Default Houston $10,000 play

My brother is gonna have $10G's on Houston at $1.14 on the ML. Looks like easy money but stranger things have happened. I'm trying to talk him out of it. Not so much they won't win just the risk versus benefit angle is not there. Any thoughts???

Like I said he hasn't had the bet yet - will do if he plays - I think he will - bit of a nut job sometimes

That would be the dumbest bet ever....it would be smarter of him to put like 1G on SMU moneyline. This is a Houston team with zero defense, and an SMU team that is on the way up. With a payout like that it's almost retarded

Why is it a dumb bet??? I really don't see SMU winning here. Yes, it's a huge risk and your paying a hella juice but 9 times out of 10, Houston should win this game.

Myself, going to ECU and watching CUSA for over 5 years now game for game, DON'T DO IT!!! I REPEAT, DO NOT DO IT. Obviously you may win and that is about a 50% chance as all Linesmakers shoot for but it is too much of a toss up to lay down 10 G's. No side looks good, 16 is too too too too too too too too too too too much. BOL!

SMU is def. overrated b/c of their fluke/lucky/bullshit game versus ECU but they still aren't a terrible team and they are a team that I would not underestimate 16 points vs any CUSA team.
