What does Vegas know that we don't know?

[Turd Ferguson]

I should be mad at this but I forgot what we're talking about.

We were talking about that $100 you owe @Frank The Tank

Special teams? I also kind of question the statement that if DR "continues" to improve.

Probably practices well.

I agree with the angle that an injury that has not been made public, could be the issue for the line movements. I also believe that it could be something else or most likely a combination of issues. It just feels like OP tends to go to the issue that points to the most negitive possible issue putting Nebraska, as a unit, in a bad light. No, I’m not saying everyone has to pump sunshine all day long, but one doesn’t predominantly need to be Eeyore about it either. Just feels like that is what causes the breakdowns in the discussions. Can you please PM the other sites you get info from? More info the better for me!

I just reread the OP and don't get that at all. It's a legit question, even if you aren't a gambler. If you are a gambler, you have to look at this dispassionately, or risk losing your shirt. When you see something that unusual, it begs the question, what's going on?
Now, if he said Nebraska sucked because the point spread moved, I'd be in your corner.

I still think he needs to stay away from the fish tacos

I was giving my opinion on why the tread derailed. I even agreed that a non public injury could be part of the reason the lines are moving, even though I think it is more likely because of evening out the money played. OP gets into quite a few heated discussions not only in this thread but others. I believe it is due more to the angle the information is given and not the actual information.

It seemed to me innocuous enough from the get go. If, as you say, the OP gets into spats in other threads, I'd say the vitriol was unjustly carried over into this one.

Bovada was where I got the screen shot from. That’s the site I use. Just checked again and it’s still down

Could be they are getting too many bets on one side or another.

OK got to page 4 and this thread has gone completely off the rails moving on.

Did you miss post #32 on page 3 before your reply below?

Or it could be they adjusted the line based on the action they're getting at the book

Yes I did. I read it after I posted mine. I agree. However, that is not one of the posts that was taking it off the rails. I stopped reading on page 4 because of the Nuh uh -uh huh posts for a page and a half.

I think it is less about the spread moving and more about it coming off the board. He even posted the screen shot of it being scratched.

and is now totally off the board. This makes me nervous...

I agree. Based on the data he was using and seeing a big drop along with off the board I think it was a pretty solid question to ask the forum.

 

[twokgrad]

I still see it on multiple books at -6.5

I honestly doubt it's moving for a non-public injury, I bet its because to start, 85% of the money on the spread was for UCLA to cover and that over 90% of the bets were on the under. When you have that kind of money on the under, the spread will almost assuredly shrink
