...then the line moves against you? this morning i bet ucla -3.5. check this afternoon and there are 3's everywhere.

... especially when take it large because you are looking to scalp it later.

That being said, if I wanted to take UCLA, I would not do it now. Why go against a public team so early? Let the public make their call and soften up the line a little.

PS: I have Gonzaga in my bracket.

Totally gut-wrenching!

i figured it would go the other way. i saw pinny last night had ucla -3.5 -120...then early today saw 4's everywhere. when it came back to 3.5, i hit it. then it fell to 3.

i dont think gonzaga can win this game straight up and i think there is a good chance they get blown out.

jwunderdog · Mar 20, 2006

yep, I am sitting on Mich -4:nohead: , on a good note I got Gonz +4.5 -112 this morning.

You could go with the stock market theory - if the line gets better, buy more.

Have noticed for many years in "most" cases. That if you are a Chalk player its best to wait as the Wiseguys are "mostly" doggie folks and the chalk gets cheaper in cbb. JMO

Umm, 2.5's now available. Good luck.

Hmm, I took Gonzaga+4 this morning and scalped 25% immediately. Wish I'd waited now.

The Wallstreet analogy is dead on. Bruins cover 3.5 w/ eaze!

how do you know that?

I like UCLA here, and just don't see the Zags winning this game. What am I missing?

Charles Manson and co. could barely get by St Mary's, San Fran, and Marymount, all at home. I just don't think they play enough defense. Farmar is a stud. Too much for the Zags, imo.
