Exactly! I feel 80% is as close to impossible as can be. That's what blew my mind in terms of the guy I knew.

Here is a somewhat interesting stat in regards to me and "professional" gamblers.
The first couple of weeks I picked the college football games on this site I was not good at all. Sub .500.
The last 4 weeks I picked the top 25 (+KU & Northwestern) I went 44-25 (minus 2 pushes) which = 63.768%
Overall I went 60-46 which = 56.666%
I sincerely believe if I were to pick 10 games at random each week I would win 56% or more/better of them.

Back to KU hoops. If I had to pick tonight I would take KU -8.5 - and as I alluded to earlier, I probably have a better than 50% chance of being wrong.

For those that have access to in game betting, I find there can be some real values there. When the Chiefs were trailing in the 1st quarter I got the Chiefs +8.5. Kickoff was Chiefs +3.

I have done the in game betting via bovada a few times for NFL and NBA. It's super entertaining, plus you get to get a feel for how each team is playing while betting.

Wolford -15.5. Better team than Stanford (-20) or the oddsmakers are getting wiser?

Wofford just may be a better team that Stanford.
Statistically they are a lot better and if this makes any difference - they played UNC closer than Stanford did.

Sounds about right.

11am start makes me nervous. It feels like we always struggle with early games.

Aside from at TT, any games we won't be the betting favorite?

Maybe @ Kentucky?
The ISU line I bet will be something like -3 KU.
