Rx WSOP team- Play #3??

GreenDoberman · Jan 24, 2005

Proposing Okla -1 okie st tonight.

Sooners have proven they can beat and dominate top notch teams at home with wins over UConn and Texas. Only two losses have been to legitimate top 10, possibly 5, teams Duke and Washington, both on road.

Okla. St. looked dominate early in season, but closer look at schedule reveals some suspects. Blown out at Texas and loss to quality opponent Gonzaga.

Coupled with big rivalry, toss up in coaching matchups (I'm a big fan of Sampson), and possibly overrated perception of Cowboys and underrated perception of Sooners, this looks like a play.

Any thoughts?

I like it, kid. I should have posted Bradley the other night. +1 at home was as strong a play as you'll find. They are unreal at home. I like Oklahoma a lot tonight at -1.

"Kid", haha, thanks Illini.

Yeah, I was thinking about that Bradley play too and was waiting for you to chime in as you are our MVC expert.

Anyway, look at the Sooners Def FG % and 3pt % def at home. The Pokes are a team that relies on defense to get things going and I can see a real ugly game here.

Outside of last year (when the Sooners were down, mostly because of Bookout's injury), OU has won 3 in a row at home. I don't see any reason they won't make it four. This is a legit top 10 team and very underrated.

I'll wait for some other to chime in before placing the WSOP funds on it, but I'm making a bet for myself as well. Win or lose, I like the play. :suomi:

I like it. I have no problems with this.

GreenDoberman · Jan 24, 2005

Bump

Waiting for a few more opinions.

Illini · Jan 24, 2005

There's fade material on Okie St. Makes me like it that much more.

WorldNumberOne · Jan 24, 2005

hit it

steeser · Jan 24, 2005

So are we making this the official third play?

viking611 · Jan 24, 2005

Isn't there like 10 or so people that all have to agree on the picks?? Just curious. I thought there was quite a few trying this.

Illini · Jan 24, 2005

Believe that peteep, hitman, and Darryl are the only ones that haven't replied yet. We've got 5 hours.

peteep · Jan 24, 2005

I'm ready to confirm to bet when you are.

GreenDoberman · Jan 24, 2005

Sooners now -1, -102 at Pinny, time to pull the trigger.

Illini · Jan 24, 2005

Just got down a sizeable wager at -1 -101 at Pinnacle. Go Sooners!

Hitman26 · Jan 24, 2005

Looks good to me. If no one objects before two hours before tip off, I will consider it offical.

GreenDoberman · Jan 24, 2005

I'm ALL IN!

Illini · Jan 24, 2005

I like this pick, Dober. Even if it loses, I feel good right now. Might need a six-pack or two to get through the game, but I think we hit this one. Good luck everyone. I kind of wish I would have taken the ML, but that juice would have eaten into my payout, and I would have had to stay at IP instead of Caesar's Palace.

Hitman26 · Jan 24, 2005

Ok guys I'm stamping it offical now before the line starts moving against us it's already up to -103.

Goodluck boys

Best of luck guys! I will be on the sidelines rooting you on. I wish I would have gotten in when you started, but I would not want to jump in now mid-stream.

You can just start with 500 and make it a 5-team parlay instead of 7.

ILL- I dont believe in jumping in on a streak, I would hate to derail you guys. Thanks for the offer though. I would love to see you guys make it, as I am planning on being out there playing in some events.
