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.

Caesars/William Hill has:

Nebraska Over 7.5 -105 / Under 7.5 -125

 

So if you think Nebraska is going to go over 7.5 bet with Caesars.  If you think under 7.5 best with Fan Duel.

 

 

OK, I'm not a gambler so I just sort of understand this....but not really.

 

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?

Yes.  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....

But, if you bet $200, the most you would get back is either 110 or 120, correct?  So, you would still be losing either $90 or $80 on the total bet.

If you bet $100 on each it is a total outlay of $200.  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.

Fair enough but I would consider this enough for me to not lose... 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? :lol:

Double or nothing on actual win total?  I'll take 8+...

Yep read it wrong, but my explanation still stands just the opposite.  I must have read switched those in my brain
