BANKER Investment Bets: B-BALL Action Day 5 (4-5, -2.1 units)

[Banker]

DAY 5

Our two investment plays go awry last night as the Knicks falter at home and Marquette falls on the road (that's why I don't really like investing on college teams on the road, but we'll take a shot here and again). In any case, we look to have a big score today, as Saturdays present a wide range of investment opportunities to grow the BANKROLL. Hopefully the upset bug has played itself out throughout the week already.

Good luck, but I personally don't think you have a chance of being successful with this.... there are too many upsets in college b-ball. A 9 point favorite loses every day..... I admit I have done a small parlay before and thrown in a ML or two on some favorites that I was scared wouldn't cover the #, but would win, but basing all of your plays on this is tough... but, hope it works for you.

BOL!

Thanks for the comments GW. I agree, upsets do happen, less so in college than pros, and less so in football that hoops. In hoops, you only need one of 5 players on the floor to get hot to pull off the upset.

That being said, I do feel there is a potential profit zone where we can find success, given the big advantage home court plays, and the compound profit potential of the parlay. Will it win every time, of course not, but I think if we can put together a series of small advantages, we can be profitable over the long term, which is the goal afterall.

***large play***

With the moneyline markets all open, and the NBA markets up, we string together one more LARGE investment for the evening, which will make or break the night. Let's have some fun tonight.

***LARGE PLAY***
BANKER BET #16
Risking 10 units / 10.39 units

Northeastern -3500
North Carolina -7000
Michigan State -4000
Connecticut -2400
Davidson -1800
San Diego State -2400
Atlanta (NBA) -360
Houston (NBA) -330

This investment essentially hinges on the two NBA plays, which I believe should hold strong at home tonight. To round out the bet, we string together a set of heavy college favorites, which should (in theory) have no trouble with the outright win.

Good Luck to all, and let's bring this one home!

West Kentucky -320 WINNER
Miss State -345 WINNER
Eastern Illinois -1400
Utah State -2200

Miss State plays light out in the second half to secure the win. Investment #11 looking excellent at this point as we have some big favorites to close out the investment. Let's keep it up!

Texas A&M -150 LOSER
Clemson -600
Eastern Illinois -1400

We lose one investment as Texas A&M falls at home. They had a their chances but could just not get over the hump. But still up on the day with multiple investments pending during the evening action. Let's finish up STRONG!
