Red Five Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 10 hours ago, KingBlank said: So they are saying it's more likely Nebraska will have 7 wins then 8 wins so you have to pay a "premium" of that to make that bet. You get a premium on the over as they deem that is the lesser scenario. Pretty sure they are saying that is it more likely that Nebraska will have 8+ wins since that is the "favorite" at -140. 7 or less is the "underdog" at +120. If you bet the over you have to lay $140 to win $100. If you bet the under you have to lay $100 to win $120. 3 Quote Link to comment

If you think under 7.5 best with Fan Duel. 1 Quote Link to comment

So, if Caesars would move to +110 for the over, can you bet the over at Caesars and the unders at Fan Duel and win no matter what? Quote Link to comment

By betting $100 on each: Over hits -> minus $100 on the under, plus $110 on the over = $10 profit Under hits -> plus $120 on the under, minus $100 on the over = $20 profit But I think they are smarter than putting lines like that out there....

So, you would still be losing either $90 or $80 on the total bet. Quote Link to comment

So you will either be getting back $210 ($100 bet plus $110 winnings) or $220 ($100 bet plus $120 winnings). Therefore you are locked into winning either $10 or $20. 1 Quote Link to comment

May be a wash in the end like we thought may happen originally as some casino will eventually have them at 6.5 once enough people bet the unders. Ceasars is out at 7.5 so you win, and I frankly I am shocked to see 8 wins expected. Would you like to choose my new avatar photo for me? 1 Quote Link to comment

Head Coach Scott Frost Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 If we look at history the last time Vegas picked us to win 7.5 games - a bunch of games were cancelled, no fans were allowed, and we almost didn't have a season. So probably prepare for that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I must have read switched those in my brain Quote Link to comment

Hilltop Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Off topic but on the same link above. Seems a bit odd for Penn State to only be favored by 3 over Purdue. Quote Link to comment
