Giving stanford 8.5 seems like an awful lot

Take the points I see UcLa winning out right just hope a few meaning less free throws dont blow this one!

[Sportsgirl]

8.5 is big this late in the season and with so much on the line. I think UCLA wins and earns their No. 1 seed, but not by 8.5 over a No. 7 team.

I'm with each of you. Not romantically, just with regard to the play.

Only way I see UCLA winning/cover here is Based on the Lopez twins Minutes played(No suprise lol) Ucla has a lot of big bodies to throw at them where I think it hard for Robin to function with out brook and other way around as well. If Ucla gets either one in foul trouble this game will be tough for them to Win ad maybe put the cover at risk(not that they care). Good Luck

+330 worth a shot on stan?

e-dumped again?

[gm2022]

for sher Also take a look at Cal +310 on USC Cal matchs up very well.

you're e-taken. I was just clarifying that, in this post, my words were not meant romantically.

Who took me?

And I really do want to know what +330 or whatever means, even if it is a stoooopid question and shows my gambling ignorance.

+330 = ml odds on Stanford tonight. Risk one unit to win 3.30.

[Panic]

I'd be careful with this one. They played in Stanford in January and UCLA beat them by 9. Now UCLA gets them at home.

Good - I was hoping I wasn't e-stolen from you

You lost me at ml ... if it's too much to explain to my novice-gambling self, I understand, but I would like to know.

It's the time of the year and the mental energy teams currently have for their tourney goals that makes me think the spread won't be that great.

Personally, this isn't a game I would mess with but, if you do, I wish you luck and hope you hit.

ah, sorry.
ml = moneyline. taking the team to win the game straight up. you take out the spread and that will either increase your odds or decrease them depending on whether you take the dog or the favorite. if the line isn't ridiculous (im not sure what the cut off is for most books in college basketball, maybe 21 points?) then you can wager on either team to win straight up and thats called a ml (moneyline) wager.

Tonight you can take UCLA to win straight up and at bookmaker. You would have to rick 400$ for a 100$ return. If you bet on Stanford to win straight up you would risk 100$ to win 330$.

OK - then on this, one unit= $1 ??

a unit is based on the individual. a unit should represent a percentage of your bankroll. 1 unit could be 1% of your br and your base play could be a 2 unit play. 1 unit means 10$ for some, 100 for many, and it means 10K for people like Willie Bee. The term 'unit' is simply used so that people don't get caught up talking about specific dollar amounts. Thats more private information normally. This is something that can be used universally to track how well a handicapper is doing.

I so regret that the math portion of my brain is virtually dead.

So, then, if my br unit is $100 and I wager on Stanford at +330 and I win, what do I win?

your unit doesn't have any definite relation to your br. All a unit represents a figure thats easy to track with regard to record and +/- $. Some people post 3 unit plays, some people post 10 unit plays, some will only risk 1 unit with each play. Typically, when being tracked, we allow a unit to represent 100$. If you risked 100$ on Stanford at +330, and you won, you would win 330$. So, your bet payout would be 430 because you would also have your 100$ risk funded back to your account. Whatever number follows the (+) is the amount of money you'll win per 100$ bet. If then number is a (-) then you need to risk that amount for every 100$ you are looking to win. -500 means you risk 500 to win 100$. you would risk 1K to win 200$ and so on.

I don't know why, but the word "unit" is distracting me.

The bolded part above helped and I think I am on track now to become a serious gambler.

[moses millsap]

-380 on UCLA is value.

[aszzzbrokerman]

Why play anything but the total on this game?

The under is a gift from heaven and is to be treasured.

Mo, the Bruins are going to get an easy cover
