Miami or Louisville.....are you kidding me????

[smooth44]

I will take a piece of MIAMI U -8 (buy .5 pt)!!!!!

This line opened as high as 15.5 at some places and is now 8.5!!! Oddsmakers screw up SOMETIMES but not this bad, especially at this stage of the season!! Everywhere I turn it's "Louisville this" and "Louisville that"....here's the bottom line....Louisville is 4-0 and they got here by playing the 99th easiest schedule in the country. Meanwhile, Miami is 4-0 and has played the 20th most difficult schedule in the nation! Oddsmakers love it when the public hypes one team more than the other and they are sucking you in with the line movement making you think you ARE right!! I don't think so!!!! Miami wins 26-13!!!!

Good luck to all!!!:cool:

I am with you on that one! I figure Miami is likely to win by 14-18 points. It's good to see another smooth from NJ on the board!

Good Luck!

I like the pick. I don't like the buying of the 1/2. It's a bad investment. Only once in 80 games has a 8 1/2 point favorite won by 8 points. That's 1.2%. It's costing you 10% to buy the 1/2. Poor investment!

Hey smooth,

I think RU should win, favored by 13... I figure they should win by 8-12 points; doubt they'll cover but I do like them to win straight up. I'll be there getting myself all boozed up to watch this one, I'll sober up during the game, and then drink some more afterwards!

I'm not going to try to break your habit.

I will state the following:

It's hard enough beating this game with 52.4% winners. Assuming you always buy the hook and 50% of your wagers have the hook. Now you have to hit approx. 54%. Buying off or on 3 will cost an additional 20 cents.

Buying the 1/2 point with some lines is a very wise investment.

I am totally aware of all the statistics but feel that the .20 cents is money well spent even if it only saves my ass ONCE!
