College Hoops...YTD 97-70-5 +22.5 Units 58%
Clemson -6.5 (-120)

Posting early because you can catch Clemson at -7 right now.
I bought it down to 6.5 for two reasons,... I hate to push, and I feel like 6.5 is a pretty key number in basketball.
Everyone should be fine with the -7, I have it capped at 15.
This game is very similar to the Louisville (-6.5) line last night in which the oddsmakers and public were undervaluing the favorite I had Louisville as a 14.5 point favorite. (They went on to win by 15)

This was my favorite line this morning and seeing the line drop makes me happy, I have had a ton of success betting against line movement this season.

May add one or two plays later, but want you guys to get this one while the extra value is still there.

ditto. I got 1 unit on 94.5 and 2 units on 96. I'm not buying again

I want the Pacers 1H under but would really like an extra 1/2 point there

And I locked in Clemson -7

Both times the Pacers and Bobcats met, the 1H went under...

I'm gonna end up talking myself into this one by tip.

Honestly I think you still have plenty of value on anything under 8.5, I just like taking every extra point I can get, especially in college basketball where the end of a game you can get meaningless swings from the free throw line quite regularly.

Also noticed that the line has went back up to 7.5 on a few books, I don't think I am the only one who has been monitoring that line today.

If the 1H line is dropping, why aren't the quarters?

Nothing about the 1H total makes any sense.

The Nets are BY FAR the team with the largest discrepancy between 1H points and 2H points in the NBA, yet they have the 2H being a higher total than the 1H (based on the full-game total), and the Q totals add up to much more than the H total.

I've really never seen anything like it. It makes zero sense.

Final Card
College Hoops...YTD 97-70-5 +22.5 Units 58%
Plays
Clemson -6.5 (-120) (1.5x)

Leans
Indiana -10.5 (0.5 Units)
James Madison +8 (0.5 Units)

- I upgraded Clemson because I feel pretty damn strong about the game.
- Indiana the line value is not great but I think they win by double digits pretty easily.
- James Madison was the only dog my system seemed to like today, so I will toss them in as a lean as well.
- I can not figure out why the line is so low on the Notre Dame game, I capped the game at ND -13 on both systems, but I don't bet sides that seem too good to be true, this line definitely fits that mold.
- Eastern Michigan my original system likes them here at home (I have them as a Top 25 Home Court Advantage in both of my systems), but my more sophisticated matchup system thinks they are pretty much outmatched in every facet of the game, so I am staying away.

Can't find any ML's I really love that I would play.
Really like Creighton but -700 is too high for me. Ole Miss I like but it depends on how all the earlier bets go
