Never said you did, but you linked it and seem to agree with it despite its obvious flaws in the methodology. Can you say with a straight face that Nebraska's and Penn State's titles won during the time they were pre-Big 10 should count towards the Big 10 total? It would probably help you to say it out loud a few times in order to realize how ludicrous that is.

How about coming up with a list of titles by conference won when the national champion was in that conference that will get credit?

Oh cute...name calling. Anyway, anyone can put together a website and put together whatever they want on it. But it's on the internet, so it must be true....bon jour!

Big35Hurt · 01-17-2016, 02:35 PM

And with that, I am going to take the advice from others and put a certain someone on ignore. It's pointless to debate with someone who can't see things objectively.

You're calling that Pile O' Shizz list quality sports writing? That was complete click-bait trash.

Agreed. I could spend $10, get a domain through GoDaddy and put up a list of national champs by conference that is completely different (and more accurate) compared to what our resident B1G leg humper provided.

This is very relevant to the playoffs that they were not a part of.

No doubt

Man, I'm stumped. You say ultimately Vegas wants 50-50 action... then why are they sitting there getting pounded by Patriots and Panthers action? Shouldn't they adjust the line so they can get 50-50 action which they ultimately want? Or does pgisback know a little bit more about how Vegas lines making works? Up to you, I'll accept your apology in advance.

Money continues to pile on New England Patriots in Las Vegas

Quote:

The betting action in Las Vegas is piling up on the New England Patriots, leaving sportsbooks with a decision heading into championship Sunday.

On Saturday, the Patriots were holding steady as three-point favorites over the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game. The money was lopsided on New England.

At Caesars Palace sportsbooks, five times as much money had been wagered on the Patriots compared to the underdog Broncos. At William Hill's Nevada book, 85 percent of the money bet was on New England. The story was the same almost everywhere. Barring a dramatic rush of game-day money on the Broncos, Vegas will be a big Peyton Manning fan on Sunday.

------------------

The early money also was siding with the favorite in the NFC Championship Game. The Carolina Panthers are three-point favorites over the Arizona Cardinals. About 75 percent of the money was on the Panthers at sportsbook operator CG Technology. But Carolina wasn't necessarily the sharp side.

"The smartest bet we took this week was on Arizona," CG Technology vice president of race and sports Jason Simbal said Saturday.

Even as money continued to flow in on both favorites -- especially on New England -- the books weren't budging on the point spread. Asked what it would take to bump up the Patriots to -3.5, Nick Bogdanovich of William Hill quipped, "a lot more money."

^^^^^
Doesn't conflict at all about what I said.
Vegas wants volume.
The more bets the better.
They're scoping up their 10%.
The sports book would be content with 50-50 action.
That doesn't mean I am saying all bets turn out 50-50.
Heck, maybe some of the rinky dink books that are getting pounded with NE might dump their bets off elsewhere (bigger legit books wouldn't dare)

Love how earlier you kept patting self on back and patting Vegas on back when you were talking ncaa bets and in a weird way connecting self to Vegas. You also kept saying how smart Vegas was.

All I know if you lost about 80% of the games you said you bet and didn't very poorly in the games you said you pounded. Hopefully you have enough funds for some Alaskan king crab for Sunday's games

preakness · 01-23-2016, 06:34 PM

The article even says that some casinos moved the line to even things out (within 10k which is nothing)

Hilarious you didn't quote that

I accept your apology in advance

Lol, one sportsbook in the entire article mentioned moving the line and that's what you focus on? What about the big sports books that are just getting pounded with uneven action. Why aren't they moving the line to get equal action?

Hahaha, now you're just desperately making stuff up. Nothing in that article supports your claim or has anything to do with Vegas setting lines to get equal action. Nice try though. Your apology was already accepted, won't make you apologize again.

preakness · 01-23-2016, 07:01 PM

The article says that a major book moved the line lol.
You chose not to include it.
You read only what you want
Heck, you think you read an apology from me that never existed

Are you saying I'm
Making up your sorry performance in bowl
Betting????

Why don't all these books change the line so they can get equal action? That's their ultimate goal right. After this last comment, I will demand another apology and have accepted it. Thanks!

The portion of the article you failed to include (hilarious) shows some sports books will adjust to attempt to get closer to equal action. If the person quoted stated once line moved half point then "smart" money unloaded on underdog

Casinos want action
They want volume
If they need to adjust they will
If they want to keep at 3 and feel that's what's best for them, then they'll keep it there and cheer for Denver

Texas tech can beat any team in America
Lol

Fact you left out portion where MGM casinos adjusted line to get closer to equal action says a lot.
Actually quite a bit. Intentionally leaving out info

Priceless

You said many times Vegas is smart

Maybe those getting 85% keeping it at 3 for a reason

They are keeping it at 3 for a reason. One of those reasons does not include getting equal action, lol. Maybe you're slowly starting to get it.

That's the reason why Vegas didn't change the Patriots line. They just made a crap load of money and it has nothing to do with winning the juice off 50/50 bets, lol.

Lol. Nice
