The PROFITcies of IrishLax

[DomeX2 eNVy]

Can LAX earn his way to 2 ND football tickets this season? All he needs to do is continuously win his hoop picks throughout the weekend.

Currently, nothing has been earned (by me) as I didn't get the picks in time to stop by the sportsbook on my morning journey around town - but I'm a man of my word and will still give him credit.
Right now the guru is 3-0.
NC on the moneyline (a total bush league pick, as I would never bet that as it would take my entire bankroll to make a little - and man was that close to disaster).
NC/UM Under
OSU/NW Under

He is on a roll. Now I need something that will pay for those tickets my friend.
Please give my your foresight on games starting after 5PM EST (as I have a lunch meeting and can't get the bets in); and I'd prefer no big favorites on the money line.

Keep'em coming. . .
:allhail:

This is just a little creepy...

Alright here goes....

OVER on 119.5 Penn State vs. Wisconsin. Big Ten likes to play slow but I expect Wisconsin to have either a small lead down the stretch = fouling or a big lead = already hit the over.

UNDER on 146.5 Duke vs. Maryland. Both teams are great scoring the ball (in theory) but I see Maryland not getting out of the 60s so Duke will likely have to score 80+ to hit the over. The Dukies haven't scored 80 in their last 6 games.

More later.

And sorry about the UNC moneyline haha.... it actually looked like good odds from my standpoint considering how Miami played last night and the roll UNC has been on.

EDIT: Actually it makes more sense for me to only take .2 of a win since UNC was -500. Therefor, I consider myself 2.2 and 0. I'll apply this logic to all of my moneyline calls because I hate point spreads.

 

[IrishLax]

Syracuse (moneyline -160) over UConn. Yeah, UConn has been hot, but they've beaten two trash teams and almost got ran out of the gym by Pitt for awhile there. Kemba Walker is the real deal but he will not be able to score inside as easily against the Syracuse bigs. The fatigue is going to catch up to them in this game and Syracuse should find a way to get the W. Remember, Syracuse beat Uconn at UConn when they were playing their worst basketball of the season. In my humble opinion, this is an absolutely awesome moneyline.

UNDER 136.5 Syracuse and UConn. This is a really easy call. Yeah, UConn might stay hot, but I just don't see this game getting out of the low 60s regardless of who wins.

 

[Veer option]

Oh man that 119.5 over bet would be soooo ripe.

 

[DomeX2 eNVy]

It is on! Let's do it Lax. Not sure about going against K Walker right now, but i'm with you.

 

[irishfan]

I like the Cuse over UCONN pick LAX. Kemba struggles with a zone. I would be thrilled if UCONN won as I would much rather have ND play them than Cuse (assuming we take care of business against Louisville later tonight), but I think Cuse is back on a roll personally.

 

[NDOM]

Its a safe bet to take Louisville straight up tonight against ND. lol

 

[DomeX2 eNVy]

The Irish are - 1, so no real difference on the ml vs the spread. It shows a lot of respect for Louisville. Should be a fun game.

 

[WhoDeyIrish]

Sorry I didn't see this post earlier I would have given you a sure winner in Dayton today. They are finally showing some of their potential. They might be too much of a favorite tomorrow to take though.

 

[IrishLax]

I hate to say it but I have no confidence either direction in the Louisville vs ND game. We were outplayed most of the game at home, but at the same time we romped in OT. The O/U is also very tricky as I expect the game in the high 60s... ugh.

Last night's line against Cincy was so juicy... why can't I have that again!?!

 

[IrishLax]

Surprised at all the run and gun by 'Cuse. That is not their offense. I wonder if they're trying to tire out UConn.

 

[IrishLax]

Duke 42 Maryland 33 going into half. Terps playing like morons. O/U going to be tight.

I'm rooting for you lax, but the Duke game is scaring me right now.

 

[IrishLax]

I'm rooting for you lax, but the Duke game is scaring me right now.

Yeah Maryland is really pushing the tempo and taking some bad shots. I don't like it as long as they're down they're going to continue doing it. It's really silly because the blueprint to beat Duke is the complete opposite. Ask Virginia Tech.

 

[IrishLax]

Holy jesus I'm going to miss the O/U on the Cuse game too. Where did all this scoring come from!?!?

 

[DomeX2 eNVy]

Will someone please play defense!!!!!

 

[IrishLax]

72 points in 27 minutes...... then 36 in 5 min...... my run of dumb luck is over.

 

[DomeX2 eNVy]

It's not over yet. Not looking good for us, but there is still hope - and I care more about an ND win than these bets.

 

[DomeX2 eNVy]

Maryland is playing 12 feet off of guys 10 feet from the basket. Holy crap, Duke is going to hit 90 if they keep playing D like that.

 

[IrishLax]

Well shoot was looking like a sure split... if 'Cuse comes out fouling here though it might hit the over.

 

[IrishLax]

7 points of wiggle... 40 seconds...

 

[IrishLax]

7 points of wiggle.... 25 seconds....

 

[IrishLax]

WTF!!!!!!! BANK!?!?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!?!?!

3 points of wiggle..... 19 seconds.....

 

[IrishLax]

omg.... 'cuse better pull this out in OT now

 

[IrishLax]

Well that's a solid 0 for 3. The silver lining? If ND gets past Louisville they are going to smoke UConn.

 

[IrishLax]

And Wisconsin just went the first 7+ minutes of their game without scoring. lmao.

Idk. Can never count out a hot team with a superstar in the NCAA.

And talk about FML, my car's battery died on I-95 today, and a 2 hour trip turned into 9 hours.
