The fact that the game hasn't gone off the board and there hasn't been a huge line movement since is making me start to second guess myself. |

I really like the way Lou has been playing lately, D has been solid all year and their offense has really come on in the 2nd half of the season once Bridgewater got a handle on the system. I was pretty impressed watching them go on the road and move the ball with ease against a SoFla defense that had just completely shut down Miami in coral gables. This NC state team's impressive win against Clemson was a huge letdown spot for the tigers after clinching a spot in the ACC title game and it was basically the wolfpack's superbowl. A team that lost to BC can lose to anybody, so no one can say the wofpack are a lock. I definitely lean with LOU here, but not a strong play. Just my two cents. |

I just watched the Xavier kids at the press conference and loved it

I work in a pharmacy in NC, and the amount of people who are medicaid and are the biggest ***holes on the planet. With that being said, it doesn't have to do with anything directly with the fight, but it just shows where some of these gangstas come from and how SOME don't appreciate what they are given. It makes me sick. The value of the "free rides" that players at schools like Xavier and Cincinatti get is worth a small fraction of what they would get paid on the open market for the revenue they generate for their schools, their conferences, and the NCAA as a whole. They generate this revenue through their unique talent and a lot of hard work. I'm not saying this justifies the actions of the players in the fight in any way, but if there's a group of people who should just "appreciate what they're given" similar to a medicaid recipient, it's not them. |

Do they think I'm fixing games or something? Obviously its gonna even out to an extent. |

Just logged on to beted.com a couple of days after cashing some money out. After I logged in, I saw a screen saying "management has made a decision that your maximum bet allowed is $1 this decision is final". I called customer service, talked to two people, and all they would do is say "its management's decision, its final". No warning, no explanation. What a piece of sh*t sportsbook. Stay as far away as possible.

Is it just me? Or is there absolutely no value on the board tonight?

Really scratching my head at this o/u of 114 for this game. Princeton's highest scoring ivy league game has been 109 (twice) against harvard and penn. I watched the penn game on tuesday and the teams combined for 16 points in the final minute (exchanging free throws and three pointers) to get the total that high. I know yale is bad defensively, but against bad defensive teams princeton tends to build a lead then slow the game down even more than usual. On the other side of the ball, yale is 2nd to harvard in the league in possessions per game and way below them in points per possession. Harvard managed all of 53 points against princeton, and that was on their home court, so you'd have to figure yale would be hardpressed to get more than 45 here. Oh yea, and these teams just played to a total of 103 about a month ago. I really thought that after 7 straight unders to start conference play the oddsmakers would adjust to princeton, but seems like they haven't. Princeton under 114 LARGE

I was ridiculously hungover this morning when I took minn +12. After watching that abortion of a game, I go to lock in my 3:30 bets and I notice I have $100 more in my account than I expected to. I look at my betting history and see that I had minn +12.5. Then I thought back and remembered that the line had changed from 12 to 12.5 in the time between when I selected minnesota and when I confirmed it, but since I was basically seeing double at the time I had totally forgotten. For a mush, that's some pretty amazing luck. I'm pretty sure I have mich st +3 an miss -5 for 3:30. |

what an insane first half. At the start of the game Idaho cant get an inch in the run game or 2 seconds of pass protection and Nevada looks like they're playing against air on offense. Then a few big plays and a couple stops by idaho and all of the sudden a 21-0 game becomes 28-24. Wouldn't be surprised to see idaho lose by 20+ or win outright, but one thing is for sure...the over was the smart play in this one. GO VANDALS!

Also, nevada's strength is their running game while Idaho's strength is it's run d. I like the matchup here I think I'm pullin the trigger

I know nevada has waxed them traditionally, but I think Idaho looks pretty solid this year. They have impressive wins against No. Ill and col st (who beat nevada) this year and only one loss. I was thinking they should be able to keep it close this year. However, that line opened at 12.5 and moved all the way up to 16. What am I missing here.

Iowa/Ill over 114, getting good value here because here because of the stinker ILL put up against minnesota, but they still avg 70 ppg at home, this will probably be a slower pace than normal, but i think ill should still be good for at least 65, so if iowa can stay within 15, it should go over
