    No real reason to buy from 8.5 or whatever it is at to 12. Buying to 10, maybe okay, buying to 14, also maybe okay. I would never buy that many points, and if I ever buy points it is to get onto key numbers, 3,7,10,14.

    If you buy points like that on a consistent basis you will never win over the long run with that kind of juice.

    I'm back on forth on these games. Will save my dollars for the weekend and possible live betting if opportunities present themselves.

    Why 12? Must have cost around - 145 ? Bruin money coming in,down to -9

    I couldn't resist throwing a Franklin at this. gl

    Teaser 100.00 316.00 Football - 305 No Illinois/Kent over 52 for Game
    Football - 306 Kent +13 for Game
    Football - 307 UCLA +15½ for Game
    Football - 307 UCLA/Stanford over 41½ for Game

    Why 12? It would make more sense to buy it up to 10.5 or 10. Less juice and 12 is not a key number.

    I'm going with Kent + 7 1/2 parlayed with the over 58

    I also have the teaser I posted.

    If I don't have a strong play, I'll just do a teaser or parlay for action.

    I have more confidence with Kent. If things are looking good, I might add action on the late game. Lines are bouncing back and forth. Should be great games to pound beers to, winning money is another matter. The more I look at the teaser the more I like it. But, they also look great on paper. Starting to really like the over in the Kent game so I parlayed it with Kent getting the TD and the hook. gl

    Pointless. If you don't think UCLA can cover 10 than you shouldn't be betting the game. You should have teased it the other way.
