One teaser down. Nice job, boys. Now I gotta get this parlay. Hoping UCLA picks it up here.

Well I knew it was probably dumb to take BC but figured they might keep it close. Hoping VT doesn't make me 0-2.

Northeastern come on get your shit together! Knew I should have just taken Cuse instead of them for that 3rd team in my first teaser.

I'm debating Butler right now as part of another teaser. I like A&M over Duke at -4 and Blazers at +14. I can get Butler to +12 versus Villanova. Game's at Hinkle. Searching around.

Yeah I like all of those as well. I might still that from you haha.

Won the first teaser but the 2nd one is already going to go down in flames. You would have thought after last night I would have learned my lesson by moving a team to +.5 and expecting them to get the win instead of moving the team who you know probably won't lose by more than 10 to +14.5. Fuck you Providence.

Lol fucking Providence thanks for nothing. Really thought I was actually going to win that 2nd teaser. Couldn't believe it when I saw the game went into OT. 9 seconds left up by 3 and you foul then turn the ball over and foul again and Seton Hall wins as you turn it over to end the game.

The story of my life. A friend of mine who is also a big sports better and I talk about this all the time. By teasing the favorite to the + side, you are essentially admitting that you are not confident at all that they will win. Therefore, the logical play in that scenario is to tease the underdog. Even knowing all of this, you tease the favorite anyway. I have lost so many bets doing this.

Butler looking good early.

Right now I also have Iowa State -18.5 and Memphis -3 as part of a teaser.

Thinking about adding Texas A&M -14.5 but not sure. I really think Manziel and the Aggies will go out in style.

2 of UH's top 3 scorers are out tonight. House has missed 7 straight and Rose the last 2. They are coming off a 17-point loss to A&M, who isn't any good at all.

UConn -9. Heard it here NOW!

Parlayed that, A&M -14 and Portland over OKC money line. 10:1 payout if it hits.

Got UConn -8. Wish there were something attractive to parlay it with, but not doing NBA and Creighton-Marquette isn't that enticing.

Texas A&M needs to get their ass in gear. Damn it, Johnny. You can't lose to Duke.

Apart from Duke's QB being paralyzed at some point, A&M cannot win this game. They're playing 11 on 22. A fatal mistake on my part forgetting that. And Manziel is just out of sorts.

UConn is just not a dominant team, so they'll never beat anyone of quality by 10, and truth be told, they probably don't even want to be there tonight. I can't say I blame them. It's a no-one-cares game.

I am also shutting it down. Gonna finish the day with $10 more than where I started this morning, so I guess it could be worse. But $1 an hour isn't really optimal for the amount of time and energy invested. Lol.

Well I got off to a bad start but have had a great evening of betting. And looks like Duke is going to be the first ACC school to come through for me.

Almost hit on that 8 team parlay too would have been nice fucking Bulls failed me tho.

Won big on my parlay of Arizona and UCLA (including single game bets on each) and then hit on a nice college basketball teaser. However, I put all of the winnings from those into my later bets, all of which I lost, neutralizing all of my gains on the day except for the $10.

In order to hit on my big teaser tonight, Texas A&M needed to win by 5. Since it was a special sweetheart teaser, a push counted as a loss, which I didn't realize at first since I'd never pushed on a sweetheart before. Needless to say, the ending to that game was pretty anti-climactic after realizing that fact. Manziel is fucking awesome, though. He's just phenomenal, one of the best football players I've ever seen at the college level.

Anything today?

I took the over in Iowa/LSU (49) and Nebraska/Georgia (60.5) along with South Carolina to win straight up.

I do feel Wisconsin is better than USCjr though, so I may find something else to also pick the Badgers.

Georgia could blow them out or it could be a very, very juicy spread. We all know Nebraska's defense is garbage, so it depends on UGA's QB...

That's easily the most lopsided SEC/B1G game. The other 2 are about evenly matched IMO.

Right now I got Nebraska +10 and South Carolina +1 on a parlay. The Gamecocks need to pick it up.
