Revenge is Always Sweet

I got into an argument on a message board in the last few days over the Duke/UNC affair as a betting proposition. The message board bases a majority of their wagers on betting against public perception. With their theories, Duke +2 seemed like a nice idea to them. As an avid follower of Duke basketball, I tried to get them to back down from the cause because I felt very strongly about UNC taking the game easily. That led to numerous insults from the firing squad and eventually they banned me from the site. It seems as if they couldn't take some conversation in regards to one of the selections, despite the fact that I had agreed with some of their previous choices. I do believe there's value in what you actually watch in the games.

The same theory applies tonight when it comes to UCLA -1 @ Arizona State. I've been on the UCLA bandwagon the last two weeks because of the offensive adjustments they've made. They're playing as well as any team in the country these days, which is not what's been going on with Arizona State. Add the motivation for UCLA after losing in the earlier encounter at home and this one seems like a two unit play to me. It might not sit well with the message board people, but I'll take it for tonight.

Record: 19-25 on units (16-22 on selections)
Bank: $161.16

Mr. T's basketball fund started with an imaginary $200 and each unit represents $5 of action for every game he picks.
