Yes -11 risks UGA does not show up. It also says UGA could destroy Texas. We can look at all the stats, who has better D, better running game, ect. What we don't know, is a team going to take a dive? So does Vegas know something we don't? -11 gives UGA plenty of room to not show up but still win. Vegas does not want to pay out Texas ML bets?
Who knows, they just paid out on Iowa ML bets
UGA -11 and the over
OSU -6 and the over
I think they prefer to payout Tx ml than payout Ga ml and parlays.
The Mirage and the rest of MGM resorts sportsbooks have huge liability to Georgia, primarily through a series of moneyline parlay bets from one customer: a whopping $630,000 two-teamer of the NFL’s Patriots and the Bulldogs, to win $200,000; a $125,000 five-teamer with four parts already in – Alabama and, in the NFL, the Patriots, Seahawks and Chiefs – that needs only Georgia to cash for $111,000; and a $50,000 three-teamer of the Patriots, Alabama and Georgia, to win $27,000.
“We’re a loser to Georgia pointspread and a massive loser to Georgia moneyline. We’ve got well over $1 million tied into Georgia, and most of it is from that one bettor,” Shelton said. “Pointspread ticket count is 2/1 and money 3/1 on Georgia. We’re gonna need Texas to win outright. And if Texas wins, it would eclipse Notre Dame-Clemson as the biggest college football win that I can recall.”
The Longhorns covering the spread would do little to lighten the hit.
“It’s really all or nothing,” Shelton said. “If Georgia wins, we’re gonna take a bath. We only have one out, and that’s Texas winning outright.”
