    Rhode Island +17 @ betlegends 


    I have seen the line at 16 and 16.5 @ other books. Why is this line so high? What am I missing? I laid 110 to win 100 on it so far and I'm thinking about laying a few more units on it. 

    It seems really trappy and I can't resist. Thoughts and opinions would be highly appreciated. Thank you ladies and gentlemen.

    I'm on URI as well this evening. I think they can hang tough. 17 is too much in my opinion. Good luck with your bets.

    The refs really helped st.mary's out in the last 5 minutes - dispicable calls - I think it was fixed somewhat - I bet Northern Iowa against st.mary's last time and that game was a shocker and I knew it would be - northern iowa looked like a turd in there previous 3-4 games - scoring pretty much less then 50 points a game and St.Mary's blew out the team they played before that game. Since St.Mary's was such a high spread at -16.5 tonight  - i don't think to many people felt confident taking st.mary's by so much including me. The refs were so brutal in the last five minutes of the game - Rhode Island was hanging around 14-17 points and then the refs put there whistles away on blatent fouls against st.mary's - it was so bad rhode island's coach got a technical even though he knew the game was pretty much out of reach he still wanted obvious calls. The technical was the refs trifecta, and put the spread safetly away for Vegas House Money! That game had stink written all over it - i was worried a bit betting rhode island but they had the shooters and stats to hang with at least 10-12 points - thinking that this game might be a house money move by vegas. I bet thinking that even with house money ref help - the rams still had enough to cover - someone stated that St.Mary's was to much chalk and it totally was had the refs made fair calls at the end - the rams would have covered by 14-16 points - instead of losing by 23.

    It was the last game on my 4 team parlay. I lost I admit but Im just letting you guys know what I saw. Same with football when you see eye poppingly bad calls. you know if they can screw up a game that has no logical reseasoning of the then eventual result - you know vegas has there hands in certain games here and there - not all games are fixed, but when you see ludacris things you question stuff. I try to be on the side of the fix and I am fairly successful. But sometimes you get the sharp end of the fix and it don't feel very nice. It's hilarious when you call a fix and it goes your way as well. So nothing really to complain about - I am just very observant of pointspreads and funny calls or non calls favouring Vegas's side of the money.

    It was the last game on my 4 team parlay. I lost I admit but Im just letting you guys know what I saw. Same with football when you see eye poppingly bad calls. you know if they can screw up a game that has no logical reseasoning of the then eventual result - you know vegas has there hands in certain games here and there - not all games are fixed, but when you see ludacris things you question stuff. I try to be on the side of the fix and I am fairly successful. But sometimes you get the sharp end of the fix and it don't feel very nice. It's hilarious when you call a fix and it goes your way as well. So nothing really to complain about - I am just very observant of pointspreads and funny calls or non calls favouring Vegas's side of the money.

    There are also refs in college basketball that are also NFL Refs. Nobody really talks about it cause it just seems like a oh just a coiencedence. But this stuff is all available for wager. Jerome Boger was assualted by Cam Newton last weekend. Jerome Boger over the last few years the games he's refed have ended in house money results is a proven fact!
