its actually down to 7.5 at some places. but its 7.5o -160. meaning if you bet over you have to lay 160 to win 100. and 7.5u +140 meaning if you pick LSU to win 7 or fewer you bet 100 to win 140. LSU Over 7.5 (-160) Under 7.5 (+140) to get the number to move off of 8 like it has means a significant amount of money by someone supposedly in the know has taken LSU under 8 wins.
My service does a money line so it wont move from 8. IE the more people fire on LSU To lose more than 8 the more you have to bet to win your money back on under. But if LSU wins MORE than 8, than vegas pays considerably more than what you risk.... It has moved even more. I never bet LSU either, ever. To much emotion BUT every year I bet LSU to win the National Championship. Long odd sure but its tradition. LSU is +2500 so if LSU wins the National Championship. Its one heck of a return. Plus LSU won. How great is that.
Never ever ever bet where emotions play a part. Also as has been mentioned already several times very bad mojo to bet on your own team. I have not, will not, nor ever thought of betting on our Tigers. The thought makes me shake.
So here's an LSU betting idea. Bet just enough against the Tigers to cover a round of drinks. If LSU wins, you are excited and its like buying a round in celebration. But if LSU loses, you win enough to drown your sorrows.
