Gambling odds on Michigan starting QB week 1

Submitted by Bigku22 on

As a gambling degenerate, I always have my eye on a number of different offshore sites looking at new postings. 

Bookmaker.eu just posted some "College Football Special Props", and they have odds on Week 1 starting QBs for a number of teams including Michigan. I found the odds MUCH closer than I would have anticipated. 

Michigan Starting QB Week 1

Speight -105 (51.22% implied probability, meaning you need to bet $105 to win $100)

Peters +110 (47.62% implied probability, meaning a $100 bet wins $110)

Almost a coinflip. This does not mean they have inside info or anything, and this isn't a Vegas prop it's only offshore, but setting close to even was quite surprising to me. I would have had Speight closer to 60-70%.

Then I turned on the ND game and Henne was starting due to a pregame injury (torn labrum in throwing shoulder).  I wouldn't put money on that unless the book closes at gametime Week 1.

Let the speculation run rampant. I'm at work but my son is watching the Media Day and JH just noted a three way tie for the starting QB (straight coach speak). But noted that O'Korn has played consistently, Wilton has made plays and Peters has "Wow'd" him. Let the over analyze of every word JH says on this topic begin. ....

Hmm. So, does it mean if I bet I will win anyway? Or the risk is about 50 percent? I can't still understand all those details in betting. A friend of mine knows almost everything about it. He usually tells me about casino bonus availabilities and the amount of his win. I am afraid to start now due to the lack of knowledge.
