It won’t happen but I would love for Florida to hire Cuonzo.

Same, but I think everyone realizes he's not a good coach by this point.

Iv
I've always wondered how they make money if that's their goal. If it's exactly 50/50, Vegas makes $0. I thought their goal was to get people to put more on the wrong side, but that idea has flaws too.

The goal is the 10% juice. That way they're not betting.

Reece Davis gets it

Margins.

Basic analytics.

Which, shockingly, are in line with Vegas odds...people willing to put their money where their mouth is. The greatest predictor of all.

Same reason I argued VEHEMENTLY against Wisconsin. "#2 seed" according to some...while being #21 NET...#31 KenPom...and they were ranked as one of the luckiest teams in the country lol.

Did you help with the Prestige Worldwide presentation? Management, Financial Portfolios, Computers……
Margins, Analytics

When I bet on games, it's win double your money or lose your money. I don't see where Vegas can make money in that scenario if the money is 50/50. Obviously I'm an amateur sports bettor because I have no idea how you can bet 100 and lose 110. Do they come banging on your door to demand 10 extra dollars?

What is 10% juice?

Juice=vigorish: 1 : a charge taken (as by a bookie or a gambling house) on bets also : the degree of such a charge a vigorish of five percent. 2 : interest paid to a moneylender.

-110 odds. Must bet 110 to win 100.

Most bets are -110. So if you bet 100, you win 90. That 10 is the juice aka house edge. Not everyone hunts for those even money plays.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Well their goes Duke smh

Which numbers justify Duke being ahead of us?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Give me the 1 in the South and ill cry.
