Take Georgia Tech and the points

[griswold]

5 1/2 is simply too many points to lay. The other two final four games were decided by 1 and 2 points. The nature of these games is that they tend to go down to the wire.

Further, Georgia Tech has an ability to take teams out of their normal games. Because they are not a reputation type team, they have been overlooked all year. UConn's comeback against Duke was impressive and UConn clearly has the best player in the game, but the fact is that Duke outplayed thm most of the game.

UConn probably wins but the likelihood of the game being decided by 5 or fewer points is, I think, very high.

For what it's worth, I laid the -130 and bought it to +6 1/2.

If 5.5 is too many to lay, why in the world would you pay an extra 20% to get 6.5? :confused:

Because he is taking the dog and wants plus 6.5 instead of plus 5.5.

Buying points

Normally, buying points is a rip but too many final four games over the year have been close. My biggest play of the tournament was on Oklahoma State -2 1/2 against St. Joe's. Ok State won but only by 2. I don't want to lose by a 1/2 point again. In tonight's game, I think it is very unlikely that UConn will win by more than six.
