    Halftime lines last night for GM and Ohio state 1.5!!

    Well, I was at my in-laws house on Sunday, eating food and proceeding to get drunk when my wife's father clicks on the George Mason and Ohio State game. Was watching Ohio literally shove their pee-pee's up the butthole of George Mason's players.

    Halftime comes around, and I go online to check the line at Sportsbook.com. Holy crap. I clacked the keyboard frantically and rushed to lock in Ohio St. -1.5 and threw a bunch of money at it. This HAD to be a mistake, right? Maybe they meant to put in 11.5... which I woulda gladly took. It didn't make any sense.

    Anyways, anyone else experience this yesterday at any other books?

    They probably figured OSU would pull their starters early since they already had a 26 pt lead at half, and thought George Mason would make things up against OSU's backups.

    It just seemed insane. I'm mad at myself for not throwing thousands at that. Seems like I'm discovering there's a lot of value in weird halftime lines like that.

    Weren't they up 26 at the half? 1.5 to 2 was the correct number, I am sure they didn't think Ohio State would win by 38 and though George Mason could make up some points late in junk time. This type of line happens a lot.

    I wouldn't be too mad, it goes the other way a lot.
