I watch a lot of college BBall, but don’t bet it a lot. However Ohio St jumps off the page to me being only a 5.5 point favorite. They have few losses recently, but not by tons. Nebraska has gotten beaten pretty badly in some of their losses. What’s your thoughts on putting a few bucks on Ohio State??

My model is still pretty high on Ohio St and only has them as a 6 point favorite. I don't think 5.5 is a slam dunk. Nebraska is not that bad and they are at home.

The model I use has it at 5.2. I'm really interested in how this goes.

When it comes to gambling, I take my advice from Sky Masterson (Guys and Dolls):

  • Sky Masterson : One of these days in your travels, a guy is going to show you a brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken. Then this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the jack of spades jump out of this brand-new deck of cards and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not accept this bet, because as sure as you stand there, you're going to wind up with an ear full of cider.

Nebraska up 5-2 very early in the game.

OSU must be tired. An OT game with us on the heels of a devastating loss at home to Purdue, must be difficult to overcome. I'm hoping they can summon up enough energy to prevail in this one, which would be good for RU since we've played them twice already and will only play Nebraska once.

Go OSU. We will NOT lose a tiebreaker to them. Should root for all such teams - Purdue, Northwestern, Maryland, OSU, Indiana, as much as that last one pains me

Watching this game, I am surprised by how quiet their arena is in a close game against OSU.

I can hear individual fans shouting out, like this is really quiet.

Meh, this is good in general, but winning at sports betting is absolutely possible. The issue is at most sites you will quickly get limited to very small bets if they figure out you can win.
