    Several final fours. He's a great coach. There is no doubt about that. But "God" is a bit much. He has won one title and it was in 2000. Since then 2 programs have won 3 titles (Duke, UConn) and 2 programs have won 2 (Florida, UNC).

    That being said I think they have the easiest road to the Final Four out of the 1/2 seeds. Kansas got absolutely fucked as the number 1 overall. If UNC defends like they did in the ACC tourney I like them at 8/1 and that is kind of contradicting because after I hated on Izzo a little I know he is a better coach than Roy Williams. Carolina is just so fucking athletic. Question is can they make enough shots. Should be a great tournament.

    Izzo is GOD in March of getting teams to the final four. He's taken #7 seeds there. MSU don't play a softball non-conference schedule cause Izzo likes to challenge his kids. Unfortunately for them some of the teams they had scheduled had down years but they did beat Kansas who is the #1 team in the country.

    If you go look at balance of a lot of team stats you will see this MSU team is extremely good. Most of their struggles came when Denzel Valentine (likely to get player of the year or runner up) was out for a few weeks.

    MSU has won 9 straight and 13 of the last 14 games.

    A balanced team with great coaching is huge in March. This is one of the best and most experienced MSU teams in the Izzo era imo. This year is weird though because so many teams have a shot but their are a few elite teams and MSU is definitely one of them along with Kansas and UNC imo.

    MSU has an easy road to the final four so not punching them in at least that far will likely be a bad decision.

    Should say God in the sense that if you bet on MSU to win it all at those odds you have a pretty good chance of at least having a nice sweat deep into the tournament betting on MSU...he might not win it, but I'd bet on him to have a deep run...At 7/1 I'll take it...

    Off MSU, but Nova is VASTLY overpriced at 14/1...I follow them pretty closely...nova has a good team, but until they show consistentcy in March you need at least 20-25/1 to even consider them...

    NBA [518] TOTAL u231½-110
    (NEW ORLEANS vrs GOLDEN STATE) RISKING 550.00 TO WIN 500.00

    last minute pop to 231½ cant resist

    neither team plays defense but the Spurs are coming up. hope for some friggin control here

    I saw +1400 and was too late to throw a little something at it

    Edit
    I still don't understand why defense doesn't make Curry know he is gonna pay the price in the paint. It's like the new NFL for reasons that aren't apparant to me.

    Curry all Zen, calm & centered. Bird would be elbowing that kid in the ribs and talkin 'bout his poppa and the hooker & tranny at the Sheraton.

    For those of you looking to bet a future on a team to win the NCAA tournament. You will get way better odds, often twice as a good if you bet the moneyline on that team every game instead. Take a team like West Virginia who is a 3 seed at 25 to 1 to win it all. In their first game they are -350, will likely be -125 in their second round game. The rest of the way they will on average likely be a dog, so let's say +110 on average which is a very small dog so it might be understating it. If you bet the moneyline on all of these instead of the 25 to 1, it will come out to roughly 44 to 1. The juice is just wild on those future bets, much better to go this route

    Great info. I assume this makes it better to "get out" of your bet with profit too. Say WV makes the elite 8 but Williams breaks his ankle. No more bets, profit in your pocket
    It's hilarious that we as a society think everyone can be a dr, a lawyer, an engineer. Some people are just fucking stupid. Why can't we just accept that?

    You got fucked on this one, but allow me to suggest looking at the first half in bets like these.

    Sometimes you will get a line substantially better than half the total.

    For example, on this game, I bet Under 117.5 and easily won (total 109), even though the line at the time for the game was 230.5.

    This is especially a better thing to do when the teams are evenly matched (which admittedly they weren't here), because scoring tends to increase in the 4th quarter when the game is close, due to fouling and timeouts.

    Conversely, I avoid first half total bets if I like the over.

    Can you provide any statistical proof scoring increases in the 4th? I disagree with that assessment but will concede I could be wrong if stats prove it

    Still experiencing anal discomfort on that Warriors under loss by half point.

    Indescribable watching Warriors step aside on opponent's drives to basket in closing minutes with the big lead. Professional courtesy or just gay? It's the NBA so I'll just have to deal.

    Decided to focus on real athletic competition. Preseason baseball.

    Today I become a man. I have never made a parlay bet in my life. Joey Knish quietly passed away last night.

    There's a lotta complicated math & modeling behind this play. I am aware that on the surface it appears I have just picked the 3 favorites.

    I don't have any.

    But between the possibility of OT (which I didn't even mention in my post above) and the fact that the scoring DEFINITELY increases in the final minutes in a close game (watch any NBA game for evidence of this), I like the first half under bets WAY better than full game bets. The OT factor alone is big, though admittedly that's less of a big deal if it's likely to be a blowout.

    With the aforementioned Golden State game, my main benefit to taking the over was the fact I was getting 117 when the full game line was 230, but the way Golden State has played lately (close game against Phoenix, losing to Lakers) also made me happy I didn't have to sweat the end of the game or OT bullshit.
