Title: Gambling advice.
Post by: marqfan22 on February 16, 2007, 03:15:50 PM
UL has only one good win all year, but unfortunately for MU, it was their last game . W Vs. Pitt

UL is 1-6 vs. RPI Top 50

Look for MU to be favored by 8-10 points and bet on MU.

The best advice relative to gambling would be don't do it. There's a reason those big beautiful casino's going up every week in in vegas have gold plated fixtures - it isn't because people are winning.

I got $20 bucks MU is favored by more like 4 or 5. In that case, take MU.

agree.

The house takes 10%. best bet is to wager with a friend for a few bucks.

I think the spread will be higher.  MU was favored by 4 @ Louisville last month.

Yeah I have gambling advice.  Don't always bet on the favored team.  So many novice gamblers bet on favored teams or not at all.  Never understood that.

LVSC Open has it at -3...reasonable. 

I wouldn't take those points Big Sky, this is a play for the favorite or staying away.

O/U is 134, btw.

MU is -2.5.

Gotta like MU. They were 4 point favorites ont he road and now they're only 2.5 points favorites...weird.

UL has had quite a bit of success since then. Couple that with MU not exactly playing their best ball at the moment. I'd be surprised if MU doesn't cover though.

I merely gave general gambling advice....not on this particular game.

The best gambling advice I can give you is the more you bet, the less you lose every time you win...

Warriors forever!

I would jump on that spread.   The built-in home court advantage for college basketball is about 3 to 4 points so this basically means Vegas deems Louisville to be a better team than Marquette.  I find that to be a joke.

Also, I don't really think this is the proper place to impart gambling device.
