This seems to be one of those games Vegas is looking to make a lot of money on. They know that everybody is going to be jumping on LSU, just like they did against Florida, but every week there are a couple of games where Vegas seems to know something we don't and they take everybody's money.

Thats not how Vegas or any book works. They could care less the winner, just enough points +/_to make 50% bet one way and 50% the other.


Pretty much. Neither Vegas nor professional gamblers intentionally gamble

I never bet on anything I can't "fold".

The big blind pisses me off.

Huh...no really I understand what you are saying..they make the money on the juice....but a rested bama after open date and playing at home might be worth 8.5....you got to bet with your head and not your heart...that's why I never bet on LSU or The Saints.
