As you can see by my few number of posts, I'm new to the site so go easy :)

I get the spread, but what's the number preceeding teams (i.e. 626)?

mstavros, each game on the board has a game # in the betting world. The game # is consistent at all books. If you went to a sports book and wanted to bet one of Natty's plays, then you could easily reference the game # when doing so. This is how Vegas/Bookies keep track of how much cheddar is on each game.

Thanks Big Daddy... Yeah, I usually do that when I'm not in a hurry. Universal betting rotation #s. Some people appreciate the convenience. A habit I got into a while back.
Sometimes its easier to find the game when you know the rotation #. especially when youre at a book and theres a zillion games to bet on the board.

Hello guys. I recently joined the site and this is my first post. I like all three of these picks, Natty. Solid selections. I really like Bo Ryan and that tough Wisconsin team.Wondering how you guys feel about the New Mexico game??

I get the spread, but what's the number preceeding teams (i.e. 626)?These are called "rotation numbers". Books use it to locate games when placing bets at a casino.

Nstravos,

Don't be afraid to ask any questions like that. We are all here to answer those questions.

It's better to have more information before diving in to something as serious as sports betting.

So, again, we will always be more then happy to answer any general questions you may have.

I was gonna bet NMex but after sweating the last game, knowing how hot Louisville has been, and watching the MtWest falter so much (even NMex almost didnt get past 1st rd) I have to pass on this one. Im rootin for em though.

This in early for Sunday:

722 - GTown -4 vs NCSt

I think the Hoyas have really hit a peak lately. Theyve been good to me. Might be the most under rated Big East team in this tournament. Might even be the most potentially successful Big East tm in this tournament after the dust settles.

Good luck today Natty :toast:

[NattyBumpo]

Thanks Archie. Bol to you as well.

Ill tidy things up later when I have time but wanna post these as I play them so ya'll have time to check em out...

For Sunday:
Gtown -4 ( comments above)
Mich St -6 vs Saint Louis
.... Billikins too overmatched to control MSU like they did Memphis. Big step up in class. MSU dominates them imo.

Drexel -7 vs NIowa
....NI soooo overated imo. Drexel should pick them to peices.

For Monday:

WashSt -3 vs Wyoming
....one the tuffest home courts around. Wyo is also still over rated in pwr ratings imo. Think theyve worn down a bit lately too. WashSt should win at home here. 3 pt cover shouldn't be too much to ask.

Going to look very hard at playing Penn and UNR for Sunday as well.
I need some honest feedback on Bucknell plz....

[Parlay2563]

I'm with ya Natty. I think today is gonna be a dog day.

[NattyBumpo]

Im in.... VCU +6 vs Indiana

Its the "pressure" that made me do it.

[NattyBumpo]

Adding for Sunday:

729 - Norfolk St +14.5 vs Florida

[NattyBumpo]

3-1 for Saturday (11-7) overall in NCAA tournament.

Will put my posted Sun Plays in a new thread after final card is done. For now they are:
Gtown -4 vs NCSt
NorfolkSt +14.5 vs Florida
MichSt -6

Drexel -7 vs NIowa

Still leaning vry hard on SFla...and then want to put the Lehigh/Xavier gm under the microscope. Working hard to find winners (while still at work lol...I have lots of down time today). My marathon ends tonight at 10. Will have final bets (if any) shortly after. :cool:

Natty, I was going to wait for the new thread, but I'll just wish you/us GL tomorrow here. I'm putting the GTown/MSU/Drexel ML parlay in now.
