I'll take the VT under for about a trillion

They open with Bama and then would have to win 10/11 to cover that. I don't see how they have the horses to lose to Bama then win 10/11 games.

If you bet a trillion you'd only win 556 billion with those odds. But it should make for a nice retirement.

VT has a pretty weak schedule


Jun 26, 2013, 9:55 PM

Drew Maryland and BC from the Atlantic and 3 cake OOC games, Coastal looks really down again. I wouldn't put $$ on them but I don't think 9-3 or less is a lock

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Well they would have to go 10-1 over their final 11 games


Jun 26, 2013, 11:13 PM

b/c they sure as hell aren't beating Alabama. Given their annual early-season woes, i wouldn't even mark the game at ECU as a sure W.

Also, the -215 on us means that they are really setting the mark at 10ish.

If I understand the way these odds are currently set - the bookmakers are trying to get more action for a better than 10 win season because right now it looks like the betting public is perceiving a less than 10 win season.

If betting on an 11+ win season Vegas will pay $165 for a $100 bet, but if betting on 10 wins or less then one has to bet $215 to win $100. I think this is the way it works and which means Vegas/public are perceiving less than 10 wins. Is this correct?

CLEMSON
Over 10.5 (+165)
Under 10.5 (-215)

BTW, that same site has UGA as a 1.5 point dog


Jun 27, 2013, 8:24 AM

So those odds indicate the season will start with a win which means the win total odds don't make a lot of sense if most are thinking less 10 wins or less. I guess the losses would be FSU and SCAR?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Ehh, -1.5 does not mean they are saying we will win. That


Jun 27, 2013, 12:55 PM

only means they think we have a slightly better chance to win than UGA. Maybe something like 55% to 45%.

If you had those odds for every game over the course of the season you would not be predicted to finish 12-0 despite being favored in every game. Your expected record would actually be somewhere in the 7-5 or 6-6 range.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

You are correct.

A lot more action on the under for Clemson right now. Bettors are heavily favoring a 10 win or less season.
