Never bet there, and I don't bet the NFL at all.  But -103 are good odds.  At -110 you have to win about 52.4% of your bets to break even.  -103 brings it down to about 50.7%.

Vanderbilt ATS has been a moneymaker.  Results betting 1U since 2024 including 3 games this year.

In other words, don't bet through a sports book seems like a nice rule to live by.

You could’ve stopped at “bet”. 😉

Vanderbilt was a 27.5 point favorite and gave up 21 points tonight.  Still covered, winning 70-21.

ROI the last 17 games is 46.3%.  

If I know it, Vegas knows it.  So it's interesting they are not adjust Vanderbilt's lines.

That kills the narrative that they want a balanced book.

Also, what is up with Rory?  People think he is good enough to be the 2nd highest over point earner, but not crack the top 5 for Europe?  That doesn't make sense.

Vanderbilt did not cover this weekend.  So a bit of a setback there.

Not only did they do nothing to balance the book.  They actually increased the odds to encourage more money to be bet on Europe.  Ooops.

Golden Tempo won the Belmont just now paying 5-1.

Second year in a row the Derby winner skipped the Preakness and won Belmont.  I wonder if they regret not giving it a go.  I have to imagine a triple crown winner's stud fees are worth quite a bit more.

I went to a few horse tracks in Ohio. Buy your tee shirt first. I bought a lottery ticket that paid 20 bucks and that was more than I made off the ponies. 🙂 Fun time though.

I worked with a vendor that was a huge race horse fan. He would call to have me help fix stuff and while we did that he would talk about horses. His wife almost divorced him because of it. He was that fanatical. He wanted to bet his house on a race that he knew this horse was going to win. The odds were enough to matter, let's put it that way. She told him if you do that - you are toast. He didn't. The horse won.

That still pisses me off he would say. Too funny.
