    actually the line is back where it started. initially UF was a 2.5 pt fave and the smart money was all over LSU moving it 5 points to LSU a 2.5 pt fave.


    obviously the books received a lot of money later from the public on florida thinking the gators getting pts at home not to mention a 12 game winning streak there is a good play.


    many big bettors "middle" as well. if you took UF + 2.5 for 10k and later took LSU +2.5 u could hope to middle with no way to lose your bet if u laid the same on each. or simply bet less to hedge it.


    if the game ends up 2 pt difference or less in the final score you win both.

    the books cant balance bets if no one plays the line. therefore they keep moving it in their favor til they get buyers. its simply free enterprise meets crystal meth.
