OK since Im down $400, should I play all of these. I like these games alot:

Miss St. -5
E. Michigan -2
Illinois -2
Marquette -2
N. Arizona +6
Memphis -13 1/2
Richmond +12
UConn +7
Wichita St. -6
CS-Sac +6 1/2

Any advice would be great. I am just wanting to collect this week for once. I've been in a slump as of late with NBA and NFL picks.

Thanks again

On the course!
I guess it would matter how much you bet a game.


  • Can you pay the $400?
  • Are you comfortable in knowing that you could lose every game tonight?
  • Can you pay if every game loses?
  • Do you really like all those games?

We could go on forever, but you see the point, I am sure.

Honestly, I'd consider betting the other side of EVERY pick you have listed. . . but that's just me.

Others will probably try and figure out my logic here given that I am on Miss St. tonight, but all of those plays below look like picks that one would make in order to try and chase because they look like easy winners.

You should never bet games just because you are down money. . . you'll just end up losing more!

One of the GOLDEN RULES of MM. When on a losing streak cut back. Plays, $$$, or both.

Ok so now what.....

Ok so now what.....

Yes I can pay the amount and I usually play for 50 cents or a dollar a game. So none of these look good at all. Crap -- I dont like the sign of this tonight. You guys are the experts here, I am just trying to have a little fun with this and win some cash.

My top picks of the above are:

Illinois - stronger all around team
E. Michigan
N Arizona
Wichita St. -- Indiana St. has played horrible on the road this year.
CS- Sac - pretty good shooting team here

and maybe adding

OU -- reading into this more -- think they are the better team

If there is a gem(s) out there, I would just jump on both of them for a dollar or 2 each.

Thanks

Re: Ok so now what.....

First of all you mean a hundred dollars or two hundred dollars right? just checking , ok,

2 big play s and good play s seem to be
tenn chat
and
Memphis, (dont settle with memphis -13, get them at -9) should be a blow out, but 4 points is 4 points, good luck

No....he bets $50-$100 a game.

If you like all the games you listed, play them!

The only concern I have, is that you can pay if they lose. Since you stated that you can......do what you feel is best.

Ok thanks

Ok thanks

I will probably just play Tenn Chatt (if you guys really feel like this is a winner) at $200 and Memphis for $100. Hopefully I will be in good shape.

Tempted to play just 3 more at $50 each just to see what might come of it.

Opinions still welcome.

Thanks

Put the 3 extras you like in a parlay for $20. If it loses no biggie-you saved. If it hits-decent money and you don't have that bad feeling you shoulda played them.
