yes on these two particular games.
and most games i guess.
it's really the only way to judge how good the teams are i think.
yea the whole A beat B who lost to C is ok, but that is only part. matchups determine those more than anything.
it's really hard to judge someone by the way they cap games from a few comments here and there. seems like a lot gets taken out of context here. not to say you are taking anything out of context, but well i think you know what i mean.
i would say 75% goes by numbers in my book, with ratings and such.
then the other 25% goes by what i have seen myself and my judgement of basketball. which cannot be measured by any scale.
sometimes i just see a line and i like it, or i pick the winners or write down a score of a game and wait for the lines.
i thought this game duke would be favored by 3 or more, and i was thinking to myself if they would cover or not, then the line came out and they were etting points, well i need to say no more.
plus all the mathematical numbers add up to taking duke.
but if duke would of been favored, then i might of had a small play on uconn, depending on the line.
there is such a fine line with these games, it's just so hard to figure out. i will take anything above 60% at this time of year.
that's why a goy comes about so much because the ine is so tight, there are less games, and i feel i have a huge advantage in my system.
you being from that area i can see why you like uconn, you have watched them all year, and have a great feel for that team, while i'm just punching numbers that i hope are correct.
a small note, this system using conf ratings and such works outstanding in pro football. the last years in the playoffs i was 13-3.
7-0 2 years ago.
