Too early to play the odds

I was reading the sports page this morning and saw the odds posted for basketball games that would be played later in the day. This early in the season there are a lot of games being played by the haves versus the have-nots.

There are also some games that look highly competitive. The amount of points that the favorites are expected to win by varies from 2–32 points.

Some of the game will be blowouts; a few will be nail biters.

It’s early in the season and if you feel secure in betting on the game between Kansas and Nebraska-Omaha you have 32 points to work with. Remember a 35-point lead isn’t...
