    Getting good outs
    I think even a monkey could beat sports betting with enough outs.

    Look at 314 Utah St.
    +29.5 -110 at Pinnacle
    +30.5 in Vegas. Utah St is the right side. If you're stuck with offshores, you're giving up... I'd guess 3.5% for losing the "30". If the offshore numbers are right, you're a long-term winner just betting this numbers a little off market.

            He's respecting the Pinnacle lean. Personally, I am staying away from this game though.

                  Screw the Pinnacle lean. I like it because my computer model is on it. The Pinnacle lean is just reinforcement.

                      some of us use a bit more complicated models than newspaper power ratings.

                          Sure Utah St. looks nice getting all those points but its a mirage. BYU wins by 40+. 56-10 final

                            What you actually mean is that you are scared to death now that you found out Dr. Bob is with you.

                              so you think this line is of by 18.5pts?

                              I assume you have bet most of your bankroll on it then?

                                  If the line is that far off and you don't have a large percentage of your bankroll on the game you probably hate money. More likely is you are clueless.

                                    looking at treece's spreadsheet, I'd say he IS pretty clueless.

                                        So let me get this straight:

                                        You won a contest over a relatively small sample size against a large field. This in itself is almost entirely luck. Given that this contest

                                        a) had little to do with handicapping ability
                                        and
                                        b) had nothing to do with college football

                                        isn't going to help your case.

                                                  Damn, I took Utah State earlier in the week at +28.5 thinking it was going to move down. Utah State has a decent rushing attack and should be able to put up a few TDs against this BYU team. Hopefully it does not end up a 29 point difference.....
