Bush most likely wins the Heisman, but laying 85 to win 1 is a bad investment.

is it 85 to 1 or 850 to 1?

If the line was -8500, then it is $8500 to win $100, which is laying 85 to win 1.

When someone says 85 to 1, like in a future or horse racing, you are laying 1 to make 85. This is just the opposite.

Well it is a really shitty line in my opinion, but THERE IS NO CHANCE IN HELL that he doesnt win the Heisman!

Remember that Bowl games do not count in that voting!! If some book would offer up like -1000 to -2000, then I would bet it

-8500 is out of line, but he probably wins. But but but what if they give to someone else, that would be a TUFF fade.

i mean you're sayin theres' not even a slight possibility that leinart and bush take votes away from each other which would leave Young (and possibly quinn) to steal the heisman? not sayin it'll happen but it's a reasonable possibility.
