Whats the reason for all the line movement for VT

**Fishhead** · 09-06-10, 01:05 PM

Name and no respect for BSU

BSU might take this affair in a cakewalk.

**Smoke** · 09-06-10, 01:10 PM

very large sharp money is coming in on vtech, books have to adjust.

Also like fishhead said, boise state is getting zero respect. the syndicates feel safer putting large amounts of money on a team like vtech compared to a WAC team like boise st.

doesn't matter though... boise state will show the world they are for real..

stick Boise State in the SEC and they would never even make a bowl game

serves them right for playing in a chump conference

Uh, yes they would make a bowl game. I see them as a 5-4 or 4-4 team in the SEC. Would compete with anybody but the depth would become an issue for them throughout the season.

**GoldRush7** · 09-06-10, 01:25 PM

Boise State's all-time record vs BCS schools is 6-17. Don't buy into the hype of this mickey mouse operation. Go Hokies!

**AL1322** · 09-06-10, 01:35 PM

ill take the hokies as well gl fellas

**brxbmbers42** · 09-06-10, 01:37 PM

**obamaismyuncle** · 09-06-10, 01:40 PM

so it is their fault that they are in idaho? what conference should they be in? put this current boise team in sec and they'd fare better than .500 in conference play.

this should be a fun game to watch and contrary to what has been posted already, not a whole lot of the supposed "sharps" are on vt. most aren't on this game at all. like fh said, joe public betting on vt due to name brand.

**obamaismyuncle** · 09-06-10, 01:41 PM

va tech for brock landers

**TheTeaser** · 09-06-10, 01:45 PM

Guys, Boise is a team to be reckoned with.. Nobody realizes this is a BIG and FAST team. Everyone picked Oklahoma over Boise, everyone picked Oregon over Boise, everyone picked TCU over Boise... Guess what, Boise just continues to win in these games and it will continue tonight.

Yes, the sharps are on Va Tech. 61% of all bets are on Boise as of 2:50 ET. This is some serious RLM.

And the thing is, I have loved Boise all week and I still don;t see how a transitioning Hokies defense can stop the Broncos. But the sharps have now forced me to pass this game.

**Deuce** · 09-06-10, 01:55 PM

Brock dropped 10k this morn on then

**rfr3sh** · 09-06-10, 01:56 PM

was gonna play VT
but gonna pass cuz of brock

**MasterP10** · 09-06-10, 02:23 PM

The sharps would have bet VT along time ago when they were getting 2.5 -3 pts, why would they take VT laying pts now? Its Joe public pounding away at VT cause they are the home team and Landover is closer to Blacksburg then Boise, and its a TV game so lets cheer for the home team.

Boise +2 -110 Pinnacle

**jimmyg2727** · 09-06-10, 02:30 PM

Can all the money coming in on VaTech ML (70%) have any effect on the Spread ???

Then how do you explain 61% of the bets on Boise?

**og4667** · 09-06-10, 02:34 PM

per sportsinsights Boise is getting 58% ATS and Vtech is getting 54% of ML bets. Action is just about split.

Wrong, just like LT said 61% of bets are on boise..

More bets are coming in on boise but more money has come in on tech..

The sharps have already hit the vtech line up with large amounts of money ,so they have no need to now..

**StraitShooter** · 09-06-10, 02:40 PM

It wont effect t he outcome either way-its all a coin toss no one knows shit-course after the game half will be experts and the rest get em next weeek

It went from 61% to 58% in the last hour. That is due to steam chaser betting a line that may have lost value, although the value of 1/2 a point isn't that great with a line less than the magical 3 and a high-ish total like this.

**og4667** · 09-06-10, 02:42 PM

well yea you just need to pick the winner, its that simple.

**angtank** · 09-06-10, 02:48 PM

The problem here is Boise St hasn't faced a team as good as VTech on the road. It's a different animal and you through in opening game.

The sharps are on VT.....the sharpest of the sharp are on BSU.

**Mr Windy City** · 09-06-10, 02:53 PM

what some people don't understand is that just because let's say a game is 60/40. That doesn't particularly mean that there is more money on the 60% side. My opinion on th line movement is that all weekend most of the public money was on Boise, now that the sharps and wiseguys have now moved in the books have had no choice but to move it. Books don't respect the public wagers, it's when the whales come in and they take notice and adjust. I will most likely be on VTech in this one, Boise deserves respect they are a great program, but they will fall short tonight.

that doesn't even make sense, Fish.

**hanziman** · 09-06-10, 02:56 PM

Don't underestimate Boise but first game of season that feels like a bowl game throws stuff way off.

Well, they won at Oregon pretty easily last year (much easier than final score) and Va Tech only returns 5 starters on defense.

Also, Boise's past struggles vs. BCS schools are irrelevant because that have gone 3-0 vs. those schools in last 3 years and this is probably best Boise team ever with 20 returning starters.

I also don't recall it as an easy win.
