Set the line: No. 1 Kentucky vs. No. 2 Michigan State this Tuesday

[No coincidences]

Spartans return four starters from last year's Sweet 16/Big Ten championship team, including All-American candidates Adreian Payne and Gary Harris.

Wildcats boast one of the best recruiting classes ever.

Champions Classic. Game is in Chicago. MSU normally stinks early in the season, but they might be poundable in this spot given their experience and Kentucky's lack of it.

Is this the last game of the 24 hour marathon?

[Sam Odom]

-5

[Ra77er]

Kentucky -2.5

-5

Good thing you aren't an oddsmaker.

-5? Really? I might take out a second mortgage on my house if MSU is +5.

[No coincidences]

Kentucky -2.5

I'm anticipating -2 Ra77.

[Big Bear]

Michigan State ML for me

[Sam Odom]

I might take out a second mortgage on my house if MSU is +5.

Stop it!!!

You're a 20.00 bettor (by your own admission)

[BigDeem5]

So, you're anticipating -2, but if it is somehow -5 you want to take out a second mortgage on your house.

Earlier you admit MSU stinks early in the year, usually.

So if a line is "off" 3 pts in your admission, you want to hammer it ???

Seems illegitimate, kind of like your record keeping.

Carry on.

KY -3

[Sam Odom]

-5

....................................

-5? Really?

Yup

That is Sammy's line... Will determine if there is a 'play' on the game by that line vs opening line

[Sam Odom]

KY -3

Key number ^

Sammy's -5 is between two key numbers

[Ra77er]

Sam I don't think he was being literal. I agree with him though, +5 would be way too much for me to pass up. Id bet 100 on it .

UK clearly the best team on paper here but Izzo could beat some NBA teams with a roster of SBR ghosts.

First of all, it was a joke moron.

Second, I bet $20 per unit but I'm a heavy volume player. I'm no high roller by any means, but when you add up all the plays I make, it's probably a good thing I only bet $20 per unit because over the course of an entire season like MLB, I have nearly $50,000 total in play. Given I do NCAAF, NCAAB, NFL and NBA also, and well, that adds up.

If you can't see the cavernous difference between -2 and -5, then I can't help you. And if you can't see that I was joking about taking out a second mortgage, then I can't help you either. You really are brain-dead sometimes.

Earlier you admit MSU stinks early in the year, usually.

Typically, yes. But MSU usually doesn't return four starters from a successful team, given the fact that they're typically an upperclassmen-dominated program.

So if a line is "off" 3 pts in your admission, you want to hammer it ???

Again, yes. And you should too. Do you really need an explanation for that?

Seems illegitimate, kind of like your record keeping.

I've offered to ban myself from the board for one full month -- no questions asked -- if you can prove my "record keeping" isn't legit. I'm still waiting for you to take me up on this offer.

Like always, you're all talk.

1st off... Sammy would not 'poke fun' at anyone's bet amount

Just LOL at your OVER THE TOP reply

[LT Profits]

-1 either way or Pick'em.

First off, you did just that. Otherwise you wouldn't bother mentioning the specific amount.

Second, can no one take a fvcking joke around here anymore? You seem like a fun guy to have a beer with --

[Sam Odom]

-1 either way or Pick'em.

Now that ^ would be a green light for Sammy

[LT Profits]

Michigan State wins this game, Kentucky wins if there is a rematch in March.

Well then you better get your engine ready, because I don't see it being anything more than -2/-2.5. Wouldn't surprise me at all if it was -1.

-5. LOL.

[Big Bear]

Settle down the line will open at -3.5 and close at -4.5 despite
heavy action Kentucky. ( RLM)

And Michigan state will win this game.

[Sam Odom]

Otherwise you wouldn't bother mentioning the specific amount.

What 20.00 You take pride in your $20 bets and have told us 1000x - So why wouldnt Sammy say $20.00

[No coincidences]

Michigan State wins this game, Kentucky wins if there is a rematch in March.

Kentucky has the higher ceiling without question, though I wouldn't count MSU out in a rematch down the stretch. Izzo is very bullish on this team if you read his preseason comments, which he typically shies away from (the hyperbole). Only thing that worries me is Appling not being a true point and their lack of perimeter shooting. Same issues as last year, though Payne, Harris, Dawson, etc. are a year better now. Team full of MEN. Kentucky will still be a lot of 18-year-old first-timers once the dance rolls around.

Wait, you think MSU will be favored by 3.5? WTF?

[Sam Odom]

-5. LOL.

You asked... Sammy told you his line

We will see if there is enough disparity for a play

Dude, Kentucky wouldn't be favored by 5 at Rupp against MSU.

If they're favored by 5 on a neutral court, I'll eat my hat.

[Sam Odom]

Michigan State wins this game

So if Ky is -5 you'll take out a second mortgage on your house ?

[Ra77er]

MSU always schedules tough early but by the end of the season are playing at a high level, I would think LT'S logic would be the reverse. Regardless I would be mildly surprised if this opened pick.

[No coincidences]

Hey Skkkammy, what would be a better line to pound: MSU at +5 or Verlander "-127" at Minnesota?

[Sam Odom]

NoCoin... If Ky wins by 4,5 or 6 will you say to everyone here that Sammy is Sharp ?

[Big Bear]

Wait, you think MSU will be favored by 3.5? WTF?

no Kentucky will be favored

[Sam Odom]

Verlander "-127"

[Big Bear]

i'm guessing kentucky -2.5 or 3.5 something with a hook.

if they set the number #1 team in the nation at -1 or a pk on a neutral court they will get too much money on kentucky and i assume they want even action on both sides.

[No coincidences]

NoCoin... If Ky wins by 4,5 or 6 will you say to everyone here that Sammy is Sharp ?

If Kentucky wins this game by 4 or more, I'll bump this thread myself and congratulate you. Absolutely.

In case you haven't noticed, I do the same thing when you actually post a play beforehand that hits. I have no hatred for your abilities as a gambler -- it's your deceit and duplicity that bugs me. Well that and the fact that you're a racist old man.
