    Betting becomes inconsequential.......

    That was worse than Joe T, that was worse than Moises Alou....

    That was the looking worst sports inury I have ever seen. Shame on me for looking to bet on Duke now....

    Why does it make betting inconsequential. He broke his leg, it will hurt, it'll take awhile. But it's not like he's gonna die.

    can't have a weak stomach in sports. I've seen much worse positions in soccer where players broke their legs, Nonetheless can someone let me know what the effect of the injury on the line was? How much did the Duke ML move by

    why do people make big deals about common injuries these guys are crying for a guy with a broken leg for in a year he will be okay. They are acting like he will never walk again or he got shot WHO CARES about a broken leg. if your walking down the street and you got a broken leg how many people would probably help you out 1 or 2 noone would give a crap but ohh hes an athlete i care.

    HOLY ******* SH*T

    Are you guys kidding? That was a compound fracture....the lower half of his leg was literally hanging off of the rest of his leg. He may be lucky and it will just require setting, etc.....but there is a chance it will be worse as well. His teamates had every right to react that way, it was terrible.

    As for Dave Dravecky, yep, that was bad too.....but at least he didn't land on it with all his weight just like that kid did....

    All I was saying was that betting takes a backseat to this....as for the line it started at Duke +175 and during the 9 minute time out for the injury it moved to +145.....

    I did bet it, of course.....I was just sayinig that betting is LESS important when somebodies' health comes into question. I am surprised, Pitino is good....his players rallied around it.....I thought my two first half UNDERS were toast, but they both managed to come in for me!
