Why Illinois only -2.5 vs Minny?

[Regul8er]

I cant figure this one out? Injury?

[Lnn7]

no, that line is right on target with vegas' formula.

[Regul8er]

Minnesota has come off a few heartbreaking loss that eliminate any at large chances. Illinois is playing at home where they are solid for an at large bid, and only getting 2.5. Seems weird.

[suckerforparlays]

Its do or Die for the ILLINI today!!!!

[DennisT]

As soon as I saw the line started thinking. There are no injuries or suspensions I can find. Appears to be a good spot to lay the number. BOL.

[2daBank]

i dont see it as strange reg, you basically got two teams that arnt that good....minny is very up and down but arew very capable of beating Ill who isnt anything special.....i wouldnt touch this game but wouldnt surprise me is Minny gets the W

[KingKolzig]

Ya i couldnt find any injuries myself. Just an article on an upbeat illinois squad who can earn a first round bye in the big10 tournament with a win vs minnesota. looks pretty good -2.5

[DennisT]

Im convinced. Will lay the 2 1/2.

2dabank do you ever bet favorites or do you even bet? I always see you in here talking about I wouldn't touch it, well what would you touch?

[DennisT]

I listen to 2dabank but haye to play something. If not why even coment?

im new here and ive already grubbed far more winners than losers from him. hes very solid, i wouldnt go there

[chiliv5]

I love ILL today at home- Agree the line seems a little low. Thought it would be around -5.

[DennisT]

Interisting!!!

Illini Big Time Today...

[Glitch]

because minnesota is a good team. look back to what they were doin at the beginning of the season and then look back to a few days ago when they only lost to purdue by 1. (yes i kno hummel got hurt)

2dimmensional A. Bank has a very valid point and im not touching this game either. im commenting to help others.

its all good my friend some ppl dont get that being selective is way more profitable than firing away at games that i dont see much of a edge in...seeing how ive only had 1 losing week all season i dont to much care what ppl who lose there paychecks think about me as this is my paycheck and im damn sure not risking it on some punk as mid-level big-10 game that could go either way

[2daBank]

2dabank do you ever bet favorites or do you even bet? I always see you in here talking about I wouldn't touch it, well what would you touch?

sure i bet favs quite often...i comment because i try to help and seeing how this is my friend regulars thread im sure he doesnt mind...if ya dont like it FUK off....my rep around here speaks for itself unlike yourself

I am not starting anything, but couldn't any game go any way? Just sayin? Did anyone in the world think S. Car would beat Ky outright? I know what you mean but........ thats why they call it gambling right?????

actually had s.car plus the points and to answer your question sure any game could go either way, thing is the games i pick seem to not go either way as often as most

1. i hopped on that s.carolina primetime moneyline for a couple dollars- +425 if i remember correctly
2. i hope you seriously dont think marist @ kansas is the same thing as duke @ syracuse

[2daBank]

the only reason i keep posting is ive met lots of good ppl around here that i like to help if i can but i gotta say every day some new jackass pops up running his mouth abot why i pass on games or how they think they know so damn much...the nice thing is they are usually broke and gone in no time

[Jrod124]

Go Illini!!

[2daBank]

i believe the thread was called something like "why is Ill only -1.5" not "who are you betting in this game" and all i did is say why i feel the spread is where its at but im sure you know more than me and the lines makers and they fukked up and it should be 5

[chiliv5]

good job..... marist @ kansas and Duke @ Syr are going to have 2 totally different lines. If you are implying they would be the same I am not sure what you mean. Marist @ Kan would be a 20 something or more line- Duke Kan single digits for sure- I guess my point is what is your point? You are playing the line. Unless you are talking moneyline which their wouldnt be one in the Kan Marist game-

[dknight734]

so illini it is?

[chiliv5]

not saying i know more than anyone- I like this game you dont. its simple really. I think ILL will cover your not interested. That is it in a nutshell. I dont think i know shit. NEver said i did.

do you think the placing the line at -2.5 to balance out other games in the day raising them slightly?

I'm also new here and I always want to hear his opinion on a play.

I'm much more interested in laying off a game that has a higher probability of going completely wonky than I am at making plays on every game on the board.

I think the better plan for making cash is making 5 to 7 solid plays as opposed to some of these people I see who post twenty-five picks at a time.

right on bro but Sat can be crazy if i start rolling its not out of question i play at least 10 but ive had some sat where i dont miss so it turns out good, of coarse ive had a bad 1 or two guess we see what happens today...gl with your plays

not sure i get the question my friend....i just dont really think this line is off while Ill could win by much more i also think minny could win

[UNCGQ]

(yeah, I was thinking "5 to 7 plays" on those random week nights where there aren't 175 games on the board, but I completely get ya).

GL today all!

[suckerforparlays]

Im probably wrong but I thought bookies shaved .5 points and 1 point sometimes just to attract more money to another game by adding the .5 point to another game or subtracting a half point from a game.

Probably wrong though

[MStein12]

purdue was also -2.5 against minne
