I think Nebraska should cover at Purdue. What QB will play ? What do you all think

Betting on college sports is dumb. There is a 10% house advantage. You're not going to win if you do it regularly.

If anyone is interested in a good gambling follow on Twitter I would suggest “The Vegas Refund”. All his picks are free.

This is his 2018 recap

For those who don’t know, +51.6u means he’s up that many units. A unit is the select amount you bet on every game, as it should always be the same. So if your units are $100 for example, you’d be +$5,160 tailing his picks.

We have been told that Frost, Chins, Walters, and Martinez have been conspiring to rig all of the husker games. So you need to factor that in.

I bet NU so I’d stay away from it. Nebraska has covered like 1 game all season I believe. I don’t know why I put myself through the double disappointment

that is correct. 1-7 ATS, with NIU the only cover. Local bookies loving life around here, I'm sure.

Yeah to break even you have to win 60% against the spread which is near impossible in the long run.

first that’s assuming every bet you make is the same wager. You could win theoretically win 80% of your bets and be in the negative or win 30% of your bets and be in the positive

Second your math is wrong

10 bets @ 100 per bet. To win $100

60% wins = 600
40% losses = 440

or if if your wager is $100

60% wins = 545
40% @ losses = 400

you’ve netted 160 & 145 here, what am I missing?

Yes...you have to gamble $110 to win $100. The juice is usually 10%. You don't get to bet an even $100 to win $100

Doesn't even make sense. Bet 110.00 to win 100.00 in typical terms. Constantly putting up an extra 10%. And he would have lost like a typical sports betting fool.

You only put up the extra 10% on losses. That’s why the math works.
