Would be interesting to arbitrage that.

I am lost. Mr Webster is not helping me.

Definition of arbitrage

(Entry 1 of 2)
1 : the nearly simultaneous purchase and sale of securities or foreign exchange in different markets in order to profit from price discrepancies
2 : the purchase of the stock of a takeover target especially with a view to selling it profitably to the raider

Essentially #1. True arbitrage by that definition in sports gambling would be having Ohio at -1 at one sports book and -2 at another. So you'd bet Ohio -2 then bet against Ohio at -1 to give yourself the free point. That is an inefficiency between markets; arbitrage=riskless profit

What I was getting at is a looser definition. If you had some model you believed in for betting purposes that was favoring Ohio out to some decimal place like .7 (>.5) you would round to bet -1 or .3 (<.5) you do the opposite. Or maybe take them 7/10 or 3/10 in those scenarios. Essentially just trying to capitalize on that margin between the whole number betting odds and the ratings going out to further decimal places... I'm no gambling expert but with fees I'd imagine this would only work at a large scale and that is also assuming the model you are using actually works

I've seen crazier things happen.

Miles Brown back. Don't see Ezuma or Olumide.

We're going to take these front row seats until they tell us we cant.

Beck and Ames not dressed for Miami, so kind of a wash on the absences. All the main guys are here.

No Mcday.

Nice little stretch from Sam Towns. Rebound, coast to coast layup, great defense, and heads up play on the baseline in mid air.

What a great take by Towns just under 10 minutes left in the first half, with some great rebounds and hustle play around it. Would love to see some more of that from him. Miles Brown with a good one not long after that should have been an and 1.

Maybe we should play Georgia Tech.

These guys were due for a good shooting night! This pairs nicely with a smothering defense!

Might be the saddest, most embarrassing 10 second violation I've ever seen. There's no excuse for that. You had a throw in!

What's sadder: This Miami team, or that they might still finish in the top 8 of the conference?
