Message: [QUOTE="ORRange, post: 861090, member: 1986"] Just that -1 would indicate that the oddsmakers felt that 'Nova was the better team (since we have a point advantage playing at home). If 'Nova was a slight favorite or we were -7, those numbers would indicate a so called trap. In those type of instances, regardless of public perception that they always want even money on both sides, they are trying to entice the public to select a certain side. These instances are rare but occur. Remember that they have all the numbers (Kenpom etc) at their disposal but are still willing to put a strange number on a game. [/QUOTE]
