Way hot in the Tourney Thursday, so I'll go on the record for Friday.

Mainly the dogs, pick on the left:

Code: Select all

St. Austin          Syracuse         +12
N Dakota St         Kansas           +10 1/2
Portland St         Xavier           +10 1/2
Clev St             Wake             +8  1/2

Marquette           Utah St          -4 1/2
Mich St             Rbt Morris       -17

Totals:

Temple/Az St        under 124
Clev St./Wake       over 137


Purely for fun (and profit), take it with a grain of salt (to the bank.)

Mainly the dogs, pick on the left:

St. Austin Syracuse +12 44-59
N Dakota St Kansas +10 1/2 74-84
Portland St Xavier +10 1/2 59-77
Clev St Wake +8 1/2 84-69

Marquette Utah St -4 1/2 58-57
Mich St Rbt Morris -17 77-62

Totals:

Temple/Az St under 124 57+66=123
Clev St./Wake over 137 84+69=153

Overall 4 out of 8, but many of them are close calls. Hope you didn't lose any money.

Your favourites let you down a bit. I suggest you focus on betting your dogs and totals from now on.

4 and 4, v. disappointing after 5-1 Thurs. Soon as I started chirping I cooled off! Two buzzer beaters wrecked spreads, but another won for me. Shows how sharp the Vegas lines are...

You might think one would break even at 4 and 4, but it doesn't work that way. The local takes juice (vigorish) on all losses (insult to injury.) On Thur I kicked back more than that on my winnings to tip the runner. There's no free ride, baby.....

It's all just for fun, but it's interesting how compelling an obscure game can be when you've got a couple shekels on it.
