Syracuse +17 at Duke a good bet?

[DJK]

I'm looking to bet $500 on Syracuse +17 at Duke.

I know nothing about NCAAM basketball and I'm basing my bet on my past knowledge of Syracuse.

I see that Syracuse is NOT even ranked this year, so may be they are having a down year, but aren't they usually good with their defense?

Any opinion would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Standard.

I don't remember asking for any sarcastic comments. If you cannot offer any help. then please do not comment on this thread. Thanks in advance.

[trobin31]

You are basing your bet on past Syracuse teams, like of kids who used to play for Syracuse?

[ELNATURAL]

Just stating what you already said.

Helping you get to the point.

[jts1207]

I would take Cuse 1H

Was his reply sarcastic? Yes. But therein lies good advice, i.e. don't bet good money on something you know nothing about. If 5 bills is peanuts and you just want action, knock yourself out.

[trobin31]

Syracuse likely covers 1H but not full game

Syracuse unpredictable this year. They have been a disappointment

[KingKolzig]

just take the under. boeheim will slow it down and duke hasnt seen a zone yet this year. on the otherside duke defense is solid syracuse wont score more than 60

[shocka1212]

Im on Duke -16.5... only way id bet the other side is if Zion doesn't play

Hmmm, anyway the game could end at 17, which was the opening line?

From what I've seen in the past, which has hit 75% rate is that when Sports Insights has the opposite betting rate as the SBR betting rates, SBR betting rates win more often.

SBR bet rate is 51% on Duke and Sports Insights bet rate is 42% on Duke, so I'm saying there is 75% chance Duke covers.

What bothers me is that the line is doing RLM by moving from -17 to -16.5 when more betting is on Syracuse at Sports Insights. Obviously, I don't know where more money is bet on and I wish I did since I would just go the opposite.

[DJK]

KVB is on Syracuse and shocka1212 is on Duke.

Who is the better capper on collge basketball?

Also, I check the recent history between Syracuse and Duke and Syracuse almost never lost by 17 against Duke, so what gives with that high point spread?

Is Syracuse really that bad this year and Duke really that good this year?

Duke is incredible. however they have only had a few days to prepare for the zone. do what others said and take cuse +10 first half. thats the best bet. or the under

[Ratpack]

good bet duke has virginia next so if it gets out of hand early coach k will put the bench in and cuse will get a backdoor

plus cuse lost a bad game to georgia tech last game they are due for a bounce back

[VegasStacker34]

Only way I bet against duke is 1h only. They’ve clobbered teams in the 2h. Good luck

[DJK]

Okay then, $1,000 on Syracuse +9.5 1st half it is.

It's +9.5-113 at DraftKings and I hate that bullshit with higher juice on both sides as Duke is -9.5-114. I don't understand how they could get away with higher juice on both sides like that; fukers.

[DJK]

Honestly, why I'm stuck on this game when there could be much easier bet to make on college basketball.

Is there a better bet to make on another game tonight?

[2ndchance]

Bad line your going to need that whole ten lol going to be close you would think syrcuse would cover first and full game. Thought that with Clemson also but duke killed them and refs were helping them so much it’s was a close game for a little then just like that Clemson down 20 it was crazy how quick they flipped the script.

[VegasStacker34]

Betting against duke 1h has been one of the easier bets this year for me to make. It’s the only college game my numbers say is worth betting. I’m hoping for 10 by tip.

[VegasStacker34]

10.5 I meant

[DJK]

Ok, then how about under like what KingKolzig suggested? I'm now leaning towards that now instead of the first half.

The only reason why I picked this game is that it's on TV and nothing more.

If there is a better game to bet on, then I would but I know nothing about college basketball.

[2ndchance]

The games tonight are kinda tough I kinda liking the Baylor Oklahoma state under now that it got bet up buy almost 5 points plus Baylor lost second best scorer last game. Plus you got the fact both team hang there hat on defense but just my opinion haven’t played it yet see If it goes up even more.

[DJK]

I asked my kids who are 6 and 8 year old girls and they both picked the Devils. I asked my wife who has the worst luck of all says the Orange.

None of them know anything about college basketball. My head says as bad luck as my wife is, she is due to get something right.

My girls have been on the money.

Maybe I should just lay off the game altogether or bet the under like what KingKolzig said.

[firedawg]

Saloon this shit

Guy is betting $500 on something he knows nothing about.

Standard.

Is 500 alot?

[2ndchance]

Are lower your bet size ALOT so you have some action and can watch the game.

[DJK]

Is 500 alot?

Not to me it isn't. I'm holding $6,000 cash at the moment.

I'm now thinking $1,000 instead of only $500.

[DJK]

Saloon this shit

Instead of giving me an advice I could follow, this is what I get from you? I thought you were better than that.

[2ndchance]

People that say 500 bucks is not alot of money are the ones broke.

[DJKhalid]

Correct...

[DJKhalid]

Anybody betting less than 500 a game are not gonna make much over a season that's for sure...LMAO. Broke ass SBR pros.
