Attention gambling gurus.

Is there a statistical breakdown of how .5 affects a college or NFL game in either direction?

For instance, -3 vs. -3.5
-7 vs. -6.5

How much are you giving up or gaining by getting the .5 less or more on the standard scores?

I don't have it in front of me right now, but if memory serves, the difference between 3 and 3.5 is something like 35 cents (-110 to -145). 7 to 7.5 is something like 15 cents. 2.5 to 3 and 6.5 to 7 are also pretty important half points. The others are more insignificant, but still not valueless. I'll try to find the chart.

I think the .5 in a betting line means that a team that's favored by 3.5 points needs to win by 4 for you to win money at the window. The point spreads in football, for instance, are set by the way the public tends to put the money and will go up and down depending on how much $$$$ is wagered on both sides. For instance, if the Packers are favored to beat the Bears September 13th by 3 points at the start of the week, and if there's a lot of $$$$ on the Bears, the spread will likely move towards Chicago. If there's more $$$$ on the Packers, the number will likely go higher towards Green Bay. One thing's for sure...That half point hook will get you every time.

If you don't venture into the WAGERING section you would have missed this one.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

... except the night I dropped my pants and then loudly proclaimed I was the Whore of Babylon and demanded more wine, but that's another story.

I am in the urination, puking, drunk, yelling zone.

I once jerked in a chicken truck, so I have that going for me.

Not exactly...It's a radiothon in which the SCORE hopes to raise money for prostate cancer research. I haven't heard ANY of the SCORE hosts even mention this event...

rpb is wrong. Phil McCracken is useful.

RPB is right. You suck.

I bet someone's prostate is enjoying this...

I dont see any attitude or bite, just information that you read on other web sites & post here like you think are the Robert Feder of the Internets, but without the interesting nuggets & tidbits.

John Kirk told SHARK to "bite this!"



KirkBite!!!!

That might be the funniest, or maybe the stupidest thing I've ever typed on this message board...

I rarely troll.

I don't want to get on Larz's bad side, but that Web site is compelling & rich...

Not a chance...SHARK's brother, a Chicago Police officer, wouldn't let me hear the end of it...I have everyone's back here, and try NOT to stab anymore in the back anywhere else I post.

It's not just average people that are losing their homes to foreclosure. Before he passed away this summer, Ed McMahon's mansion was said to be facing it.

Warren Sapp's a pretty good NFL analyst on the NFL Network, but his cell phone is bad enough to warrant a trip to "The Shack". He was on briefly yesterday on "The Dan Patrick Show", and the usually mild-mannered D.P. was really annoyed and wanted Sapp to call back on another line. Warren ended up rescheduling due to lack of cell quality.

SHARK calls it as he sees it, and it might be time for an all new thread.

Damn. I'm thoroughly stumped. You may have won this round SHARK, but I'll get you next time...

I thought that was part of the idea, OKC...

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

Wait... it's part of the idea to simply repeat what you hear?

Im pretty hammered right now.

Ha! Oh man, you know what? Sounds like what the mysterious "Dr. Claw" always said on "Inspector Gadget", circa 1983, at the end of every episode...
