Tuesday plays

[Nickelback]

Two plays:


Arizona 1st half ML +120 above average
Arizona game ML +130 above average

My largest plays combined so far this year. . . of course the year is early and thiss will not be as close to the amounts I lay down on system plays. I posted my reasoning under kevinmac99's thread and honestly don't feel like rehashing.

Gl! Might be my only play but we'll see. . .

Hey Nickel, I know I followed most of ur picks last year and did great. Hope this year is no different. Good luck tonight.

Forget the points, I'm playing the MLs for the first half and game on Arizona.

One point I didn't make under kevin's thread:

Arizona has done quite well at Madison Square Garden in years past. . .

Best of luck to everyone

 

[Scott4USC]

Arizona is 8-0 @ Madison Square Garden and Arizona is 7-0 against Texas.

FIGHT ON!!!!!

 

[THE WIZZARD]

gl tonight my friend.

wizz.

 

[NY Reb]

We are definitely among the minority tonight. Best of luck to you, friend.

 

[buckeye fan]

nickel: are u at all worried that Zona may wear down/foul out in the 2nd half? Do the announcers have any validity there? just wanted your input.
thanks

 

[Nickelback]

Well, I'll take that first half victory

Assures me that I come out a winner on the +20 juice no matter what.

To all Texas backers:

Your team is damn good. . . I'll admit. But I love how Arizona keeps fighting even though they don't have the depth. Will Arizona wear down the 2nd half? Based on conditioning, no. . . no chance. But if Andre and Hassan get in foul trouble, we could be in trouble.

Buckeye,

I was concerned about Arizona possibly fouling out with Frye, Adams, Igudola but each only has 2. I just don't know what to do here. . . Arizona could lose this one because Texas is so deep and talented. I think I'll sit back and watch.

Gl all!

 

[Nickelback]

One sign of hope is Arizona's defense has held Texas to 32% shooting. . . their big guys have been able to somewhat handle the big men of Texas.

Should be a great 2nd half. . .

 

[tendog]

thanks for your expertise can you explain what the system plays are? or perhaps it has been posted previously thanks again

 

[Nickelback]

Good question tendog:

The best system play that I follow and cash in every year is:

Play an unranked home favorite over a ranked road dog.

Reason is that Vegas knows better than those who vote in the polls. . . the larger the favorite, the larger the play.

Off to a great start after this past Saturday and a huge win tonight. . . looking forward to the rest of the season!

solid job nickel. nice win for you

 

[RexBudler]

Congrats nickel.....nice call

 

[USC Gamecock]

Great call Nickel.

 

[Nickelback]

Thanks guys. . .while this was a part homer play because I know this team, it was actually based on two factors that stood out to me:

1. Arizona won a tough road game against St. Louis yet the public took it the other way.


2. Texas was nearly a 70% consensus selection yet they hadn't played anybody this year and they hadn't played a road game!


The fact that Arizona was perfect at MSG and against Texas the last seven (now eight) years was just more icing on the cake. It was a great situation to play any team but nice for me since the Cats are my team.

Regarding Texas and their backers: The Horns looked very good to me. . . they are the perfect team to take in the tournament this year. I feel they are ahead of Arizona as far as the Big Dance goes because they have great depth but we'll just see what happens. Kansas went far last year without a lot of depth so maybe my Cats can do the same.
