If you're patient, and don't mind waiting on your money.. this is as close to free money as you're going to get.

1000$ bet is 400$ and some change in profit.

I mean, nothing is guaranteed, but this is an absurd odd to offer.

Remarkable odds, given CFB guru Phil Steele's less than inspiring forecast for this Tiger team

The math is based on preseason models. My models show the same thing, but these same models show every team in CFB having at least 3 losses this year.

In other words, its a conservative model until the first 4 games of the season are played, of course Vegas will update their odds as soon as Week 1 is complete.

I've attached my current season outlook (preseason is only ever so accurate) and then, the Clemson game, for instance is the roster matchup alone... which, statistically, we show only a 60% chance of winning that game, but are double digit favorites.

So.. my point is, im not arguing the math, but I am saying that there's a huge difference in Vegas odds and what likely outcomes actually are if you understand what you're betting on.

For example, there's a difference between taking a +850 straight bet vs a +850 carefully calculated parlay when you look at historical outcomes.

You and I have very different definitions of "free money". This is one of the toughest schedules LSU has ever had.

Clemson
@ Ole Miss
A&M
@Auburn
Bama
Texas
@Tenn

Schedule could easily lead to 4 losses. We shall see.

Typically when you lock up money for a few months, you want a better return.

I agree with your concern given that Clemson isn't a guarantee, but if you look up and Clemson is a double digit game in the third quarter... I'd consider the bet, because when that game finalizes, Vegas isn't going to give you -235 odds that LSU wins 2 of the remaining 6 games that you have listed.

There's no such thing as free money.

I say that as someone who has successfully pounced on that type of bet in the past.

What did your model say about last year’s LSU team? And how much money did you lose?
