    Value of a point for a CBB total?

    Does anyone know of anyway to calculate the value of a half point/point in college basketball?

    For instance, how much better is under 151.5 than under 146. Put another way, if I bet the Marquette under 151.5 and it closed at 146, by how much (or what percentage) did I beat the market?

    All the turkey was blocking the path to my brain. I completely forgot you could use the half-point calculator for totals. Thanks.

    No worries I'm sure i've thrown my fair share of "easy" questions out here too. Good job on catching the steam and/or line move ahead of time though!

    Thanks, FreeFall. Beat the closing total on 4 of 5 last night. Even a blind nut gets a squirrel every now and then
