Texas Tech is (24-1) since '92 when favored by 10 or more pts.

I'd estimate Texas Tech's chances of winning to be 83%.

Granchrow...do you teach at Harvard or MIT by day and bet on sports at night?

I mean I have a pretty solid background in research methods but I doubt I could ever come up with some of these figures the same way you do.

Keep posting man...it's good to have guys like you aboard! A lot of quality posts from you!

The 83% figure was a joke. The inside line is 475/-600, implying a roughly 83% probability of TT's winning after shading ever-so-slightly in the dog's favor.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm not a teacher, nor would I likely have the patience to be one. My field is quantitative trading.

doesn't necesarrily mean they will cover...although I am on Texas Tech -14 this week...

**jjgold** · 10-12-05, 04:04 PM

I dont care if they cover, but I need the win!

far from mathematical/scientific, but didn't the Prick take Tech? That alone is enough to make me wary.

**Agent Smith** · 10-12-05, 06:39 PM

my math machine says TT by 20

**pags11** · 10-13-05, 04:24 AM

fabric, let's hope for a win AND a cover then here...

**fabric86** · 10-15-05, 04:32 PM

What did I say! Almost 700yds passing. Easily covered...and all I wanted was the moneyline.

**jjgold** · 10-15-05, 04:53 PM

Good Call Fabric

you made the same call, hopefully you atleast took the moneyline, they are #1 in offense. 25-1....since 1992.

**pags11** · 10-16-05, 03:03 AM
