one example...Lakers over -800 v Pistons in the NBA finals a few years back

with big college basketball favorites, there will often be no moneyline on the game

I occasionally will take the big favorite moneyline on NCAA bball, 5Dimes comes to mind as a place that always has a line. How good that line is though is another story. I think you only have to get burned once to not be a big fan of the heavy favorite moneyline. For me, I had a bunch of extra money sitting in one of my accounts.. figured why not take the Rams over the Pats in the SB for a small, but "GUARANTEED" profit.
