The opening line is the only spread that Vegas thinks will


Nov 26, 2016, 6:27 PM

be about right. Any spread after that is a result of how the betting is going. Sure must be people betting on us to cover as the line has now moved to 27 and 27 1/2 on some services. Head scratcher for me.

It's not about winning and losing, it's about enticing bets

and making money

Clemson


I know that, but the opening line is designed to be as close

to what they think the spread will be as possible. Their goal is to have even amount of bets on each team. That is why the movement of the spread after the opening line is strictly based on betting activity. But the opening line is usually the spread they think is the closest to what will actually happen.

They just want to split the bet.
27 is high so people will take the Coots to cover the spread

Why is it a head scratcher?


Nov 26, 2016, 6:31 PM

The Coots' offense is ranked in the same area as BC and Wake. I really don't expect them to keep up with our ability to score

Clemson


I've seen them play. Their offense is much better than BC


Nov 26, 2016, 6:54 PM

and Wake. That is not even close.

I jumped as soon as the line popped Mon morning -23. If its -27.5 now all the money is going on us. The book just wants to break even and take the 10%

A coot will usually blink when hit in the head with a ball-peen hammer

Betting public on South Carolina. Sharp action hammering Clemson big time right now.
