Tonight's Line????

[UD90]

I haven't been able to find a line on tonights game. Does anyone have the line?

[Snackman]

Doesn't look like this game will be on the board. I haven't seen a line anywhere.

CBS Sportsline has us as a 78-62 winner. I sure hope the prediction is right!

Wow ! Mercer beats Alabama and Auburn and takes G-Tech to Ot...and we are a 16pt favorite ? id like some of that...

I haven't seen any yet, so I guess there won't be. Accuscore.com did do their 10,000+ simulations of the game (no clue how) and it said we won 91% of the time by an average score of 78-61.

I know that gambling is wrong and sinful, but I'm a little aggravated that I can't ever bet on the Flyers. Why isn't there a line for tonight? This is a serious question...I would like some insight if anyone has any. For those of you interested though, there is a line out for the exciting matchup between Florida Atlantic and James Madison....ridiculous.

Trust me, you do not want to bet on Dayton. You will be scarred for life when one of your favorite players misses a free throw when the game is hand. You will be happy Dayton won, but whenever you see your ex-favorite player that cost you money, you will hold a grudge forever. **** you Ramod Marshall!!!!

Yeah, I was disappointed last year when I was in Vegas and just wanted to put some money on the Flyers in their first game. I didn't realize that they don't always have a line on every game.

[Canonball]

Probably even money as nobody knows squat about these teams. If anything UD is probably the dog.

My last sports was during the Purnell era - I was in Vegas and bet $5 on UD on the road to cover a 9-point spread against Rhode Island, who was not playing well at the time.

These details might be wrong, but what I remember is that late in the second half UD is up by more than 20 and Purnell empties the bench. URI starts pouring in 3-pointers and closes to within 11 with :02 left in the game. UD has the ball out of bounds, so all they have to do is get it in and it's a winning bet. Of course a URI player steals in the inbounds pass and hits nothing but net on a miracle 3-pointer at the buzzer, and I lose my bet.

Never put the rent money on a sports bet!

	Rhode Island RHODE ISLAND The University of Rhode Island was chartered as the state's agricultural school in 1888. The school became the Rhode Island College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in 1892. Located in southern Rhode Island, URI is a quintessential New England campus - rural in feeling yet close to the city of Providence, the state's capital. Linked to the city, the beaches, and nearly every corner of the state by both rail and public transit, the campus is easily accessible from Boston and New York URI currently offers 100 majors in seven degree-granting colleges. There are more than 12,000 students on the Kingston campus, about 3,000 in Providence, and a complement of about 700 faculty. Fellow members of the A10 Conference. Nickname is the Rams.

Unless one team is highly rates, both teams have to be members of a conference that Vegas puts lines on for the game to get a game. Unless they are playing a top 10 team, Atlantic Sun games will not have lines.

Vegas needs to ensure that enough money is put on both sides that they get a reasonable amount of action on the game. Their concern is that if a game won't generate enough interest to get people to bet on it, they could end up with all the money on one side, then they lose if that side covers.

As for why the FAU/JMU game has a line, Vegas does put a line on both Sun Belt (FAU) or CAA (JMU games, but not Atlantic Sun games.
