Cy the Cyclone Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Are there any websites to place a bet on this game? I am not familiar with gambling at all, so I don't know much about it. Sure, send me what you plan on flushing down the toilet, I'll hold it for a few days and send half of it back to you. 50% return is better than 0. Honestly, unless you have piles of cash to lose, I would not get started on online gambling. Way too easy to get suckered in. My cousin's ex-husband lost $500,000 on internet gambling. Some can make some money on it, but bookies/the house always take the rake in the end. Yeah...lots smarter if you invest your money someplace safe like the stock market..... Quote Link to comment

huskerfaninbuckeyehell Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I hope I am wrong but anyone who thinks this this team will give up less than 60 this weekend is dreaming and it won't be the last time either....We are looked upon in the same regard as the slugs TO would bring in back in the day to use as tune ups and tackling dummies...pathetic but true.

admo Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 He is something for all you to chew on for awhile. Looking through the AP Top 25 predications this morning I noticed the unbelievable one that they had for NU vs. Texas Tech. Here it is hold on to your hats………………………………………………………Tech 69 NU 10. When did we turn into a flipping D1AA team? I looked through the rest of the predictions and none of them came close to this one. We have fallen to the level of freaking Florida International when it comes to predicting games. Are you kidding me 69 to 10? This is one of the saddest things I have seen in a long long time. You can say it is the media so who cares, but come on look at what people think of this program. Crap Vegas is giving 21 and now the AP predicting a 59 freaking point loss what the hell. This is like a stinking service academy or a Directional Michigan team going in to play OU not NU going into Tech. If you ask me this is utterly and completely embarrassing that we are looked at in such low regard. What is next us sucking so bad that Vegas doesn’t even put out a line for our games. Disclaimer: Don’t turn this into a “we need patience” thread that is not my point. My point is look at how poorly we are looked upon. We have never been this low in the public’s eye even through the Billy C days. Flipping 69 to freaking 10 unbelievable. Come on big daddy, 3/4ths of the nation saw MU light up the Huskers. And anyone who's watched College Football over the past 3 years can envision the same thing happening in Lubbock. Sure it's not enjoyeable at all. It sucks. And it'll stay like this until the Huskers actually knock down some big wins and get consistently good, instead of staying consistently mediocre... consistently bad... consistently predictable. And I hate saying that but it is what it is. I'll still cheer them on, high five on TDs, throw a chair when Tech scores on wide open routes or missed tackles. But I'll still cheer 'em on man. Just got too. Personally I'm geeked up about this weekend. Heading to Dallas to grill out with friends and watch OU/UT, then the Husker game. I think Florida/LSU is later at night. Should be fun.

clone Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I will say this: we were even lower in the publics eye last year under Clownahan. really? what about in the AP's eye? tell me ONE game under cally that the AP predicted that kind of spread?? ONE GAME... this really is a new low... but ain't happening. TT isn't getting that many points... no way! GO BO!! Quote Link to comment

The people in vegas most know something. We play better away from home But I still say 77-14 And I still won't watch them on TV. Quote Link to comment

HuskerTrucker Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Pretty much what I have been predicting all week...no surprise there. Quote Link to comment
motorboatjonesNU Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Though it's unfortunate that 69-10 could be the actual score, it's more of a demeaning poke at us by the press - I mean, c'mon... one point difference than 2004? I bet the writer looked at the game and said, "NU in Lubbock... well Nebraska's defense may be ONE POINT better than the last time they played there." Quote Link to comment
CoachKevin Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Vegas spread has nothing to do with what the odds makers think will happen in the game. The goal of the Casino is to set a spread that will get equal amount of bets for both teams. As the betting starts to favor one side, they adjust the spread to get bets for the other team. This is how they make guaranteed money. The basics of it is an example like this. You want to bet on the Huskers and your buddy wants to bet on TT. You each give me $100 to hold. So I have $200 total from the wagers. After the game I give the winner $190. I pocket $10 for my booking fees. Quote Link to comment
