    question for all you true gamblers

    i got oklahoma st -16.5 and wisconsin -26.5 yesterday .. this morning when i checked the lines were -18.5 for okie st and -27.5 for wisconsin .. any thoughts on why the huge line changes overnight?


    and what you think about these plays anyway??

    The closer you get to kickoff's the faster the lines changed from the money coming in. Just basic.

    If the line on oklahoma state moves to say -21, you can bet texas tech +21, giving yourself a chance to win both bets if OK state wins by 17,18,19, or 20. worst case you only win 1 bet and all you lose is the juice.

    I'm not a true gambler. I'm merely a Kenny Rogers wannabe. Sorry.

    Many lines like this every week in college football.

    I wish you luck but I do not believe Wisconsin will cover, as Minnesota damn near beat Michigan State last week, and beat Iowa the previous week, not to mention this is a big Rivalry game being played in Minnesota. That is a lot of points Wisconsin is giving up.
