How many people would be broke.

Would you have the willpower to keep from betting everything in every account on Flordia?

What If the sportsbooks would have made FLORDIA in the National championship game a 21 point fav over OHIO ST?

Would you be homeless right now?

It just shows that there is no such thing as a lock, no matter how good it looks.

No but if you got bets like that often and bet sized appropriately you'd be very wealthy.

Not uncommon in hoops-just today

St Joes favored by 10, lost by 10...

Rhode Island was favored by 9-10 lost by 9.

I know what you are saying.

Of course if the books did that for all the games they would go broke.

What I am saying is, if they would have done that, im just wondering how many people would be out of a house and a home if they would have made Flordia a 21 point fav against Ohio St.

I believe most people would have lost every cent of there bankrolls.

I know.

Its just something fun to think about.

I thought about the alternate point spread line for the Championship game, like laying Florida -21.5 at whatever the plus money was, I remember seeing it at 5 Dimes .

ida spent hours at the local WU/MGram filling out slips to books that were offering the best bonus' out there to load up on fla....

good post...

just goes to show almost nothing is a lock...


also goes to show why pinnacle is probably the ONLY book that offers those crazy -15000ML's on ncaa football games...and im not taking about a team
-24pts....im talking about clemson -50 vs temple ML's....they know nothing is a lock (see vt vs temple about 7/8years ago LOL)
