Big Ten Record YTD
24-8-2:)

OK getting started early today on capping, already having NBA withdraws!! Olympic already has lines up so what the heck here goes!

Michigan -5 3x

Iowa is playing at Michigan after 2 straight losses AT HOME!! This team has no confidence what so ever at this point, I rate them just barely above Penn State and just barely below Indiana. #1 Play of the Day!

Northwestern +7.5 2x

Yes Wisc. is a great team, and they will prob. win, but not covering 7.5 points!! Michigan only won by 7 pts at Northwestern and Michigan is much better than them. Take the points!!

Minnesota PK 2x

Purdue is a great team! Prob. will win the Big Ten!! But on the road especially at Minny is almost impossible for anybody. Again using Michigan as a judgement stone here, Michigan lost by 7 at Minny. Michigan and Purdue are pretty even Teams! Take Minny at home!!

Michigan State +4 2x

This game ought to be a pickum after Indiana losing 4 straight road games in a row!!! Before their road trip IU was winning at home by astounding 13.25 ppg. But I would be surprised if they win this game at all! Indiana has completely fallen apart, no confidence whatsoever and they are due to lose at home, thinking this will be the week!! If IU does somehow win it will be by a bucket, no more!!

Guys I will post the actual lines I use in the morning!
Good Luck to all of you!!
Boiler and Ddubs I know u r on Purdue at Minny, don't bet with your heart on it. Minny is almost impossible to win at in that ole barn, with that court up off of ground.

Catch u Manana! Countinguy:) :)

can you explain "buying the hook"...........does that mean your +5 pays $1.87 , $1.83 ??????

I know +4.5 would pay $1.91......so when ya "buy the hook" how much does it cost??


(books I use don't allow you to "buy"........just curious that's all?)

I don't know how to explain in your dollars sense, but it takes it from -110 to -120. Hopefully that makes sense. Just can't stand to lose by a 1/2 pts on underdogs, and it seems to happen to me a lot, so not taking any chances.
Carib lets u buy pts, that is the only book I have that does that.

GL!:)

MINN MIGHT BE MY FAVORITE PLAY ON BOARD BUT.............

QUESTION:

I WAS LOOKING AT INDIANA.....I KNOW THEY HAVE SUCKED, MOSTLY ON ROAD BUT.......MICH ST IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE ON THE ROAD, HAVE GOTTEN THEIR ASSES SLAMMED ON THE ROAD.

MCST HAS WON 3 OUT OF LAST 4 BUT ALL OF THEM AT HOME. I WAS THINKING IND MIGHT BOUNCE BACK AFTER LOSING TO MICH ST BY ONLY 5 OR 6 AT MCHST. WHAT IS YOUR LOGIC FOR PICKING MICH ST WHEN THEY R SO BAD ON THE ROAD.


THANKS.

WIZZ.

Wizz,

I am going to admit up front that Michigan State is my weakest play of the day. That is why I bought the 1/2 pt on it. I just do not have any faith whatsoever in Indiana after watching that last game when they lost to Northwestern, a team that was 0-7 in the big ten til then. Also that Louisville game Indiana had, they were in the game w/3mins left and then lost the game by 19 pts, that is ridiculous. I know that it was the road, but I am from indiana been watching IU games since I was knee high and seriously I don't ever remember them losing 4 straight games in a row. Something bad has happened to Indiana since that game where they played KY at Louisville and Mike Davis got all those T's, still remember that fiasco well! Their is a lotta of pressure on Mike Davis in Bloomington right now for a win, and I just don't think he is a Bobby Knight and never will be. I think they will either win by a bucket or lose by 10, but that is my opinion. Oh something else, did u see any of the IU/Penn State game, it actually looked like Penn State had a chance in that game, pretty scary!!

Now as far as Michigan State goes, I really like them just because they played Michigan very tough at Michigan, which was their last road game, losing only by 2. Michigan State has very good leadership, Izzo is one of the top coaches in the Big Ten, I would prob. rank him right below Keady right now!

GL Wiz whichever u go, ur a great capper!:)

Big10 Guru: Won't have any money on the game, but you know who I'm rooting for;) :D. Agree with you it's gonna be real tough to win the game for the Boilers.

On board with you on the Wolverines, though. I don't think this will be close. Amaker is doing a GREAT job.

Good luck today, hope you go 3-1;) :D
