TUESDAY HOOPS 151

well had a 3-1 day posted early   then I follow some and lose I swear  I will learn  

TUESDAY

OVER 158 N Fla/ASH these 2 played already at N Fla and Asheville beat them at N Fla 89-75 Asheville a very high scoring team and I think this game will be the same, both getting 80 I think, do favor Asheville -2 at home but the over I like here

OVER 158 1 unit

also going to go with a hotter shooting team in James Madison on the road at Wake Forest, WF struggles from the 3 points line shooting just 26% and even at home its under 30%, last 3 games its only been 21%, meanwhile on the road JM is shooting it at 36%, and they shoot overall as well away as WF does at home I'll take 8.5 pts

James Madison +8.5 1.5 pts

also I do like Lamar -3 at S Miss, I am hoping this line drops, Lamar has not beaten s.miss they have played like 5 times the last 4 years and s.miss was always favored big, and I think this will be the chance Lamar has to win, they are playing good right now, and I am sure they would want to end this losing streak, they are favored by 3, they have won 3 road games in a row and I think they are feeling it, if it does not change I will lay 3 , they should rebound better, and they are shooting better, Last 3 games they are shooting 51% and shooting the 3 at 40% and that's on the road, i am buying it down to -2 -125

Lamar -2 -125 1 unit

I am going to go ahead and bet Florida -3 vs N Car this is on a neutral court, but in N Carolina, but I just feel Florida is the better team, and they have been playing like it, Last 3 games Florida is shooting a lot better than N Carolina is , and I am just going with my gut here, this is a game that can really help Florida prove that they belong, look for a big game
Florida -3 1.5 units also OVER 166 1 unit this will be a high scoring game I think Florida will get close to 90

a lot of good games today  will have more

@RUM151

BOL to the both of us!

@RUM151

 bol today. I won on TT -27.5 yesterday but lost on GC -2.5 (those BUMS SUCKED MONKEY BALLS HOLY COW). Tagged Miracling's FH Under Mexico game, won by half like 2 points. Then i checked that everyone were on Denvers and some on Kings in NBA, i gave a shot for Kings +8.5. Not only they blew their lead but lost by 1 point. Glad i had + points on this blowing team lol. 

Also got lucky in the late night, found this live bet WNCAAB , arkansas vs hawaii , i saw their first quarter they had like a total of 7 score ... so i bet big on under 104 and won with ease. Lets get it today

@ayashifx55

 I booked for about 35 years , even worked at an offshore book for awhile, I use to tell friends wayy back in the 80's and 90's they would bet just football, then they would ask about basketball, my answer was ' make sure you get your heart checked first' ...lol  totally diff, it changes so fast, from up 10 to down 10, it is crazy how teams can be up like 20 in 2nd half and find a way to lose by 10, and how many times these games come down to 1 point of the pt spread is crazy, you have to tip your hat to the odds makers, 

Good Luck Rum!!

@RUM151

 Lamar is up to -3.5 on bet365, buying 1 point gives me -140.  I kinda like Lamar at -3.5, I see them winning by 8 to 12 points.

GL on your plays.

this drexel @ Howard game looks very even, both teams shoot well as they both are shooting 46% Drexel shoots the 3 at 35% and Howard shoots it at 38.9% which is #24 in the nation, but Drexel does defend the 3 at 28.6% which is 28th in the nation, so can they defend and get Howard to not shoot as well could be a key here, because Howard at home is shooting the 3 at 47% that is very good, Howard shoots 49% at home and Drexel also shoots 49% away, and they have won on the road a few times this year, they have won 3 of 4 road games this year, so its no wonder why they are favored here tonight by 2.5 I think Drexel will have an advantage on the boards in this game and should get some offensive boards which could lead to extra shots, away Drexel is avg 9 offensive boards a game and at home Howard is avg just 6 , and the last 3 games Howard is only avg 27 reb's a game compared to 37 for Drexel...Drexel is 4-0 ats as an away dog this year, but this is their 1st road game as a favorite, they are 2-1 ats as a favorite this year, Howard is 4-1 ats as a dog this year so this is a very tough call on this game in my opinion .....not sure what I am going to do maybe just pass on it, but just passing this info along

@leafs1789

 I think they win and cover, they should have some motivation here if the coach keeps putting it in their heads that it is time to beat these guys 

@RUM151

 i certainly did not expect kings to lose yesterday's game. I was shocked they lost by 1 point. Just like how GSW lost by 1 point to Houston rockets when leading by 10 in the last 3 mins. 

@RUM151

 more motivations than Grand canyon right? 

@RUM151

My man with the words of wisdom and experience!

RUM, a longtime ago, I was told by a very smart man when they published the basketball spreads in the sports page of the newspaper¡­.to stay on the right side. The dog¡¯s were always on the right side of how they displayed it. So, he was telling me to take the dog and I would come out better in the long run!

well when it comes to basketball, I went to Vegas when I was 19 my uncle who was a major book had friends there, I wanted to learn how to handicap, and 1st thing I was told was to stay away from major TV games, now this was way back when there was like 2-3 games on TV a day, those lines were always the sharpest, and to always look at the smaller schools, I was told there are 80 games on a wed, and if ya focused on small schools you could find the mistakes in the lines and its still true, when you have the major teams playing, N Car vs Duke  your occasional gambler will bet those, if ya stick to smaller schools there are mistakes, oddsmakers only have 48 hours to make lines, and when they have 50-100 games they will make mistakes, focus on teams most do not know, its diff today because of so many on TV or ESPN+, but I still think its true, your major games will have sharper odds, 

@ayashifx55

 I ended up following on GC wish I didn't, not following anymore, way I look at it cap the night before , and post, I stick with picks I handicap, line goes against me I usually add to it as long as the line move is not injury related, other wise its just money moving it which is just opinions, got to get back to handicapping, sometimes just gut instinct works well too, once you been handicapping these teams for weeks, you just get a feel for lines ...my opinion

@RUM151

 totally right what you say , sir. Look at when we were all on Gonzaga -3.5. They ended up losing by like 8. Its like the bookies  knew it all along. 

151 

well I have to go with Drake+2 on the road at Kansas st, Drake on the road has a +10 score margin, and they have only played one true road game, but the neutral court games were against pretty good teams also as they beat Miami, Vandy, and FAU, the true road game was a 6 pt win vs Valparaiso 66-60 and Kansas st has not played a strong schedule, and when they did play better teams they lost, they lost to St Johns away 71-88, lost to Liberty Neutral court 65-67, lost to LSU at home 65-76, and Kansas st has been off since Dec 7th and Drake since Dec 12th, and with a rest advantage Kansas st is 1-3 ats and at home Kansas st is 1-4 ats and 3-5 ats as a favorite, and Drake is 3-0 ats as a dog  , they are shooting 50% on the road , and shooting the 2 at 60% on the road   ...last 3 games Drake is giving up an avg of 59 pts and Kansas st is avg 90 a game, I think Drake keeps them in the high 60's low 70's  , Drake should win this game they are 3-0 STR up as a dog   I like that 

Drake +2  2 units 

also I might go against everyone and take S Carolina at home today, Clemson has played the stronger schedule, but this is a kind of rivalry game, and Clemson did lose their only real road game at Boise st, s.carolina shoots the ball as well as Clemson, S Car is shooting the ball 47% at home to 41% away for Clemson, they shoot the 2 at 55% at home and Clemson is shooting the 2 on the road at 46%, Rebounding looks even, S Car avg's 16 assist at home while Clemson avg's 12 on the road ....should be a very close game   will wait to decide what to do

Utah st -9  they have beaten some good teams, UCSD is not a bad team but I just think Utah st at home is really strong, again shooting 50% at home, shooting the 2 at 60% at home, and they should control the boards here also, and I have to like any teams that averages 20 assist a game at home and the visitor avg;s 9  I will lay 9 here, wish I had bet this last night when it was 8 damnit, but 9 I think should be good, I have this as a 13 pt win+  

1.5 units 

Auburns TT is like 95-96 pts , can Georgia st score 60-64 pts to get the over, or can Auburn get over 100  and Georgia st get me 56??  either way  

OVER 155 Auburn is a play at -110  1 unit  

and I do like st John's to go over 150   

3 team teaser +180   Siena+10.5/Seton Hall +12/WKY-2.5  1 unit  

@leafs1789

 Lamar is back down to -2  so we got some movement there  but to be honest rather see movement going both ways  hate when everything goes one way  

Why is Drake +2 when they have a better record...I don't get it...anyone...?

@King-Muaj

 Kansas st is at home  and are a decent team  

WOW...S Carolina did everything they could to try and let clemson steal that game, the running bank shot for a 3 to tie was insane   where was the foul  you do not let that guy shoot a 3    just glad my against the world play won, really mad about James Madison, sorry for not posting my Jax st 1st half +10.5 and +18 for game plays here, I post everything at the RX site , and I am mad for not betting Michigan state and as my write up said I did favor UNC Asheville -3 , I hit the OVER easily and said I did favor them, I should have played it, now Drake is behind  damnit , really thought I had the Jax st plays posted here

to be honest its easy to post amounts  would love to see tickets posted for some of these wild plays , , I use to always post my tickets and they were only for 100 or 200 like to see a 2 dime 3 dime ticket  , 

I have parlay of Drake +6 , W. Kentucky -2 and Utah state -5 , hope it hits.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts too
