How can all these favorites keep covering?!?!

[Chado1]

WTF...squares cleaning up like no other...I took all 4 dogs in the 2nd slate of games figuring the tide has to turn and went 1-3...



Favorites have covered like 17 of the 23 games so far WTF?!?!

[Kaptain]

NOT YET...FUCKING OT IN THE SD/UCONN GAME!!!

IF I LOSE THIS ONE I MAY JUMP OFF A BRIDGE (DRAMATIC) !!!

COME ON DEGO!!!

My theory is this:

Two or three years ago the Georgetown spread would have been 25. The Texas spread would have been 20. The UCLA spread yesterday would have been 40. Even UNC later tonight. Number 1 seed in the tournament is favored by just 25 over a team that had to beat a sub 500 team just to qualify. Years ago, not that long ago, the 1v16 involving the top ranked team was always in the high 30's. For some reason, many reasons, the spreads arent so HUGE like they used to be. Players are leaving after a year. Much more parity has drawn those 16 seeds 10 points closer spread wise in the eyes of Vegas. And the 15s 7 or 8 points closer and so on down the line. Heck, we had lower seeds favored over higher seeds. We had teams seeded ridiculously too high and low. Drake and K-State for example. Sure Im saying it after the fact, I understand that, and I am not sitting here saying I knew K-State would beat USC and by double digits no less, but I was pretty confident that they werent 5 seeds apart. And Vegas apparently agreed. Stuff like that, IMO, is part of the answer to your question.

CHADO SAID
POST # 2

St. Marys gets blown out too....San Diego next...this conference is a joke!!!!!!!!!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and now you're saying you bet San Diego......
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this is why I fail to see any validity in your Davidson "so called" pick......you didn't post it as a play, stated it as an opinion.......

Well did you change your opinion here on San Diego----surely you did.....how are we to know you didn't do the same witrh Davidson.....

you're getting worse and worse Chad......don't know what to do with you....only a "STUPE" would rationalize like that.....Geez

I don't know, but I posted SD as my biggest upset and I got them going to the sweet 16.

Too bad I didn't bet them today.

Wow...I seen they were up by 26 with like no time left...did they give up an un-contested layup at the buzzer or something what happened?

[birdog]

they were up 26 Memphis guys missed a free throw then they fouled a guy and he hits both of them with 5 sec left to make it 24 I knew I should of bought the hook

[birdog]

I played


Tenn loss

Drake loss

Uconn loss

Clemson loss

Memphis loss

all favorites I bet on and they loss today I sucked

[synch22]

I did not bet hoops all year, went up pretty nice during conference tourny time only to give it all back with Tenn and Ind. today.

Good thing i hit the casino here for $700 today after deciding today would be a good day to take off work. I will pass the rest of the tourny and enjoy it.

After 7 years of having an online account i still have not mastered discipline of walking away with winnings, only i chose to keep going and give them back.... 80% of the time.

[MtrCtyPimp]

Betting on a fav is not necessarily square......IMO a square pick is a pick that is backed by at least 65% of the public for a fav and 60% for a dog.

There are sqaure dogs such as Temple yesterday and St Joes today....

And to top this off sqaure picks have hit historically at a 48% clip....what distinguishes the best cappers are the ones who can selectively master the art of knowing when the chic choice will roll or when the ugly dog will hang tough.

And trust me folks I dont think its something anyone can master......with that said just have some fun, try and not get destroyed and hopefully make some coin along the way
