Favorites have an innate advantage when betting college basketball

[Acebb]

The fouling just assured those of us who took K-State -5 covered...

Justin, just retire and bets favorites. You're onto something.

He's innocent until proven guilty of his crime.

Get a sample of 100,000 games with favorites going off at -3-4-5-6-7-8-9. Produce a graph on these 700,000 games, then give it to the jury.

Regardless of the courts' findings, give me points coupled with +101 or higher.

WTF are you trying to say here? Think about what you just posted.

So, what if a -7 favorite is losing the game outright by 3 with .30 to go? The favorite has the advantage?

No then the dog has the advantage. Even more so...

So take the dog when they are winning, the favorite when they are winning and not covering. And take the Hooisers when JC says not to (but only on the 3rd Tuesday of each month)
