    Notre Dame -1.5 vs. SFA

    let's face it, people are scared to talk about this game because they know there's basically no good that can come of it. they know ND has been really inconsistent, but shit.. they've still beaten UNC and Louisville at home, plus Duke twice outside of South Bend.

    they just want to secretly hammer ND for $5K and then hope the game just quietly comes and goes tomorrow with no one drawing attention to it.. heck, even the typical tourney stinker where the brand name plays like crap but still wins by default would be sufficient for them to make a killing.

    just think of all the assholes who've already bet way over their heads on this, but can't sleep now because they've convinced themselves they've fallen for a trap.

    i mean, could you imagine announcing to the world that you're making your largest conceivable play on ND and then have it lose?

    haha i'm not saying it's a trap, but just laughing at the thought of how many REALLY LARGE ND backers there are right now who might be shitting themselves wondering if they've fallen for one.

    they just want to make a quiet killing on this game and never have to talk about it! you empathize with them because you know it's the same EXACT thing you want to do.. but for some reason haven't done it yourself. so instead you just laugh at them for now and pretend you're too sharp to make the same bet because what other option is there?.. i mean, you keep refreshing the lines and it still says -1.5.. "holy crap, they must've made a big mistake here and i need to bet this HUGE!"

    "but oh shit, what if i'm on the opposite side here of a classic 'hotel builder' ???"

    There are a couple guys I respect on SFA, so I don't think the play looks all that fishy/obvious. I like ND here

    Don't care what you "sharps" that are taking SFA think. The fact is WVU is the only quality team they have beaten all year. Their conference is a joke. They are not battle tested. The major teams they've played .. Baylor, northern Iowa, UAB, and Arizona state.... All losses. If SFA beats ND today so be it. I would make this same bet every single time and come out on top.

    sometimes the best bet is to watch the 1st half and make a 2nd half bet, an option which is viable

    I think they would fair bettr vs those teams now. Those losses were all very in the year. Conference is weak but they put the thump to all of them.

    OK yesterday the announcers said there is no 5 second rule in place anymore. So why was the ref counting down when Walkon had the ball near the midcourt line. Doesn't the ref know the rule?

    This kid....is why you always take the +1,5 with a small underdog same if the +money line on the ML can be tempting

    Tough ending for SFA... Tough way to go out for Walkup. But at least SFA covered.
