I was thinking that they will reach 100 points and virginia won't come close...if that makes sense...i just read it and i kinda get it

ur laughing at me? laying7.5 in the 2nd half up 20+ might be a winner, might be a loser, but is a sign of a compulsive degenerate gambler who can't wait til the super bowl. their is no logic behind laying 8 in the 2nd half...ur taking Dukes 2nd team for prob about 10 mins of the game -8 against UV

Duke blew out Maryland because Vasquez was talking shit. Not sure if they will continue to roll here. Look at Louisville yesterday.

u could possibly be right. but DUKE coming off a loss and back at home, virginia should easily lose this game by 20+.

 

[seriousaddiction]

well if they are gonna cover second half you better be sure they will lose by 30+

 

[SC2009]

not lookin so good right now.

Teams have huge lead never play same passion in 2nd half.

that summed it up right there

it lost, but it wasn't a bad bet. people too often think when teams are up huge at HT that they won't cover the 2nd because they won't care and backups will be in.

im sure plays like these win over time, especially if you pick your spots correctly.

Disagree with you. This was a bad bet taking Duke.

Years ago, when i started betting, I would always take teams like Duke and lose a lot more than win.

Even if Duke was up by say 9 or 10 in the 2nd half, I have found a team like UVA would go a 4-0 or 6-0 run to close out games. You see this all the time, a team is clearly better than the opponent, but the 2nd half scoring turns out to be +/- 2 or 3 for either side. Marquette was playing, I believe WCU, this year, up 29 at the the break or something similar. They got outscored by 10 by WCU in the 2nd half.

The effort by the winning team completely disappears. What generally gives a team a huge lead is defense that leads to easy offense. However, in the 2nd Half the defensive effort is nearly gone. I believe Dukes largest lead may have been 26 or 27. Not only do you have to have a 30 point lead and then maintain it with the scrubs late.

If it were any team besides Duke or UNC, the 2nd half line would or should have been -3 or -3.5.
