Hypothetical question about Indy/Tenn game last week

[tech]

Line was around 15.5. People were still betting Indy. How high would the line have needed to be to balance action? 17? 21? 24? More?

in the 3+1 league, I took Indy. I would not have put real money on them unless it was something like -10. I would have not played the game in the 3+1 league if it had been higher than -17 I think.

Why make bets in 3+1 that you wouldn't in real life?

For me, I would say 3 TD's. I had Tenn in a teaser at +22. Didn't work out so well. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

I know you're just poking some fun but for a serious answer, there are some weeks (like this one) where I like less than four games. The remaining picks are just hunches to fill out the form. Otherwise, I absolutely take them in real life as well.

As for Indy, I liked them last week to tease them down butnot enough to bet them straight. For me, I guess the line was already high enough (-16 at my book) not to take them straight.

I make around 2-3 sports bets per week, and usually only ones that are heavily confirmed by fellow posters. I don't take it very seriously, and it would be silly to actually make real money bets on games just because I'm dinking around with play money on this forum.

17.5, and I base that on nothing.

I would have bet Tennessee at +32.5 or so.

Doug, I'm glad I've read enough of your posts to know when you're being sarcastic, because otherwise I'd just think you sucked at sports betting. /images/graemlins/smile.gif
