Betting Trends


Jan 2, 2016, 11:33 PM

Currently per sportsbook.ag:

73% of betters have taken Bama -7 (-115)
79% have taken the over of 52.5
54% have taken Clemson on the money line +225

Gamblers not giving us much of a chance.

A lot of people lost money betting on Oklahoma too. Most bettors take the over. Sounds like a lot of dumb money coming in on the game.

And I bet a lot of the Bama bets are double down bets...


Jan 3, 2016, 1:35 AM

On their failed OU bets. Trying to make their money back.

Gamblers can be so predictable.

I was thinking 24-21 Clemson. But I also would have bet the mortgage on MSU +9.5 so luckily I don't live on Vegas. That over seems high. The national perception is we've got no shot. We just need to win!

If gamblers were as good as people think

Vegas would be broke. When over 65% of the money goes one way, expect the opposite to happen.

yup, Vegas may break records on this one. Trap the national sheep who are brain-washed into thinking Alabama is an NFL team

But yeah, clearly the average Joe thinks Bama is a layup win, as they did with OU too.

Not quite, they just want to have the same amount of money on each side of the bet so their net liability is zero and they make money on the vig. I think it's interesting that it's so lopsided to Bama and they haven't adjusted the spread to give Clemson more points yet.

This. This is how Vegas makes their money.

% of betters doesn't really matter, its % of money bet.

A bunch of Billy bobs betting 20 bucks on Bama can offset pretty quickly by the sharps throwing down thousands.

That said, don't expect the line to move in our favor.
