    Bookmakers cant make this line too high for the fact that this an innerstate rivalry and its on the road.

But if the line gets into the 6-6.5 range I may consider buying 2 up to 8-8.5 and coming in with a heavier play, really still a lot of variables as to which route imma take.
      I'd keep waiting and see how much more this line moves.

        Vegas scrambling to get some money on KState. KState bet would not be "too sharp;" in fact, I don't think it would be sharp at all. If line were stable, or moving in the other direction, it would be a different story.

                Guys the problem here is the matchup and the game on Saturday KSU played. Not that any team matches well with KU but KSU in particular is an awful matchup. KSU for example would match up better against a Missouri or even a Texas. KU's offense thrives off pressure defense and that is how KSU tries to play. Against ok teams that can work, especially at home, but KU is too big and too well coached. Add in the fact they are absolutely blistering the basket right now and its not good for KSU. KSU also lacks consistency and has had in every game a 5 or 6 minute drought. Average offensive teams can put up 10 points or so during that run, KU is good enough to put up 30. Obviously if that happens its lights out. And lastly, don't underestimate the toll physically and mentally the late game in Colorado will have on KSU. This team already lacks focus. That CU game will make matters worse. Don't be surprised to see KSU quit again to KU if they get behind. They did it in Lawrence a few weeks ago and it became a slam dunk contest for KU in the 2nd half.

                  Kansas beat them by 24 just a few games back. Kansas is just flat out the better team. It's not even close. Line is now up to 5 but I still think it's too low.

                    There is more info. on this game than meets the eyes. The sharps already know what I am referring to.

                            It was just a very strange line in my opinion. The fact though the line continues to move up to me means there could have been a mistake on the opening line. Its not just squares moving this line up today. It can happen especially in BB when there are so many games. Maybe because its out in the middle of nowwhere but the linemakers have made mistakes before on games in Manhattan. Case in point, Thursday Night FB game (Nebraska vs. KSU). Absolutely one of the easiest games in recent memory to predict.

                              I thought that was going to be the case last night when I started this thread but a lot can change in 15+ hours, I think the amount of Kansas St. backers is a lot higher then you think. I originally thought this line was low-balled to get $ on Kansas, but now I'm starting to think it was posted to get $ on K.State. The only way they can get money on a team like K.State right now would be to do exactly what they did, raise the level of paranoia to the maximum with the low number. For every person I see saying Kansas is easy money, I see another one saying take K.State Vegas doesn't give away free money. Once I see so many people talking trap I start to feel it is really not a trap anymore. Honestly I'm not sure if I will get any action on this pregame, think live betting may be the way I go, scout it out then adjust accordingly. gl all

                                  Vegas is not going to put themselves in a vulnerable position. There are a lot more variables to this game.
                                  I played a 2-team parlay:
                                  Syracuse -3 (bought pts)
                                  K-State +10 (bought pts)
                                  This pays almost 2-1.
                                  I also have K-State +7 on a single spread bet.
                                  GL & hope all works out for you with live betting if that's what you decide.

                                      I usually just ignore ignorant people like yourself that bring nothing useful to the thread so I apologize. You clearly know everything and you have proven it in your thread, up $400 in 1 month is very impressive, I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I made a whole $13 a day. Keep up the good work and keep helping SBR posters not lose money I'm sure everyone is in debt to you.

                                                  i agree that kst should be the play and but the national spot light with proving they are fit for 1# has them pumped up to prove. On the other hand k st is done if the lose tonight tourney wise they will end up with losing record in the big 12. even with out shelby and robinson they are real deep AND THE DOWN LOW ADVANTAGE GOES TO KANSAS WITH THE TWINS. WITH CURTIS A HEAD CASE AND PULLEN GETTING COEVRED WELL BY MORNIGSTAR. i DONT' SEE THEM WINNING I SEE THEM KEEPING IT CLOSE PLAYING AT THERE PACE AND PLAYING SOME GREAT DEFENSE TO STAY WITH IN REACH OF KU. BUT I COULDN'T PASS UP THE MORE TALENTED TEAM COMING OUT 1ST HALF AND GO A HEAD BY TWO POSSESIONS. THATS POSSIBLE 4 PTS ISN'T A LOT WITH KST SHOOTING % OF LATE. THERE'S A CHANCE THEY COME OUT KANAS THERE AD AND 2 HALF PULLEN GOES OFF AND THEY WIN .GL KANSAS 1HALF FOR ME
