Can't believe the BC Wake spread was 15. Preposterous. Inconceivable.

Smuch as I loath to say it, I'm going with the Cheats tonight. I hope Clemson will do them in, so I figure if I wager on the BabyBlues, I will lose the bet and the tigers will carry it home.

I did the same thing. My first bet in this contest.

I did not touch that one with a 10-foot pole. I agree the line is insane, but I cannot decide which way it is crazy. BC is wretched, but Wake is absolutely capable of laying an egg and not covering 15 points.

Went 4-4 tonight for +900. Puts me at 10-0-1 on the season for a total of +1700.

Maybe I should have done more sports betting when I was in Vegas lol

Was just about to comment on this. Great night and great picking so far! I believe that puts you in the lead now, too.

Amazing. Meaningless BS three pointer at end of cheater game and it's a push. If the cheats had just dribbled the ball out I would've won the bet. Which is why I never bet on basketball for real.

Thanks! I can promise you that it's fools good. But I'm really loving the format of this pool.

Me, too. It's a big improvement on the Yahoo pools that my office uses for football season. In Yahoo, you can't lock in a point spread so if you take the Patriots -7 and they end up being -10 and win by 9, you lose even though you took them at 7.

Obviously, with the UNC/Clemson game tonight being a prime example, little differences in the point spread can matter. (Sorry, Dr. Rosenrosen. That's a bad beat!).

[ChillinDuke]

Nothing, and I mean nothing, like an OT loss to muck up your first bet in a tourney. Or more specifically, a missed front end with 5 ticks left.

Man I hate betting.

Bump.

Two ACC games tonight, and during the 2nd half of those two games, the lines will be released for tomorrow's batch of 5 ACC games.

Exciting stuff! (Well, if you're a degenerate.)

Whoops, wrong about this. The lines should be up soon but I wish Covers had them up NOW so the folks who just got a bad beat on Clemson +2.5 or UNC -4 can go on tilt make it up by betting tomorrow's games immediately.

Seems very weird that no O/U's are posted for today's games.

Agreed. Vegas Insider has O/U's for all the games so not sure why covers.com is lacking them.

Riding my 4-0-0 streak to start the contest, I've got 3 bets tonight. I was surprised to see Duke at -19, so I'll take GT getting those points as I don't think we've shown an ability to cover that spread; I'll be happily surprised if we do. Also have Notre Dame getting 2 at home against Louisville - that line surprises me as well given the way Louisville lost at home over the weekend. And I think Miami will continue Syracuse's woes, getting them as 1 point favorites.

Now that I've posted about my picks, they're certain to lose. It's like the Schrodinger's Cat of gambling.

Well I have the same picks (albeit slightly different spreads) as you so hopefully you're on point. I also took UVA -6.5 and NCSU pickem.

[Troublemaker]

I've emailed Covers asking for the O/U lines to be put up. Agree it's weird -- usually all the lines are up by now.

I need the O/U!! I am 4-3 picking against the spread but 6-2 on the O/U. The over/under bets are my bread and butter!

As an aside, I'm amazed at how well some of us are doing. We should go to Vegas!!

And one of them is a mortal lock... wow. Wish I could wager more than $500 on the one I lovelovelovelove!

Not all of us should go to Vegas. For the time being, I'm very happy to be playing with Monopoly money.
