March Madness Betting Info

[New York Knight]

Bookmaker ... on URI-DUKE


"Anytime Duke loses in March, it tends to be a good day for the house. Duke seems to factor into everyone's teasers on Saturday, with most holding Duke -3."

"We will be rooting for the 'dog here as a Rhode Island win would not only beat the teasers but take care of all the Duke moneyline parlays."

MGM Race And Sports ... on BUF-KY


“The thing here is the total. We opened 158.5 and it’s down to 155.5. That’s just a few sharp plays around a couple dimes each ($2,000)."

Bet DSI ... on LOYCHI-TEN


“Same story with Loyola-Chicago, as we took a ton of respected money on the Ramblers against Miami, and we're seeing those same guys grab this team again."

Vols open -6.5, bet down to 5 late last night, tick to 5.5, back to 5.

“The overall ticket count is pretty balanced, with 57 percent on the Vols, but the money handle favors the underdog 70/30.”

Bookmaker ... on BUF-KY


"Buffalo made some people believers with impressive win over Arizona. We opened Calipari's crew as 6-point favorites, but early action from both public and smart money has dropped the line down to 5.5."

"Not only are players looking for the Bulls to cover, but we have been writing Buffalo moneyline tickets since this game opened up." Buffalo around +210 on moneyline.

Bookmaker ... on OHIOST-GONZ


"GONZ opened up 2.5-point favorite, but smart money quickly moved line to 3.5. Some of our most respected gamblers came in on the Bulldogs, and it wasn't until we moved to 3.5 that we started to see some OHIOST money."

"Once we went to 3.5, we have seen an even balance of money on both the favorite and 'dog."

MGM Race And Sports ... on HOU-MICH


"A lot of parlays building up Michigan, but not much pointspread action yet at all."

Wolverines open -3, tick to 3.5 early this morning here in Vegas.

MGM Race And Sports ... on OHIOST-GONZ
