    Yeah. I saw it and half his foot was over the line with the ref just a few feet away. Either I'm losing my vision or someone got a hand signal from someone.

    Been doing this 25 years. A long time ago, I heard a "Wise Man" named Vanzack say...

    "National TV spotlight games, rarely bet the favorites."

    That ending was exactly why. # 1, Vegas knows the public bets favorites.. 

    #2...and listen to me, young Bugs. I mean NO disrespect, but the youngins on this and any forum have to learn this following statement:

     

    "At the end of games, favorites are doing all they can just to run out the clock, while the dogs are doing all they can to score and keep the game going."

    If you can develop a skill at knowing what a National TV spotlight game in football and hoops....literally all you have to do is blindly bet the dog and you WILL make money! 

    Even with that, the problem is...hardly anyone has the money mgmt and discipline to do that.

    I see where your going with this and its true but whats most important is "At the end of games, favorites are doing all they can just to run out the clock, while the dogs are doing all they can to score and keep the game going."

    This is the number 1 reason of why NBA spread is the hardest spread to pick on out of any sport.... yet not many talk about it I feel like

    at the end of the day its about picking and choosing certain games
