    Bet volume has been trending Washington while total dollars is trending Oregon. It’s the public picking Washington and sharps picking Oregon. Both have been known to be wrong in big ways, just providing the data trend. It’s about a 63-37 split in bet volume favoring Washington and the points.

    It's my understanding there would be no math on this bored.

    But I also thought that the sharps tend to come in the day before a game once the line has settled and they see an arbitrage opportunity (I concede that I am certainly not a "sharp").
    Sharps do a lot of things. It was large sum bets that originally drove the spread from -7.5 to -9.5. Large bets are assumed as sharps even though there are a lot of rich idiots who just get the itch and don’t have much knowledge. But general the larger the bet, the more likely it’s a sharp. They make big bets when they see an advantage. What I think will happen is they already got the Ducks at -7.5. I have a feeling they are hoping this gets bet to -10.5, then they go hard on Washington. That creates the arbitrage that if Oregon wins by between 8-10 points, the bettor wins on both tickets.
    That’s what i heard on a podcast as well. Expect this to breach 10 and swing the other way. If it doesn’t get bet down, there’s something going on like an injury or something of that nature.
    Do tell?
    I think UW is mostly healthy except for recurring vaginitis.

    There are way more rich idiots betting than one would think. A lot of them bet online so I don;t know if several 6 digit bets move the line if it's done on fan duel or draft kings.
    Know someone who is a book... He said some idiot called him and bet $30k on Alabama money line. They were favored -13 over Auburn at the time.

    $30k on the moneyline was -1600 odds. Total payout was $1875. Risk $30k to win $1875 and it took a 4th&31 to do it. He should have live bet $100 late in 4th Qtr when Bama had less that 1% to win he would have got a way better payout.

    There are thousands and thousands of fucktards out there who bet like "sharps" - not sure if those dipshits move the line tho.

    CSB

    I get your point, but using an example of somebody who won their bet isn't a good example.

    Bet volume has been trending Washington while total dollars is trending Oregon. It’s the public picking Washington and sharps picking Oregon. Both have been known to be wrong in big ways, just providing the data trend. It’s about a 63-37 split in bet volume favoring Washington and the points.

    I think you and I can disagree on the meaning of the term "sharps". NTTIATWWT

    The prospect of the line going higher is part of what has kept me from betting. I don't think there's high odds either team wins by 10+ and will take that spread if I can get it.

    Tough talk when the retarded pac 12 is your only hope
    Same system in the B1G next year. Nobody said much about this when this was implemented last year.

    UW did since they got hosed out of the CCG

    B1G isn't using division schedules
    They aren’t using divisions period. That’s the point. They got sick of either Michigan or Ohio St getting left off the conference title game for Iowa, Purdue, and Wisconsin.

    This was the big issue last year (and this year—although the 2 best teams ended up in Vegas this year so it’s moot). But last year the two (potentially three) best teams were in the north and usc played neither of them and made it to Vegas. If usc had played Oregon/uw last year instead of coug/beav, they’re the defending sun bowl champs and Caleb doesn’t sniff a heisman.

    If the B1G would have done away with divisions, but still had all the B1G East teams play each other (and limp dick B1G West teams play each other) they would have been up in arms.

    What the Pac 12 did was a desperation play for TV money, it wasn't about an equitable system.

    We know the divisions was an equitable system, because if you play the hard schedule (P12 North) they're simply elimination games.

    Which Washington eliminated Oregon both years, went undefeated in the harder division, and deserved to get USC and Arizona.

    PAC has no divisions but North still plays all team in the North and South is the same. It’s shit logic.

    The odds of two teams squaring off three times in the same season is going to be decently high. It's pretty stupid.

    It’s going to be pretty hard to make a Conf champ game and not make the playoffs in the B1G/SEC.

    Exactly. If this were next year, tOSU and Michigan are both in the playoffs. Washington and Oregon are both in. Texas and Alabama are both in. Alabama/Georgia. If Washington and Oregon somehow finish top-two in the B1G next year, it's possible they could play each other three times consecutively.

    This game all but ensures a CFP participant. It's good for the conference and not UW this year. Imagine playing Arizona, they win, and no PAC 12 teams goes to the playoff.

    Grow a pair.

    I kinda want to see that happen, now that the prospect's been raised, just for the absurdity.
