ok..

My observation... the duke game was the same game as the super bowl.. in that most everyone expected the favorite to win by double digits and it wasn't going to happen...

The conclusions I drew were that betting against the public is a much more effective strategy in games with higher limits... (championship games).

I know the underdog for the BCS is winning at a high rate too.. obviously in these games the house has a STAKE in the outcome. If Duke won by 10, they would have shed a couple tears..

The question is, can we find other situations where the house has a STAKE? or games the house is making an opinion because it is confident in one side? realizing that these are three of their make or break games.. I am just wondering if the house has any games during the regular season that it would take a strong opinion on?
