Ok. So I am not a betting person so please explain. I get the 1/2 but why wouldn't they all be that. What's the point of having a whole number?

6 1/2 protects against 6 wins.. NW at 4. What does that do vs the 1/2?

Thanks

In my opinion, the 1/2 just makes it cleaner and a guarantee winner or loser, eliminating the tie and allows the sports book to collect the vig on every bet.

 

[IM4NUalways]

Indiana under 8.5

ILL under 7.5

Iowa Under 7.5

Nebraska over 7.5. I think we get to 8 .

So putting Purdue at 2.5 OR 3.5 will change a lot of bets.
If people start hammering Purdue over 3...it will bump up.

Exactly. I just assumed Vegas always used 1/2 to protect themselves. At 4 1/2 you have the option of 5 or 4. If Vegas takes 4 now you've gotta do 3 or 5 or can you take the halves

Vegas tries to get equal amounts on each side.. Neb at 7 1/2 half at 7 wins and the other at 8... They should then be able to make 5% of the total bets... can't lose if to many bet on the over then the move it to 8 1/2... the betters ultimately decide the line based on the amount of $ bet on a team.. Vegas doesn't gamble...

Get to 8? After the 8th game of the year?

Not true at all, especially so in the futures market

Lots of super low numbers for such a juggernaut conference

 

[RBigredMax]

One of the SEC projections I saw maxed at 9.5 wins.

Will try and find the Big12 next 😁

Edit: Big 10 looks good on this I think …

7 SEC teams at 9+ wins

3 B1G teams at 9+ wins

Good try, Illinois fan

 

[HuskerAlum92]

The SEC is playing 8 conference games instead of 9. Have to increase all B1G win totals by one to compare to SEC win totals, at least for the top 9-10 B1G teams.
