Maryland backers got screwed

nimue77 · Dec 11, 2005

up 2 with 2.2 to go and they throw in and never touch the ball and it goes out of bounds. They end up winning by 2 after b.c. also throws the ball away to end game. I was hoping to see exactly 4.

Yup, that was an awful ending...oh well.

ClipJoint · Dec 11, 2005

I would say you had a chance...but hitting both free throws in college is far from a "gimme"...not to mention BC still was going to get another shot.

Frustrating loss...but far from getting screwed.

maryland could have dunked or layed it in with one second to go. but he dribilled it out.

nimue77 · Dec 11, 2005

Or the guy right next to him could have fouled.

I had -2 and was pretty pissed how it ended...that's college basketball for you though...

bullring · Dec 12, 2005

who the hell would bet a basketball team at -2?? Take it on the ML or at least by a half point. Anything under 5 pts in basketball. Children know this.

i had maryland -4....and im glad i didnt stay home to watch the ending of it cuz im sure i woulda threw something....i saw the highlights and noticed we fawked up the pass from out of bounce...and then had a chance to lay in the bucket when maryland stole the ball but instead dribbled around...

ugh, fuckers

Dead wrong. It's ridiculous to make such generalizations as no one lays -2. You have to consider the options available and go from there. You might have the choice of either -2-105 or -135ML. You mean to tell me that you'd go with -135?

NEWPORT · Dec 12, 2005

You were only screwed if you bet the spread. I had the money line both in the first half -155, and for the 2nd half -125, and I pushed the 2nd half, but playing money lines in close spread games is worth the cost, if you are gambling appropriately. gl NEWPORT

MONEY LINES......people should not be afraid of them, but embrace

bullring · Dec 13, 2005

I'd rather take -135 than get screwed because of 1 or 2 points. better to have a short price, than a long face, RIGHT!?!?

AlwaysKeen · Dec 13, 2005

bullring, you've got a lot to learn about handicapping...I bet the game -2 (-105) on an overnight line at pinnacle...they didn't even offer a money line on the game at that point...
