w-thumbs!^

I attribute my miserable start to "reading too much". Since I can't start with results and observations (very key ingredients for me), I' m using research more. Looking at verious power ratings sources to see if there's any consistency in pointing out what may be a bad line (batting ofer fwiw), reading about key players returning, key players lost, style of play, coaching yada yada yada, whatever I can find to try and become more informed.

Well, that hasn't worked very well. Here I am spending more time to become informed and losing, that sucks, that's a lose lose

So, back to what has worked for me in the past

pick teams I lean towards, research them only, see if a forum member as some valuable insight on one of the games, weed games out, see if there's 85% action one way or another which may change my mind, and top it off with good ole fashion intuition. Still don't have much observation to go on, but I'm not starting where some third party has led me. That fucking sucked

and still playing small until we can figure things out

missed the early play as well. looking good so far. I will be joining them from here on out. let's not go 5-18 again ;) you're way too good for that it's just a small sample size. you'll be above .500 before you know it

Solid value stock here with a "buy low" opportunity. Tailing you back to .500 would mean 13 games over. BOL going forward, hope you have a great season!

It's early on...you'll hit your groove eventually when UCONN gets in full swing��....BUT you can't forget the baddest team on the planet, The Wisconsin Badgers��, they'll get you DaMoney this year watch and see (and bet as well lol)

Good Luck this season but obviously tread lightly early on( I know I am)

Yours in Winners

***** 4 months plus of college basketball and the Star Spangled Banner will be played daily in college basketball. We'll have plenty of opportunities for action

now I'm fucking pissed , it's absurd how that game went into OT, then they lose by 9, UMass doesn't miss 1 FT in OT, Manhattan fouls down 7 with 3 seconds left, then after both free throws are made they don't try to score. 12 for 12 from the FT line in an OT that should never have happened, 8 for 8 in the last minute, 4 for 4 in the last 18 seconds and one stupid mother fucking foul with 3 seconds left. How many things had to go wrong to fuck me? absurd

how many times can this bullshit fucking happen in 48 hours?

that game was a gambling rape job, nothing less

no shit, and like everybody else I have to swallow these losses too, it happens. It's just that I've had several late beat downs in a very short time frame, so I had to blow off steam

it's better than breaking stuff :)

My ass hurts. I played Manhattan +8.5 they tie it up to go to OT then lose by 9 in OT!

That was insane. Despite all that happened in OT, keep in mind that all Umass had to do was inbound the ball with 2 seconds left in regulation and the game was over. Then that alley-oop inbounds with 0.8 seconds left... Just nuts.
