    Public had a field day on degen bowl games today

    Utah

    Duke

    K-State

    Three awful lines (way too short) with three favorites playing three awful teams. Books got bludgeoned.

    I dont know about any percentages but I doubt that. More Joe Squares would have prob been on WV and no doubt UCLA getting 6.5 pts.

    Why? Neither team had their QB. UCLA had no coach. WVU had no running back. Those lines were ridiculously soft given that.

    These bowls are getting ridiculous.

    Top players sitting out (qbs)

    Drastic coaching differences in level of care for win.

    Refs calling penalties all over the place to get face on tv.

    How much do you think the average bettor checks into those things, also it wasnt known if Rosen would start till late I think. Im just going on the bigger names really, I doubt most average bettors would be laying 6 with K State over UCLA.

    Even though K-State finally figured out UCLA in the 2nd half..... Refs weren't helping UCLA at all. I think every call went K-State's way in the 2nd half. Wasn't balanced at all...

    I also disagree with UCLA going for it at the 50 yrd line 4th and 5 or whatever. I understand the coach won't be there next year... but man... still coach the game logically and realistically. Absolute gift for K-State backers in every direction.

    There was a reason they showed Rosen in helmet and uniform during warmup. I wouldn’t doubt if UCLA was actually the public play. Bettors seeing that and thinking there was a chance so they would jump on +6. Also the books never lose on the last game of a public day because people use an old technique that doesn’t work anymore...they think the last game is automatically going to be the upset or the books will get hurt. Books never lose. If they lose it’s because they are worried too many people are losing and going to give up. Then they give some money away and the degenerates come flocking back and they take it all back

    Man the refs were helping ucla right out the gate with that bs pick call on the first drive. They helped them early in the 2H when they clearly were short on a fourth down. Refs didn’t help kstate near as much

    If you looked around , the public was all over K State -6
    Overall , the better defense is like 14-2 ATS in Bowl games .
    All 3 yesterday were better and covered
    FSU / Iowa / Texas / Purdue , so see if it continues

    Hope someone cleaned up. Not me.

    This trend of players sitting out Bowl games. Fk this. If ANYONE sits out...it should just be the top3 guys. If u stand to lose $40Mill...I understand it. Now, players on bad teams are sitting out. GMAFB

    It was me about the bowl system. I picked up the line sheet in vegas and on back are the stats of all the teams. Today it went 3-1 for a total of 16-4. If you took the team who has gven up the least total rushig yards of the two teams playing your record is 16-4. Not bad but my book wants to shut me off. Lol lol. Thank god hes a relation and hes betting them also
