This is astounding. I imagine the stomping of the Bruins had something to do with the odds being 11 to 10!

anywhere I can watch the first 13 minute of the ucla game my grandson had a GAme so I need to watch the first 10 minute thanks

Posted by Old Norm (Member # 1482) on 12-21-2014, 06:49 PM:

Try HERE Tut. I don't know if it's complete or not, because I didn't watch but the first two possessions. Best I could come up with. Norm

THANKS CATMAN GOT TO Watching the replay ky and lsu again still like to watch it was on the sec network

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-22-2014, 11:57 AM:

Those are almost even odds. We'll be hard to pick against unless (God forbid) we have more injuries.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-22-2014, 03:40 PM:

I see where Louisville is 14-1 which probably is about right. We will find out more on that Saturday afternoon.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-22-2014, 03:58 PM:

We will learn more about wether UL will make the final four or not by watching how they run the gauntlet in the ACC this year. They may spank every team they face. Somehow I doubt it, though!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-22-2014, 08:05 PM:

The ACC has always been a very good basketball conference but with Louisville it even gets better. I don't see anyone going undefeated that's for sure.

#16 Notre Dame
NC State
#5 Virginia
#2 Duke 0-0
#4 Louisville
Miami (FL)
Georgia Tech
#20 North Carolina
Pittsburgh
Boston College
Clemson
Syracuse
Virginia Tech
Florida St
Wake Forest

I think Virginia is the Big surprise in this group!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-22-2014, 08:20 PM:

North Carolina didn't look too bad this weekend against Ohio State either. SO either Ohio State isn't as good as advertised or UNC is better.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-22-2014, 08:24 PM:

Virginia has a very good team this year and is a team that everyone better had better watch out for. They could be force in the ACC.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-22-2014, 08:25 PM:

I am pretty sure Virginia won the ACC tournament last year and have a solid team again this year.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-22-2014, 08:48 PM:

THenyou have Duke is still unbeaten, Notre Dame is playing pretty well. UNC can be a pretty tough game.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-22-2014, 08:49 PM:

Temple is handing Kansas their BUTT'S right now. Kansas trails by 23 with just under 3 minutes to play!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-22-2014, 09:05 PM:

This ACC conference will be awfully strong again this year

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-22-2014, 11:55 PM:

What's funny is we really don't have that many statistical leaders in the conference brackets, but by the same token we believe in TEAM!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-23-2014, 09:35 AM:

The reason our players don't get the big stats is easy our players don't get the minutes to increase their stats due to the platoon system.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-23-2014, 09:36 AM:

The great thing about this team is they never complain and they always play team basketball and pull for each other. It's a fantastic team both on and off the court.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-23-2014, 02:42 PM:

They also know that in the end they are writing their own pay checks too!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-23-2014, 03:48 PM:

The odds from the original post has now been changed to 1-1 OR EVEN ODDS. THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE DUKE TEAM OF '92!!

We will lose some of our talented under-classmen no doubt about it but we sure enjoyed them while they were here.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-23-2014, 04:34 PM:

The good thing is we won't lose them all and the beat will still go on. Life as a Kentucky fan is special.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-23-2014, 05:41 PM:

A few of these guys will stay around. That's a great thing!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-23-2014, 06:59 PM:

I think too we will be getting a few talented freshman to go along with those who will be staying.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-23-2014, 08:09 PM:

THE odds have changed again. NOW IF YOU WERE TO BET $110 YOU'D GET $100 IN RETURN!

THE ODDS ARE NOW 10-11

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-23-2014, 08:56 PM:

Must be some more gamblers betting money that the CATS will WIN!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-23-2014, 10:08 PM:

I am no gambler but if you bet a 100 dollars and Kentucky wins you still have to get more back than what you bet.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-23-2014, 10:12 PM:

Otherwise you might as well be giving me the money, CMD! [Wink]

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-24-2014, 09:39 AM:

Exactly and that's why I believe you would get back 110 dollars back. Maybe we have a TCDer who knows more about gambling than we do. [Smile]

Posted by CatFanInYankeeville (Member # 2025) on 12-24-2014, 10:09 AM:

I was in Vegas a couple weeks ago, I put down $20 on UK to win it all. At the time, it was a +140 bet, so figures out to a 7/5 payout. I believe that equates to approx 41.6% chance of happening. It's gone up since then..so, at 11/10, it's a +110, or 47.6% chance. Wow.

Posted by CatFanInYankeeville (Member # 2025) on 12-24-2014, 10:10 AM:

And yes, if you bet it at 11/10, you get back 11 bucks for every 10 you bet. So, a $100 bet pays out $110, plus your original $100, so you'd walk away with $210.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-24-2014, 10:49 AM:

Great info and love the Cats but those odds are not good enough to bet any of my retirement fund on.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-24-2014, 02:11 PM:

You have to be a risk taker to be a gambler. CMD.

The biggest gamble I take is pulling out onto the highway in my car every day!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-24-2014, 03:02 PM:

MH, It's risk reward thing with me and in this case it's a very small reward.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-24-2014, 03:05 PM:

I drive by a gambling boat on my way to work every day, but I couldn't tell you the last time I set foot in the place.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-24-2014, 04:42 PM:

They are good places to stay out of as they will hurt you bad if you spend to much time making bets.
