BIG EAST BABY EAST COAST I wasn't kidding...I took 9 moneyline dogs today...all seperatly.

I just hope to grind out a profit...I'll be watching for over/unders on games and 2nd halves as the day goes along.

I have so far...

ARIZONA +110

BAYLOR +130 (lost)

CSFULLERTON +600

GEORGEMASON +250

KANSASST +150 (won)

GEORGIA +390 (lost)

UNLV +110 (won)

KENTUCKY +230 (lost)

MARYLAND +190

I made a note to myself last season to do this throughout the NCAA tourney to see if it profits.

There are so many outright upsets...I hope it plays out. We only need a couple hits to profit a few hundred bucks.

I feel like I'm in Vegas!!!

51 inch plasma HD, booming bass...coffee in hand (soon to be something much better!!!)

Wawoweeeee!

Unless you are betting the over or under...the entire game is worthless up until the final 5 minutes.

Kentucky and Georgia looked good all game...until the ends.

Baseball, Football, Hockey...these sports can be won or lost at any time of the game with a big point outbreak...but basketball just lags until that clock is running low in the final period.

Drinking now...so that should do the trick to help "Let the DOGS out!!!"

...and something in the back of my mind (without looking into years past) tells me that the 2nd round is where more upsets take place...when teams win a game and gain confidence...what the heck...I'm gonna roll the ML dogs (that are listed) all the way.

Lance wouldnt you be winning if you took the points, how many points was Georgia getting.

They led most of the game that would suck if they didnt cover.Yeah i miss not being in Vegas betting the games.

Like the way K State is playing Lance, think they'll get you another W. Up 8 early and those Kansas teams seem to ramp it up at tournament time.

Lance, where is the Belmont bet???

It looked like a good bet...a 3pt confident team that shouldn't be scared of the NCAA tourney.

21 point spread!!! Even if Duke was up by 18 or so...they would lean toward resting their starters late, being that this will be a longish run with the maddness just starting.

They didn't have the very low nor very high spreads offered on the moneyline.

~Lance (This IS VEGAS!!!) (Just hit a Kansas St ml to the over 139.5 parlay!!! covers all morning bets!) TEQUILA!!! ...BYU made a nice comeback too!

It was the only game of the first 3 that looked good...until the freaking OT. Good thing I don't stress sports bets anymore.

I just watch and wait for the 0:00 on the clock.

I had to squeeze a quick job in, but was listening on the radio as I drove. When they said UConn player got hurt, it got more interesting!

Just with those two hits...the rest of the night is basically a freeroll.

It's called March Maddness for a reason!

I feel if you bet the favorites...you're toast.

Moneyline is risky...but so far so good.

I'm totally separating myself from the rooting interest...simply putting my money out as a test of a theory I thought about last March Maddness.

So far this year...it looks like a profitable bet to bet the dogs in the first half, and the favorites in the 2nd half.

If you did this across the board...I believe you'd be up pretty good so far this tourney.

Round three...FIGHT!

Keeping with the program except for PIT...I like them too much to bet vs. them today.

Texas A&M +550

Marquette +135

Notre Dame +120

Pittsburgh -2.5

Kansas St. +190

UNLV +13.5

WVirginia +165

Purdue +135

Keep the Maddness going!!!

~Lance

sportsbettingman · Post by **sportsbettingman** » Sun Mar 23, 2008 5:10 am

Well...those two California based teams ruined the magical maddness yesterday...freaking UCLA posers, posing after they made shots to barely beat a big dog. I hate posers. I officially will hammer vs. UCLA in their next game.

Not one to give up after a poor day at the sportsbook...RETURN THE MADDNESS on HAPPY EASTER SUNDAY!

Oklahoma +290 (I like this one)

Butler +175 (Hard to bet vs. Tenn)

Miss St. +350

Miami +270

Arkansas +600 (Dead bet vs. NoCarolina, but gotta place it)r

Davidson +190 (Georgetown is overated)

Siena +190

SanDiego +180 (Can they do it again?!!!)

I had bad vibes after placing the bets yesterday...but do not today...we'll see.

We have a bunch of sweet teams that have already won their money in previous games.

Damn nice call on Georgetown.You should have won the Butler game, that hurt.

Good luck to everyone and lets playball!

PS Didn't want to post this on the league board, and ruin the beatiful intro.

sportsbettingman · Post by **sportsbettingman** » Mon Mar 24, 2008 4:05 pm

Good Luck to you too, Kelly!

Don't worry...they'll be a whole lot more tasteful ones weekly!!!

Let's get the chatter started!

Week 0 and week 1 "outs" for me...

Salty (Laird sucks)

Smoltz (maybe a week one appearance)

Kazmir (Hope he's back in April)

Granderson (Moooove B@@@@, get out the way...)

Fields (Cheapskate Giants didn't get Crede)

I'll take all the GOOD LUCK I can get in 2008!!!

I'm ecstatic over my decisions to draft Mark Ellis and Manny Delcarmen since I now have some week zero rooting to do!

Who else on the west coast is gonna be watching baseball at 3am tomorrow morning?

Nice HR for you KJ...first one of 2008 season going to my boy Ellis.

I had my alarm set for 2:50am...but killed it once it sounded. All I missed was Jacoby's first hit of the year.

I know it's just one game...but the "closers" looked more like can openers in the boxscore.
