Florida just doesn't match up well with this K.Y. team. I think Florida will hang with them for a while being at home and harnessing the energy from the crowd.

But ultimately K.Y. will win by a few baskets and have no problem covering the number.

I will gladly give the 3 and half points on this one

Believe me bro some bets really are that easy. It is just the nature of the game. But you have to put your money down and let them play the game.

Perfectly said don't you think many people think this is a trap. Sometimes we over think

I don't believe in this trap bullshit. The odds makers are always trying to get action on each side as close as possible.

Now a trap in this case means they think Florida is going to cover but the oddsmakers put out a line they think will have most bettors playing Kentucky. Then they don't adjust the odds to get Florida money. Thus a trap if you play Kentucky

So that means the casinos and sports books would put themselves at great risk, if Kentucky did cover. That doesn't make sense. It would be like the sportbooks were in the betting bussines themselves. They would not go out on a limb like this. The public takes the risks and they clean up with the juice.

The trap is bullshit. The use of the term Trap is for guys who cannot make up there minds on what side to play or  who just cannot handicapp

no in ku and tenn the line opened at -5.5 and dropped to 5 with all the money on ku.  Why would it move down with all the money on one side. BC they want you to continue to bet that one side

This time line opened -2.5 and went up to 4 with all the money on uk so the line is moving the proper way if it went down to -1.5 or 1 then i would agree.  Here they are trying to get even action on both sides

I have Kentucky by more than 10. Florida is not the best anymore. Don't bring the past into this.

All you got to know is John Wall, Patterson, & Cousins vs. Walker, Werner, & Tyus.  No comparison.  Kentucky plays to the level of the competition, which kind of scares me, but if they stop them at the three point line.  Kentucky wins big, if not I still think UK covers.

UK -3.5
