KU betting lines

[vegashawk]

KU currently +750 to win it all. Trailing Duke and UK. K-State 100/1

[Mjl]

That means you bet 100 to win 750?
I'd bet that.

[Deleted User 57]

Mjl - Yes.
I would not being that some sites are supposedly giving +800 (and some only +650).
I just checked and Bovada is/was actually giving +850.
Regardless if it's +650, +750, or +850, if you were to take KU, you have to then decide if it's a good or bad idea to take another team (or two or three) at better than +500 odds as well.
Another question you pretty much have to ask yourself is if you take KU at +750 (or better) and God forbid KU doesn't make it to the Final Four - will you try to sort of hedge yourself after the fact?

KU -5 vs MSU
Whose bets can I place?

[TDub]

I think we cover. By 1 or 2. But not betting it

[Deleted User 75]

I'd take MSU all day +5, but I think we should win. I'd say we're about 65%ish to win the game in my mind.

has anyone seen an over/under yet? All I can find is a spread, and I need the o/u to calculate a score prediction for GTS

[Deleted User 183]

73 - As of yesterday it was 156 on Bovada.

My worthless prediction is KU covers the 5.5 or loses straight up.
Which means KU will win but not cover.

Money pouring in on KU. Now -6.

Money also pouring in in UK. Was -1 now -2

[vegashawk]

KU -23 and -12.5 first half. First half bet more enticing to me.

KU -23 and -12.5 first half. First half bet more enticing to me.

150 for the over/under is fairly conservative. If I was a betting man I'd bet the over on that one.

[Jayhawks14]

I ended up going Vermont +22.5 and over 150 yesterday, worked out really nice. Also bought 2 on KSU/Denver under 141 and Utah +10.5. 2-0 on college games this year can’t wait to watch it go south!

[vegashawk]

IMO there is a lot of money to be made with 2nd half bets.

[vegashawk]

KU -22 same as Vermont. I have a feeling this game will play out a bit differently.

[Jayhawks14]

KU -21.5, under 161.5 tonight, book it

[Deleted User 75]

KU -21.5, under 161.5 tonight, book it

Thanks for nothing!

[Jayhawks14]

How in the hell could anyone have predicted that crap. Better nights coming ahead!

[vegashawk]

KU -9 vs Marquette

KU -21.5, under 161.5 tonight, book it

Have to chime in with my honest worthless opinion.
I'm confident that 50% of the time when someone posts their "book it" in terms of their gambling prediction/s - they are wrong.
Pretty sure I mentioned this on the other site, a guy named Doug (I called him Dougie Stale) that I worked with at the CBOE would come to work pretty much every day and say a particular team was "the lock of the year" and/or "book it".
I swear if he wasn't, it sure seemed he was wrong 80% of the time. I would tell him you can't be wrong 80% of the time if you tried. I have no idea how he did it.

Going forward - I challenge anyone on here to pick every KU game with the spread and either be right 80% of the time or be wrong 80% of the time and I will buy them a KU Basketball T-Shirt for as far as this team goes this season. Hopefully a National Championship shirt.

[vegashawk]

80% is impossible. The pros aim for anything over 56%. Change your 80% to 60%. 65% if you are feeling particularly frisky.
