Day 1 was a bloodbath, but it's been all uphill since then. Just found out I will actually be in Las Vegas for the Saturday of the final four too, lol. Not a good thing though, because there for work, so will probably miss the first game altogether. Frankly, when I'm in Vegas, sitting down and watching a game is one of the last things I like to, but that's just me.

Anyhow, I played 2 plays for now. Maybe get into some deets of my thoughts/angles if I have time, but leaving town Friday, and have some stuff on my plate, so we'll see.


Terps +6.5/3.5 50/50
+250 50

- Love the Terps. Trimble still hasn't played well, but here they are. Kansas is overrated, and is usually good for a nice tourney choke job. I really think Maryland wins this game. Trimble and co handle pressure very well, and they have the size inside to match KU. The line seems fair for what's out there, But I think this ML is a joke - +250 means you only have to win 29% of the time to be profitable - I think this game is WAYYYY closer to 50/50 and thus an absolute no brainer for me.

Sooners -2.5/1.5 50/50 - Frankly, this line seems a bit suckerish, but I can't pass it. I had it pegged at 4, so I think this is a bit light. I'm a fan of the Aggies, but just think if the Sooners shoot decent it's going to be very hard for the Aggies to keep up. Seems simple, but I think Okla has the shooters that you can count on against the not so aggressive on D, Aggies. This will be a large 'public' play, so will be interesting to see what the line does. I played it early, because I didn't want to flipflop. If the Aggies find a way, I can live with it. My $$ will be on Buddy

ESPN Chalk asked some of Las Vegas' top oddsmakers where the action is coming in on the NCAA tournament's Sweet 16 games so far.

Bogdanovich: Most public action right now is the Kansas-Maryland game where the public favors Kansas. Eighty-two percent of the point-spread tickets for the game and 86 percent of the total point-spread dollars wagered are currently on the Jayhawks.


Kornegay: The public likes Kansas vs. Maryland with a 5-1 ticket count, followed by Oklahoma vs. Texas A&M (8-1 ticket count) and Villanova vs. Miami (2-1 ticket count).


Simbal: The public is really backing Oklahoma. Despite the Sooners failing to cover the spread in their first two tournament games, the public isn't shying away from their matchup against Texas A&M. The next game the public likes is Kansas, but it's not really close to Oklahoma thus far.

I admire the love for MD, but they just scare me sometimes. Are you hoping for a down game from Kansas or a great game from MD? I agree that MD has the talent to win, they just struggle to finish teams off. Every time Sulaimon touches the ball on offense I quiver. Hopefully they feed Diamond all night long and Tremble doesn't turn it over. Going to go with you here and do a ML parlay with Miami. I simply think they are better than Nova. Give me the better guards all night long. I'm a little old school that way.

Best of luck tonight!!

Yeah, I don't think Kansas has the better talent actually. I like the coaching matchup for Maryland. I love Trimble vs the overzealous Kansas guards. I like that Kansas comes in on cloud nine and Maryland is now a huge underdog. I don't think we need either a great game from Maryland or a bad game from Kansas.

Def agree on the Canes. Think they are the better team and the 4 is a gift.

The Big East LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. Has Nova beaten one good team all year!??! I don't think they have,

It's a Cane Thing...

Canes +4.5/2.5 50/50
+175/+140 50/50

Glad you agree!!

I just tried to drop a large ML parlay with my local (I'm old, I still like meeting the man every week plus I tend to bet against the crowd and he's happy to take my bets) and he wouldn't take it. Lots of MD fans where I live and he is getting clobbered with MD money, especially on the ML. He did take all the Cane money I could give him since he has lots of Nova action, which makes me like the play even more. Guess I will have to take some offshore money with the pars!
