Without Ohio State's 2 natty's in football (starting with that bs call against Miami) they'd only have Michigan to bank on since 1997. Painter is as good of a coach as Purdue is going to get. Indiana beat Purdue twice. Big deal right? Gotta like Miami +2 tomorrow? Kent St missed so many bunny's yesterday. Had zero bigs to stop Trace Jackson and Indiana should bounce after their deceiving win? With that said can we depend on Miami. Miami solid. Good coach. Played Duke very tough. Don't understand how they lose to FSU after being up by 25. Had a very deep run last year. Elite 8 I believe. I'm taking Miami +2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kid is legit, but the rest of the candy canes aren’t all that great. I saw UNC against both (Indiana no Bacot) and was more impressed with Miami. Their bigs are MEN down low. You better have some bigs with real strength and bulk to back them down on offense or hold your own on defense. Bacot couldn’t do it vs them. 12 pts and 4 rebounds. About 8 rebounds below his season average when he played 33 minutes that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elihu started laughing it off quickly. Fezzik apologized. Elihu is one of the smartest guys in the gambling world. Funny to see all the Johnny come latelys trying to dunk on him.

THAT is the team you're gonna lay -4500 on? and look up the history of 1/2 seeds that were unranked in the preseason, their average tourney wins are something like 1.5 and never past the elite 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HinesWard86 Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Yeah, I had Purdue going out in the second round because of the freshmen guards that had gotten worse over the course of the year. I'm sure they based a lot of the bet on history. No. 16 seeds are still just 2-150 against No. 1 seeds (likely justifying the bet to a degree in their minds), but there was a reason Purdue was -5000. I saw some of the same rationale among people backing Arizona ML at -1200 on Thursday. I think the better bet was Pizzola taking All No. 1 seeds to win at -750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out that UNC game and what I’m talking about with their bigs. Bacot couldn’t move or hold them and he’s pretty strong in his own regard.

The fact the he wrote a book period shows me that he’s an attention whore, a total idiot not thinking about the big picture, or both. I’ve yet to meet anybody that did this for a living that would want to educate and teach people how to build models, scrape data from Pinny, etc etc advise on weak markets and strep by step what they do and create more competition in markets they’re specializing in. J7 was always an attention whore. He got really pissed when Thremp trashed his book (not that bad really) on Amazon and had to create a thread over it.
