Significant betting line movement in the past hour for The Game
The line has been at Ohio State -6.5 all week after initially opening at -7.5. Within the past hour the line has fallen to -5.5 at most sports books, with Caesars Palace giving us the most favorable odds at -5. I can't imagine the line would be tightening if the insider buzz was that O'Korn was starting.

Update 6:45 PM EST: Two more sports books (in addition to Caesars) now have the line at -5. Update 10:30 AM EST: Twelve sports books now have the line at -5.5 or lower. Two have it at -4.5.

You'd be amazed at the inherent wisdom and knowledge possessed within the betting line...

that is obviously true.
But the OP's point is that insider info on Speight is leaking out and probably causing money to be placed on Michigan over the last hour plus.
November 25th, 2016 at 4:49 PM ^
all on one side. They also move based on information that's going to lead to that. Say that OSU just announced JT Barrett was out, the books aren't going to sit back and wait to move the line. Of course the books aren't just sitting back and waiting for announcements. They want to have sources of info as good as the pro bettors have.

bet other than friendly wagers. However, I am interested in the technical side of gambling. I didn't realize that books continue to source information after setting the initial line.

Bovada (the biggest online book) hasn't taken any action on the game at all yet, presumably because they were waiting to see how the QB situation plays out

on both counts.
November 25th, 2016 at 5:05 PM ^
If Vegas is hearing insider buzz that Speight is starting, I'd imagine that we would be hearing that buzz as well.

today that is not yet general public knowedge (or even edge of the internet knowledge) regarding Speight?
The fact that the interwebs have suggested Speight practiced earlier this week, will be a 'gametime decision' etc.,would not cause the line to move substantially this afternoon.

saying that there is a Black Friday betting line effect.
Huh. I'll have to process that one for a bit.

LeBron started showing up to the World Series and the CUBS came back from down 3-1. The CUBS, people.

Make sure Lebron gets a really cool, brand spanking new O hat upon taking his seat in a very visible location. Worked wonders in the WS

For the opening play? Absolutely. He has to send a message.
And considering he doesn't play kickoff or kickoff coverage...it would have no bearing on the game.
