Yesterday's summary... I actually DID triple my account value yesterday.

Florida -5.5 - bet light, won
Pitt -7.5 - did not bet, only had in ml parlay (oh well)
UConn -3.5 - bet heavy, had in two different 4-teamers, won all
Kentucky -4 - bet heavy, had in one 4-teamer, won all
BYU +1.5 - bet heavy, had in one 4-teamer, won all
SDSU -5.5 - bet heavy, had in two different 4-teamers, won all (yes, I'll take slop, thanks)
Wisconsin -3.5 - bet heavy right before tip, won
Richmond -3.5 - bet heavy, had in two different 4-teamers, won all

Richmond, UConn, and SDSU were my strongest leans of the day. Obviously very lucky on SDSU. I had a buddy over who had significant money on Temple +6.5 and the under (which even after the 1st OT still wasn't technically a loser). I actually bet Temple +2.5 2H just to be nice so we could be less adversarial during the game. SDSU winning by 7 was the magic number where I won all.

Therefore, fade me today with CONFIDENCE:

Michigan +11.5
Wash U +4.5
George Mason +11.5
Illinois +8.5
Syracuse -4.5
VCU +9.5
Florida St +5
Arizona +6

My strongest leans right now are Michigan, Mason, and Zona... but I generally don't like anything quite as much as some of the lines yesterday. I'd like it if Washington got more like 5.5 or 6 (and they very well might closer to tip). Illinois is a team that tends to hang around. Cuse and Marquette are at two different spectrums of the the Big East. Florida State is reborn with their horse back in the fray. The one I don't even want to pick at ALL is Purdue/VCU. I think that the line is fair. I'll take the dog.

Only down with one favorite, eh?

I am on UNC at -4.5

I don't have a feel for the O/U though. I lean under, 160 seems high...

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I am semi-heavy on Washington +5 and heavier on u160.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Time to hedge 2H with UNC -3.5 and chase 2H with u85. I hate game totals.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Ouch. Another close farging loss. Damn!

Duke - 12
-----------------------------
North Carolina - L


I was leaning Michigan and changed to Duke at the last second. Lets see if it burns me.

[ice grillin you]

ff you like mich or duke?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

ff you like mich or duke?

All my leans were posted at 6am, dude. The following remain:

George Mason +11.5
Illinois +8.5 switching to KANSAS -8.5
Syracuse -4.5
VCU +9.5
Florida St +5
Arizona +6

[PhillyPhreak54]

Jeez

From a 15pt lead down to 1.

No shot to cover now. Should have stayed with Mich

farg.

Ohio State -11.5 (added Ohio State 1H -6.5 to chase the Duke loss)
----------------------------------
North Carolina - L
Duke - L

[PhillyPhreak54]

Texas -5.5

----------------------------------
North Carolina - L
Duke - L
Ohio State 1H - W

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Have the Buckeyes shot better from beyond the arc than from the free throw line?

I really have absolutely no lean on VCU/Purdue right now. I have Purdue ml in a parlay and we see how that worked out for Pitt yesterday.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I believe so. I think they're 16/23 now!

I agree on VCU/Purdue - I have been back and forth. If I do go I may take the points.

Texas looks like ass
