Totals-1/8

[hawkeye]

ytd--20-11

Waiting for totals to be put up --what's the crap with only 5-6 up? With this time of they year they all should be up for every game--1/2's also.

books have been taking a beating and its their way of minimizing exposure by not letting the sharps get down on the best lines..... it is frustrating..... but same old thing ..house always wants the best of it

 

[Full court press]

It's frustrating for sure for guys like us that play a lot of totals. Like the other day BOL circled the MAC games for lower limits on just a handful of games. No sweat off my ass cause I don't bet big money but its obvious that they are limiting their exposure.

You and your ("loyal followers" inside joke there) are kicking their asses.

Any totals player needs to be funded at 2-3 books and Betonline is a must. The numbers are up now for all the games but not all the 1st half totals. That fact alone speaks loudly.

Hawk...

they are trying to throw us off. IT is that simple! They also are letting the line move before opening it at 5dimes. Stick to it! Last night we had all first half lines and a BUNCH of 10 minute lines... I have been putting a lot of pressure on 5d. I always tell their live help when BOL has their lines up and 5d doesn't.

Now that we are past the holidays and we are in conference play I think everything will start to normalize.

Early OVC thoughts... Belmont not as good as I thought and SIU-Edwardsville is very athletic. I had backed off SIU-E because of their game against SIU but since that game they are playing good ball.

FT shooting is brutal everywhere right now.

There were a couple of nice plays last night that I missed because I didn't want to stray too far from the MAC. Siu Edwardsville being one of them. Seems so obvious now but they can play and that was too many pts.

Four in the OVC tonight. Specifically looking at Martin. Maybe you or Hawk might have a side or total play.

What do you think about that Florida total in Ladies ball? Seems really high too me...

FCP... UT Martin

FCP... UT Martin

My Concern with them is that UT Martin does not play defense. EKU is a wonky team... one night they go out and HOUSE Miami and then the next night they lose to ??? I think with the defense that UTM plays that EKU will be able to do whatever they want to on offense... Will they hit their shots?

For me, the OVC play of the night is SEMO- I feel like they are playing consistent ball and has been playing well. IN years past when they lost by 1 to Belmont they would have layed an egg the next game... However, they went out and handled business. Morehead State allows more FT's than almost every team in the country. That will be big here. I think SEMO keeps Morehead State reeling.

Did not see the Fla total? OTB when I looked
Still no 1st hafl totals--had three I was looking at but not posted
Maybe AP and Jackass St as an under but passing--there is always tomorrow
They run the show

 

[hawkeye]

see it now at 139-little high but passing--probably worth a sniff--Miss had been scoring a lot less lately--gl

 

[Musca]

I sniffed...

I sniffed...

even got it at -110!

 

[hawkeye]

GL--its obvious to me gong back over the last 10 days if there is a college team who plays good defense and does not score a lot themselves-likes the slower game that 1st half total will not be posted-. too me its gambling-then change the line-but post it-:shrug:

 

[Musca]

I concur

I concur

It makes it really aggravating to handicap the games and then not get the damn lines. Send out an e-mail telling us when the lines will be posted each day or send out an e-mail telling us that they will no longer carry the lines but this inconsistency is for the birds.

Last night 1 hour before game time all 1st half lines were posted at 5dimes.

Jane: Welcome to our online Customer Service! How may I assist you today?
5XXXXXXX: Trying to understand when you will be posting 1st half totals?
5XXXXXXX: for college basketball
Jane: Good afternoon, let me ask.
Jane: Please hold.
5XXXXXXX: it seems that 5dimes are posting 1st half lines later and later... or not at all. Is this a business decision or because of something else?
Jane: Internal policies sir, they will be later on today.
Jane: Is there anything else I can assist you with?
5XXXXXXX: Internal Policies... Basically trying to limit exposure?
Jane: Different reasons actually but most likely because we are concentrated on other lines.
Jane: College basketball is not a forte right now.

This is part of a transcript I just had with the live help.
