How much are you willing to wager that Iowa beats Iowa St?

If we're talking just straight up win or lose, that's a pretty easy bet, honestly. But if we're talking spread or over/under points....no way I touch that.

I think I’d go 2k. There’s just no chance Iowa loses this game.

2k doesn't mean the same for everyone. Is that a lot of money for you?

It should be said, that unless you're able to find some cyclone sucker on the street, 2k at -600 at the sportsbook, is only going to profit you $333.

Does that change your risk tolerance?

if i was a hedge fund manager with say 1 Trillion dollars of other people’s money i would wisely diversify by putting 90% on iowa by 2 TDs and 10% in ETFs.

my own money though savings account

edit: actually after more reflection i’ll put down $100 on isu to win

Yes, an Iowa money line bet is likely to win.

But vs the payout, at -600, not necessarily an "easy bet". You have to believe Iowa has better than an 85.7% chance to win, to project a long-term betting edge

Good post is good. 2k probably isn’t worth 300 hundy considering how close this game usually is

A lot of over confidence here. This is going to be a close, close game. I can see a repeat of 2024. But I hope not. I am sick and tired of losing to those chumps.
It won't be close. It'll be an Iowa blowout along the lines of 44-6. Jimmy Rodgers will rue the day he said what he said. It'll be domination like the old days under Hayden Fry.
