Opening game of the season, replacing 5 starters on D and a Heisman finalist on O. I could see the game being closer than 14 points. It isn't an idiotic bet.


That can go both ways, so I would wait until later in the season for a big bet on a game like this!

Once again if one team is over matched this much on both lines and one team has a short inaccurate QB then you should be smarter with money. But hey he's money Mayweather.

Imagine it like this:

+14 is like the game starts out with Bama 14 & Mich 0.

unless Caesars has suddenly changed the concept of the point line...+14 implies that the opposite team can win by 13 for the pay out or 14 for a push...Thus an ending score of Bama 14 Mich 0 would net a push. you are in essence allowing Bama a 13 point lead and still securing a pay out...how was he backwards?

OK, maybe I am wrong here. what would be the terms on a taking Mich at +14. (does that not allow Bama a 13 point lead?)I bet weekly in Nevada but maybe I am somehow off here....please do elaborate.

PBF may eventually be forced to fight PacMan to recoup his losses from his gambling habit if he keeps taking bad bets like this one.

For Mayweather to win, Michigan has to either win or lose by 13 or less. Losing by 14 is an even money push.

I took N. Texas at +43 assholes....LSU failed to win by more than 43 so I get the pay out...maybe in the redneck convenience store football pool that you guys gamble in that doesn't make sense...but in Vegas my tickets fricking cash....frick off.
