Duke Free Throws

[Mike McD]

This is probably the last time i ever bet on the duke blue devils. Jason Williams and Mike Dunleveys free throw shooting comes back to haunt me again. Then when i think i have it the 3 heard round the world hits and costs me a 5 team parlay. At least i had 1000 on Detroit Mercy to make it a good day.

May Duke rot in hell during the tourney

Im out

yeah, this is a reason to lay off the Devils on big spreads against decent teams IMO. You would think they'd be a great FT team. I was on BC and had written it off as a loss. Was cursing when that tool from BC chased Dunleavy down and fouled down 13 with :10 to go cuz I'da been ecstatic for a push at that point, but that big man pulled a few 3s out of his ass.

Sorry to all Duke backers, but it was nice to be on the good side of a fluky backdoor over for once.

I can relate, I had Duke in 2 750 action reverses and 7 team parlay for 100 and Pepperdine comes back and covers as the seventh team, duke blows the wad tonight. Don 't even want to the math on that turn around!!! I would have loved to cash that tivket and the a/r's with the locals.Ended up plus myself, could have been a great night for both of us!. Have made plenty w/duke in the past gotta take your lumps, tough day to happen.
Good Luck Tomorrow

Did the math 15.9k swing, lose 900 each on the action reverses and 100 on the parlay. Duke covers pick up 3k each action bet and 8k on the parlay. Ouch!! Sometimes ignorance is bliss,
shoulda, woulda don't pay!

That F**KING sucked. One of the worst beats I've ever taken on a game and of course I had a nickel on it. Unbelievable!

Sometimes referred to as Double Action.
Assuming you are playing against the spread (in Basketball or Football) with a $100 wager amount. You bet 2 teams.

Both win - win 400
1 win 1 push - win 200
1 win 1 loss - lose 120
1 loss 1 push - lose 220
both lose - lose 220

essentially, it's like taking your winnings from first team and betting it on the 2nd.

*may vary depending on book.

Are you refering to JASON WILLIAMS THE BEST BASKETBALL PLAYER IN THE NATION WITH OUT A DOUBT, BABY!!!
That will be there down fall. The most talent on any team this year and can't hit the free ones. They should go all the way most likely but if they don't it will because one team is hot and they are a little off and can't hit the free ones.

Jason Williams is usually clutch in free throws when the pressure is on looking at last years ACCs/NCAA if I recall correctly

That kinda crap happens to me all the time...I've been boned in more ways more times than anybody I've ever heard of....ridiculous...I turned it off at 70-44 and turned it back on just in time for the 3 at the buzzer...
