The books are dragging their ass about putting up Monday's college basketball lines

[Halifax]

Now that the Sunday conference playoff games are finished, and the teams that play tomorrow are known, you'd think that the Olympics, CRISs, and Pinnacles of the world would put their lines up ASAP ... but here we are at 3:15 AM and still nothing.

Take Gonzaga and St. Marys, for example ... the books had to have figured on those two playing in the conference finals, so you'd think they would have had a line in mind and put it up as soon as the St. Marys game was finished, but nothing so far.

I noticed this last night, too. They had the Sunday regular season games up as they normally would, but the lines on the conference tournament games were held back until the next day.

I wonder why they're holding back on putting up lines on these games ?

I don't know. Hope this helps.

The rule or thought process is that the book always wins. Though, I think the books have been gettin hit on some of these lines lately. I noticed a couple of 2H lines that I was trying to jump on take right at 10 minutes to come out after the half was over. Im waiting on 3 lines now. Charleston, Zags, Siena to see if its anything I like.

yep

8:30 and still the same 2 college lines that they unhappily provided us with last night.

Some books are getting lazy
Maybe lack of interest

[THEGREAT30]

Lack of interest by the book or player? I know the book likes to make money and stay in business. And the players like to play. I think the books are getting touched up a little. Even though I know everyone thinks the books cover themselves by moving the line so that there is the correct amount of money on both sides.

this has been happening a lot lately.

Maybe they're getting concerned about the early players beating the lines.

Doesn't really matter I could have went to sleep instead of waiting on those college b-ball lines. Nothing I really like.
