      my book has it at -3, but i was thinking about it. that's still a pretty fat middle and K State has problems shooting FTs. will probably lay off but it's tempting.

              if you can get them at 1.5 I'd take that in a heart beat. Did you see how many layups and bullsh*t shots Texas missed? K-State won't be able to dominate the paint again in the second half and the horns will start making some shots. Don't forget it's also Rick Barnes vs. Frank Martin. A coach who has tons of experience vs. one who is sh*tting his pants up ten against the number one team in the nation. Texas -3.

                      Thankyou all for your input thus far. In response i got the -1.5 (-110) at 2betdsi within 1 min after lines opened.

                      Was originally at -105 but couldnt click fast enough to catch it.. BOL all

                                  If you didnt take texas 2nd half I dont really understand you. Number 1 team in the nation thats a notorious 2nd half team which basically makes them +7. Easy money.

                                      They are not business of giving money away always remember that. Texas was a sucker bet -3, easy doesn't exist. Learning takes time.

                                          Yeah, I didn't want to say I told you so but like the poster said above, "Don't fall for the sucker bets." The 2nd half bet should have been much worse had Kansas State made half of those free throws down the stretch they would have won by much more.

                                            Good call there best. Would u say though that on a statistical basis texas 2nd half was the play (ie u can expect to see a positive return if same game was played 100 times over...) as is my opinion....

                                                Yeah, bummer huh Think il stay away from 2nd half wagers or just fade myself (2nd half) in future....Just gives extra incentive to take the books for a ride even harder tomorrow

                                                    Coochy I watch the games and look at it as a whole. They are not playing this game 100 times, it is once, that night that time. You have to look at it like that. I expect K State to win this game by 10 or more from the start. Texas being -3 in the 2nd half make me take K State in the 2nd half too cause my prediction was 10 anyway so I have points too. I never bet against the team that is winning the first half. It is the same team or not...unless I am hedging. Teams that win the first half generally win the 2nd too. Nothing is guaranteed but that is the way I bet it. Look it up in both basketball and football it wins way more than it loses.
