Title: Marquette +1.5 @ Providence (-109)
Post by: Carl on January 26, 2021, 11:15:12 PM: I am fully unqualified for this, but it would be great if one of you degenerate diehards would raise your hand and throw some "unbiased" gambling advice at us for each game. I know I'd follow

Correct, but not tonight! I'm on PC after that last stinker. It's game day and I got nothing.

Post by: BrewCity83 on January 27, 2021, 11:24:04 AM: Always bet against MU. You can't lose. If MU loses the game, you win money. If you lose the bet, at least you can be happy that MU won the game.

Of course there's that pesky issue of point spreads. But it works on games where the line is small.

I had Gonzaga -9 a few years back...game went to OT. So I was wrong.
Gonzaga won by 10 in OT.
I knew they would.

We have some solid, honest gamblers here. Dish, Buck and others.

We also have guys who wait until after the game is over to crow about what an easy “lock” a game was.

Ha! Sometimes even a blind pig finds an acorn (if pigs eat acorns). franklinjerry was with me.
This year I'm 50-50 on MU. Obviously I don't feel bad after the great, unexpected wins, but do tend to brood over losses to inferior teams. It was great during the Buzz years - the team was money in the bank.

This year you never know what you're going to see, but the trend is the Wojo usual.
