He has a tendency to let his teammates do the scoring.

My overall opinion of the game is that Memphis' speed will be too much for Kansas to overcome. Plus I'd take Calamari over Self in a coaching duel any day of the week.

Ok, so check this. Right now I am sitting on a $200 Future wager on Memphis at 7/1($1600 payout), so do I do what I want to do and let it ride, OR do I listen to my friends and play Kansas on the money line, which is probably about +120, for say $400 or $500 and essentially cut my 7/1 half...

I'd rather lose the $200 than cut my winnings that much.

This is what I thought, I already considered the $200 lost anyways when I bet it

I am probably just going to let it ride, and if I get nosed at the wire in this game, like every horse bet from this weekend(see last races at SA on both Friday and Saturday, they weren't 'noses' but they were some pretty tough beats, had Futuro in a large DD, and the middle horse in large DD's, and the 11 on Saturday would have given 5 out of 6 plus a large P3), then I get nosed...

Right. Covering the bet takes the fun and the accomplishment out of it.

Let that b.itch ride.

That is exactly what I am doing. TIME TO GET PUMPED COACH....

My friends are a bunch of panzies, I have one friend that thinks he is the next Brandon Lang (see his website, investmentsports.com, STOP BETTING on SPORTS AND START INVESTING

) and the others are conservatives.....

The only thing I am worried about is how that lined opened, as Coach said. I thought for sure it was the other way, and the public is falling in love with telfon John and his superstar city boys.

Your bet is in Scavs...Don't read another thing or follow any line changes. JUST WATCH THE GAME. You can't affect anything that happens now anyway
