Am I the only unlucky SOB that got this game at E. Mich -10?????

*** Posted Buffalo +10 maybe you 2 use the same book.

[Monkey-Boy]

everywhere I looked the line was 9 to 9-1/2. I need to stop using these local a##holes and go offshore!

[wayne1218]

That is the only way to go these jokers that are local pump the favorites up 1/2 a point knowing the public likes to bet favorites!

[Monkey-Boy]

those bastards!

The nice part offshore you can buy a hook to help yourself. If
Eastern Michigan was - 9 1/2 tonight, you could have bought it down a 1/2 to -9 or pushed it up to +10 if you were on Buffalo.
I'm not sure whats the most out there that you can buy up or down. Wayne could probably give some insight on that question.

i'm going offshore!

And of course some people always seem to get the extra 1/2-1 point when posting their plays. Sail away Monkey boy! There are good books out there offshore. A lot of people in the forum can give good advice as to which ones are good

I can either buy up to 3 points or sometimes the better way to go is the moneyline no spread just pick the winner at a higher price.......there are 1000 more advantages using an offshore book! monkey-boy you really should go that way but of course some people hate it cause you have to put the money up front but it keeps you out of trouble and from chasing that way too!
