    Sportsbooks not posting totals on NCAAB

    In the past usually books hold off on posting totals for the first month or so until they get a feel on the teams. We are now two months into the season and many big books won't throw totals for non power 6 conference basketball games. I spoke with someone at Youwager and they said they will only be doing TV games this year. That is Blowdog status. I am shocked that books won't throw totals on all conferences. Even Pinny won't post!

    Books that do post totals on all games 5 Dimes, Betonline, Heritage, Sportbet

    I think that is it for books for US members.

    I notice none throw overnights for totals as well.

    What is the industry coming to? Will this change now that football is almost over or are we going to get stuck with limited totals and no overnights for them.

    The games have been so low scoring, that the books have no clue what the totals shoulsd be so far

    This last poster with the really creepy picture is correct....

    Books have taken it in the shorts the last 5 years because it is too easy to beat totals. Even with the limited number of totals posted, they are still beatable. This is befuddling because surely they could come up with an elementary model to give them sharper lines... but they just don't. They are not that bright.

    So when you can't create a good line, you just stop posting a line. There are simply fewer opportunities now than there used to be. The books posting all the totals (close to game time) actually have sharp lines on them from what I've observed. Only about 1 book that posts totals for all games will actually pay you if you win though. so good luck if you take the fools gold on this one.
