UConn -16.5 vs. Providence

None of them are getting any coaching. I would gladly take Vaaks, Jones, and Oswin.

Vaaks and Jones, yes. Oswin would get about 5 minutes per game because that’s how fast he would foul out if he played for us.

The closest thing to an auto bet you could find since Mercer!

Yes, eventually you will lose....but so far, it's been pretty easy money and you ride it until it doesn't work anymore

Okay. Let me approach it from a different angle then.

One poster here feels they have an advantage because they know the team and they took UConn to cover because they’re due for a blowout.

The next poster that feels the same advantage because they know the team and takes the points.

Before the game is played, which poster has the advantage they believe they have?

You're right. In that example it's not possible that both bettors actually have an edge.

But that doesn't rule out the possibility that one of them does, regardless of your not knowing which one it is (if either).

The only "edge" appears when the guy who "flipped the coin right" and in retrospect wins his bet.

No one here on this board wins over a 52-53% clip betting UConn over time. No one.

I don't because I emotionally hedge constantly, to my (monetary) detriment.

I guess go under in regular season and over in the postseason?
