-7 means we're favored, right?
And someone who has seen us play is laying points?
Gimme the points please.

Except for their 6'10" starter who pulls down double doubles like its nothing. Our "big" guys might get a double double to though, if you count turnovers and missed FTs

Now now adam, be careful. You might be labeled a Negative Nancy, like me.

Like I've never praised anybody, ever. What a crock.

Others can piss all over this team and coach and not get any complaints, but if I do it, I get jumped on.

Too bad. Deal with it.

I don't like hypocrites. At all.

Rhody -7, who's taking what?

The fact that I don't know the lineup hurts, but this will be the last time I take Rhody with any points if they burn me tonight.

Gulp. I'm Rhody -7

uri -7

I'll take Rhody -7

Up to Rhody -9.5 on my side. Huge point change leads me to believe a bunch of sharp bettors jumped on Rhody early. I'll trust them. Will take Rhody -7

For the sake of the board, Rhody -7 all the way. However, if this line continues to balloon up to the 11 or 12 range, I'd be an Asheville guy with an actual betting ticket.

Rhody -7

count me in for Rhody

skclayramsfan wrote:count me in for Rhody

This line is really fishy. I think Rhody wins but doesn't cover.

I'll take UNCA to cover and hope I'm wrong.

OK call me crazy but i've already changed my mind guys. I'm gonna bet the +9.5, this team is already battle tested against Duke, Kentucky, College of Charleston, Norfolk State THIS YEAR!! Their stats are deflated because they've played against great times. I see us having a hard time winning by 9.5

for the contest in the tread it's URI -7

Alright. Perhaps some confusion would be avoided if we started a new thread for betting on College Basketball in general, and then one for this contest where we bet specifically on URI at one given spread?

Glad to lose that one!

there should be a line for tomorrow's game as soon as ESPN and the betting sites realize there is a game. (There was 1 for the McNeese St and ECU game tonight)

-10.5

Taking Rhody tonight.

I bet play money against us and we play our best game.
OK, I'll take the points again.

I'll take Rhody again. Really no excuse not to win this game by double digits

I'm on uri again

Welcome again to the newbies that joined up.

As for a line on McNeese St - the line I have is Rhody -17. This is a HUGE discrepancy from wherever you got the -10.5. No way the line jumped that far this quick...where'd you see that?

I'm holding off launching these picks until we figure out what's what.

I am seeing -17 everywhere as well.

it opened at 17 pretty much across the board (line history for like 9 different sites) http://www.sbrforum.com/betting-odds/nc ... 55-spread/

Yeah my site says 17.5 also. I knew 10.5 was a little too easy

I'll take URI -17, they are terrible

Pretty sure it was on cbssports.com this morning.
It's 17 now.
That makes my wager easier!

Alright so we're settled. Line is Rhody -17.5

I'll be taking our boys to win by what is hopefully a score of 80 something to 50 something

It definitely opened at -10.5 and I feel like you should get that if you made your pick before it was updated. But everyone taking the same line is fairer for the contest, so I'll stick with Rhody laying the points.

still on rhody

cbssports isn't a gambling website though. can't trust whatever they're saying the line is until there's a verified line by a site/casino that would actually take your money on it.

From every site that I've seen/use/my buddies use it opened at 17. It's up to 18 currently.

Can't think vegas or anyone in their right mind sets a line between an A-10 team (no matter what we say about their under-performace) against a team that hasn't even contended in a D1 game yet this season.

Ill still take Rhody -17.5

I'll take Rhody and give the 17.5

maybe Blue Man should start a thread for each game setting the line with the standings, that way the line for each game is clear.

I think you can keep the responses to this thread - We probably don't need a separate gambling thread for each game. I'd say to just wait until Blue Man says the line for each game, since his source seems to be a bit more accurate.

I'll take Rhody.

Point taken.
If I happen to be the first to spot a line in the future, I'll post a disclaimer with it.

I have no problem with someone else posting the line - but I tend to trust BetUS and covers.com. Those come from Vegas, and that's where I put my money so I figure that's more legitimate.

I'll try to get on early the day of the game and as soon as I see it open I'll post it.

So ignoring the fact that we couldn't cover against literally the worst "D-1" basketball team these eyes have ever seen...this is what today looks like....and shocker, no one saw us not being able to cover this line.

Welcome to the show RhodyMob.

I'll expect an interesting line on saturday, and equally interesting responses. Happy turkey day everybody!

I had it, but only cuz i bet against us the previous nite and we won.

George mason favored by 8 1/2 ???? I think this the best uri bet of the season. Uri gm should be toss up on neutral court give mason 3 to 4 for home court no way 8 with new starting line up for us.

I'm seeing 9.5 now

I'm seeing that too Twisted. Personally think this thing is a 3-5 point game either way. No matter who wins, I think we stay within that range. Both teams have been a bit sloppy as of late, should be a close one IMO.

Vegas has 7.5 but my online site has 9.5. We'll go 9.5 because that's what im going to play.

I said I wouldnt...but im taking rhody +9.5
