looks like to me some of the bigger bets were made on seattle at +21

again , maybe local knowledge , maybe nothing?

False. They set lines where they think they can make the most money. If it's balanced, great. They took a shot with Seattle, dropping the line despite the obvious public money, against an overrated Maryland team and lost.

i think it's the hardest sport to beat , i think a bettor has a better chance in bases , nfl , college football , nba and hockey

to me , i think there are few people that win at any sports betting , and i am willing to bet that college basketball has fewer winners than the other sports i listed , and i am willing to guess that any bookmaker in the country will love taking action every night from anyone (not just joey) who plays double digit favorites every night

I think it's the easiest sport to beat, and has the most "professional" players. Two main reasons: (1) HUGE slates of games. It's much easier to pass on any specific game for a better opportunity. (2) Focus- one can select leagues or teams to track performance on whereas Vegas has so many games to worry about there's a much better chance that your numbers/analysis are better than theirs (which is virtually impossible to do in the NFL.)

a pro player can have success betting college hoops , no question , in my opinion the avg player does not beat the books in college hoops , they tend to play more games than they should and chase , there are fewer games in the nfl and nba to chase on

definitely agree with this. as far as I'm concerned though, there's no point in betting if you are just out there throwing darts.
