Vegas is serious business

Submitted by mejunglechop on

ALL HAIL VEGAS. This is the second straight week Vegas has been a lot closer to the final outcome than us, Mgoblog brethren, who really should have as good or better a read on the team. At this point I really hope we're favored over Purdue by 7 or more.

Is this worth it's own thread, maybe not, BUT I'M SO HAPPY.

Vegas might have lost a lot of money by giving out illini +3, but they also made a TON on people betting the illinois moneyline. 

I bet they came out slightly ahead.  Still a smart move by them.

But who am I kidding, GO BLUE MOTHERF#$*&#!!!!!!

This thread is now about what people who bet on Illinois are going to do with their winnings, now that they don't have to spend it all on enough booze to make the pain go away.

I would've taken Illinois +3.   My theory was that it the football gods would punish my greed and Michigan would win the game.   Well, as it turns out, I could've had my cake and eaten it, too.

Just scary how those Vegas lines work.   I think I'll just keep my money under my mattress.

For those who did gamble on this one, I'm curious to know how it worked out for you.

I hedged my bets by taking the over and Ill +3. I felt that if Michigan were to win by more than 3 it would be a high scoring game and at worse I would push. As you can tell the absolute best scenario occured.
