I'll just leave this here.

Wow. If I was in Vegas I think I would put some serious $$$ on Tech.

Shame on me for that thought!

[GooooMarquette]

Don't know anything about GT, but I am surprised to see us favored given how we've been playing.  Hope the folks in Vegas are right.

Still riding on reputation, it would appear

Take Georgia Tech and the points. Just sayin'

Yup!! Win-Win situation! Make money and lose a game we all expect to lose. Lose a little money and make the winners bracket!!

Lucky for us, whenever I do this I usually lose money. Financial stability is never in my cards.

I'll see if my betting trends works again!!

No..... you should be praised for putting brains before emotion unlike many in this forum.

I don't think anyone, even the most optimistic of us, would be putting money on Marquette tomorrow.

Vegas doesn't care about reputation.  It appears Vegas thinks very little of GT.

If MU plays defense they will win. They showed it can be done at the end of the NJIT game. Let's see how they start out against GT. That will be the best indicator if this team can be taken seriously. Let's not give up hope just yet.

They have, like 17 guys on their roster. Maybe they'll borrow a couple to us.

But Lammers is the only guys I'm interested to see for them.

I like MU in this one

You mean "lend".  I can borrow something from you, but you can't "borrow" anything TO me.   Usually this covered around 6th to 7th grade English class and reinforced throughout grade school.

Oh awesome, a grammar coach on a chat board. Take the white wig off, grab a beer, and lighten up.

So it's covered in 7th grade, but refinforced (sic) throughout grade school? The timing seems strange.

There are several other errors you made. Leave the English lessons to the MASTERS!!!!!!!

College basketball is one of those Vegas bets where a lack of overall info can benefit the very informed bettor.  Recall that the bookmakers ONLY objective is to get equal dollars on each side such that the house is simply getting the rake.  I was in Sin City over the weekend and on Monday (and hence not at either game in person).  The line against NJIT was -20 as I recall.  I thought it absolutely crazy but almost as a matter of policy I don't bet against MY teams.  So rather than winning a $25 bet, I simply watched the game.  I do recall what I believe was Jimmy Butler's senior year when we consistently out performed the line.  I won several modest bets that winter.

This is incorrect, Georgia Tech is favored. The spread opened at 2 points and now it's up to 4.

MUEagle1090 originated this post.  The question that should be asked is if he stupid for not being able read a spread correctly or he should be praised for not being familiar with betting lines like the rest of us degenerates. 

[Atticus]

Actually, it goes to show how little everyone thinks of G-Tech

That is what I'm seeing.

 I'll take Georgia tech by 11.  MU is going to get pounded on the boards in this one.

A reasonable assessment but there is hope.

[Tums Festival]

Vegas.com now has Georgia Tech at -4½.

I'm with Jay Bee on this.  Favorable match up
