I often times don't find the time to be here on the forum this time of the year due to the very large CBB and NBA Cards. I am however going to make a large effort to do so and have even started steps to shorten Client Write-ups which will allow me more time to handicap and be here as well. In addition we are going to be discussing some aspects of Betting Hoops Totals which might help some understand how it works. For now I have a play..
#555 Southern Illinois/Bradley OVER 131.5: As you already know the Sports Book Pinnacle has chosen NOT to post all CBB Totals and that makes them a P*U*S*S*Y. They do not have this one but most all other books do except Bovada which only has Totals late in the day that Pinny does. (Refer to what I called Pinnacle and add BIGGER) This is not likely to be much of a game with the Salukis being one of the better shooting teams in the Land and the Braves being one of the worst. D skills for both are not overboard and Pace-Wise they are not in the upper half of the field. But we do have a large favorite playing on the road and in conference play and that according to our database lends itself to a higher point total at a large percentage of the time. SIU is not scared of the road, actually scoring MORE when they travel and they don't mind pouring it on. We have other reasons why we like this game as well that puts our number higher than what is posted. This number has been stable since the opend of 131.5 but my best guess is that it will go upward during the betting cycle. So if you are inclined I would get it now.
