    How is -16.5 (+100) a special when the normal line is currently at -13.5 (-110)? Selling 3 points for 10 cents?

      Thats the side we do not want you to play. Your best bet with this special is to take the Aggies and +16.5 points.

        I don't think -16.5 -125 gets to the point of being a break even bet....

          do you mean +16.5?

          i think buying 3 points off of both sides of 14 is well worth -125 instead of -110, but legends/bodog are already up to +14 -110

            How about something like:

            Texas A&M +20.5 (-210) // Oklahoma -20.5 (+160), or
            Texas A&M +23.5 (-285) // Oklahoma -23.5 (+225)?

              OU will cover easily IMO. That Texas Tech shocker has set the Sooners up to cover for the rest of the year.

                Yea, I meant +16.5...

                Using SBR's half point calculator this is only a few cents better then pinnacle's price and still slightly below the fair price using cris's number... With numbers already leaning towards 14 probably better to pass unless you have already have a good lean towards Texas A&M or the number shifts clearier to 13.5 (or you have more acturate half point values then what's provided in the calculator)...

                  Hey John, who do you like in this game? I know you are from Texas and probably have good knowledge on these two teams. Gun to your head who would you take?

                    When it comes to John's special offers, the line says it all as to where he's leaning...

                              I don't see the "special" in this offer, but that's just me.

                                  Why? A&M is erratic and Sherman is an awful coach.

                                    Agree! A&M is fading down the stretch. I like Landry Jones to have a huge game and pull away in the early in the 2nd half.

                                        I remember when SBR "specials" used to be special and not just overpriced ALT lines


                                        Special offers used to be a fun way for SBR to give out free points to posters now SBR is just a sleazy bookmaker trying to convince unknowing players into thinking they are getting a deal.

                                          yeah, i'm sick of alternate lines. the old specials were way better.

                                            I think that has more to do with either John has gotten smarter, or John is getting luckier than the lines themselves.

                                              I'm taking it as a suggestion to lay money on Oklahoma and points on TAMU as a consolation just in case.

                                                Texas A&M +16 1/2 is tempting.

                                                    I remember when SBR posters used to be grateful for the schmorgesborg of free crap SBR routinely gives them... oh wait, that never happened. At least not from sharpcat

                                                    Good luck this afternoon gents
