UCLA is a given. I'm thinking SC has a shot but Tenn not so much. I'm still going with the thugs but I hope SC wins.

The HBC gets the upset today against Richt's (a fine man - he spoke at my church, you know) Dawgs. USC 24. UGA 17

Charlie Strong's nightmare in Austin continues. The Bruins win this one with great ease. UCLA 41 Texas 14

Big Game Bob will continue to run his mouth about how over rated the SEC is after his Sooners beat down Butch's Vols in Norman. OU 52 UT 17

I haven't seen two better teams than Michigan State or Oregon so far, not to pay too much attention to the final score. Getting thumped in the Pacific Northwest is not much different than a near drowning in Baton Rouge.

Auburn is right up there even with our defensive inconsistencies along with Baylor minus injured Bryce Petty.

The favorites above have been overhyped, ALL OF THEM!
Just to play along though I like Georgia, UCLA and Oklahoma to win but not cover ATS.

My choice if I were betting would be UCF +10 @ Mizzou.

I too think the thuga ugas will take care of business today but you know, I'm not gonna be surprised if SC squeaks out a W.

UCLA will hammer Tejas nuff said.

Choklahoma.......watch out for the Vols here. I think the Sooners will win but I'm thinking Stoops is so caught up in proving anit-SEC biased views that he will make enough coaching mistakes to keep the Vols alive.

Vandy is as bad as I can remember, like a start-up program. Pray for them.
I don't care that they eeked it out. And no SEC chants. Fuck that!

Texas because the Pac 11.3 is overrated. 

Tennessee isn't there yet.  So OU.

Watched most of the UK/UF game.  Very impressed with how far Kentucky has come.  They were every bit the equal of Florida talent-wise on both sides of the ball.  Florida has some holes on defense but overall, they'll easily be the best D Bama has faced.  By a long shot.  Florida's offense does nothing for me, though.  Can't see them doing much this weekend.

Nah. IF KSU is only on the field long enough to score 17, Auburn will score at least 7 TDs. Book it.

Again, more likely to be a 40something - 30something score.

More betting terms I don't understand, but apparently the juice is +100 on Auburn (even money), -120 on KSU (bet $120 make $100), which apparently means Vegas is begging people to bet on Auburn. That's with the spread.

Juice is what it costs you to place the bet.....Most local books are gonna charge you 10% juice on your bet, meaning if you bet a $100.00 and win your bet then the bookie is gonna pay you $90.00 cause he is going to take his $10 of juice off the top of you winnings.

Juice varies and can actually get pretty expensive doing it online.

At the end of the day though bookies don't give a shit who wins or loses because in theory they have adjust the point spread to encourage equal monetary betting for both teams.

I knew the juice part but splain this to me. Doesn't the surprisingly low spread indicate that there is more money being put on KS than on AU--Meaning they are trying to entice people to put more money on AU? Even though, we have the 70/30 split, they are still wanting people to bet AU, yes/no?
Title: Re: Slumdog Saturday Picks
Post by: Saniflush on September 18, 2014, 03:50:16 PM
Money line is ONLY concerned with who wins...No matter what the points are.  Think of this as your odds bets on a craps table. 

Auburn is the favored team due to the - sign.  Money line I am seeing is Auburn -305.  Money lines are expressed in denominations for  $100.   So in order to win $100 you will have to wager $305.  Understand this though, money lines use to NEVER be used with Football because there are usually plenty of points being scored.  Money lines were used with sports that don't have a lot of scoring.  ie baseball, soccer, etc.   

Knowing all that what does it tell us class?   That's right. 

It tells us that it's a sucker bet.  No matter which way you are going if you consistantly are betting more to win less you are gonna get fucked.  UGA come to mind.....So does Texas.  So does USCe a couple of weeks ago.

No....You are confusing the people and the money.

70% of the people think Auburn is going to win.  That does not mean 70% of the money is on Auburn to cover the spread. 

Remember bookies don't give a shit who wins they just want $ bet on both sides.  Essentially they want the people who bet on Auburn and the people betting on KSU to exchange money minus their juice.  Sometimes they are gonna have people load up and hurt them in principle and sometime they are gonna win a lot of cast with betting being lopsided.  I think Hogwally and I about killed one in NW Arkansas one year.  No bookie will survive having extreme swings like that though.  They are like any other business.  They look to equalize their risk.

If you place a 1k on AU to cover then yes you are going to win $1000 minus what ever the juice cost is.  Let's say 10% to keep it simple.  That would be $900.00


If you bet $1000 on the money line then you are saying that Auburn is just gonna win no matter what they win by and that bet will make you about $300 when it pays off.

I'm really surprised at the line even back at the start.  Kansas State is not as good as they've been the last few years and we SHOULD be in the same tier as Florida State, Oregon and Alabama.  Yet just a touchdown favorite? 

Id say we're at least 24 points better than Kansas State.  How much does home field help?   3 points on average?  Thursday night game another three points? 

If Florida State were playing @Oregon State
This weekend with Jameis playing, how much would they be favored?  30?

you always pay juice no matter who you bet on and no matter who wins.
Speaking of, you got that juice you owe me on the under from last night. Guido is just about to go make his rounds and I told him to hold off on your name, that I'd give you a call. He has his Lousville Slugger with him. I need my money.

The important thing to learn from the last week in this thread is that Godfather was wrong here.










Seriously though, this is why I don't make sports bets. Somehow Vegas knew that Sammie & Duke wouldn't be able to catch a cold last night.

Sammy had one pass that he missed and one where he had the db hanging on his arm. Do not mess with my boy. Racist.

But there is no juice on betting on Auburn for this game, only 20% on KSU, correct? In other words, you don't have to pay the house at all if you bet on Auburn right now...?

   In internet books now, sometimes they adjust the juice rather than move the line over a key number.  For instance, if the line is 7, they know if they move it to 7 1/2  there could be a big swing in the way the money comes in.  Rather than make that big of a change, they will change the juice to even on one side and -115 or -120 on the other.  This effects the betting some, but not as much as adding the hook to a key number.  So yes, sometimes you can bet the spread without having to pay the juice.
    Those guys aren't stupid.  I used to think I knew a lot about football until I started trying to make money at it.
