Back to within 12 again with 7:30 left... we are forcing turnovers now defensively and have the momentum!

Dayton down 18 with 3:36 left. What an embarrassment... They did not come to play tonight and you could see it from tip off. Typical Dayton basketball, not being able to win on the road.

Dayton is so on my bad list now.

You should have confronted me about betting on them. I have a little more knowledge about what is going on with them EX backup PG Steven Thomas didn't travel due to a death in the family and starter Charles Little was going to be limited to minutes due to a knee injury. I've been a season ticket holder my whole life, and our arms are open to welcome you to our fanbase :p

I figured they'd win... but I also figured it would be somewhere in the 3-5 point range. Not 18 or whatever it is right now

From my days as an, in all modesty, incredibly successful college basketball bettor, one hard and fast rule I developed was never betting on road teams during finals week. You rarely see a team travel and play well during exams.

I'm not big on hyperbole... So when I say this I mean it. That's genius. I completely forgot it was finals week. That'll be one of my new rules.

Final score: Creighton 77 Dayton 59

Terrible game to watch, but Creighton is a good team and you have to give credit where credit is due. They are picked to win the MVC. Another odd stat, Creighton has never lost a home game at the Quest Center on a Wednesday night...

Not at all. The increasingly easy access to information has made a couple of these less applicable. Also, don't become too dogmatic in following them. If you keep those caveats in mind, these rules should serve you well.

1. Identify the 10 worst on the board teams in the country. Consistently bet against them.
2. Learn the mid major leagues inside and out. The line on Duke-Carolina is going to come out of Vegas with all of the gaming industries intellectual muscle behind it. Manhattan-Iona, not so much.
3. The aformentioned finals week rule.
4. Find teams in mid major leagues that played around .500 last year and return 3 or more starters, with one of them being their leading scorer. You win with experience in those leagues.
5. Toward the end of the season, identify schools who are likely to fire their coaches. Those teams are likely to start mailing it in in mid February.
6. Don't take the over in games involving two teams that both shoot free throws poorly.
7. Bet against west coast teams coming east of the Mississippi to play.
8. Bet small road favorites in the BCS leagues. If a team is favored on the road in those leagues, it's generally a good indication that they are superior to their opponent.
9. "Revenge" is overrated. Usually, if a team won the first conference meeting, there's a reason. They're better.
10. Find really good defensive mid majors. Bet them on the road as substantial underdogs to BCS schools.

I like them. I'll actually save them to my PC. I'm not a bad bettor (I win more than I lose), but that's mostly based on having watched teams play in the past, and knowledge of them. But still, everyone would like to make a little more money.
