Vegas Is Giving Us 8 Points …

[GoldenIsle]

Any takers?

Its not every day that Vegas just opens the vaults and walks away for a few minutes.

I thought you meant GT -8 and am now very disappointed.

+250

 

[GTsapper]

That's +8 and +250 ML all day.

It seems like the sports betting companies don’t follow the team or the changes, but rather reacts to historic trend. It’s going to take them a few more games to catch up to where the team is post-clown. It should be a good chance for someone following the team to make some money.

That is their read on the betting public, might actually be some money put on the game since it is before most.

So being drunk again let me get this straight at this time we are ahead 8-0 ?

 

[Dirty Jacket]

+250 means bet $100 to win $250 if tech wins the game, right?

 

[getyourbuzzon]

+250 means bet $100 to win $250 if tech wins the game, right?

Correct. It also converts to 28.6% implied probability

Projected ACC finish in 2023 . . .

SI has L'Ville 5th and GT 11th.
Athlon has L'Ville 7th and GT 11th.
Bleacher report has L'Ville 8th and GT 12th.

Eight points isn't enough

You shouldn’t be disappointed. You should be breaking out the wallet.

Betting on the first game of the season ... good luck, bro. I wish you the best.

II would be happy to beat the line.That means a close game which is imperative in this first game.

Yeah, I don’t know about how “happy” I’d be losing the game, but I think a close game would show improvement. We are happy having depth at QB and hopefully a couple QB whisperers on staff… but Louisville is pretty stacked in that same regard. And they looked better than our train wreck last year, and got some awesome portal guys. We’ll see. Hoping for the best.

And he got banned for that......? WTF new Mods?

 

[GTYJ]

It’s a realistic line as we have been a really bad team for several years now.

Removing homerism, this is exactly the type of line that I like to bet early in the season before anybody really knows how teams will look. Home underdog playing a night game.

Home teams historically bet favorably in TH/F games as well

Underdogs traditionally play well in week 1; especially NFL
