Gambolers get your re-up to Goose

Opened at 13
Went to 11

No way

Way.

It was 15 this summer. I thought it would be 10.

Remember this is the opening number and could bounce around depending on the action.

Anything over 9.5, all in.

ML*

Now MSU +11 which would make ml +300 or so

And Michigan $ came back in at 11 and now it's State +13.5

I don't gamble..

Strange love when do I take MSU ML? Now?

I don't think it will go much higher (maybe 14) you'd be getting great value locking in now

And this morning? The roller coaster has State getting 10.5.

Wow

I don't think it crosses 10 so you minus well wait

Fuck

what's the "ML"?

Which team will win outright regardless of points.

sweet - thanks.

I'm not real big on paying attention to the spreads.. though I guess it can just indicate which way the money is flowing.. I do think the over/unders can be interesting.

O/U is 41.5

ML (depending on book) is MSU +310 / UM -390

Missed out on some juice. Hope it goes back up.

Wow. Down to 10.5. I jumped on 14 Sunday night. I like the under too. This will be a defensive struggle. 41 in college is a tough number though.

Dantonio is 10-0 vs. Spread against Michigan.

It's still 10 but o/u has dropped to 40 with some 39 and 39.5s showing

Good coaching and/or inflated spreads?

Contrary to popular opinion the spread doesn't necessarily mean the favored team is supposed to win by the listed margin.

The spread is generated to attract even money from both sides of the betting public. In a perfect bookie world they have even bets on both sides and simply collect the ten percent viggorish. When betting with the spread the vig is the price you pay to place your bet - you have to bet (generally) $110 to win $100.

That hardly ever happens that's why you hear about books being "heavy" on one side and getting hurt when favorites cover.

Generally they make about 5% profit in the long haul taking bets.

The spread takes into account a number of factors including: strengths and weaknesses of the squads playing, where the game is, when the game is, predicted weather, is it a big TV game, and are "public" teams involved.

The general betting public is stupid - they like to bet favorites, overs and "public" teams. Public teams are teams that have been successful over the long haul and have large national fanbases: Michigan, Bama, Florida State, etc in college and Steelers, Cowboys and Packers in NFL.

In this matchup if the name on jersey was "Iowa" and the venue was Spartan Stadium and considering all the factors I'd say it would be a pick em. Michigan's D is better than Iowa's but their O is the same.

^ this guy gets it. Thank you dr.

I'm not a gambler but I'd take the points, even at 10. I really think this will be a very tight, 4th quarter game. And likely low scoring too. I do not see either team winning this one in a blowout. 10 points seems like a lot in this rivalry.

If it is a defensive game, Michigan is playing on a much shorter field than MSU. I'd say at least ten yards shorter. They get 3 points almost automatically from the 35 yard line in. I wouldn't say MSU is near that. 25 yards in I'm comfortable. That's a big difference. Hell it might make me sleep with a kid if it shortened my field by ten yards.
