    MSU stopped playing with 5:00 left

    I'm hopeful they cover but it's not looking good. MSU coach is livid.

    too easy for the oddsmakers to make razor sharp lines and the wise guys to smash them into shape leaving scraps for the recreational guys.

    basketball is probably the least difficult (because nothing is easy) team sport for the oddsmakers and sharps to set the right line on.

    why?

    alternating possessions where each basket is worth 1, 2, or 3 points. each team gets what 50 possessions in CBB and 75 each in NBA? sample size for each game in terms of scoring, is too big.
    this helps the margin of error become very small for the linesmaker. slow death for a team trying to put another team away by 2 to 3 pts at a time, not like in football when you can jump up 21-0 on a team. in hoops 3 great possessions in a row means a 6-9 pt lead, not 21 pt lead.

    in football the better team on both sides of the ball and special teams can go on long drives and shut down their opponents when on D. they can give up literally nothing or maybe 3 to 10 pts while scoring 35 on their own. a good team in hoops wins by 7, a good team in football wins by 14, 17, 24, etc.

    in hoops, you score and then give the ball back and and good luck stopping a team from throwing a round object into a hoop from various distances and moving only 94 feet while on a dribble.

    basketball is nuts to wager on. fukking nuts.

    good luck all
