Frankly I worry about anything that is released for free to the public. I'm of the opinion that relevant information stays locked up.

ETA: And if it is released and accurate, it is done for ulterior motives, like the Clemson/Auburn numbers. People continue to take Auburn to be with Vegas, and I don't know how/why they'd try to do us any favors.

You can determine true book positions, etc. with public information. Takes some time to catch the nuances.

You're overestimating the research of the typical bettor.

Right when i read this post there is some clown here at the Westgate acting like a wise guy spouting off small sample size trends like "Oklahoma is 7-0 ATS as a dog the last 3 years!!!". Like lambs to the slaughter

Line at Westgate to make bets is about 75 people deep right now

Hope this guy i see in an Oklahoma jersey at the end of the line doesn't have plans to bet on them. No way does he get to the counter in 20 minutes. You know there will be a guy betting 50 different 8 team parlays.

Just looked back through the thread. Dwyer on Penn St, eh? Anyone else like this play? I was blindly following last year...might as well continue. Thanks for the pick, Carson

Penn st is up to 22.5. They're running a faster paced offense and a lot of people think Hackenburg is an addition by subtraction.

Under those assumptions, I'd imagine UNC is a popular choice in this thread. 67% of tickets, 92% of money on UGA, yet the line has come down from -3.5 to -3


Actually, yea a lot are on UNC

bowling green is a good team i remember but didnt they lose their QB and coach??? Ohio state still has barrett but i hate betting these big favorites but i dont think bowling green is anywhere the same team without dino babers

yeah, and they hired a position coach from Tex Tech to replace him. He may be really good - don't know. I'd take last year's BG in this situation but too much of a guess for me here.
