    ARKANSAS ST. beat W KENTUCKY twice this year by double digits and they come out with a line of 3.5..... And now everybody bets ark. st. figuring its gonna be easy win no. 3 , and W kent. wins the first half...... Then , they come out with a line ark. st only - 3 in 2nd half... Its like vegas knows....

    You can't extrapolate two teams based on the two times they played each other. There are 30 other games that these teams played which show that there isn't much of a difference in quality between the two teams.

    And the 2nd half line is basically half of the total game line plus a couple of points given to the team that is ahead because of the comeback factor.

    Computer power ratings is the most accurate indicator of the correct point spread between two teams. That is why Vegas pretty much just follows the computer ratings to determine the lines of the games. I thought this stuff was basic bettor's knowledge.

    Is everyone a friggin square in this place?

    Would have hammered W Ky myself if the line got to 5. No way Ark State is 5 points better than W Ky.

    Yea put a play on them at +3 but if it was in the 5 to 6 range myself and a lot of bettors would have been putting plays on that ML too b/c of the nice payout. Most these conf tourney games have teams that are very equal which is why dogs are covering left and right
