    How big of a hit do the books take on Notre Dame?
    Is it big when they have to pay out a +350/+400 dog on a "name" team like the Irish? Or is it pretty much a split given the teasers and ML parlays that needed the Sooners?

    1 game means nothing to them, especially in the long term.

    Plus the opposite happens plenty of times with -400 faves losing and "big name" teams who don't cover the spread so it evens out in the end.

      Ton of action on this game, but looks pretty split to me.

        Plenty of "Forum Sharps" on Ok minus the points to make up for it.

          Not much
          They win as usual overall when you factor in the entire card

                  Are you kidding? For every person on ND there had to be 5 on OU.

                        Really? So 83% were on Oklahoma? I'd love to see the stats to back that up.

                          People were all over OU. I don't know the exact stats, but I doubt the book took a BIG hit on a double digit dog winning.

                            no matter.
                            the house will be making money back from the bets on oregon state.

                                I'd be willing to bet that the Oregon State game got about a fifth of the action that the ND/OK game took.

                                    This spread tricked me into thinking my Sooners would win.

                                    I've said all year we are overrated and didn't think we were as good as we have been, especially with the injuries, then I see us favored by double digits and feel good about things.

                                    Oh well. I almost knew I was screwed when the majority of this board like my team -12 against a top 5 team that's undefeated.

                                      80% of this board had to be on ok.

                                        Yep. I didn't bet on OU but I'm an alumni so obviously I had a vested interest in this game.

                                        I should have known I was F*cked when everyone liked them. Typically people love Notre Dame and love taking all those points when a top 5 team is involved. I'm shocked so many people liked OU.

                                        This isn't the same OU team we have seen over the years and it's definitely not the same Notre Dame team.
