any thoughts on a play here, i seem to be getting a 1 to 1.5 pt swing. i see most ppl here at 8.5 & 9.

should i lay -130 and take it to 11??

I posted a long writeup why St Mary's is my Special Play tonight. There are also threads started by other good capers here with their take on the game. As to buying a point from 10 to 11 for -20 cents, maybe in football but never in basketball. Go back and look at final scores in NCAA basketball to see how many games ended with a 10 or 11 point win. I would think a lot less than the games that end with a 1, 2 or 3 point win.

I have bought the hook to get a line up or down from 1 thru 3 but why would you spend that much extra juice to buy numbers that don't hit very often. Hope you see my logic.

20 cents...you put $5 on it??

-110 vig to -130 vig = 20 cents

20 cent difference in juice for buying the point.

What are you trying to say. All I'm saying is he can lay -110 at plus 10 or lay -130 at +11. The difference in the juice is 20 cents.

well i got them at 12 -130

i dont buy points much, hardly ever in baskets but with the line climbing i took a shot

they took the ml down after it hit 10.5
