Line started at LSU -1...all the big money has been coming in on LSU and now the line is Bama -1. reverse line movement almost always favors the team with the money. Vegas knows more than anyone, they got millions riding on this.

actually you have this wrong. 65% of the bets are on LSU and the line has moved in Bama's favor. This should have LSU fans very worried. The reverse line movement is gooing in Bamas favor. May want to check your title again.

I'm pretty sure "Vegas" does not care. "Vegas" only wants equal money on each side. The line moves accordingly to achieve that and "Vegas" makes their money off the juice. Max total profit = 0.1 X 0.5 X total dollars bet. A huge bet on on side or many little bets on one side can move the line in the opposite direction to attract more money to the other side to even things out.

This is stupid no matter what. Vegas has been WAY off on LSU since the very first game.

Not shocked at all that they are still off.

LSU and Okie Lite have been 2 of the best plays all damn year long...

Rarely does a thread so false get made. You said the exact opposite of what this implies.

Reverse line movement away from the side of the money is what you watch for...that favors Bama

Eta: didn't read enough to know you already got called out
