Was this a bad line?

Always unsure to "pull the trigger" on something like this. All offshore's had St.Mary's (ncaa hoops) moneyline at -370. 5dimes had them at -154. Was this an example of a bad line and will they void it or is this something you see with Ncaa hoops (smaller teams)?

If most shops were sporting say......

-370
+300

..........then I would be very hesitant in laying -160 or less someplace as that certainly can be declared a BAD LINE.

In a case such as this, I would pass the game.

In fact, would call the book and see.

That's my thought to. Just seems a little out of line with others but wasn't sure if it was that way because it was a small ncaa game. Guess the only way to find is to call them and find out for sure. I'm sure that would be safest.

No doubt that's a bad line. In that case I would call them and tell them - they might even give you a bonus.

It sure would be, and who knows, they may even reward you in some small way for pointing it out to them.
