I don't love the early games, but I obviously dabbled in them. Below is what I did for the 11am games... The rest will be up shortly. I love a few today. Although, yesterday started out brutal, i ended up doing VERY well on my big plays and the day didn't turn out too bad at all. You need to stay focused on these long days!! Hopefully we can get a little jolt here...

Speaking of jolts, I am nervous that all the 'Richmond got hosed' and 'Charlotte got lucky' talk has fired up Charlotte. THis line seems too high for me, so I will guess they made it to scare away St. Louis money and lay it.

ST. Louis -11.5

Indy jumped all over the Illini in Champaign. I think in the United Center with tons of fan support, and a renewed confidence, the Illini come out strong. Let's hope they can sustain. They will obviously need some Indy turnovers and some hot shooting to have a shot at keeping this one close.

Illini +6 FH and +10 smaller

Miami hasn't been too sharp in over a month now. BC seems to be clicking a bit, and Hanlan seems particularly hot. I think BC is definitely going to be able to score... so I think they keep it within the number.

BC +9 and +5 FH and over 58 FH and over 127

I don't agree with your tally. Maybe I am missing something. I didn't count moneyline plays in my record originally. But even if I do, I see...

23-10-1. no?

Check it again.

I don't mean to be a dick, but why are you even discussing your record. You don't post one. You post 80 plays, no amounts, just random things like BIG or BIGGGG or BIGGGGGGGG. None of those things mean anything. You could say you are up BIGGGG or down BIGGGG and no one would know the difference or even be able to verify that. We play a lot alike so I check your stuff every day. When you are right you play stuff that sticks to your general style, which is anti-public sharper stuff, when you start going wild with the "gut" plays it becomes time to fade (it's easy to tell because your number of plays increases drastically). This same exact thing happened last year.

Again, I'm not trying to be a jerk. You are a valuable contributor to the board. I have no idea what your personal record is and frankly don't care. You represent a fairly unique case for me as I have had great success both following and fading you (usually its one or the other). But posting on here about how you did or didn't do is irrelevant because you don't post amounts or units or anything.

I guess the only reason I am posting this is I found a little of the action in your thread yesterday to be a bit disturbing. Clearly someone who followed you got a little worked up and posted some crap, to which you responded "you didn't recommend blind following" or something to that effect. Well, when you come on the board proclaiming how great you did and how you "love March" and all of that you are going to get blind followers, whether you like it or not.

Just my two cents, not trying to bash or stir anything up. I think a record or some reasonable unit scheme might be helpful for someone who really wants to use your plays to their advantage.

i only posted that because i think Jord20 is pretty good when he's right and people use his stuff. if they do it wrong (or not in the same way he's using it), they will get killed. i am glad this was not taken the wrong way.

Do You have any insight on the UF/LSU game? I liked LSU at first but they seemed to fall apart 2nd half yesterday and now playing again with no rest. UF is finally healthy again the coach has been their ass about playing like shit. I think the last game they covered was against vandy not sure though. For some reason I have talked myself into to playing UF. Thanks

(13-30) + (23-10) + 36W - 40L that doesn't include + money on my BIGs (which I play for more) or + on ML

I actually played more plays than posted too :mj07:

I appreciate your guys opinions. I play as many games as I can in tourney time. That's what I like to do. If you guys want to post my record every day, then I am totally cool with that. Like I've said a thousand times before, I don't care what my posted record is. I can have 5k on a game or 5 hundy, and record won't take that into account. I don't post all my plays, so posted record again just doesn't mean that much to ME. If someone wants to blind follow 80 plays, that's their prerogative. I post what I play because it's fun... I like to think I help a lot, and I like to hear other people's opinions and takes on games.

I can see posting a record in Football because it's once a week. I already waste too much time posting on here, I don't need the hassle of keeping a meaningless record. Football next season... you are on. I will keep a record.

Samantha Ponder is hot... jeez.

At any rate, fade me, follow me, pick and choose, make fun of me, worship me... it's all good. What I like most is actual talk about the games though.

Best of luck

I get all this. I totally understand it is annoying to post a record. It is also not possible to post all your plays.

But, using this BIG, BIGGGG, BIGGGGGG is really not useful. You couldn't make a record from that if you tried. Is BIG 1 unit, BIGGGG 4 units, BIGGGGGG 6 units? Are they all the same? Who knows. Impossible to tell from your posts.

Good luck and thanks for taking the time to respond.

I agree. I wasn't being sarcastic when I said I appreciated the post. That's why I made a point to say not to blind follow me. Way too much action for most. I also made the point to say not to blind follow me when I went 19-1 in NBA last week. What I do is NOT good for most. I do LOVE March and I do make $$ doing this. SO, I don't see a harm in posting that. I don't think we give people enough credit around here. We are grown adults. If people were paying me to manage their money with gambling, I wouldn't be doing it like I post, and if I did, I would be fired.

All that being said, if you take my personality out of this equation, I won't have any fun here and I will stop posting. And I don't want to do that.

I posted my real money plays a few weeks ago here, but I don't want to post how much I play daily. That's why i just use regular, big, etc. Then depending on ML and teasers or even occasional pars, the units thing would sort of be made up.

I have explained this before. I max out my basketball plays at BIGG. Beyond that, it just says I like it more than the others. WIth ML, teasers, pars, etc... it isn't an exact formula.

A BIG is usually about 1/3 bigger than a regular.
