let me tell you a story of my bright idea from last week.

Okay a poster put up a link to the site where you could buy ticket reservations... So I said, "LSU is too much but for less than half I can go with OSU"

Oh well, I just lost $300 on a bet, usually when I do that I at least get some free watered down liquor.

Correct. However, that does not mean the price is a good one.

I bought one Bama for $277, sold it for $534, made about $185 after fees, tried to buy a couple more, but the site went down

It has to be. That price cannot reflect the true odds.

I bought into Ok. State at 35 just hoping it'll jump up right before the OU game. I'm willing to take a hit for a chance to sell big.

NC State is crushing Clemson 24-3. Getting another 1 loss team out of the mix would be nice for OSU's chances.

Bought 8 last night, just sold 2 for what I paid for all 8.

Going to hold the rest until I see the next lsumatt thread and see how OSU's chances look.

How will you be able to buy tickets at face value anyway?

The BCS/Sugar Bowl people set aside a certain number of tickets for this reservation system.

Whoever holds reservations for the two teams that are selected at the end of the year can buy the tickets for face value

I must have read the first post wrong. Thought it was saying you can get them at face value anyway (without buying the reservations)

Hope you got them...Oh the CHAOS in the BCS ensues! Assuming we win out...Okie St. and Bama will be fighting for that BCSNCG spot.

Thanks. Wish I had jumped on this earlier. Should have dumped lots of stock two weeks ago and put all that money in Okie State. Would have made a killing.

Just got some plaza level reserves at $88 a piece. So if Okie State goes, that would be just $438/plaza ticket. I'll probably sell my shares right before the OU/Okie State game when people realize that all Okie State has to do is win to go to the NC Game.

It's amazing, absolutely astounding, that for the same Alabama reserves, they are going for $1650! No way does Bama have a 19x greater chance of going to the NC Game than Okie State right now.

Wow, thanks for the bump, CE Tiger. My reserve in ten minutes went from $88 value to $139. $102 profit like that and sure to continue rising!
