Florida State/Miami game rigged? (Economics proffessor's theory)

[BIG BOI 23]

Didn't the same thing happen with Louisville and FSU? I think a lot of people just think FSU is due for a loss somewhere.

boom 4 teams that dont look so hot now have given them a scare

 

[GreveHaller]

That's exact my point, not too many people took Auburn in that game.

how do you know?

I'm not sure you understand how Vegas uses games to make money

I understand it completely, maybe you are a bit confused. Vegas set betting lines to encourage batting on both sides.

Bingo. I've said for years that the National Championship matchups and story lines are manufactured. Look at 2008, Florida AND Bama got extremely questionable late calls that saved both of them from losses and in my opinion to keep them undefeated for a 1 vs 2 SEC title game. Happened to Texas the following year in the Big 12 championship game, refs gave them an extra second to kick that field goal. Happened with Auburn and the questionable circumstance around Cam Netwon, hottest thing in football at the time and you can bet money the NCAA wasn't going to sit that cash cow. This is only really something I've noticed in the BCS era, though I'm sire you could find plenty of examples.

Nebraska didn't get screwed there.

you contradict yourself. If there is betting on both sides then there is no "losing their arse".

you have any proof they lost their arse or is it just a guess?

Wonder how one gets started? I have a few K laying around that I would put on FSU to cover.

Again, just check Twitter accounts of Jameis and Chris Rabb. They'll tell you what you need to know.

An economics professor I have who studies Vegas lines like he works there thinks the game is rigged in Miami's favor.

His reason being that FSU'S -2 Line is moving in Miami's favor despite more people betting on FSU. This only happens when Vegas is anticipating a massive upset. An example? Texas vs WVU last week, it happened for that game. Texas won. Florida vs Miami last year, happened for that game. Miami won.

He says due to the big shake ups in the SEC, the powers that be want FSU out so another SEC team can sneak it's way back in.

He went on a lot more, but I don't have time to write it all. it's a very intriguing theory.

If Florida State loses, then don't forget this thread

Tell your professor that he's a dumbass.

 

[Escape Goat]

Haha

 

[WooPigSooie]

I dont know about this game but if people dont think Vegas has a hand in sports.. remember how adamant Goodell was about not caving in the 2012 NFL ref lockout until the Touchception?

Seemed like someone made Mr Goodell an offer he couldn't refuse.

ROFL

I'll say this....FSU fans probably have no fingernails left after watching this team this season. They always seem to barely pull it off.

 

[BearCat204]

So much for this theory

 

[truevol16]

Jameis shaved points.... Again ha
