Anyone here see the end of that game? Spread is ten, up 8 with 4 secs left and instead of running out the clock you run down the court for a score. College Basketbal is fixed.
College hoops isn't fixed, it's just that the lines are very tight. Nobody should have ever laid 10 in that game. 8 and 8.5 was available most of the day. If I liked UCLA in that game and I wasn't able to buy early or mid-day at the best numbers, I would have passed. The best bettors won or pushed that game...UCLA bettors won with -8 or 8.5 and Stanford bettors pushed with +10. Never ever buy a single digit side at 2 points worse than the opener. Watching and anticipating line moves is critical to success. Astute buying of the best lines is important. This was one of those games where it mattered. I know that alot of people aren't able to bet early in the day or watch line moves. I'm not always able to either. But understanding the cost of not doing that is important. One of the hardest things for people to do is to NOT bet a game when they can't get it at a good number. That discipline is very important and makes the difference in about 5 games out of 100.
