Why so many points O/U 136 pts with Northwesrern and Ohio??

[dontknowhowtobet]

Who set this over/under line at 136 points?
All the games where Ohio won in clear cut (over 15 pts or so) - the total score was like 110-120 pts:

So why 136 pts tonight and not something like 120 or 125 pts?
Who set this line?
Or perhaps the game won't be a clear cut as the lines show which is why you all pick Northwestern with the handicap?

I teased the over

I teased the over

It might win, you never know, if the game starts tight and they make it 65-70 pts in the 1st half and only from there Ohio starts to pick up the lead then it might pass the 130 ... interesting to see how many pts would be in the 1st half, definitely worth a live bet here during halftime.

Hope I don't disappoint you, I still think under has more chances, but it's not 100% straightforward like Kentucky MONEY LINE over Lamar.

[CollegeOverUnder]

i can see the half time score being 35-26

[BiffTFinancial]

i like the over but probably not playing it. we're heading into conference play, a different time of the season. when OSU has played decent teams (Duke, Kansas, South Carolina), the games have gone over. against Miami-Ohio and Lamar and Valpo and the non-lined games, you're right - OSU doesn't allow much scoring - but NU is a decent team. i think that you're looking at 77-80 from OSU and 60+ from NU, putting it over. BOL whatever you decide.

Leaving no chances for over in that case, but perfect live betting on Over/Under up to you around the 120 pts line ... you can do under now and live betting over, try to catch both lol

the 1H total is 63. no offense, but if they score 61 points in the 1H, there is plenty chance that the game goes over. barring the unforeseen, the 2H total will be 73, and the live bet will only get you around 134...

Im sick of taking unders i've lost like 6 unders these past few days

if you like the under, take 1H under unless you think that it will be a blow-out. eliminates potential for FT, OT, etc. to screw you.

I bet as part of small parlay Ohio to win moneyline - there won't be OT in this game, Ohio would be the heck out of them, not sure if by 16 pts but it would be one sided - I would pick under 2H, but over 1H.

funny you should mention that, and i'm actually considering the 1H over right now, esp with it currently 62 at 5D.

62 is a very nice number!!
I'd go for it OVER all the way if I had an account with them there but they charge fees unlike UK books where I can bet £100 to win £101 and get £101 to my bank and tax free with no fees.

you're making me so jealous. sounds like heaven on earth compared to dealing with UIGEA horseshit in US.

I'm on it, £20 bet



Goodluck!

I know, I opened an account with DSI, when I asked them about their withdrawal policy and stuff I just told them no thanks. Pinnacle is much better, they do cater for UK players and there you can get what you win back but only once a month, although they don't charge much comparing to other US books when it comes to withdraw.

The thing is I'm limited in Bet365 and it hurts coz I mostly like to play there but they don't let me bet there more than £5 per bet and that's only if I'm lucky.... Betsson also limited me pretty bad, the other books where I lost some have no problems me betting there - but this is why yesterday I made the £1000 bet in the shop and not online so they can't limit me in William Hill this way.

[BiffTFinancial]

on the 1H over at 62. BOL to us.

37 points after 12 minutes of play, that's not bad son.
(It's average of a bit more than 3 pts per minute, which brings the O/U to the 130 area)

Interesting how many pts they will finish with in the 1st half, they do nice scoring too, not only missing everything.

[Joeb86]

Thanks for the encouragement I really would like to win for once lol

We're on the same side haha.
Look:

36 - 17 = 53 pts
3:55 minutes left in the 1st half

I hope they can score and not let the time run out.

[dontknowhowtobet]

The score now is 36-22 which is 58 pts.
1:32 mins left in the 1st half.
I really hope they can score at least 2 shots, or even just 1 more for BiffTFinancial's bet.
These guys in Vegas really know how to make the line close to the game, isn't it?

[dontknowhowtobet]

41-23 and 14 secs left.
We made it!

whoa, Bufford! got the W thanks to Buford's late. got another at the buzzer that was gravy. nice hit, dontknow!

we had solid pace, but those last four minutes were a real sweat, though it's to be expected for scoring to slow in final four minutes of 1H. phew.

Nice winning from myself.

[BiffTFinancial]

Buford hit a huge three to get me a W on Buckeyes TT over at South Carolina earlier this season when Sullinger injury left play at serious risk, if i recall correctly. that guy is always welcome at my house.

[Joeb86]

So how likely is it they can score at least 63 for the second half?

They kept it close but ended up nicely with 67 points.
It's more or less around what we were expecting so all good.
I think with 67 points the line would go up to 140 and that's an excellent for those who want to go UNDER, but the lines are not out yet.

Anyway, I got tons of bets placed today with parlays and such so I think I'm happy for today, but just giving out this as info, the UNDER if the line hits 140+ is definitely a because Ohio would take their time now they're leading and there won't be many fouls to be made - unless if someone is trying to make it controversial but I really don't think so.

Anyway nice one for us!

You took over 130 pts?
Hmm .... it's a hard one, darn ... I wish I could tell you it would go smooth, but it's one-sided game as I mentioned earlier, it's hard to score lots in one sided-game, but I hope they will let things run quickly, that would be a nice way to score over 63 pts in the 2nd half ... but it's hard to tell ... I hate one sided games and "over" bets but I will be with you on this one from the side, hope they can make it.

[baazigar]

northwestern has to score some more now. ohio state will put 30+ for sure.

I agree, they gotta put the 25 pts in this half so joeb's bet will hit it over 130 pts.
I hope they are not going to simply throw the ball each round and give up the game.
Tight play is the key for OVER in such games, not easy when it's one sided but enough if they want to make it tight play so I hope Joeb will catch this one.

Let's see.

[Joeb86]

Well if they can pull within 10 pretty fast that could help me

[dontknowhowtobet]

47-33 (80 pts)
15:51 to go

You need 51 more points within 16 minutes ....

[Joeb86]

130 pts doesnt look likely right?
