Miami opens as just 5-point favorite @ Cincinnati

Ok I know next to nothing about betting. All I know is that Miami @ -4.5 means they are favored to win. Can someone give me a crash course in sports gambling so I can get in on this action?
 
And if we WIN by 28, what will you say? Just curious. I don't think we WILL, but if we do???
Any competent UM HC in his 5th year should be a 28 point favorite over this horrific Cincinnati team. That 5 point spread says it all on Folden. Tells you how far he's dragged this program into his fat nightmare.
 
They have their best player out with an injury....anything less than a 28 point win would be embarrassing.

This isn't the '01 Canes. Take any W as a blessing. Be realistic.

Exactly. Don't care one bit about the line for any game. Just win.

The line shows us how neutral non-UM fans/bettors compare the programs.

Vegas will keep an equal amount of money on both sides, so regardless of who wins, they win with the vig.

It's very much a perception barometer, money talks, and people's money are saying they think we're about 5 points better than Cincinatti without their best player.

Recent events in the stock market has me thinking all forms of gambling is rigged. Too many games the past few years with Gorlden at the helm that were "free money" and Golden proceeded to **** the bed:

VT 2013
GT 2014
UVA 2014

I think our D-staph has a total loss of confidence... and if they don't (even worse), they should.

I'd put $ on Canes, but root for UM loss bc I care about the future of the program.
