Got Texas -3

[BiffTFinancial]

my book has it at -3, but i was thinking about it. that's still a pretty fat middle and K State has problems shooting FTs. will probably lay off but it's tempting.

[ExposingLines247]

love to know wher 1.5 even existed?

[thebestthereis]

K state wins the game by more than 10. Texas all of a sudden find God? Gl!

[ExposingLines247]

notexas limits the dumb turnovers and makes some layups descent middle here

[MadDog420]

if you can get them at 1.5 I'd take that in a heart beat. Did you see how many layups and bullsh*t shots Texas missed? K-State won't be able to dominate the paint again in the second half and the horns will start making some shots. Don't forget it's also Rick Barnes vs. Frank Martin. A coach who has tons of experience vs. one who is sh*tting his pants up ten against the number one team in the nation. Texas -3.

I like Kansas State to keep up the intensity. I did see something crazy with the total here though. The over/under for the second half opened at 79.5 with my local then went to 82.5 when I refreshed it a second later. I rarely see a movement like this with my local unless its big money. Something to think about...

Took texas -3.5. They are better second half.

Texas is the play for 2H

Awesome guys. 6-0 run to begin the 2nd half. Lets cash this

[Ralphie1412]

If you didnt take texas 2nd half I dont really understand you. Number 1 team in the nation thats a notorious 2nd half team which basically makes them +7. Easy money.

[ACoochy]

Nail biting stuff here, texas down by 7 with 1:21 left on clock

[thebestthereis]

They are not business of giving money away always remember that. Texas was a sucker bet -3, easy doesn't exist. Learning takes time.

Good call there jmathes, knew i should've bought the half point

Yeah, I didn't want to say I told you so but like the poster said above, "Don't fall for the sucker bets." The 2nd half bet should have been much worse had Kansas State made half of those free throws down the stretch they would have won by much more.

Good call there best. Would u say though that on a statistical basis texas 2nd half was the play (ie u can expect to see a positive return if same game was played 100 times over...) as is my opinion....

bad night for texas missed sooooooooooooooooooooooooo many FT

Yeah, bummer huh Think il stay away from 2nd half wagers or just fade myself (2nd half) in future....Just gives extra incentive to take the books for a ride even harder tomorrow

[thebestthereis]

that is who they are, they don't make free throws...not a new concept for them

[thebestthereis]

Coochy I watch the games and look at it as a whole. They are not playing this game 100 times, it is once, that night that time. You have to look at it like that. I expect K State to win this game by 10 or more from the start. Texas being -3 in the 2nd half make me take K State in the 2nd half too cause my prediction was 10 anyway so I have points too. I never bet against the team that is winning the first half. It is the same team or not...unless I am hedging. Teams that win the first half generally win the 2nd too. Nothing is guaranteed but that is the way I bet it. Look it up in both basketball and football it wins way more than it loses.

[shawnjohn5]

I took the under 81 at my book 2nd half... Almost took texas minus 3... GOOD FOR ME BABY!!! Texas minus 3 was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too obvious.
