Vegas has Clemson as a 4 point favorite

[Alsacs]

We are 4 point dogs. I guess Vegas doesn't like our road defense.
I don't bet on my team but damn is that low or what. I wouldn't bet against Cuse but that line screams pound Clemson(note people Please read between the lines)

This is exactly in line with how they have calculated opening lines all year. (And yet they are always headscratching even if the numbers match up).

Showing they have the fortitude to play good D on the road is still needed before any of us should get too egg-county.

Well you did pick -5 and I picked -4 I believe Then again that was before they got clobbered on the road I think. I also thought it'd be bet down to -2 or -3 so we'll see if that happens...

 

[Cusefan0307]

Down to 2.5 in some places.

Yeah my prediction of -4 bet down to -2 or -3 was before they got beat down at FSU... so I could see the line going further than that... the fact remains that it took an offensive onslaught against a team worse than Clemson for our only road win do so... so those bettors paying attention shouldn't go TOO crazy.

I wouldn't touch it.

The way I see it is that Clemson has just entered free fall. The players are in full scale revolt. Blossomgame tweeted that he supports changing the head coach. In addition, they only have one day prep for the zone. Blossom... only had 11 points against FSU. Can't imagine that their coach isn't going to give him some bench time, maybe even enough to collect splinters.

Another well-knownsite, scoresandodds.com has the opening as +2.5, and the line moving to +3. While similar, the movement is the opposite. They take aggregate #s, so I am not sure what to think.

I've been asking two3 about his bettting system(and it worked the first time i tried it!), but for the last 2 weeks Ive been getting the "moving" excuse. Ugh. I need action!!!! Captain needs action, folks!!!!! Will someone remedy this, please?!!? I might bust a spring here in a bit without proper attention to the situation! This isnt all fun and games for those of us first responders who put it on the line night and sometimes day.

Just keep in mind that every sports "betting system" is -EV. EVERY ONE.

 

[CaptainJ]

I just checked my book. As noted on scoresandodds.com it opened at +2.5, and mine currently has it at +3.5. The public(and maybe sharps) is apparently going heavily on Clemson!!!!

Every where I look it's 2 1/2 for Clemson, which is what I thought it would be. 5 was just too high. Clemson vs. FSU looked like Syracuse vs. St. Johns. They had only one day to get their heads screwed back on before facing us.

This seems like a "bet your kid's college fund" type game to me...

I remember just 6 days ago some people on this forum saying it was a no-brainer to go with NC State over Syracuse at pick-em.

 

[AlaskaSU]

Over on the Clemson board they say that this is easy money by betting on a Cuse win.

Couldn't agree more.

Laying the points with Clemson is the obvious lock of the century.

Really...he tweeted that. Maybe he sits tonight and should.I think Jason Kidd pulled that at Cal and Boeheim ripped him for that in public. JB said no one player should dictate who is his head coach should be.

"Jason Kidd's father felt that former Cal basketball coach Lou Campanelli was putting so much pressure on his son he was making him physically ill." Then Todd Bozeman became head coach and in very short order had them on probation by the NCAA for paying off a parent.
Kidd led a 7 player revolt against Lou. I will never forget JB strong words about it.

It's not really a "system", it's more of putting projections from analytics sites into an algorithm that gives me a final projection of the score which I then compare to the spread. When a spread or over (I don't bet unders) get's to a number that looks out of place then I hammer it.

Example:

Say Syracuse is +2.5 today but my result comes out Syracuse +7 I wouldn't touch the bet. I'm not saying that Syracuse isn't going to cover or anything but that's far more risky of a bet than the other games I do. I like to see at least a 10 point difference in my result and the spread to lay the money down and at least 15 on the o/u. I'm hitting roughly 65% of my bets this years.

My biggest issue is finding the time to input all of the numbers on a daily basis, if college basketball was a year long sport I'd actually consider quitting my job and rolling with it. I tested the "system" 2 seasons ago then went live last year and have been this year to great success.

From the FSU-Clemson recap: "Bacon made six 3-pointers and was 10 of 14 from the field. He had 18 points in the first half"

They should gone 2-3 zone. I can't believe they stuck with M2M the whole game.

It's all Gottlieb money. Boy is he going to be pissed off when we win.

65% is incredible. congrats

^^^^This in spades. Look for Cuse to show they can play tenacious defense away from the Dome. Syracuse wins this one going away. Take the points and the money to the bank.

Well he didn't tweet that, but he did like someone else's tweet that did apparently... at least that's the story on the Clemson board. Kind of strange how the line opened at -4 (some casinos opened it at a lower number) then it dropped quickly but now it's back to -4... I would think if this was big news that players are revolting the line certainly wouldn't be moving towards Clemson.

 

[jncuse]

Line is now up to 4.5 on my site.

I see some value in Syracuse at +170 on the money line.
