Really disappointed by their performance definitely playing way below the standard they set this season. Delaware on the other hand has way exceeded expectations and whatever happens can hold their heads high

So this magic cake that you can eat and still have on your plate, where do you get it?

Milagro Bakers?

They favor the team that should win, but not by too much unless the difference is drastic. Then people bet each thinking both sides are reasonable.

To repeat; they favored UVA because if they dogged then they would have way too many bets that's they might lose. We are saying the same thing

I do not agree. I think RPI is perfectly fine.

I'm going to make a hypothesis based on the interactions I've had today. Since your comments lack any use of logic deductive reasoning or tact, I'm going to guess you are a Cornell fan not named cu77

Apologies...what I meant was "The current RPI system they are using'.

Meaning: we have no clue what they're gonna do when they show up to decide. They have told us flat out that they apply different standards to different teams. So for some, it's straight RPI. For others like Duke? They ignored RPI, and went with other numbers like QW's, SOS, and Bad losses.

You're ok with that? i thought we all agreed that using different standards for each team was inherently flawed...and teams have NO IDEA if they will get a big heading into the smoke-filled room.

no mav, they don't favor the team that should win. they favor the team that will draw 50% money on each side. the line is what the betting public thinks. that's all. the betting public could be completely wrong. vegas doesn't care.
