Would it be cruel to count the number of bad ideas in this thread?
Settle for this one: these guys bet sides with advantages of 2.5 to 5.5, but SWITCH sides, and fade, at an advantage of 6.
So I guess, if you line shop carefully and find an extra half point, sometimes that would cause to bet against your pick.
Of course there's this beauty, where the poster is talking about KenPom's methodology:
"The math is way to hard to do if you didn't go to college for it. I took a look at it and there were many foreign things."
Which is brilliantly misunderstood, misread, whatever, by someone responding with this:
Hey TrapperDapper, I'm a fuking high school drop out, sorry the math was wrong, you probably never make a mistake, I don't need your fuking sarcasm.
If this is all you have to contribute, STFU
Another favorite: someone asking this question:
Is it acceptable to buy Ohio St. down to 3 pt dif? So from 26.5 to minus 25? That would qualify.
Yes, why not, if you're looking for X points advantage before betting, just buy X points.
Okay, okay, I'm being heartless and maybe snobbish, but in a way the gazillion threads that read like this one are amazing and depressing and fascinating, in a train-wreck kind of way.
