I know nothing about women's hoops but I heard Uconn is really good.
“I’m not excited to see Brittney Griner at all, I’m not excited one bit,’’ said UConn coach Geno Auriemma. “Let me tell you something, she’s the most unique college basketball player in the country.
“When you go into a game against Brittney Griner, you can’t say, ‘Remember the last time we played a game against somebody like this?’ because there’s no last time we did this.
“This is something that’s pretty unique, and, geez, you got to be pretty unique, I guess, to attack them.’’
The semifinal nightcap will be the undefeated Huskies against Baylor, led by star freshman Brittney Griner, the 6-foot-8 center who has blocked an NCAA tournament-record 35 shots so far in four games.
"Believe me, this is probably one of the hardest things that any coach has had to do that's gotten ready to play them, is figure out how to deal with her," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. "And the last part of the season, not too many people have been successful."
Just remember that EVERYBODY on UConn can score, and their ball-movement is light years ahead of anybody else... even if that giraffe Griner has a great game and even IF she stays outta foul trouble, it still may not be enough to keep it "close" for 40 min... but hey, I'll just be a spectator and I'll be rootin' for ya ricky...
bol
i would never bet more than 100 bucks on a womens game
i dont know much about it
bol again
they havent lost ALL YEAR by 20 probably right?
Thats a good sign for you I'm sure
well, i think UCONNshould have better D in light they are favored by 21 pts...
BRO, YOURE KILLING ME WITH THIS THREAD. I usually dont come across as a hater, but with all due respect, youre either (a) full of shit or (b) stupid. Which one is it?
Its one thing to say, "Im playing Baylor with Friner to cover." Which in all actuality is not wise, but Ive seen and done worse in my lifetime.
Buts its a whole whole whole different story, when you say youre putting $6,000 on Baylor and a true Freshman against the most dminant basketball team to ever exist. Personally, I think youre full of shit. Because I truly dont believe anyone is that naieve.
I vote for and not plain (clueless and dumb). Im done with this thread, if you truly are a gambler, and you truly handicap games as opposed to just blindly bet games, I would dito hear your reasoning behing Baylor. And yes, Baylor could cover, this is gambling and sports, but as a gambler were always looking for an edge, advantage or mistake by the oddsmakers. This game has none of the three w/ Baylor-I promise you that.
Now the Stanford game, with Appel, Pedersen, Pohlen, Gold-Onwude and Ogwumike (sp?)-I am all in and them having an advantage or edge versus UConn.
Good night and best of wishes with your "large play."
Hey Jesron: Im sorry, but I dont remember addressing you, so stay the f*** out of my conversation you surly, little idiot! But since you replied to my post not intended for you, heres one for you: Your lack of intelligence or reason in Womens NCAA is so obvious by your wisemouthed and assinine reply: You cannot call this man full of $hit because he has been right on so far regarding this team. Hell he played the Baylor ML against TEN when everyone was on TEN -10. So check your facts before calling him full of $hit.
Checky my facts, you ask? Uhhhh, whats your point again? A man plays against a typical overrated and overvalued Tennessee team (just like most years post Candace Parker and Shamique Holdsclaw). Tennessee came marching into the tourney and lost? Surprise, Surprise! Did you know Tennessee lost in the 1st Round last year to Rutgers? So, you have no point or merit with your comment here. I too was on Baylor, and any one that knows anything about Womens Hoops knew Tennessee was an overrated and overvalued team. Tennessee had a great regular season (like Nebraska) but we all knew the two didnt have what it takes to be NCAA Champs, either does Baylor btw.Tenessee beat themselves as much as Baylor beat them anyway. And who the f*** is 2010 Tennessee anyway=Arguably "garbage team" without 1 SR on team, and personally, I dont even think Stricklen, Cain or Bjorklund are worth .02 cents, so get your info straight before popping off at the mouth.
I stand by my opinion/point, "why would anyone, that values money and gambles to profit and not to "have action" place 22 units/$6,000 whatever, on a team with no outside perimter game, no rebounding at all (besides Griner), no leadership, etc versus arguably the most dominant basketball team in the history of sports?" And at 10% juice?
Yes, Rickydee can do whatever he wants, but as far as value/matchups/situational handicapping go, what a stupid stupid stupid play. Ive witnessed UConn beat much much much better teams by 50+ points over the past 10 years than the 2010 FR lead Baylor team. And if Rickydee was wise, he would wait til the line reached 23-25 points, like it will. No disrespect Rickydee, do whatever you wish with "your money" and for all intents and purposes-Good Luck, But boy oh boy, what a stupid play in Baylor +20.5 at $6,600 to win $6,000. Hell, as I type, my ticker shows Baylor +22.5? Go figure.....
If you honestly think that Stanford would have more of a chance than Baylor then you didn't see the Xaiver/Stanford game did you?
Im almost embarrassed replying to this ludicrous comment of yours but I will, just to point out your complete stupidity- Did I see the Stanford/Xavier game? Yes I did. And did you see the Mens Butler vs Murray State game? And did you see the Mens Michigan State vs Maryland game and did you see the Mens Michigan State vs Tennessee game? Because a team "almost loses" or has a "bad game" that does not make them a bad team Einstein. Xavier was a matchup problem from the get go for Xavier because of Xaviers immense size (and talent too). Anyone that knows anything about Womens College hoops knows that every year there are 2-4 Great teams with Great players, and then there is the rest of the NCAA, of which the 2-4 teams are 20+ points better than on each given night. Stanford is "by far" and hands down, no question the 2nd best team in Womens Hoops. Yes Baylor has Ashley "the dunking phenom from Nimitz" but UConn has 6-7 equally efficient players that all play together and for petes sake have won 76.
So jesron make as many comments as you wish to what Ive typed this evening, as I may not even read them for a few days (I have better things to do than type rebuttals to you)but it is apparent you my friend and not I, know very very little about Womens Hoops and I would bet you know very little about wagering in general.
So what are your Mens and Womens Final 4 Plays? Do you handicap games or just surf threads?!
DUDE****
...don't know what your account looks like Rickydee, but if it's as healthy as you say, why not try to catch a nice middle of 3.5 points? I mean, you have got to admit, the line movement (as I posted a couple days ago) seems to be going against your initial wager, and I'm not sure it's just the public who is piling onto UConn... just a thought buddy, GL, whatever you do, but I know that the "syndicates" would be trying to "middle" here...
aw fuck, sorry, I;m drunk tonight, can't catch a middle in the order you laid your bet down, DUH...
carry on
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Get that TOUT out of here!!!
You so called rebuttal is beyond rediculous. I have already posted several comments on this thread about my concerns for RickyDees play and I personally haven't playing anything yet. However, lets look at what you said and is there anything gamblers can hang their hat one. NADA, ZILTCH, ZERO, kinda like you with your pompous attitude. What you basically said is UCON is the best team that ever existed and can beat anyone by 50 at anytime. WOW great analysis... you sound like everyone else who supports UCON, thanks for the contribution to this forum without you we would all be lost.
Then you review my comment on how I said RickyDees took Baylor over Tennessee. Congrats for you to say AFTER THE FACT that you also took Baylor too and determined at the time that you think TEN is overrated. Funny thing is I don't see you ever created thread about this so you credibility is lacking.
Finally, you made the unbelievable OBVIOUS observation AFTER the Stanford game about how Stanford would have matchup problems with Xaiver. WOW YOU ARE A GENIUS! That was pretty clear while watching the game. But what again you didn't share this insight with anyone so even if you believed this (I doubt it) again little to no credibility. Funny thing is that you don't mention that Baylor would also cause matchup problems for anyone they play. But of course you think you know best and there would be no proving a genius like you wrong.
It always amazes me how I meet the most incredible handicappers on this website. The only problem is that they are ony amazing after the game is over because then and only then do these people come out of the woodwork claiming they were right about this and that. Congrats you qualify for this group.
Finally, I personally don't know RickyDees but he has supplied good information to this forum and as such is an asset. What have you done or than say in another mans thread that he is stupid to bet against UCON with absolutely nothing to support that conclusion or than OMG THEY ARE LIKE THE BEST TEAM EVER!
Fair enough. I should have probably taking this argument elsewhere and not in your thread. I am sorry for polluting your thread. Personally I am leaning BAY as well and hoping to get 25 or more. If I was completely in favore of UCON I would have bet them when they first came out. I could perhaps see UCON 1H hitting but I see BAY staying within 25 (and hopefully also 20). I also lean under with these two defensive teams but it will depend on the total. Anything under 130 I am taking the under. What are your thoughts on the total?
This always annoys me. Seriously do you think you are the first person to have ever watched Vegas Vaction?
You cannot call this man full of $hit because he has been right on so far regarding this team. Hell he played the Baylor ML against TEN when everyone was on TEN -10. So check your facts before calling him full of $hit.
I am honestly not sure. My problem is Geno will run the score up on this team if they can so they are going to get no help from UCON.
I followed you on the Baylor/Duke game, but here, I am going large with Uconn. Griner is a special player, but Uconn has 6 or 7 special players. They have a Griner type of player/athlete at every position and on the bench. I got it a -22 and thought that was a discount. Good luck, you have been money with them so far.
congrats Rickydee
A missed FT seperated you from $6000, but luck was in your favor, and baylor netted you a cool 15K.
congrats to everybody who shrewdly took Baylor 20.5+...
WOW, you won by whopping 0.5 pt!!!
Baylor
YOU ARE THE FUCKING MAN>>>>
DUDE, I WISH I COULD PULL THE TRIGGER LIKE YOU
YOU KNOW YOUR SHIT IN WOMEN'S BBALL
WOW, I WISH I TOOK BAYLOR>>>THEY LOOK FUCKING GOOD!
THEY HAVE UCONN SOOO FUCKING SCARED RIGHT NOW>>>
IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE IF MAYA MOORE OR TINA CHARLES CAN GET THEIR HEADS BACK IN TO THIS ONE!
RIGHT NOW, CHARLES' HEAD IS SO FUCKED UP!
You guys have to think, why would vegas put out a spread that UCONN would cover again. They knew that the degenerates would start talking amongst themselves and they'd be all in on a day where the 2 consensus pick NBA's lost on NBC. Anytime the open line moves that much you gotta go the other way and smell the trap.
Ricky we need Baylor to stop giving UCON second chances points. If they could clean that up they would still only be down a couple possessions. This might be close. Lets go Baylor!
UCON getting all of the calls right now!
I waited until the last minute and could have gotten 25 last night but got greeded and hoped for more. Instead I had to buy a 0.5 to get to 25 but I have Baylor +25 for 2 units. BOL!
Also, over 57 1H for 1 unit. Just a hunch. If the total goes over 1H (especialy way over) I will play under 2H more than likely. BOL!

15k actually! I think Ricky should withdraw it all, buy a new boat, paint it green and white and name it Thank You Baylor! BOL you deserved it Ricky!
TRUE! Even though I had +25 I really sweat it out for you. That 3 I figured did it but all those damn turnovers (20 total) and fouls called by the refs really got me worried. VERY HAPPY for you as you really deserve it. All the $hit you had to take for you play and guarantee you made tons of people money who tailed you tonight.
Nice hit Ricky,
I had Baylor +25 for a half unit. After getting kicked in my nuts left and right all fn' week long it was nice to go out on a win even though I know Jack fuckall about womens hoop. 25+ just seemed like it had to be too much for a final four game. Pure luck,,,,I had now business playing it, but I'll take it,
Anyway nice job...
UCONN IS JUST TOOO GOOOD
I should fade everytime someone says biggest bet of the year!
No one twisted my arm
