Never heard of this garbage until this year, but 4 games in Las Vegas tomorrow, going to play them for the heck of it since hoops season is coming to an end.... would guess these games could be fixed as well based on where they are being played and the fact what is this tourney again??? Plus lines are moving opposite of what you would expect if you actually cap it. Sounds like a tourney to make sure peeps who lost their ass on the NCAA win on these games if they know the right people. Line moves are strange!

Oh well, sucker for the action, so playing these for the heck of it...

Old Dominion -7 for 4* vs. Tenn Tech - ODU should crush this club, but line already dropped a point. Old Dom has a legit team if they actually showup for the game... who knows with this tourney and the weird line drop.

UCSB -4 (-120) for 4* vs. Northern Illannoy - Gauchos have awesome road numbers and neutral court numbers, so why did their line drop 1.5 points? NIU has been horrid on the road... take my chances.

East Tennessee State +3 (-120) for 4* vs. La Tech - Another game where ETSU has great road numbers and neutral court while La Tech has horrid numbers... line still dropped 1.5 points.

My guess is the whales have bet these games to the point where they go opposite tomorrow what they expect and make sure to win money back before tip... see if I'm right playing early, but these games look easy capped based on my reads. Liked Oakland as well, but they are 1-7 ATS last 8 neutral site games. Think the sharks are betting the wrong side early small to be the right side late big... we'll see!

I mean if I got my head kicked in and something called the Vegas 16 in Vegas was happening and I could make sure I won as a big time gambler, wouldn't I make sure this happened? Just a weird tourney in LV meaning nothing with weird line moves and probably monster line moves about a half-hour before tip.. we'll see!

I looked at these on the board and tried to find any reason for interest. Your analysis of this whole event gave me what I was looking for. A good reason not to play any of them. I believe they all accepted this opportunity to continue as a springboard for next year or simply a small reward for the season past.

I will save my money for something I have more confidence in. Saturday I made my first and likely only bet on the NBA. Lebron called out the Cavs for their mediocre effort of late and getting beat by Brooklyn. They played the Nicks Saturday and it seemed like a perfect spot for a response. They did and I did.

Best of luck with your analysis and picks D.
