Duke/TAM: Oddsmaker spinning a tale???

[AchillesTG]

This came from across the street.

From Mike Perry, an oddsmaker with Sportsbook.ag, about the action coming in on Tuesday's matchups

"We got a small sharp play on Duke +14 (buying a half-point), so we moved Texas A&M to -13 where it still sits," Perry says. "Many people are going to miss seeing Johnny Manziel work his magic in an Aggie uniform. Many are also going to bet on Texas A&M, as they are getting 75 percent of cash versus the Blue Devils."


Really, Sharps jumped in and bought the hook? Why not take TAM -13.5?
Did some Sharps sprinkle money around at different books with the ultimate goal of getting TAM at a lower price?

Say what? If they bought to Duke +14 then they don't like TAMU. How is that complicated?

I am with the sharps here, Duke should score enough vs. the atrocious Texas A&M defense to make this a close game.

I must be all Gakked Up on the Woop Chicken!

Just not used to seeing sharps jump in and buy points, but I would have done the same to get it to 14.

Real sharps don't buy the hook from +13.5 to 14. What's the benefit here? Pushing?

Off course the oddsmaker is going to love it and call it a sharp play because he is making his living from selling the hook.

Tex A&M win by 20

My bowl pick of year is Duke +13.5.....Duke is a very good football team, with a very good offensive coach. The offense is going to keep this game tight..High scoring..tight football game. Do not be surprised if Duke wins outright!

I have two bowl picks that I absolutely love...and this is one of them!

Duke Blue Devils BIG fellas

[angelodebo]

Bump!

Because I loved that pick last night!
