I’ve clawed my way out of last place ... all the way to 19!
I am at -650 so my first objective is to get back into the black. I took the over (164) in the Duke vs Wake game for 500 and I placed four additional 200 bets picking the winner of games. So I've got 1300 riding on today's action.
160 total points scored so I'm a loser. It looked like we were going to get there until both teams couldn't buy a basket the last two minutes of the game.Quote:

Bump.
We need more players!!!! :cool:
There I go betting with my heart and not my head again...took the juicy points hanging out there like a fat worm on a hook, going with the Tigers instead of the smart, sure thing bet with those that choose to defy the rules. Also, when will I learn not to go with a gut feeling on an away conference game this season?! C'mon, man, home games are easy money!
You were not the Lone Ranger. :( At least the Over hit. I've almost climbed out of the Red and into the Black. Almost.Quote:

I know Bob Green took the over. Anyone else dare to pick this one?
I went to make my picks fully intending to take the under but 116.5 was just too low for me so I went with the over. GT has played better in recent games so I hope they continue that trend tonight to push the points in game high enough to go over.Quote:

Your winning % is what is impressive. Consistency is hard. A week ago last Wednesday, I thought I made 8 good picks, went 1-7 and dropped 3250 points. :cool:Quote:

I'm still in the Red at -390 so my goal for this weekend is to win some fake dollars and get back on the positive side of the ledger. This contest is really enjoyable as it allows me to be passionate about games I normally wouldn't give a hoot about...
FSU at Virginia Tech is the definition of a toss up game so I'm going with the Hokies (I just threw up) because they are at home.
While I'm not sure Georgia Tech can actually pull off the upset in Chapel Hill, I am optimistic they can beat the spread.
The over/under numbers are not yet posted but my intention is to take a hard look at them and place bets accordingly.
28.5 is a ton of points to give to any team in ACC play. Avoiding the winner in that one. :cool:
Up to 29.5 just now. I’m still taking Duke.Quote:
