Did he buy it down to 50 maybe?Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-45060077770943559912015-10-07T09:30:15.462-07:002015-10-07T09:30:15.462-07:00In case my last post was unclear, I think that guy...In case my last post was unclear, I think that guy was full of crap. I don't think any bookie will let someone shift the line by >29.5 points. You can usually buy up to 3 points, but in this case, he was going the other way by a huge margin. Can someone who knows more about sports betting speak on this?Pokerdogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13738166779621391261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-18528213283134559212015-10-07T09:19:02.297-07:002015-10-07T09:19:02.297-07:00Thanks....someone on Twitter pointed out that the ...Thanks....someone on Twitter pointed out that the spread wasn't close to 50 points. I don't know what to say. He seemed genuinely upset by that score, and I know it's possible to buy extra points. It's possible he was full of shit and making it up, but I dunno why he would bring it up then. I agree...weird.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-43376674338239801992015-10-07T09:14:49.760-07:002015-10-07T09:14:49.760-07:00That seems really strange with his TCU bet.

I find it hard to believe he had a bet that needs TCU to cover >43 points. Who in the world would take that bet, in a 6 teams parlay. I can't imagine the payout for a parlay with such a long shot mixed in it.Pokerdogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13738166779621391261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-67478460663619453002015-10-06T22:02:36.969-07:002015-10-06T22:02:36.969-07:00Thanks, Ed, valid points all.

Some teams like Florida ( under Steve Spurrier ) like to run up the score to get higher rankings in the football polls. I would say some coaches even know what the line is. Once a game is safely in the win column they save their players for the next game or reward bench players by putting them in. Trying to hit five team parley bets are for suckers. Some people just can not admit what they are. Its like going to the crap table and betting the high/ low. Yeah you will hit once in a while but over time you lose money. Vegas loves people that want to take the worst of it on prop bets. edh530https://www.blogger.com/profile/17350460500843652702noreply@blogger.com
