Don't be so narrowed minded and take a look at the bigger picture.
Believe me man, no offense taken! I enjoy hearing ANYONE'S OPINION, unless it's one of those people who just hate the world and talk crap (not sports) because they enjoy other people getting mad.
And believe me, I'm NOT closed minded. I think people believe things (such as what you said) for absolutely no factual reason.
You are either saying that the almighty Vegas KNOWS that Kansas won't cover OR that a player/team is going to throw a game.
You think that they want all the IDIOTS of the world to jump on that line and lopside it with sooo much money that the unemployment rate jumps up to 20%.
No offense, but do you really think they know something? Or do you really think that the almighty Vegas likes to gamble with their own money.
See I think it's the conspiritors that (as open-minded as they think they are for coming up with such conspiracy) really are the close-minded ones.
Again, not trying to offend you. The computer world is so impersonal and many texts on phone and many comments are taken the wrong way.
But Vegas doesn't gamble. They make money EVERYTIME. That is what JUICE is. They keep each side of the bet monetarily EVEN so that they ALWAYS make money. That's how it works.
Now, if the almighty Vegas KNOWS something, then you are saying that EVERYOTHER sportsbook that is out there, ALSO knows exactly why the line is crazily out of sorts.
Bottom line: Sportsbooks are BUSINESSES. THEY ARE NOT GAMBLERS!
And if only a few sportsbooks knew that something fishy was going to happen, you can't expect EVERY book to have the same line. They are all trying to keep it balanced.
Why does the almighty Vegas make huge sums of money on EVERY Superbowl??? Because they keep the sides even and collect the tax no matter who wins.
When does Vegas lose? They lose when an un-godly amount of people are on one side and the line moves fast to try and get the lines even again, BUT they never get even and the "wrong for Vegas" side wins.
THAT is the only time the almighty Vegas and ALL his sportsbooks and all his little minions of bookies lose money.
SPREAD THE WORD: KANSAS WILL THROW THE GAME TOMMORROW!!!!! DON'T BET ON THEM!!!!! MATTER OF FACT, BET ON K-STATE!!!!!
