Did you watch the same game.....I would have doubled my bet on Marquette during the game......anyone that would have doubled their bet on Villanova would have been laughed at

Yes, watched the game. MU shot the lights out. Villanova shot very poorly for them as a home team. Nova should have won by 15 if both teams played more like their profile.

Sorry for your loss. I didn?t play the game as I was rooting for MU, but I know they are way overrated due to their schedule. Heck, Wisconsin has a higher rating in all the advanced ranking systems, even though their record is not what MU?s is.

The Big East is such a shitty conference this year. They will likely only get 2 teams in the tourney out of 10 teams. It is that bad of a conference.

Was watching game & would have been stupid to double on either side. It was back and forth. Learn control! Dont push what's not there. I rode a bet & feel lucky to have won!

So Marquette is up 5 and getting 5.5 with about 4 minutes to play.......I would have more than doubled my bet at that time. Marquette was the right side. Sometimes the right play doesn't win

Just had Nova -5 for game and just held. Not sure what I would have done in any other situation. Sorry once again & you will win more than you lose if you are able to bet inside 5 min. I only have locals & they suck with bets. Good luck my friend. I wish everyone much success!! :0074

I didnt really double my bet.....it was a hypothetical. Some times you cap the game right but it doesn't win. The way I judge if I capped the game right is if during the game I would be willing to double my bet if I had the opportunity to double it.

Villanova was the wrong side tonight but it won.

nova went on a 12-1 run to end the game and cover by a half point

if you had nova it was a great escape, if you had marquette it was a tough tough loss

How anyone can say Marquette is overrated is your opinion fine but I would never buy that. This is a very good team that lost on the road at very tough place to play. Howard and Theo John got in foul trouble which had an impact on game. Howard was not 100% he had a groin issue which affected his shooting and explosiveness and still was affective but could of been much better.He fell on his wrist late in game and this affected his free throw shot hes a 92% shooter. Turnovers, Villanova offensive rebounding cause John was limited and missed free throws was the difference. Marquette is a very dangerous team and will be heard from tournament time.

Like I said, Marquette was overrated. Playing in a mid major conference doesn?t help. And now they are losing to those mid majors....ouch.

Not sure what you are talking about with College Kids following line moves... How many bookmakers do you know? How many books do you talk to daily? The goal is balanced action unless they take a stand.

Ever heard of False line moves? If the books move lines they are attempting to balance action.

This concept that Vegas know more, that Vegas sets traps.. Its just old gambling wives tales... In this time of information lines are more transparent than ever. Quite Frankly most lines are set by computers... The line movement, especially in college sports, is set by pre determined standards. There is a subscription service where books can set their risk determination ahead of time... If X amount of money hits then move the line this much...
Unless you are seeing movement from Pinnacle, CRIS, The Greek which is typically sharp outlets most movements from the other books are risk related based on pre-determined calculations.


You can continue to believe their is some cryptic Vegas system where they know more and they trap you with their lines but that is absolute hogwash. Those days are gone. The systems are much different today. Adapt or die.

I am done.

Seriously "Good Stuff " Sir !!!

Did I mention that Marquette is over rated? Yes, I did before the Villanova game. Now Marquette has lost 4 straight, 3 to unranked teams. It was so obvious that they weren?t that good if you just looked at their schedule....

Marquette sucks.

Well, I did make some but not as much as I could have. Just didn?t think MU was bad enough to lose at home to Georgetown....
