Here is a tip for you.

I had Bucky Irving under too, BUT I had u61.5 -125, so I barely won. Irving got up to 64, but on his last carry, he lost yards. Lucky me.

But how did I get u61.5?

Indeed it was 58.5 -114 on BOL's "prop builder" section. However, if you went to the additional selections for the game (just click on the main selection on the Football page), you also would find Bucky Irving u61.5 -125. Two separate lines by two separate providers. The first is a third-party contracting with BOL, the second is BOL itself. You don't always have this option (many times BOL itself doesn't offer the prop), but sometimes you do. I always examine it and take the better of the two lines.

This one I had to make a decision if I wanted 11 points extra juice for 3 yards. I decided I did.

Anyway not sure where you're betting, but if you have BOL, check both sections.

Look at my NBA season so far:

Nov 7-17: 1-10 (-9.09 units)

All other days: 32-14 (+18.40 units)

All bets are 1 flat unit for these record keeping purposes.

No. I have an account with a local that has prop builder built in as a 3rd party link. The book itself offers very little props, but I admit I didn't even check. There is generally little difference, and the base juice is -120 for the book vs -114 for prop builder; so I have gotten in the habit of not even checking if the book itself has prop lines that are better.

I have no clue if it would have mattered in this case, or if a Irving prop was even offered, but point taken.

Do you have a BOL account?
