Month in Vegas for march madness

I posted this reply on another post and was asked to create a new thread and report thought the month.

I'll be following this system closely 

Oh yeah, what a badass opportunity by the way and a super nice wife you have! 

Sounds sweet, Tar Heel eyes will be watching

Got back to Las Vegas yesterday. I saw 3 ballgames at Goodyear Park where the two teams from Ohio train. There was actually a rainout one of the days. The ballpark is really nice although there is not a lot around it yet. The recession slowed down development.

I have a ticket to the Gonzaga/St.Mary game tonight at the Orleans Arena. May go over a few hours early and play some poker. They have a very nice poker room there.

My plays for today are Gonzaga  -5.5
                                  Iona  -4
                                  South Dakota St.  -8

Bol buddy 

2-1 last night with lone loss being that Iona fiasco.

Took in the Gonzaga game last night. Zags will need to step it up in order to go deep in the NCAA.

Plays for today:

Long Island  -3.5
Wyoming  -3
S. Dakota St  +1

Spend any time at the Orleans other than for the game?  I always enjoyed gambling there as the table minimums are usually respectable and I've never had an issue getting a seat.  Food there is pretty decent as well

.   

Went 3-0 last night and am off to an early start this morning. Looks like a long day at the sportsbook.

Early Picks

Providence  +3 - this should be a close game.

Syracuse -13.5  - Will be rough for Pirates to play again this afternoon after playing last night. Cuse should roll.

Both struggled early and I was in trouble from the start

Evening Picks

Houston   -11

New Mexico -8.5

Leans:  Alabama A&M - is Grambling really that bad????
            Mississippi St +6  - Is this spread too much for 2 mediocre
             teams?

I will b out there on the 21st can't wait

you mind if i crash at your condo one night this weekend?

Went 1-3 yesterday Looking for a better day today. Going to take in the games at some of the casinos on the strip today.

Early Pick

Iowa St  -1.5  Give edge to better shooting team in this one. They split during the regular season

Next 2 Games

Houston  +7  - These 2 split at home and I think 7 is too high here.

Ariz. St  +5 - Ariz St took Bruins to OT on the road. Give them the edge today in a close game.

1-1-1 for the day. Tough push with Ariz st.

Last Pick of the Day

FSU  -1   Snare leads Nols to the win.

Going to MWC games tonight, so today's pick is

Could not get online earlier but here are picks for today

St. Louis  -4

Ole Miss  -3.5

N Car - 4

MSU  +1.5

GL today

Posted on CBB forum earlier and forgot this site. 

3-1 today and 14-8-1 during conference tourneys since arriving in town.
Plan to take a few days off from basketball wagering and take in the sights of Vegas and play a little poker.  Getting my charts ready so I can begin handicapping as soon as the tourney lines come out.

GL and let the Madness begin

CJM,

What's your plan for places to watch the tourney?  Tons of viewing parties and sportsbooks and bars that have special set ups.  Any favorites or which are you checking out?

Plan to watch the games at the LVH and the Orleans. Both open up their bigger convention rooms to March Madness parties for no cost. They have plenty of big screen TV's and betting stations. They offer good deals on food and drinks. Most have drawings for prizes also during the day.

I have been going to the one at the Orleans for the last 5 years and am taking in the one at LVH for the first time but have heard good things about it.

I tend to stay away from the strip casinos.

I've been to the LVH twice for MM and once for a football weekend.  Highly recommended.  Only downside is the long betting lines, which makes half-time bets tough, but other than that, awesome set up. 

FYI, the food in the theater is ok, but walk over to the Superbook Deli.  Awesome subs, sandwiches and burgers for a fairly reasonable price for the quality.

Thanks for the info

Took yesterday off from gambling and took a nice hike in Red Rock Canyon. Would highly recommend to all Vegas visitors since it is a nice break from typical Las Vegas.

Today's Picks

Liberty  +3  - Tough to handicap this one. One is better on offense and the other on defense. Taking Liberty and the points. I like them better on the free throw line.

St. Mary  -2.5  - Close one as well but give the edge to St. Mary's offense in this one.

Kentucky  -3.5  - Look for the Cats to show some Big Blue PRIDE tonight and get the cover on the road.

GL and buckle up for a wild March Madness
