BBN: I read posts on here where many in BBN bet the games. If one of you could explain how all this works, I would appreciate it. Just curious, have no intention of betting any games.
Lets take UK-Gonzaga
This is what I rad today:
UK... o165.5 (-105) Spread...+6.5. total...o166.5 (-115). ML +220
Gonzaga... -6.5 -115. 6.5 (-110). u166.5. (-105). -275

What the hell odes all this mean?
Thank you for your input.
 
Spread means if you took Cats and the 6.5 Zags would have to win by 7. That 165.5 is the teams combined score, and it would take 166 points if you was to bet the total points. The Zags 275 is just picking them to win 🏆. So let me help you out for today's gambling
OREGON-3.5 THEY BEAT PENN ST BY ATLEAST 4.
ZAGS MONEYLINE-275 WE SHOULD ALL BE PAYING FOR THIS WIN. I WILL PUT 100 ON THESE GAMES 2DAY. FYI I WON OVER 3 GRAND THIS MONTH SO I'M NOT LEADING YOU WRONG... GO CATS!!

Help this old fart out: are you betting UK to win?
I want us to win every game and just could not bring myself to bet against the Blue.
I made one huge mistake once going against my blue feelings and it haunts me to this day.
Go Cats!
And thanks for your reply.

If you wanna make money you play the best possible outcome. Today's is OREGON-3.5 and Zags winning in thier back yard. Take OREGON-3.5 and Gonzaga to win on the moneyline. Then if we win we are still top 7 and have a nice seed brewing in the tournament.
 
The (-110) is the payout. Essentially, you bet $110 to win $100 + the original $110 back. That same 110 to 100 ratio is used regardless of if you bet $10 or $7000. You’ll also see underdog lines of positive number payout such as +105. That means for every $100 bet you’d win $105

UK +4 means we are being given 4 points I.e. we are a 4 point underdog so even if we lose the game by 3, that means we covered the spread and you still won the bet
 
Just bet all of your money. If you win, you'll get clout on here. If you lose, send us a postcard.

There is actually a way to play and turn a profit without donating it all. Most people won't put in the homework to make the money return to thier favor.
