    Not even close (unless you count the 1H)

    St. Francis was so square, though. Dear God.

    Not trying to be a dick in any way.....but can you explain why it was square?

    St. Francis is better on every single analytical metric.

    FDU is a 3-13 team, going 1-7 their last 8 games before today.

    Sometimes you have to bet the better team, and you were betting against an SF (PA) team that had scored north of 80 points their last 3 conference games, in addition to that, they beat William and Mary, St, Joe's on the road and lost in OT at Richmond by a bucket.

    You did an outstanding job explaining why
    St. Francis -2.5 was really square.

    Congrats on the win. I mean that sincerely.

    I like Cincinnati tonight.

    square: most overused term in sports betting.

    His point is why is it only 2.5, knowing all of your points? Knowing how Lock plays, money was probably coming in on FDU also.

    Thank you, sir.

    Adding Cincy -1 -105 SECOND HALF

    We’ll take a day off tomorrow if we lose both. That will be the signal for an off day.

    ONLY 2.5?

    If that is his measure as to why it was square, it explains why he lost the bet.

    It also explains that he has not a single clue as to how a number is generated, especially within a conference.

    Great handicapping skills--- "OH LOOK, that number should be bigger... I'll bet the short side--- see how sharp I am?"

    Sharp money was on it, part of the reason he played it.

    These smaller conferences can be very tricky to get info from, finding where the sharp money is going is a good way to go.

    You do have to have somewhat of an idea what the line should be, how else would you know what the right side is?
