Vegas odds makers have Jalen Hurts going to Maryland

[TheEye]

Because Locksley is there and I'm guessing Perry and Williams are more competition than what MD has at QB.

 

[iLoveTDs]

not interested in playing that game. Withdrawn.

What’s withdrawn mean?

 

[iLoveTDs]

Any idea who the QB is week 1 assuming it’s not Hurts?

I’m guessing coach’s will decide in the fall but is it between Perry and Williams?

I’d guess Williams. Hs much more of a pocket passer than Nkosi (and more accurate)

I’m happy with Hurts here. I’m also happy with Tate. This is a win win fellas.

These odds are literally meaningless. Most of the sites that put out things like that don't actually list the odds for betting on their sites, and when they do the limits are insanely low (literally like $25). Completely meaningless

Exactly correct. They are looking for hits on their site and they know that markets like this will generate publicity to accomplish that. As you indicate, there is very little actual money or gambling involved. And I have no idea how the term "Las Vegas" is always sloppily attached to any type of quoted odds, even when they don't source from Las Vegas.

Same people said that Hillary would win the election.

You really think she should not have been favored? Nobody in Trump's camp expected to win. There are upsets in every type of outcome. The odds were only 65-72% Hillary in the final days, which is basically the equivalent of a 5 point favorite in a football game. Wow, what an upset. Nate Silver had it 71% in his final estimate. He was much lower than others. Nate Silver scoffed at the 99% from Sam Wang and the Princeton Election Consortium. It is hilarious that Silver gets grief for that outcome when he perfectly described the route that Trump had, and that it was hardly a massive longshot. Meanwhile others like Sam Yang and Huffington Post were convinced that Silver's model was wrong and that he was being far too cautious on Hillary's likelihood.

BTW, right wingers on PredictIt created an extreme bargain on Democrats regaining House control last fall, via the same flawed logic that you used. They kept saying the polls were wrong in 2016 so the polls will be wrong again. Meanwhile, there was no electoral college button to push, where 46% would magically equate to a victory. Ignoring that 46% reality was incredible. It was like ignoring that a football team won by scoring 13 points, and somehow expecting it to happen again.

Sauces?

I got Trump -190 the day before the election.

 

[iLoveTDs]

But for Trump collaborating with his daddy Vladdy and cheating, she did.

NPC alert

Trump is a Russian spy bro

Here is the brilliance of Vegas "oddsmakers". They think "hey, the former OC is a higher position than former QB coach, therefore he must be going to Maryland over Miami". Of course, that ignores whether Jalen was closer to his position coach than his OC, and it ignores whether Miami has more talent than Maryland.

In the immortal words of Wesley Snipes in Passenger 57, "Always bet on green and orange".

Take that bet.

Yea.. those casinos weren’t built on losing bets

Then you’re a sucker, because he was a big underdog even the day of the election on every single book/site.

That’s funny that you think you know all of that, but they don’t.

The. You’re an idiot, because he was a big underdog even the day of the election on every single book/site.

I'm an idiot when I won $500? Do you even online bet?

 

[fresssh]

I’d guess Williams. Hs much more of a pocket passer than Nkosi (and more accurate)

Based off what? He may end up being good, but i want to see whats got everyone so sure hes the best we got. ****, according to Shaqs dad Weldon was constently tearing up the defense in practice. I never hear about Jarren. Just fans saying hes going to be the goat

 

[Cane since 1060]

Vegas odds puts Maryland a strong first with Miami second that was one hour ago.

Leaving politics out of this, I would think the ones that lost any particular bet are the suckers, no?

You think a kid like Hurts is concerned about Perry or Williams?

 

[LoungeLord]

I’m happy with Hurts here. I’m also happy with Tate. This is a win win fellas.

Unless we get neither, then is it a lose, lose?

 

[TheEye]

You're right. In fact, after listening to Enos' interview, I think he goes to OK for even more competition.
