Question for the forum regarding bracket buster games

[GOLDENGREEK]

I cant for the life of me remember but their was a significant advantage taking certain sides

Was it dogs, favs, home teams, road teams ?

Does anyone remember ?

Frankb -- you out there ?

[ravenmaniac]

If I rmember correctly dogs cashed more often than favorites but I don' have stats to back it up.

[jcheckers]

I found this at another site. You have to play all games that
fit the system, some will be gametime decisions as to if the
line/total fits the system. This takes "Deep Pockets" so
be careful...



The plays were 80-31 ATS the first 3 years 72%
Last year they went 35-19-1 ATS 64.8%
The 4 year total is now 115-50-1 ATS 69.7%

The catergories are as follows:

1) ALL TOTALS 144.5 or less are played OVER ... The exception is if it is a line of 10+ do not play!!!

So to simplify:

Play all totals of 144.5 or less to go over unless the game line is 10 or more

2) PLAY ON ALL DOGS OF 10 OR MORE (this has been 15-7)

3) PLAY ON ALL DOGS OF 1-3.5 (this has been 23-8)

4) PLAY ON ALL TEAMS THAT NORMALLY DON'T HAVE LINED GAMES ( IE. Holy Cross, Central Connecticut St., etc)

5) THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT!!! PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY!!!

Don't play this for more than you can afford to lose, PLEASE!!!! There is no guarantees here. It has been lights out for 6 years, and who knows what year 7 brings. The oddsmakers have had trouble with these games every year, and I found their weakness, it doesn't mean it will continue forever, as they are not stupid!

Last year there was 55 plays! You will have to play a ton of games to play this in its most effective manner. If you do not have the bankroll to support it, please do not try this!!! You could really get hurt! Even if you play 5/10 dollars a game, you could still win a lot, don't get greedy thinking this is a be-all-end-all, it is not!

With that said, I play this hard every year, and will again. I trust what I do, and I don't put out anything that doesn't offer value, win or lose.

Just be careful, bet responsibly, and hopefully we'll be celebrating in the end. I just see a lot getting on the bandwagon here, and its more than worth investing in, just make sure you invest properly, and don't try to hit the lottery, there will be more games to get some money, I promise.

Sorry guys, this schedule was from 2009 BracketBuster. I
realized the mistake after I posted. Some of those in bold have
had lined games this year, don't know where an acurate list
would be for this year without researching each team.

Ok, is this formula for march madness bracket contest? And the NIT contest?

[NoCashMcgraff]

No BC, bracket busters are essentially a last ditch effort for those small schools to make an impression to get into the NCAA tourny by strengthening their out of conference record. Essentially, tonight and tomorrow, all non conference games are considered bracket buster games. This has nothing to do with march madness..Again, this is a system for this weekend for NON CONFERENCE games, in conference games DO NOT APPLY.

[jcheckers]

Monte, this system is for the "Bracket Buster" games this
weekend. ESPN came up with these games several years
ago to give small conference teams one more non conference
game and a chance to get a solid win and get off the bubble
for selection into March Madness.

[tdtylert]

Monte ~~~ I believe this is for Bracketbuster weekend which starts tonight with 2 games and tomorrow will have alot more... The way I see it as there would be 4 plays possible tonight

Take OLD DO +3 and OVER 114
Over 124 On Bill Mary/Iona

the other play would be take Bill & Mary if the line would be between 1and3- which I currently see at 3- or 4

[BettorsChat]

Ok, I got it does anyone know officially what all of the plays would be then?

Ok thanks mavs.

[NoCashMcgraff]

the plays are all based on the closing lines, so some plays that appear to be plays wont be and others dont appear to be plays will be plays..it requires a lot of time, you have to keep track of all the games and essentially be at a cpu at all times..like someone else mentioned it also requires a bankroll. There are like 50+ plays typically, between today and tomorrow..
