    $$$$ THREAD CONCEPT - This thread is for all of us to share our expertise with everyone else to benefit the group.

    THIS IS NOT A PICKING CONTEST!

    PLEASE make special note of this! If you have an area of expertise, please make some $$$$ choices from your area of expertise when you have a game you are confident enough in to call it a "$$$$ PLAY". The difference between a PICK and a $$$$ PLAY is that a PICK is a game you like, a $$$$ PLAY is a game that you KNOW. If you are claiming your choice is a $$$$, and you really have NO true knowledge of that game, then you are just cheating us and posting your PICK just for attention and to see your name on the board.

    RULES FOR POSTING - We will not track your $$$$ PLAY if you do not follow these rules. You are welcome to still post your PICK or card, but unless you do the things below, we won't be putting your $$$$ on the spreadsheet.

    Only one $$$$  per day and a MAXIMUM of 4 per week. 

    A week starts on Mon and ends on Sun.

    - No buying points.

    - No other "line-manipulations" like teasers, etc.

    - No parlays

    - No props

    - $$$$ PLAYS need to be -129 or lower.  Anything -130 and over, take the -1.5 goals or runs.

    - Do not try to cheat on lines. We, as a group, are all over the lines and every time someone gives a stinky spread, it is always called out. If the line is off, the $$$$ doesn't go into the spreadsheet.


    AND THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE!

    You must give an ORIGINAL explanation as to why you KNOW this $$$$ PLAY will win. And don't just "stat" us to death. Tell us about the game. DO NOT COPY YOUR WRITE-UPS! People on this thread are all over the internet and will find your plagiarism. I guarantee it. You can use Last 10, ATS, etc., numbers to support your argument, but stats from a gambling website are not an explanation.

    FOLLOW THESE RULES AND YOUR $$$$ PICK WILL GET TRACKED

    Thank you for your understanding and your help in keeping this thread for the benefit of everybody, not just a place for you to blather out random picks and toot your own horn.

    Ok i narrowed it down.  
    Hou for $$$$
    Vcu for no$$$$
    Im on fon so i will share write up when i get to my puter later.  Sleeping with the gf tonight again so no early write up lol

    Both of these teams needed the win.  Vcu to rape weak teams to hold the lead in conference play and hou is tied with someone for 2nd.  Vcu is a good cover team.  I made good money tailing them throughout the season.  Another angle is that they both raped their opp by a ton earlier in the season and now the spread is a discount.  Only thing sux is that they are playing away so while i think they will win straight up, i just hope the 6th man for the home team will not keep them competive in today's game.  

    On fon n so tedious to type this all out so lights out n goodnight

    Lock the early line for me usc homeslice.

    Hou -5.5 $$$$
    Vcu -11 no$$$$

    These are what i pushed in just now with my bookie.  Locking in early lines just in case the line moves due to more public's money on them by tip off.

    I will have full write up later today.  

    One nba play maybe coming too.  Thnx for reading

    San Diego State (-4.5) @ Wyoming

    Bounce back game after last night's debacle.  We have a surging San Diego State squad heading to Laramie on Wednesday night.  The Aztecs are the cream of the crop in a weak MWC but currently find themselves on the edge of the bubble with zero margin for error.

    SDSU is one of my sleeper teams heading into the dance...that is, if they make it in.  A major reason for the Aztecs' tenuous situation is due to an awful start in non-conference play.  That's a thing of the past as they've won 13 of 14.

    The Cowboys should have an advantage playing at altitude but have been rather non-descript at home.  They hitch their wagon to guard Josh Adams, who averages 24 ppg.  Normally this would be cause for concern but the Aztecs are 4th nationally in scoring defense. They can shut down a one man show. 

    Wyoming shoots the ball better than the Aztecs from all parts of the court but defense travels well.  Also, the Aztecs should dominate the Cowboys on the boards with Spencer, Shepherd and Cheatham having a physical advantage over the Wyoming front court.

    Bottom line...I'll take the better defensive team in a must win game - especially when that team is just flat out a better basketball team. 

    $$$$ Pick: San Diego State (-4.5)

    Thanks, Notre Dame guy!

    Just trying to create a 'teamwork atmosphere'.  Where you are here with the intentions to help, and not bang your own chest.  If you help and are good at it, you end up getting the props an respect you deserve, so nobody needs to throw around audacious claims or act like a knob.  Although I'd like more $$$$'s ideally, the results and atmosphere have been great so far, so I guess we should just keep it going in this direction!

    First play here Holmey - Been following the thread since the start and you do a top notch job managing it and putting that time in.


    $$$$ WICHITA STATE -12.5 @ LOYOLA CHICAGO


    1. This is the time when Wichita just bludgeons these lesser teams to death at the end of the year in case of the rare occasion they need the at large bid. In other words, they want to destroy the spread as much as you do.

    2. Wichita is currently the 3rd ranked defense in the NCAA.

    There are only 13 teams in all of college basketball that score less points a game than Loyola Chicago. This is a massive disparity that should cause the spread to be covered even in a worst case scenario that Wichita has an off shooting night.

    3. The last time these teams played in the final days of January, Loyola was down as much as 30 points with 6 minutes remaining in the game. 

    Wichita has won their last 3 games by an average of 31 points after allowing Northern Iowa to break their 43 game home winning streak - They will continue their angry play tonight against a bad Loyola team tonight and cover the 12.5 points easily.

    $$$$ Play ytd = 4-2.

    I had a tough time picking between 2 games for my $$$$ play but will go down to Orlando for the Cougars/Knights matchup.

    Let's start with Houston.  Big incentive tonight is that they can clinch a 1st round bye in the AAC tourny which ironically is being played at the Amway Center in Orlando. With their 2 remaining games against U Conn & Cincy respectively, this is kind of a "must" win.  Leading scorer Gray is back from an ankle injury and scored 20 pts vs Temple over the weekend. In that game, Dotson also had 20 with 6 3's & Pollard had 19 with 14 boards. That was his 3rd double-double of the season.  More incentive, a victory tonight would give the Cougars its 1st 20 win season in 3 years and make them only the 22nd team to do so in school history. In the earlier matchup 11 days ago, Houston won by 24 at home.  UCF does not get that many points for home court advantage.

    On the other hand, UCF does play well vs Houston in Orlando where they have won the last 4.  UCF does have a couple of tall drinks of water in the middle with 7'6 freshman Tacko Fall & 6'11 junior Justin McBride.  However, they shoot 30% on the season beyond the arc and Houston is one of the best D's vs the 3 point shot.  Last game, the Cougars held the Knights to 26% (6 of 23). Once again, this was only 11 days ago. Albeit they are at home, that is one tough D against the 3.

    Houston has won 6 of their last 8 while UCF has dropped 5 straight and 8 of last 9.  Home court is not that major of a factor for the Knights and has a result, I will lay the 5.5 with Houston. 

    My $$$$ play is Houston Cougars -5.5.

    As always, GLTA

    On Monday, the thread was 5-2 on $$$$'s.  Remember, I only track $$$$'s with solid writeups and that say "$$$$" prominently.  Maybe the rest of the plays and other posts weren't that great that day, but as for the trackable $$$$'s, those went 5-2.  That's a good day, IMO.

    There is something wonky going on with the Washington/OSU total.  I just bet the under at 155.  If you can get the 155, the under is going to be my $$$$ for the day.  Don't wait to bet it as I think the books are trying to get it fixed.
