This is how much money people are wagering on each team...in case that needed explaining...I thought it was interesting. Anyone not surprised by the team at the bottom?

Teams are ranked in number by how much money has been wagered on that team in the last 30 days. The first number is the amount that has come down on that team for the entire year.

[zubzub]

I'm very surprised by West Virginia.

[zubzub]

and Florida at 52?

some of this is very surprising to me.

[zubzub]

pub has spent more money on Ohio U than Ohio State!!!!!

[Cougar Bait]

Yeah, a lot of them are surprising. Also public has soured on Penn State as of late, however over the season they have the most money at over 8.4 mil...

[zubzub]

Notre Dame at 65 is puzzling with the TV contract. I think thats still in effect though, you know, maybe not. I don't see them it seems. Maybe that ended so thats why I see them at 65. That and the disastrous season they had.

17. Texas Christian $6,012,500 $3,324,400

bunch of bandwagon jumpers. We should be mindful of the possibility of potentially favorable lines (?) playing against some of these teams if pub is dropping so much on them.

16. Iowa $6,848,300 $3,437,900

I wonder how much of that last 30 days total was last week vs. 49. Indiana $5,749,500 $2,839,300?

Seems to me like pub was on Indiana.

Wheres USC?!?

56. Southern California $7,398,800 $2,679,700

shit 56 really surprises me here.

I don't know the public as well as I think. Thanks for this, very interesting stuff.

[polson22]

i don't understand (believe?) the numbers

isn't the handle on a big ohio state game 20X that of an ohio game? i can't see how more money has been bet on ohio than ohio state....... now if it's a normalized stat (i.e. assume $10MM bet on each game and then allocate it proportionally) then i understand.

but just seems impossible that more actual money bet on MAC team than ohio state.

i could be wrong/surprised though.

[polson22]

ok.... if you click through, it's based on covers contest. not totally sure what that is but probably not real money bet and presumably you have to play a bunch (all?) games.

anyway, still interesting info. but not the amount bet on each team in cold hard cash.

[hhsilver]

I see what you are saying, Polson. I felt the same way at first. But, thinking about it --- the big. big players are just as likely to put huge amts on LaMonroe as on ND or Usc. And this is about money , not total number of bets. It takes many $10 and $20 bettors on ND to put as much money down as one high roller on a sunbelt or MAC team.

edit: never mind --- just saw polson 2nd post and I have no idea what a covers contest is - nor do I care.

This is important ya'll.

dude I was SINCERE!!

I swear, you misunderstand.


I would never at this point have a reason to insult you.


I was up in cakas' thread about that....from the start then you came in and took it seriously.

brother, I meant what I said sincerely.

We need good cappers here and you're obviously very intelligent and serious about winning.

dude. I'm sorry it didn't come off well.

Uhhh...I actually think you DID misunderstand him and yeah, sorry guys, this is from a contest, and I didn't look at the bottom of the page otherwise I would have known that and not bothered posting it. Doesn't seem out outrageous though for a MAC team to have more money on it than a BIG10 team...especially when you consider the kind of money that has been made in years past on teams like...say...Toledo.
