8ate, Ill remember what you said about totals the next few weeks. It would have been a decent day if I had more coin on the totals plays. Books wont book as much on those plays, but I do have more outlets this year than previous years so I should have played 3-5* on the totals like the sides I bet.
After Thursdays games, the o/u started falling and I just didnt want to add to initial bets that were several points from another play. In case people didnt notice, the steam mattered with at least 2 totals.
Stanford/WSU opened 56 closed at 51.5 final was 52
NIU/Wisc opened 51 closed at 47 final was 48
Several games (too many to list) that steamed lower had plenty of scoring and soared over.
I dont recall an opening week where as many lines moves were on the losing side. Usually that doesnt happen until after the first few weeks.
The Illinois and San Jose plays were well off the final score, so not only did I overestimated Illinois, I underestimated Missouri. San Jose hung on early, but I underestimated the power of USC when they want to unleash it on small conference teams. San Jose was my largest play.
BP, I know the feeling. The one play I did middle my initial Idaho +6 was the winning side. I couldnt resist nmst -2.5. If I would have laid off the middle, my luck idaho would not have covered. Im glad I kept the a&m and nd w/o middling for both ended as blowouts.
Its now time to look over boxscores and regroup to focus on week 2.
