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.

I wonder what the odds for Gruden have been for every other job that he has been rumored for... 10/1 seems pretty high for a guy who has "interviewed" for every job over the last 5 years.

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.

I searched for bodog and nothing recent came up.  Perhaps it was deleted (in which case this thread likely will be as well)?

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 3/2

Chris Peterson 15/1

Gary Patterson 5/1

Gruden 10/1

Whittingham 20/1

Miles 2/1

Trgovak 15/1

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.
