Lone Star dogs

1-1 on Sunday, 18-20, +0 units YTD ...

Getting the jump on one for tomorrow:

Tarleton State Texans +17.5: Interesting line. Cincy is coming off an embarrassing home loss to a mediocre Eastern Michigan so I do imagine they play better at home tomorrow. But they also have an eye to their huge annual rivalry game at Xavier on Friday. The Bearcats are also banged up and thin in the frontcourt. Mason transfer Jaylen Haynes (13.5 PPG last year) hasn't played yet and is out tomorrow. Star big man Baba Miller was hurt against Louisville, missed the last 2 games and sounds like he is unlikely to play tomorrow. Guard Jalen Celestine is also ?? after missing a game with an LBI, and while not a prolific scorer, he is a veteran guy with a lot of size at 6' 7', 220-pounds. Tarleton, of course coached by the one and only Billy Gillispie, has won 3 straight and 5 of their last 6. The only loss in that span was a credible 13-point loss at Baylor. I also like the fact the Texans have gone on the road and got a dominating win against a decent, veteran-laden opponent like Rice. Overall, they are 5-1 ATS, the only real blip on the radar a 96-60 loss at LSU very early in the season. Some of the veteran guys have to a man stated this is the most talented Tarleton team they have played on and believe this team will improve considerably as the season goes along. Tarleton plays two non-Div. 1 teams after this game so I imagine Billy has them playing with their hair on fire in this one. I really like Tarleton to get the cover here, and I might just sprinkle a bit on the ML at some point tomorrow. Going a season-high 1.25 units on this one.

 (that's a Texan riding a horse).

Best of luck

Tarleton State +19.5: I'm guessing Cincy got some positive injury news on Miller to push the line up though I can't find confirmation. Doesn't matter as I doubt he'll be near 100 per cent. So I am doubling down another 0.75 units on the Texans.

Incarnate Word +10.5: Thought about this at +7.5 and obviously so-called 'sharps' hit it overnight. I'll take the bait. I-Word is a sleeper pick by some experts to win the Southland and I think they come out on a mission here in first conference game against the defending champs, and their first Div. 1 home game of the season. 0.5 units.

@rangersmets

 I can't find anything official on Miller other than he is still considered a game tme decision.But like you said the line kinda indicates he might be playing

Wow. Line up to 24 now.

Good luck!

 Yep I am not liking how this is trending 

No Dior Johnson or Chris Mpaka for Tarleton State tonight. And a handful of others are out, as well. Without both Johnson and Mpaka on Friday, Texans only scored 67 points against a non-D1 foe.

I am dead in the water on this one.

Fuck.

 Quantity squared 

Wow, what a break, Sportsbook finally let me live bet when it got to halftime so I threw 1 unit on Cincy -12.5 2H. So either way it goes I will at minimum recoup most of my bet, and there is a small chance I could middle it and win both. 

Well somehow I come out +0.5 units with the Tarleton fiasco but for my record on posted plays I will only count the loss on +17.5 and the win on +19.5, and NOT the 1 unit live bet I won on Cincy 2H -12.5.

Leaving me at 19-21, -0.5 units pending the McNeese-Incarnate Word game.

Incarnate not only covers, they beat McNeese outright . Don't think McNeese is gonna walk the Southland this season with Wade gone to NC State.

Finish the day 2-1, and 20-21 YTD, amazingly at even money.

All's well that ends well I guess.

Better slate of games ahead tomorrow.

Good work RM! I caught Tarleton at +18.5 soon after you posted so walked away feeling very lucky.

@MudPhud3

Good stuff, congrats ... I got moosed on the original bet unfortunately, but everything else played out well. Learn a lesson and still make money is a good thing lol.
