Pro-Am Football
The easiest money you will win this year on anything is going to be betting the Over on Indiana college football total wins. I asked Lou how much I was possibly allowed to bet on one thing and he said, “don’t you owe me money?” Well played. Indiana is going to smush their Over, please remember you heard this here first on Aug 26th, year of Our Lord 2013. The Vegas number is 5.5, the real number should be 6.25, the actual number will be at least 7. This is a thing that will happen.
The Bet
Indiana Over 5.5
UPDATE
There will definitely be more of these to follow but IU is my big play. The juice on the bet is absurd (-155). Vegas realizes they are going to win at least 6. I would honestly rather have 6 at even money. Lame, se la vi.
UPDATE II
The Indiana action wound up being the only thing I genuinely liked. I would love to bet the Oklahoma under, not really as an indication of the team’s potential weaknesses as a recognition of how difficult their schedule is, but @ 8.5 Vegas is as always a step ahead. As with baseball this year, I will make up for this lack of early action with oodles of regular season plays, starting in earnest Week 2.
