    Hit 6/7 of a Europa League parlay for +5237. Had Man United to win in the 7th and they gave up a tying goal in injury time. Only $1 but ugh.

    Nice call. I took it, I know you follow IU. IU seemed up to the task for the first 30 minutes of the game. Plus, damn, they had - get this - a home court advantage!

    It came home. Penn State wasn't covering the whole game until late.
    Utah went to double OT. Overtime, as SVP and Stanford Steve point out, is usually not a friend to the OT bettor.

    I didn't watch the game (as an alum I can't take it anymore), but from what I've heard and read, IU would have been better off playing far, far away.

    Missed that NBA bet by five total points. Hawks needed three more, Hornets needed two more.

    Early action I like today: Michigan/Maryland under; Purdue to cover +1.5 (it's down to 1 now); Toledo -3 over Ohio.

    One I'm keeping an eye on due to reverse line movement: Oklahoma State +9 vs. Baylor. It opened at Baylor -10.5,

    In the process of getting the funds at my eight books somewhat evenly distributed to be ready to fire a week from today when the tournament starts.

    Amused that I'm seeing an email from one book, about "responsible gaming" and that this should only be for "entertainment". A half hour later, I see a promo on the same book's website promising me a $1,999 free bet if I can get 20k into "action" on the first round of the tournament.

    Cockroaches.

    Holy shit. That game ended at 164. Fucking brilliant.

    College bets were shit, but I did hit an in-game Rockets-Jazz parlay (Rockets +18.5, under, Jazz to win by 11+). Final was 114-99. And I went heavy on the Oregon State ML, which paid off.

    I don't really bet the in-game at Bovada but I notice that the lines are all -120.
    What are they at your books?
