Suckers bet this weekend

  • Carolina by 10 over Auburn. That line should have been jumped on like a June Bug for the Tigers. When Vegas makes a line that looks like a sure bet, there is a sure bet that Vegas knows something that the bettors don't.

    I'm not much of a gambler, so what exactly do you mean?

  • I told a friend the same thing yesterday. Vegas wants the general public to bet on Auburn by setting a line that seems ridiculous. Also, with everyone piling on us about our offense this just adds fuel to the fire.

    I can never bet on Carolina and always have to bet on Clemson for self preservation, but if I were in Vegas and had no dog in the fight I would load up on Carolina

  • JB, if the general betting public had been asked to guess a line on this game before Vegas came out with their line, what do you think it would have been, for the vast majority? If that number in your head is around one to four points for Carolina that makes Auburn a touchdown+ good bet in the bettors mind when the Vegas line came out. That is a line that as a bettor you have to jump on early as you are sure it will fall. It hasn't fallen as of today. If the money came in big on Auburn and the line stayed high then Vegas wants more money on the Tigers. When this happens, Vegas odds makers have their reasons and certain expectations. Auburn, may indeed cover, but the guys in Vegas do not expect them to and they are backing those expectations with hugh amounts of money.

    In layman's terms, are you saying Carolina will/should win or that allbarn can't cover the spread?
