Per CBS Golden Nugget opens Bama at - 17 vs Va Tech

Hmmmmm why not take them in all of those ...Maybe hit 70% or at least give yourself huge middles ????

Clemson Overrated ...Go Figure ....

but only -8 at the Cuse would be a very Large wager for me

Guys:

The scene at the Golden Nugget on Friday afternoon certainly got the college football juices flowing a little bit.

This year, Golden Nugget sportsbook director Tony Miller allowed up to five plays each time in line at a dime max.

There were about 16 of us in line by 12:45 p.m. and the Nugget promptly put the numbers up at 1 p.m. All in all, I thought the process went fairly smoothly. Probably the first couple of times in line, it appeared all the bettors were playing the dime max on each wager.

In the past, I had been "represented" in the Nugget's unveiling by one of my Vegas buddies. This year, however, I was able to make it out personally. Hopefully, I'll be able to plan for it each year going forward.

I made 11 plays. If anybody's interested, they were as follows:

Georgia -11 (at Tennessee)

Florida -12 (vs. Tennessee)

Auburn +8 (at Tennessee)

BYU +7.5 (vs. Texas)

WVA +11 (vs. Texas)

Baylor +8 (vs. Texas)

Purdue +17 (vs. Ohio State)

Arizona State Pk (vs. Wisconsin)

Arizona State +4 (vs. Notre Dame in Arlington)

Louisville -17 (vs. Houston)

Michigan +3 (at Northwestern)

Good luck this season,

Paul

Yes. I believe every time a dime was bet, they moved the line one point. Some lines were only moved 1/2 point from the opener. I don't know if this was due to split action on the game or a play of less than a dime. These lines are extremely fluid, much like the Sunday afternoon scene at the Wynn during the season.

Regarding the games I played, Arizona State went to -1; Georgia went to -13.5; BYU went to just +6.5; WVA was initially +12; Baylor initially +9; etc.

Hope this helps,

Paul
