    Big on Wichita St -1600

    If they went 34-0, no way they could lose to a a 13-19 regular season team.

    P. S. I am not that dumb. But all my numbers point to a -3500 fair line, so it is a good value. I am "small" on it ($800 tw $50)

    You put up 800 to win 50? Lets see game last at least 2 hours, my math says you could panhandle at a freeway exit for an hour and a half and get 50 bucks.

    Not sure what would hurt worse, Wichita to lose or knowing you could have dumped on the spread and won alot more.

    Not sure what would hurt worse, being a net loser on a bond investment or knowing you could have won "alot" more on a derivative.

    Dude that's a 6% return. some people are content with that for an entire YEAR and you get it in 2.2 hours?

    I say it's a great bet and congrats. I wish my book had offered the same.

    Liked Michigan -195 at opening, but it is gone.

    I like to post such big moneylines, and most people answers show little undestanding of probabilities. If you are offered in a 2 dice roll under 10.5 -1000 you should jump at it every time. Probabilities are 33/3 = -1100, so it is a solid bet. But most bettors are afraid of laying such large chalk. Some poster suggested "with some upsets today it is a bad bet", as if Duke game has anything to do with Wichita St.

    Speaking of upsets, I was hit by Duke, offered it at Matchbook at 900, and only a guy had the balls to bought $12. So I lost all of $108. Some other guy bought me $100 of Kansas 900. I my model fair line had Duke as -1300 and KS as -1200, so both bets were +EV for me (and most importantly, expected growth is great). AZ had no value, and VA was free money, as a guy offered it at -3000 Matchy while 5dimes had Coastal Car +3425. Yesterday I had FL estimated at -30000, but placed very little at -5750.

    People are surprised of such large risk for an small gain. Do you know the expected gain of $220 to win $200 with a good +EV of 2%? It is just $4. And do not ask for expected growth, chalky moneylines beat it easily in the few cases when there is +EV on them. No surprise books charge more juice on the moneyline dog on most cases.

    Do not get me wrong, I also bet spreads and dog moneylines. Whatever has the best +EG is kosher. And never second guess "I should had taken the spread instead". Just take the best number and stick to your guns.
