Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[Jimmy Football]

Pretty obvious - ranked us # 10 today (mid 3) so they didn’t move us after this weekend.

They haven’t moved us since Mid-February. Used to be last 10 was most important. Now we might as well have not played them.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Kentucky gets the last 2 seed LOL

That is straight

 

[Enki_Amenra]

"ESPN and Media hates us again..."

- someone, prolly

Any support after our seeding is simply them patronizing us.

 

[LoudOrange]

That is straight

And you're getting kicked in the nads because of it.

 

[Jimmy Football]

That is straight

Auburn’s resume was definitely 3 spots better than Kentucky. And obviously 5 spots better than ours.

 

[jakez4ut]

Cal is blaming the loss on not doing a shoot around lol

 

[OrangenSC]

I’m excited to see what having a bonafide 5 star QB does for our class building going forward.

They're all gonna want big bucks.

 

[BJHSVol]

Seeding BS aside, it’s hard to ask for a better path to the elite eight.

 

[Big Orange#1]

Win the whole effing thing

 

[NMVol]

I am not sure I'm tracking this logic, you know because big media is post-factual. It's their job to abuse reason. Too bad it carries over to the Big Dance.

 

[BigSteve09]

Sports are rigged man. I'm glad we won today, that was a lot of fun.

On the whole, it has become about marketability. These huge media contracts, player contracts, coaching contracts, and sponsorships.

It's all WWE with different sized/shaped goals and balls.

Even still we are a high seed in the dance. Just as good of a chance as most. Go win. The path is harder than it should be because they obviously weigh tickets, ratings, and ultimately dollar signs days and weeks in advance of assigning these "seeds." Hope we blow it up.

Sweet 16 I think it's the floor here...

 

[tnhunter 10]

Lol this is a joke. ESPN said if KY won the conf tournament then they would have been a 1 seed. So does the tourney matter or not? Just the wrong name on the front of the jersey.

 

[Devo182]

"Committee doesn't care about the tournament"

...the 1 year we win it

Guess we should just forfeit and start skipping it...

Sankey better get up in their ***** over it. But he won't.

 

[KPT_VFL]

Not happy with the UK bias. However, still a great day on Rocky Top! One game at a time! GBO!

16 I agree. Nova has shown the EE won't be easy.

 

[TheRain]

Cal is blaming the loss on not doing a shoot around lol

Someone should have asked him if he felt ashamed of his tournament seed. Make him say they earned it.

Idk what they're talking about. If you bet $100 and lose, you lose $100.

Depending on the odds, if you wanna win $100, the amount you bet varies. -110 odds means you bet $110 for a chance to win $100. If you lose, you lose $110. -200 means bet $200 in order to win $100. Lose and lose $200. . .

This is right. You only lose what you bet. If you look at lines and do the math you will see the juice or vig. For instance, a spread bet will have something like -110 for each team, which means if I bet $110, and win I’ll get $100 plus my bet back for a total of $210 pay out. Say you bet the opposite of me for $110 and lose. You only lose your $110. Now we both put in $110 so the bookie gets $220, but the winner only won $210. The $10 difference is the juice. So all the bookie has to do is get equal money on both sides to ensure a profit. That’s why you see lines move. It’s purely based on math to ensure the Sportsbook always wins.

That's the way it's been done for a long time. When I use to bet years ago with the local bookie that was how it was done. The 10% when you lose is the juice.

I have never heard of that..unless you borrow the $100 to make the bet.

 

[VOLSONLY]

Dick Vitale gets it

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Just gonna pull a @Ulysees E. McGill here and say this whole process is …

**** it, time to move on. I hope this feeds this team and after they win and cut down the nets at the end they thank the selection committee for the extra motivation.

? The 10% is when you win.

Sweet Sixteen..yeah

Lunardi just said that the conf tourney doesn’t matter.

What Lunardi doesn’t realize is that he’s awoken a sleeping giant. Us against the world. It’s personal now.
