iodds shows : 56% on peacocks (674 picks) and 44% on saints (523 picks). Are you sure abt the numbers verdes, I was leaning peacocks all day, but your post convinced me to pick saints.Comment -
Here's what I found at thespread.com. St. Peters is blue.

What you'll find is that a lot of the sites out there like wagerline (in the past, and others currently) base their consensus numbers on people making random 'picks' rather than on actual number of bets with real money. As for thespread.com and others, I subscribe to the maxim of "you get what you pay for." There's a reason why you have to pay for sportsinsights and sportsoptions, and I'd argue they provide a more accurate picture of the consensus because they are paid services.Comment -
I'll go with Siena and see what happens.Comment -
Greek's got Siena at +1/-105 ML. I wouldn't play St. Peters given that.Comment -
Best of luck on St. Peter'sComment -
Down to PK now

Siena is now favored at The Greek, Pcik'em at most places.Comment -
the short answer is that bball is not like football where certain key numbers are much more valuable than others...i.e. on nfl sunday, -2.5 is worlds better than -4.5, whereas -4.5 is only marginally better than -6.5.
in bball, every point is huge, so there's a huge difference if a line moves 2 points against you. as a RAS subscriber, i cannot emphasize this enough. yesterday i misclicked my mouse at release time and got portland state -2.5 instead of -1.5. naturally, they won by 2. i was stupid to bet it. went 3-4 instead of 4-3. doing that often is the difference b/t going 53% vs. 57% in a season.Comment -
Maybe I can try to help you out.
Line movement does not decide outcome at all. However, one of the factors that moves a line is the amount of money coming in on one team. Therefore, if professional bettors are all hitting the same side you should see some line movement. This obviously does not mean you have a winner, but since pro's hit at a slightly higher rate than the general public, there is a better chance the team getting steamed in the correct side.
However, I think this can be an over emphasized. Because, the pros are also getting a better number contributing to their higher win percentage.
LT Profits probably sets his own lines. He had a lean on Siena at +2, would prbably had played them at +3, but does not like them under +2.Comment -
Siena is -1 at the GreekComment -
Back in the game finally....looks like im gonna roll with Siena +1
its great to be back on SBRComment -
nothing wrong with that angle at all. especially with a small school like this playing on national tv, i expect the crowd to be amped (i.e. shitfaced).
game about to start, best of luck to everyone, even the st. peters backers.
edit: i'll say this as the game starts. As a former hs/college baller, this stat stuck out to me from St. Pete's leading scorer Jenkins:
^^that's insane. I gotta think that 3 point percentage will come back down to earth at some point. Hope it's tonight!Jenkins, a mere 38.8 percent shooter from the field in the 11 games in which he has appeared, is tops on the scoring chart for the Peacocks with his 14.1 ppg, thanks largely to his 47.9 percent accuracy beyond the arc.Comment -
Late money looked to be on St. PetersComment -
This play was subjected to the deathly dual curse of jjgold and broke landers. The siena players caught wind of that and gave up early, knowing they would not only not win but get blown out .Comment -
look at all these fukks who doubt me...unreal.
And they make excuses that jj "jinxed" it. don't play off of superstitions people.Comment
