    The public isn’t always wrong and the books can take a beating.

    They are the same people that always takes the dogs or read into line odds no matter what. They are not really analyzing the game.

    I agree
    I saw solid cappers taking points
    I'm sure they swayed alot of wagers
    Nova was by far the best team in the game
    Lack of scoring for MICH and that FT % - how they got this far I DON"T KNOW.

    I think there was actually a decent amount of Michigan money. it moved back to 6.5 right before tipoff and Vegas insider had it at about 55/45

    This game unfolded exactly like I thought with the exception of the early Michigan lead. The line was off, pure and simple. Probably should have been 11 or 12 like someone go chastised for on a thread earlier in the week. 

    7 was a gift. If they played again the line would be 9 or 10. 

    Villanova is a complete team. Ea$y money!

    Public is usually always on the favorite.  Always been this way.

    We just witnessed a game that went to form.  It doesn’t always happen but it did tonite.  Coming into the game Nova was the better team on paper and now they proved it on the court.  Not a surprise at all.

    Nova won 33 of 40 games this year by 8 or more points. Taking 7 tonight was a really bad play. I said it before the game in several threads. I hope someone benefited but I didn't have a ton of support on the play before tip.

    You would need to be a god damn imbecile to fade a team torching everyone when only getting 7 pts. I mean seriously, how dumb can you be? Did people watch this team this year? When healthy they boatraced everyone.

    There was obviously a ton of Michigan money. The line NEVER bounced to 7.5 all week long, but hit 6.5 many times and as you said some books closed there. Zero books had 7.5 as a close. 

    This was the easiest call of the season taking Nova. I wouldn't call the Michigan backers imbeciles, but I would have called them "extremely hopeful" thinking 7 points was enough.

    Good job on the win guys! an_cheers

     

    Hindsight is 20/20 and obviously Nova looks like the great pick and everyone with Michigan looks like a complete idiot. I'm sure everyone here has been on the completely wrong side of the draw that made you question why you even took it in the first place..
