I'd think it would be similar, unless a high spread like 20 +, probably worth more on a total than in NBA, under 10 points I can't see it being radically different in value, but I'm not a CBB guy.

I'm going to venture a guess and say it's worth more in the NBA. I always thought points were worth more in general in the pros for each of their respective sports.

But let's see what Fish says :)

my guess would be that it is worth MORE in NCAAB....

reason:

all in all, the totals are LOWER, MUCH LOWER, than NBA....

usually, the lower the total, the bigger the impact of a 1/2 point.......

nba is always worth more than the cbb..... the current exchange rate....is 1$ american to 1.15 canadian..... therefore the canadian bb is worth less...................:puppy:

I think, for similar spreads, the difference is very small, basically negligible. Lean to certain key numbers in NBA (7,2,5) but all in all I think CBB hits the number as often as NBA.

depends on the distribtion of results (i.e. how "tight" the lines are)

sure lower totals might be better within one sport/league but you are comparing apples to oranges

There are definitely key numbers/ranges in both CBB and NBA too.

haven't found any "key numbers" in NCAA myself

sure some are better than others, but not by a whole lot

The 3 is much stronger in college than the pros. So many more attempts, and makes. Plus a even higher % of shots taken. As far as buying or selling, generally they are the same, but the actual value of a half is debatable, unless you reveal after the fact you bought one.

found a thread from back in the day where Fish said that he assumed cbb half points were 5 cents a side and that middling cbb is harder than NBA. Just wondering if he changed his mind on this matter.

I agree that lower total sides are worth a bit more than higher ones.
