NCSU -4

[whaler11]

The first week certainly impacted that line.

 

[whaler11]

Other interesting lines. Indiana -13.5 over UMass. Virginia 10 over PSU. UCF only +17 to Ohio State. Somehow Cinci is only laying 3.5 to Pitt. Syracuse only catching 26 from USCw. SDSU only laying 4 to Army at home. USF is a pick in a tough spot at Nevada.

How bad is Maryland? A 10.5 point dog to Temple.

How bad is Memphis? Getting 21 from Arkansas State. What would Oregon beat Memphis by? 300

A lot of gamblers have been waiting to play Duke against Stanford. Line only 14.

Wait, is the line NCSU -4 or UConn -4?? By the thread title and your follow up comment, I can't tell...

NCSU is favored by 4.

 

[UConnDan97]

Gotcha. So you're saying it would have been much higher if we didn't win 37-0 and if NCState didn't lose to Tennessee.

Uconn spread and ML...we got this one...

what do you mean by that?

I mean what Dan said. It would be have been higher if NCSU didn't look so bad on Friday.

If you are going to take them on the money line why would you bother to take the points?

 

[ZooCougar]

I have a good feeling about this game.

Memphis would probably lose to Avon Old Farms or Salisbury.

You get paid more taking an underdog on the ML.

Example: Reg Bet If you take the -4 points you bet $105 to win $100 - collect $205
If you take the ML you may bet $100 and collect $275 or some number they post - not sure how to calculate but on a dog it's more than a regular bet. If you bet the favorite you would be collecting less than the regular bet because you are not giving points. Go see FB lines at sportsinteraction.com

EDIT: If I actually comprehend your post I would give you the correct answer. It would be to hedge the bet a bit. If NCST won by 3 you lose the ML but win the spread bet. NCST lose game you win both.

Houston is getting 3.5 at home against La Tech. Bettors turned on that team pretty quickly.

I really like SDSU -4.

 

[HuskyNan]

The NC State fans are predicting a blowout. Problem is, the fans can't seem to decide which team will win.

He seemed pretty confident they would win - hence the smiley face at the end of my post.

I actually ran a somewhat decent sized bookmaking operation for three or so years back around the turn of the century. Many here know more x's and o's than I do or played at a higher level than I did. The one thing I know is gambling .

As for how a ML dog pays it's pretty easy - if someone is +175 then you win 175 for every 100 you wager.

I don't know how people will do it but a popular long term trend is underdogs who lost straight up as a double digit favorite the prior week. Houston and Pittsburgh both fit that criteria. CUSA is disgracefully bad - no way I'd touch Houston.

I have been waiting for Pitt and Cinci all summer - there are no locks but their line during the summer seemed off and it's no worse after the YSU debacle.

Pre-season guesses were NC State -7

 

[Sean]

The typical gambling strategy says to near blindly bet Houston here, catching those points. Louisiana Tech, though, is one of those sleeper teams that people don't realize quite how good they are. Hate it when two things I like collide with each other.

UConn NC State line looks fair to me. I always thought if it came out at 7, it'd be too obvious to take the home team to hang close. At 4, I think a valid point can be made to bet either side...but I expect more will settle on NC State.

Yo

Pretty much this. I am confident Uconn will win but just in case they do lose I don't think it will be by more than a FG. Worst case scenario I break even.

Just read that NC State opened up only -1 before quickly being moved to 4/4.5

Already to 6 now. That didn't take long.

Surprised it opened at- 1
Neutral field, i think State is favored by 13. I think by time game time rolls around it is- 7.5.

Speaking of the Indiana/UMass game line, I'd bet on UMass. I don't think you recognize how apathetic Indiana fans are to their football program here. They barely held on against Indiana State week 1, they're not holding high hopes of even winning this game, lol!

 

[Jimdish255]

If UMass had any offense I'd take them. How do they score?

 

[SubbaBub]

Wise guys underestimated the Rent factor and Uconn's strong record ATS.

Still nervous about the running game.

I don't think they score 20 offensively. Just a question of what we do and if we turn the ball over.
