    thank you. if I didn't know and couldn't find the answer by searching, I will ask. Cytwins responded with "4". That's all I needed to know at this point.

    Real Estate Market?

    They sell their notes to avoid interest rate risk. Let's just say that a Bank offers you a 4.00% interest rate on a 30-year loan and decides to keep it "in-house". That's great, but the bank has to keep that on their portfolio for 30 years. So when the bank is being paid 4.00% on that loan...

    Real Estate Market?

    Thank you. Unfortunately, we are not talking about the housing bubble, but the best option at this time for someone to secure financing for a home purchase.

    Real Estate Market?

    Not sure how you are getting a 30-year rate quote at 3.25%. The market today means that the Bank will be losing 4.50% by doing your loan at that rate. So if you have $100,000 loan, the bank will be losing $4,500 just to do your loan. Since the bank wants to make a profit, I will assume that a...

    Real Estate Market?

    Okay, I'll make this as short as possible. Been in the mortgage biz for 25 years and currently manage all mortgage op's for a local Bank. 1) An ARM loan is okay if you are a person that feels you will upgrade (and move) in the next 7 years. Don't mess around with any ARM loan under a fixed...

    Sweet 16 Predictions...

    Don't think Gonzaga can win. They have never seen an aggressive D like WV has in store for them. If they do win, I don't think they'll cover the 4 pt spread. Kansas is in trouble if Purdue hits shots. And again, if KU wins, I don't think they cover the 6 pt spread. That's where I have my...

    Way Too Early Look at Next Year

    The Big XII is going to be tough next year. if history is any indication, we will probably be picked to finish in the bottom tier again. The good news is that we usually finish way better than expected. We have somewhat of a tradition going now, and I wouldn't downplay that. Making the dance...

    Seton Hall Flagrant foul - wrong call, or right call rarely made?

    Let me us the word "intentional" instead of common sense. Both fouls were not intentional, and should have never been called as a flagrant foul. Maybe just my opinion, but it seemed pretty obvious to me they were both accidental contact. The "trip" was totally accidental, and a defender...

    Thought I'd start another thread on today's odds

    now we've moved back to +1 on my own betting site. This is absolutely crazy!!! Another 2 point swing in less than an hour. This is going to be the most watched game in the nation tonight!!

    Thought I'd start another thread on today's odds

    I can't remember the last time I have seen no spreads this short of game-time. Something is going on, but I am clueless. If bets were one sided, they would post updates and change. Really wanted to bet on this game, but I'll have to wait and see if something is finally posted

    Thought I'd start another thread on today's odds

    still no change and no spreads available. Did Monte get suspended for his "best ever point guard reference"? Did Ivan Drago (Haas) go to Russia to fight Rocky again? This is really strange in the gambling world almost 4 hrs til tip off....

    Seton Hall Flagrant foul - wrong call, or right call rarely made?

    Don't agree with that call, nor the other call I saw in the first round (and I can't remember the teams) in which a player fell down, reached for the ball and touched the "foot" of the shooter. From hearing the analysis with Barkley, etc.; it was the right call according to the rule book, but...

    I'll start a spefic spread on the odds of tonight's game

    As a semi-frequent gambler, I was surprised to see Purdue favored by 1 this morning around 8:30, and that was switched to ISU -1 at around 10:00. Can't seem to remember a spread moving so much in such little time? Now it's almost 3:00 and Ceasar's, MGM and Stations have all pulled their...

    Thought I'd start another thread on today's odds

    As someone who gambles frequently, I can honestly say I have never seen odds change so much in a game in such a short amount of time. At 8:30, everyone had Purdue -1. At 10:30, ISU was favored by 1, and Ceasar's pulled it off their board. I just checked again, and Ceasar's, MGM and Staions...

    NCAA WBB - ISU vs Syracuse

    5 threes in the first 5 minutes is unconscious!! I'll name drop here :D, but I had the pleasure of watching this with Mary Cofield, while we were both watching our daughters play BB today. Had a TV in the lobby with the game on. Mary still a great representative of ISU. One of us always is...

    Now Ceasars has us off the board. Another change must be coming?

    *** Official #16 IOWA STATE Vs #15 Purdue Game(Day) Thread ***

    I said earlier that I thought the committee wanted to see a Kansas/ISU matchup in KC for attendance and ratings. I also think that they really considered us a 4 seed, but made a concession to put us in the Midwest (especially Milwaukee) to reward our late season push...
