“It’s all about getting the best value and in terms of sports betting, a half point can made all the difference in the world,” says Don Shapiro of Gambling911.com.
Florida backers would win with an 8 point Alabama victory at BetUS.com while everyone else would push.
While 8 point wins are indeed rare, they do happen. Last week Auburn beat South Carolina by 8 points.
BetUS.com had moved the line all the way to -7 ½ as recently as Thursday.
“Florida vs. Alabama is expected to be among the most wagered on College Football games of the 2010 regular season. Therefore it is crucial that the oddsmakers balance out the action as much as possible,” Shapiro points out.
