Hey guys if there are 100 college teams, that means 500 starters in hoops, HOW MANY OF THE 500 DO YOU THINK WAGER ON OR AGAINST THERE TEAM?? How many have connections to a college campus bookie?? I think the ratio if we could find out would drive you crazy!! Wonder how many college kids have offshore accounts,lol?? Tens of thousands probably!!

HTRC,
If so many know the lines on their games do you think it would effect the outcome even though they don't gamble??<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Yeah I do, lets say all week the players on Team A hear that they are 9 point pick vs Team B although their focus is and should be squarely on the game I believe that inevitably during the last few minutes of a game they have in hand the thought does cr0ss their minds. Its a product of the maturing process as well.
It doesn't help that the student body is yelling out the point spread as well in the final minute or minutes.

What, exactly, are you saying about the V-Tech/Rutgers game? You sure seemed to have the inside scoop on the Rutgers/Syracuse game.

If you have no $, then you can't afford to lose any $. And you don't "KNOW" that your team is going to win.

I have had many many friends who have played major college ball. I was told that the FBI comes in every year before the season starts to lecture them about the problems that they will have if they are caught gambling. I know that those lectures had a serious impact on my friends who played ball. They all didn't do it. I am sure, however, that many others ignore the lectures and do it anyway. I bet it's not as far reaching as people may think it is.
