on the over or under?

Even if he wasn't reffing this game you have to take the over. Two teams that play zero defense. Total went over last time they played each other though so beware.

I had Michigan -2 yesterday (I had to take them after offering the line to you guys earlier in the week), so it was almost a lose-lose for me if Michigan would have only won by 1. I was, in a sense, hedging my losses as a fan. If UT won, and I was out 100, I wouldn't really care. If UT lost, but I still won 100, at least I got something out of it. The bet ended up pushing, so it was more of a sense of relief, mixed in with the joy of it actually turning out to be a great finish. How they ended that game on a charge inside of 10 seconds is beyond me. When you have two big men playing down low, one of them a potential NBA player, you have to let them play. I digress.

I almost took Florida at -10 tonight, but I thought better of taking the line even like that, and bought it down to 9.5 just in case. I think I'm going to buy at least half a point from now on. Maybe there's a general rule that would call that thought dumb, but I feel like I always miss out on a great line or parlay because I took the line just a half a point too big, or not a half a point enough. (Using the Florida example, I would have left it at 10 instead of betting up to -9.5 or down to +9.5).

Anyway, it paid off.

Yeah, whenever there's a hook I almost always buy up unless numbers show it doesn't really make a difference. I had Dayton +10 and Dayton +10.5.

That last garbage time bucket

People say you should never buy the hook cause you spend more in juice over time but I think that's bullshyt considering how many times I've been burned by half points.

I don't mind giving up a few dollars to save a lot of dollars

sometimes that "SO CLOSE" feeling is worth avoiding

buhleedat. I knew that spread was sharp as hell though. Numers had it falling on 11, and so far this tourney virtually every spread has been right around the number.

I figured some bullshyt would happen at the end though like that, but sometimes it's better to be on the right side of bullshyt.

I bought Florida down to 9.5

I prefer to buy numbers depending on where they fall and how I feel about the game. I've found it works better for me. Makes the break even point higher but I'm able to overcome that when lines are sharp.

HOFFENHEIM

5 in 1 half

damn right breh, they are an auto bet at anything at this point. and maybe you dont know anything about soccer but the team they are playing (bayern munich) are the best team in the world right now, they can score 4 by themselves and probably will today. hope you got on it

I missed out on Hoffenheim twice this week

and all of a sudden Michigan is at +3, wow
