Thursday NCAA

LIPSCOMB NOW PK

I just got Lipscomb +1, money coming in on the other side apparently.

correct and usually dont like backing GB but detroit always finds a way to lose. unfortunately for me, many lines go against me before tip as i play them early but that's the game we play, yet one guy on here keeps saying i have best lines (Already been proven wrong every time) LOL

You actually went against them vs Wright State. UWGB is a much improved team vs last year. But that didn't take much, GL

 

[PirateAlew]

Yeah I forgot about that drubbing a week ago. Believe it was an early game and I was mad rest of day

Hopefully Detroit remains winless tonight and we’re all happy but if not tip your cap to Detroit for stealing one aka playing their best game cause that’s what it will take

Pirate, Prayers for your wife and your family. Be strong and keep fighting to beat that disease. I have had it; it is rough on the mind too.

Not trying to be a smart ass but you normally do have better lines than what is available to most of us. Usually anywhere from 1/2 to 1 full point. But you have stated that you have many books so I can see how that is possible. I would say in my case I can only match 5-10 percent of your lines, probably around 5 percent, but I only have one book so it doesn't concern me. I can beat your lines maybe 1 percent of the time. The ones that seem to be the most off are the totals (usually 2+ points better than what I can get) but I don't bet totals so it is of no concern to me. Only telling you that since you brought it up. I do enjoy and read your thread everyday for ideas which can be very helpful.

Thank you!! Really hoping 2024 is better than 2023 but it hasn’t started great . At least it just started and can turn around , and she’s a fighter who’s beaten it once just this time it came back worse and at a bad time (not that there’s ever a good time). Appreciate the thoughts!!

Thank you! Yeah there’s a benefit of having many options and I’m glad VA legalized it so I have many options. I remember the days of having only offshore or locals and it sucked. I still use offshore a few times like with VA games and I have noted they are always worse than Betrivers (one of my faves for low juice and better lines), Ceasars and the other books (fanduel and DK are ok but the juice sucks for buying halves sometimes).

Hope we win on these tonight. good luck!

This line talk gives me a headache...I think I can beat pirates top 5 play lines on 4 of the games. I have 5 books. There are times where the lines move based on regional sentiment and book availability in that region. I routinely see whole point differences in basketball between books, including live. I know one of the books I don't have availability to that pirate has is betriver and I'm sure that's where I see variability

Bottom line is if you can't get the same line you can always buy points and or downgrade the play

 

[BadAngel]

Pirate, it is good that she is a fighter. She already knows what to do. KEEP FIGHTING. I wish you both the best.

BA

Thank you. I’ve gotten used to it but where I get angry is when scammers like @Nolan#1 come in my threads repeatedly like Monday this week claiming my total was way off but he was proven wrong by me and others.

https://www.therx.com/threads/monday-ncaab.1272168/

Today he’s still at it in his ncaa thread claiming I’m 3 points off every game and my lines aren’t “right.” Thats what draws my ire is his BS. The poster above took a better tact and is limited to 1 book while Nolan is in Dominican and been proven to have tried to scam people on here like @Ferrari355 and a few others.

Don't read the lines chatter if you get a headache. There was no complaining and just facts I was giving Pirate about how his lines almost always beat the lines others and I can get. I think he understood my comment and had no problems with what I said. Check his #27 post.

Yes I have no problem with your post at all, just one poster on this forum as noted above bc I hate when people keep lying or spreading misinformation even when proven wrong repeatedly

Thanks for your assessment of the different books. I live in NC and online betting has been approved but not yet implemented. Seems NC is always behind most states in matters like this.

I was born and raised in chapel hill then ecu and years in Raleigh/morrisville/cary until 2019 when I moved here with current wife. Was just in Chapel hill for Christmas and pops was telling me about the approved casinos which seems odd as I’m just used to Cherokee (hated that drive).

Where in nc are you?

Hendersonville. Grew up here and retired back here. Worked around the US.

That’s awesome! Glad to hear it. Looks like my early games outside Lipscomb had good first halves . Hope they can hold on 2H. I seem to never have much luck betting halves so I’ve stuck with fg mostly as I seem to pick the wrong half my team will go off. Haha

Beautiful part of NC off I-26…Been through there a few times and once on my visit to UNCA, Lenoir Rhyne when they recruited me in HS late 1990s. Went and saw Brevard as a favor to dads friend but way too small for me so I ended up at unc briefly then transferred to ECU and did my time and grad school there .

Do love the mountains and Lake Lure down that way. Good to meet another on here from the original Carolina, The Old North State.

Be better than that. You are both good cappers.
