          The reason being it is even money and all of the other lines are worthless if you want to win that game. You could still win with A.

                              You bet them originally, and now they are trailing at the half and you want to bet them again..

                              so far, all 5 answers have been guessed at least once.. but there's only 1 right answer.

                              i will reveal the answer in the next 45 min.. maybe even sooner..

                              come on boys, i want more people guessing.

                                      even if 2nd half includes overtime (which it does almost everywhere)

                                                          I'd prefer to bet A.

                                                            Flawed Question.

                                                            1)Not enough information..We need to know what the bet for the game is. They could be -3, PK, we don't know. We don't even know if the team is at home or not...
                                                            2)The juice discrepency is ridiculous..2 cent difference between 7.5 and 8.5??
                                                            3)Considering the info given, you can really only answer based on preference. I would prefer to take the ev @ -8.5 and forego the risk of a tie (that's happened about twice ever) or 1 point win for a team that is already down 7.

                                                              I would say (C), but if you told me in a vacuum that you could take a wager at -7.5 @-102 or buy a point @ -104, Im not sure how i say no.
