Why do college basketball totals take so long to come out?

[Bluehorseshoe]

If they can put a point spread out on the sides, why can't they put a total out at the same time??

They have to wait to see how the wind is blowing at Wrigley?

Yes, this is seriously some bullshit. I am waiting as we speak for the lines to come available at my book. Meanwhile; scoresandodds.com already has the totals that Im interested in.

Books have been getting killed on CBB Totals for several years now. This is their way to combat it.

[THEGREAT30]

Not going to help, it's simple you either win or lose. If the line has jumped up a .5 point or more I will just buy a point. I dont see how them holding off for a couple of hours helps.

Pinny is up earlier than most and they have had quite a few moves of 5 points or more recently. Books that wait don't tale that hit.

CBB totals are the easiest -105 you can beat in this business

I think the 4 pm week day hour is the magic hour for most books.
