Mr. Locks' Big Ten "Game of the year"

[MR. LOCK]

Wisconsin -145 Moneyline

Rule #1 always bet the home team in the Big Ten

Rule #2 see rule #1

Wisconsin under Bo Ryran is 66-3 @ home Winning % of 95%.

Wisconsin had a 38 game home winning streak snapped by Illinois last year. Payback is a B!tch.

Illiniois is a perimeter shooting offense. You take away the outside shooting and that leaves u with James "The Hack" Augustine. Mark my words he'll be in foul trouble by 12 minutes in the 1st half.

Alando Tucker fow UW is the real deal. He's averaging 19 points a game a long with 6 rebounds.

Conclusion: This is the end of the road for "The Crying Illini."

Good Luck

Mr. Lock

GL...like the Big Ten at home as well...especially home dogs

 

[nchiappetta]

I like Wisky at home tonight as well...but how do we explain that red flag at home vs. NDST???

I am in the middle of this one, slight lean towards the Illini+2.5 if any side in this one. The Badgers have not been consistent as of late, losing 3 of 4, with the only win vs. a sub-par PSU squad (even though that's my alma mater, they are what they are!). I would have thought -4 would be a stronger O/L clue from the linesmaker than the -2.5 that I see.

RULE NUMBER 3 (WHICH SHOULD SUPERCEDE ALL OTHERS): NEVER BET A TEAM THAT HAS LOST TO N DAKOTA ST AT HOME. ILLINI WILL BE 2-2.5 PT FAVE WHEN THIS GAME GOES OFF

Good luck mr. lock!!! u see how i dont bash u in your threads!!! Hope u kill the books tonight :mj05: :chew: :hail

Thanx. u have class.

I jumped on UW to early, it's a pick now.

 

[MR. LOCK]

U might be right with the spread but not the outcome.

I guesss we'll just wait & see.

 

[MR. LOCK]

While the Illini have struggled on the road, losing in a 10-day span to Iowa and then-No. 13 Indiana,

Wisconsin is 69-4 all-time at the Kohl Center under Ryan, and since he took over the program in the 2001-02 season the Badgers are 18-1 in home games following a road loss.

Man, I love these numbers. I can't believe the public is pounding Illinois.

I went "All In" @ 145 should have waited 4 UW pick. Hey, but at least I will be cashin'


Mr. Lock

 

[goldenmonkey]

damn, line went from -2.5 to a pick.

debating placing the bet now, or seeing if i can get some points. i'm heavy on wisky regardless...

Be careful here......not trying to talk you off at all as this trend of the home unranked favored has been decent over the years, but I haven't tracked it this year and it always went downhill after the midway point of the season. The loss the the Bisons would concern me, and this isn't the normal Wisky team we have seen in seasons past. Good Luck to you, but for those that are looking at the unranked favorite at home.......just be careful.

Mr. Lock

I feel like "Fast Eddie" Paul Newman" I can't lose. I just got th ok from the boss 2 leave early. I'm droppin 2k in my account & firing it on UW.

It's not a sure thing. Anything can happen. ie: Injury. Foul Trouble M. Tucker cold shooting.

Let the ball roll & let's see what happens. I may be right & I may be wrong but it's going to fun. I love the "Action" :em71:

 

[stwoody]

Mr. Lock-
I didn't mean to offend you and I clearly state that I'm not trying to talk you off your bet. The angle I was referring to has nothing to do with the BIG TEN. It is universal, and in past years has done very well. The unranked favorite at home against a ranked opponent. All I was saying (there are a lot of guys playing this angle) was to be careful if they are playing it for that angle. This particular angle tends to fade after the halfway point of the season. Good Luck with your play!!! I mean that, I just can't back a team that lost to S.Dakota St at home with plenty of rest and no look ahead ange.
Sounds like a big bet and I do hope you hit it!!!

Good Luck Mr. Lock

i watched wisconsin against michigan and quite honestly they are horrible they looked lost. i think the only reason this line is as low is it is wisconsin destroyed mich state at home personally i dont understand this line and when it looks too obvious i stay away good luck.

 

[blgstocks]

I dont know how you can be convinced either way on this game, ILL is playing better than almost all of us thought but Wisky has been shaky at times this season as well. Everytime I say Wisconsin in my head, I say but Ill is the better team.
Wisconsin at home is the only play i can make, especially at a pick

 

[MR. LOCK]

Mr. Lock is temporarly out of action. :bed:

I'm sorry if I cost anyone scratch :142crying

My only consolation was my prediction:

Illinois is a perimeter shooting offense. You take away the outside shooting and that leaves u with James "The Hack" Augustine. Mark my words he'll be in foul trouble by 12 minutes in the 1st half.

That being said, Bruce Weber put Agustine back in the game with two fouls & u know the rest of the story.

Wisconsin was outplayed and even more out coached by Bruce Weber.

Kudos to The Illini & their swarming defense. 8 Steals. They r a incredible quick team

Good Luck everyone

See u down the road

Mr. Lock

ps: I'm sure glad that I still have a day job.
