couple times , and won . The Bottom line here, is we are all trying to beat the Books . I enjoy covers because, there are actually some good cappers on here. Everybody keep doing thier thing and produce winners, it's good moral . I'll help out immensely when football season hits, but in the mean time, I'll post my money play, when I'm extremely confident it will hit. Don't like to play with people's money . If I post, it'll probably hit. Thanks Homey, will keep us going here man.

I have it at betonline but it is 12.5

Virginia -4 (no$$$$ wmi799 )

Good Times

$$$$ TEXAS ARLINGTON @ THE HALF BY 6 $$$$$

I'm so liking ARKASAS LITTLE ROCK and that big 15.5 spread,  INDIANA +4, and TEXAS A&M -11... 

Glad to see that some others have found some gold in the mountain west. My $$$$ play is air force + 4 over Utah state. Not only has the flyboys won their last three games at home, as pointed out by gunnslinger 12, they are 6-1 ats for their last seven . For those who look at sagerin,  recent predictors has this game as a pick em.

I just got GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS SOLO OVER 54 for the Half jump on that people
