Both guys need to retire from poker asap, they’re terrible players and if either tries high stakes with their winnings it’s going to be a bad time
If Saaskilahti calls this is the worst played hand in the history of tournament poker, by both players

You still don't get it. Take Indiana-Oregon round 1 for instance last year.

Line opens Oregon -9.5 total 55.5. Money is heavy on Oregon and over from the jump, in the end 79% of the money ended on Oregon and 70% on the over.

Despite this, the line actually finished at Oregon -6.5 and total 51.5 at most books.

Weather wasn't an issue, nor were injuries. Yet both lines moved counter to the betting trends. In the end money got stacked on the wrong side, and the public lost their arse.

Vegas's model said the public was way too bullish on Oregon and set/moved the lines appropriately to disincentivize bets on Indiana/under.

I know exactly what you mean...went skydiving the other day and was absolutely disgusted by the number of pussies using parachutes. Completely ruined the experience
16-0 and beat the brakes off bama in the playoffs on a neutral field.

I called them winning the title and Mendoza's heisman on this very board going into the Illinois game last year and was lampooned...and after watching Hoover's film, I'm ready to do it again. Mendoza is a better pro prospect, but they might actually improve at QB this year. Hell the entire team is going to be better outside of losing Ponds and Coogan

1. Mostly lipstick on a pig...for instance, given the weather, USC has no need for an indoor practice facility
2. You do realize the B1G has won the last 3, er Indiana's about to go b2b, so, 4 titles?
3. Less in conference travel is a good thing?
4. Louisiana vs Southern California...now consider that from a teenager's perspective

Let's say $20,000,000 total is wagered on Oklahoma futures and, conservatively, 70% of money is on the over(likely closer to 80% in reality)

Bet over: $14 million
Book risk: $9.33 million
Bet under: $6 million
Book risk: $7.32 million

If over hits, books are -$3.33 million. If under hits, books are +$6.68 million. 7.5 at those odds was set specifically with the intention of stacking public money on the over, which is what's going to happen. Something like 8.5 at O -110, U +130 would have gotten ~equal money on both sides. But instead books chose to bait people into betting the over, and there's only one reason that would happen

That's exactly how betting lines work, chief.

LINK

That site actually shows line changes and tickets/money for all the major apps. The whole getting equal money on each side and collecting vig isn't always the goal, when the opportunity presents it's far more lucrative set a line in a way to stack money on one side and have that side lose

Under 7.5 is +122, Over 7.5 is -150. To neutralize risk, the books would need 42.88% of the money bet on the under.

Given the vast majority of money wagered on CFB futures are by fans of those teams, at +122 and -150 for 7.5, there's a 0% chance even 1/4 of the money gets bet on the under.

So ask yourself this, since the majority Oklahoma fans believe their team will win at minimum 9 games this season, why would the books set it at 7.5? Even most neutral fans will look at that line and think the over is easy money. Surely the books know the risk that line will put them at?

O/U 7.5 at those odds tells you the books are taking a position and that position is under 7.5 for Oklahoma
Uh, taking Bama out of it because he wasn't the HC and that is likely what Saban was referring to, what exactly does LSU have over USC from a potential standpoint?

So if someone had the opportunity to pick exactly what their SO looked like and that SO would perpetually obey/acquiesce to whatever they ask/request without conflict/complaint, you're telling me someone wouldn't choose that?
Their WRs, OL and front 7 will all be better this year than they were last year. The secondary should be comparable. That just leaves it up to the QB, and the guy was a solid starter at TCU for 3 seasons.

Indiana didn't even need a heisman level QB to win the title last year, a game manager would have been enough with how great the rest of the team was
2025 Indiana likely goes undefeated in the SEC no matter the schedule
You should take a look at what Indiana is returning/upgraded via portal. If the QB from TCU works out, they could easily repeat
You don’t even need to do that, simply open the drawer and give back correct change. Remove excess cash at end of shift so everything balanced

Cash at stadiums will never work due to the type of people working those kiosks and the costs required to monitor them
