    Default Heard a rumor, books will offer no CBB totals this year

    Rumor in the grapevine is that CBB totals will only be offered on TV games with a microscopic limit.

    It will be the same as last year.

    Real bookmakers (bookmaker and greek) will have them on every game with lower limits in the early season (pinnacle will copy with $100 limits -- they might as well not have them). By the mid-conference season every book will have them and limits will be higher

    Agree with Durito, I think that is the way it will play out as well. CRIS and The Greek, last two of a dying breed (guys who can set their own numbers).

    The rumor no doubt stems from the fact that Edward of RAS has announced he's not starting his total service til December 1. He has been very profitable in November, so people read between the lines that he doesn't expect a market (or at least a liquid market) to be offered in November.

    Silly Rumour. Books will have totals just like every season on NCAA Bball.

    Same shit different year...all crap. Rest easy totals will be offered to lose on

    you really think they make money off of them?

    Books lose more on college bball totals then any other aspect of any other sport. By far the most beatable # out there.

    I remember this game my first grade teacher would have us play back in the day. She'd have all of the kids sit around in a big circle and start off whispering to one kid, "Little Sally sure is pretty today with her yellow dress and pink hair ribbon." That kid would then repeat what they heard to the next kid in the circle and on around until the end when the final kid would repeat something like, "Sally caught Jimmy wearing his sister's yellow dress and jerking off into his grandmother's Sunday bonnet."

    Ok, it didn't end up quite like that when we were 7-yrs old, but I figure something similar is how this rumor got started. Some linesman somewhere made some comment like, "We probably won't offer totals on a lot of early season games, and we won't have any overnight totals until January." And it has eventually become NO TOTALS AT ALL.

    There maybe totals on the main card but don't be surprised to see 0.60 spread.

    Definitely no added board until January 1.

    tell your friend Mike that I am willing to bet him $5000 on books to still offer totals on cbb this season...let me know if he will accept it. I will fly over to where your friend is on the day cbb season start to collect the money.

    both games moved 8pts off open from bookmaker

    These limits get softer every year since UIGEA. Sad that it has had this kind of impact.

    IF the big sportsbooks have limited action on the totals then the little ones will be scared as sh***t to put them on I am thinking of the uk based sportbooks
