The spread is based on the bets. So, yes, you're an idiot.




God y'all are fricking retarded. If every person in Mississippi bet on our game there would not be enough to outweigh everyone else in the country betting on it.

The spread moves because the betting becomes lopsided. The majority of people in the entire country would have to bet on State, not a "few people from Starkville" like he stated.

Exactly how many people do you think are betting on this game?

1. Was pointing out that you don't seem to get that "Vegas" has nothing to do with the line. No 'experts,' analysts, or anything of the sort is involved. It starts as an estimation of where the betting will fall in line, and it moves only with the money put down. Lines have started at -10 for a team, and moved to +10 within days. That's the point -- "Vegas" never loses. They just sit back and collect money.
2. I never said "a few people from Starkville." I said "delusional grinders." There is a huge difference -- don't misquote me.

The spread is designed to keep betting even on both sides. When the line first opened at EVEN, the vast majority of money (94-96%) was placed on MSU, so they adjusted the line to MSU -1.5 at about 2pm on the 29th. Over the course of the next 5 hours, the money shifted towards A&M, so that by 7pm, the majority of money (55%) was coming in for A&M. Since that point, the majority of money has been going to A&M.
