I'm hoping we win by 471.
Their defense is in the 50s. You look for them to put up more resistance tomorrow?
Up to -9.5 at my book now. Suspect it'll close somewhere between 10 and 11. Congrats to those who got it at 8.
That won't happen. UK will go with a fast paced up tempo game and drive to the basket.
World Open has it at 172.5 (-110). No books have open to public yet. Not even b&m's
This line is a bogus line because Vegas gets millions bet from California people coming in for the weekend.
They know the highest percentage of bettors will be from Cal. And UCLA fans. They keep it low and Vegas will make money if U.K. Blows them out.
Expect it to happen.
This game can go many different ways........ Im just saying I can see UCLA trying to slow the game down because its their best chance to win.... And Also Cal usually slows down these big time games himself.
Link?
I only ask because if its millions, the dollars are bet before they even get into town.
And why UCLA fans would factor in?
Cal isn't going to lose at home to this UCLA team. Cal doesn't lose at Rupp with really good teams. This year's UK team is a really good team (from the start).
UCLA will lose 5 to 1o games this year giving up 73 points a damn game. 5 if Ball is a Pro every game. 10 if he isn't. 73 a game is freaking bad. You can't get much worse and they played cupcakes and low end D1 power 5 teams.
Their defense says to me: 80-67 UK

Should never of stopped platooning 2 years ago..... but Cal slowed us down. Cal gets tight in big games.
What does the -110 / -115 mean? Is that how many pts UK will score ?? sorry I'm not a gambler so my knowledge pretty much ends with -11 meaning UK is favored by 11 lol.
It's the odds. If you bet $100 and it's at -110, you will win about $90. -115 would win about $85.
I highly doubt that either team slows the pace today. That's not the way Kentucky or UCLA plays this year, and this is just a pre-conference regular season game.
Go baby go.
Go baby go.
never understood the betting game; at least not to the extent you guys do
I do get that we're favored by 11.5 points meaning anything over that "we beat the spread" - the rest? Well, I'll just trust y'all on that [winking]
I think at -11.5 is a good time to jump in the opposite direction. Even if we are up by 20 with 5 minutes to go... UCLA shoots so well that they can score 12 pts in 30 seconds against Brad, Tai etc...
I just pulled the trigger and it had moved to 12 at -105. Hopefully "snooze you lose" doesn't get me and we win by 11.
As someone else stated, hopefully Brad and Co. don't doom me at the end.

I hate losing but people coming back down to earth is funny. Hopefully our team see's how much they have to improve.
I would hope that everyone learned a lesson but you all wont..... We'll end up beating Missouri by 35 pts and suddenly everyone will think we'll blow out KU by 20 ... LOL...

Just checking on who needs a loan. lol. One of these days some of you will realize that there are good basketball teams in the country other than UK.
What's there to learn? UK has been crushing the spread this year. The opening line was low, statistically speaking and it moved accordingly.
If everyone was right all the time like you guys then gambling wouldn't exist.
You are right every time, right?
You don't just show up to rub it in when UK plays below expectations and you guessed it?
With all this being right, what are you worth these days? 2 billion? 7 billion?
I'm not a gambler but I'll be sure to pay more attention next time.
