Spiders will destroy the Gaels! This line will move to at least 7 by tomorrow.

Well they've had a couple of close games but lost all 3. Kent St. is mediocre at best. Bryant is a high school team. Spiders just destroyed William & Mary, a so-so CAA team and Citadel, another high school team. The bottom line is that the A-10 is pretty strong and the MAAC is pretty weak. Homecourt means nothing in this game as Richmond is way too talented and should win by double digits with relative ease. This line is off by 5 points at least.

I have been following them and anybody betting on NCAA really needs to follow everything this is how you find the weak lines. A-10 is strong at top of conference. MAAC is a lower mid-major who has been slowly back on the decline. Iona lost to Bryant who since making the move to division 1 has been one of the worst three teams in the almost 350 division 1 teams. Richmond has sweet 16 potential.

If they're that much stronger wouldn't a first half bet and the game bet be good? It seems richmond starts off pretty strong and iona not so much. Iona has kept it close first half, but from their past games they're usually down, and if they're so much inferior it should still favor richmond. Right?

I took your word on this game and used the rest of my balance on this game.
Richmond -5.5

1st H is probably a good bet, but I'm trying to steer clear of those types of wagers. Examples from yesterday: Wisconsin Milwaukee close at halftime, then they win by double digits. The day before: ohio st., florida close at half time, ohio state blows out florida 2 H. Any home team can play good for a half but the chances of them playing that well for a whole game are less. 1H and 2H bets have their value at times, but you'll see the inflated lines in 1H games that get you in trouble more often than not. I'm guess Richmond is -3 1H right now. Probably OK, but I'm staying away and going with -5 for the game.

balco, good luck to us. although I never recommend wagering an entire bankroll on a play. But if you had to choose a game for today to do that on, i think you got the right one.

i think sharp money came in on iona. It went from -5.5 to -4.5 at my book in a couple hours with majority still on richmond

im seeing 4.5 across the board, sharps are on iona. putting ones entire bankroll on richmond -5.5 is not smart

I have been watching this one. Initially agreed that Richmond looked like obvious pick, and this time of the season in NCAABB obvious isn't always a bad thing. But now, with 89% of bets on Richmond (thespread.com) and line down half a point from its opening, I'm sitting it out. Good luck, though. I hope it hits for you.

Richmond is a good selection; one of the games I'm taking today. Bought it down to 4 at -108.

You're playing with fire taking 4-5.5 point road dogs. A trap more often than not.

Richmond isn't a road dog, they're favored. Screw RLM on this game, Richmond is going to cover.

Down to 4, too bad Richmond isn't playing Bryant they would probably be a dog. This looks too easy so I'm staying away!!!!
