lol It's definitely against NCAA rules. If you're part of the athletic department, you can't gamble on any NCAA sport, nor can you gamble on any pro games where the sport is also played in the NCAA.

 

Bodog will also close the action if there's huge movement one way or the other.

Not sure on this one, but typically with bets on things like reality tv the maximum bet is really small, like $100 or so.  They wouldn't allow anyone, even Bave Drandon, bet the endowment...or even a Trans-Am.

On a bet such as this, the casino will have a set amount on how much they will pay out on a bet. Let's say $25,000. So if you show up with $10,000 to bet at 10/1 odds, your first bet will be $2,500 at 10/1. Then before the next bet is made, the odds will come down to 5/1 or 3/1.

They do the same thing with Horseracing futures as well.

It would seem like the people who have that inside knowledge would already be comfortable enough financially that they aren't trolling online options to win a couple hundred bucks because they guessed right based on that inside info.

Have the odds changed since your posting?   I found reference to this in some on-line article and the odds noted in the article were different from those at bodog...odds moved due to either heavy action or new information?

Hoke and Miles are moving already.  Although there's most likely not a ton of action on this so some relatively small bets will move these odds fairly easily.

Did anybody see what the odds were for Madden -- even as a one year interim coach?  That would be such an out of the blue (non pun intended) hire that all fanbase factions would just go "Huh" together as one.  The opposing teams be completely distracted at each game because -- it's Madden.
