UConn -7.5

[whaler11]

Leave her at the bowling alley--let's face it she'd prefer that--and I will take her seat at the XL.

Is 8 old enough to stay home alone?

Kids today so soft.

Wife is in India. I’ve got daughter. She HATES going. So I’m going to try and trick her by taking her bowling in Plainville and then just stopping in Hartford on way home.

I do have to monitor the ECU game for the good people at boneyardbanter too.

I will be definitely game tracking ECU at XL during 2nd half. First game without Lebo I hope they come out energized

With my 11 year old watching her, sure.

Thinking about it. Wife is at work and I have some honey-dos and errands with two of the girls; need to see where I am supposed to be and when.

What's your deal?

We aren’t worshipping at the altar of gambling.

It’s pretty simple: If the market spits out UConn -8 just picture a bell curve with UConn -8 the most likely result and the tails moving away from UConn -8.

You don’t know better than the market. If you did you’d be able to become quite wealthy with just that simple knowledge.

Monmouth is +345 on the money line. A pretty simple estimate of their chance to win is 100/(ml+100).

In this case thats 100/445=~22%.

To do it for a favorite it’s money line/money line + 100.

UConn is -410.

410/(410+100)=~80%.

You can drill down more precisely if you take the time to remove the vig but it doesn’t change the answers much.

Or just keep arrogantly posting dumb things. Your call.

Man, what's next, a dissertation? What a pathetic post.

I don't care. Man, what's next, a dissertation? What a pathetic post.

Whaler is like rainman with figures. Don’t mess with him dude.

No worries. Thanks for the thought. I may still head up. Will text you if I do.

Definitely do that

You are right - any attempt at helping you understand anything is a pathetic waste of time.

Certainly the guy who gave us thousands of passionate words defending Penn State is an expert at defining pathetic.

Keep up that special combination of arrogance and stupidity. It's a delightful mixture.

 

[Jerry1714]

You guys take it so seriously that a comment about an optimistic line has your knees jerking so hard to defend the handicappers. It is pathetic and hilarious that an offhand comment about the line would have you reverting to that.

So you make an incorrect stupid comment, you are told you are wrong, and then you respond by calling the people pathetic that they took your incorrect stupid comment seriously. Man your Tom Brady blow up doll must have popped, you are not in a good mood today

Help me understand what? I dont give a damn about no-lifes getting hard over vig. I'm a sportsfan, not a gambling fan. You're pathetic.

All you gambling and fantasy sports people missed the plot long ago. You can't even tell an offhand sarcastic comment because you are in constant knee-jerk mode when it comes to Vegas and gambling. It's pathetic.

If you just said, "good point...my bad", this thread would have been 1 page shorter and you would have looked much better...

You're embarrassing yourself in this thread. I cringe at your posts. Go home.

If you really believe that I think the Vegas people are totally unaware of what's going on, you'd have a point.

Well then, stop acting like you believe it...

You can’t understand simple arithmatic can you? That’s why you are so angry?

Hahahaha. Btw moran you realize this thread has a point spread in the title right?

Can’t handle math, reading not a strong point... were you Pal’s home ec professor?

Arithmetic has nothing do with anything here.

Your knee-jerked so bad when someone knocked Vegas that you went straight into nerd and green visor mode.

Everyone knows Vegas is filled with a bunch of fantasy-sport freaks like you, everyone knows what you felt I needed to know, and it's pathetic you go to math to try to disprove a sarcastic offhand remark.

Fantasy sports freaks? What in the world are you talking about. I don’t give a damn about fantasy sports and dont even know what CBB fantasy you could be referencing.

I like how your stupidity is now ‘sarcasm’.
