Cal Poly+1.5

YTD 26-17

This line stinks.! 5 pts given for home court, inferior record, similar competition, same travel circumstances essentially. 
And they opened as a slight fave on the road? Just like Lindenwood at NIU Monday.

LVSC knows something we don’t. Take Cal Poly and the 1.5.

NIU game wasn't like this one. NIU opened as 5 point faves, climbed to 7 and then back down to -3 1/2

I need cal poly to win to finish a 6 teamer. I’m not gonna Hegde will let it ride. 
pretty confident on it

Poly and the over 178

 I’m talking about Northern Illinois Lindenwood. Game closed at 3.5. Line made know sense and opening at 7 if that’s what it was sounds correct.

Fact it closed at less than 2 buckets with the circumstances and schedule made no sense. Trap! I think we’re saying the same thing?

5 points for home court? Lol what? 

@Ravensfan2k3

 That’s how many pts are awarded to the home team in cbb in regards to the spread. Sometimes more or less depending on circumstances like if students are on break etc…, conference game. Normally 3.5-6.5 pts off the bat.

Gambling 101 but you failed to identify the context of what I was saying and hyper focused on citing something you weren’t aware of and came off looking dumb.

I was saying in a game that is 2 equal teams where the team should be catching 5 opened laying 1.5 is a trap line.

I never knew that, good info 

@nattyorange

 Np, cbb it’s always baked into the line. As an example if team A is at home -5 over team B. 
Team B would be -5 at their place over team A if nothing circumstantial changed.

Theoretically that’s a 10 pt swing.

On a neutral site the game would be a pick em

@Noonball

Gnite y’all. This one is cashed! Smelled a rat, gotta let my friends aware!

@Noonball

 I used to follow Sagarin ratings when he was doing it still and 3 pts was awarded to home court 

@Yabbo1979

 lvsc, ie the linesmakers have always said 3.5-6.5 depending upon circumstances.

Sorry you didn’t tail in the other thread. Better luck next game.

For what's it's worth I always value home court 4-5 points . Bolta 

@beats723

You obviously know this. You’re sharp! This is day 1 knowledge and LVSC are on record stating they assign 3.5-6.5 with the median being 4.7.

Getting hot again! 28-19 YTD!

Great job 

Nice call!

@Noonball

 No worries man. Been at this off and on for 20 years and never knew that. You know what you're doing and you're record speaks for itself. I don't usually tail but do read these threads for tidbits on teams and games that I just don't know about as college bball has so many teams. Have a great day.
