    there's no way to do this legitimately using those odds since they are ever changing so if LSU was a 10 pt dog you'd have no way to know if I made that up now thats it ASU -1'.


    tirk, LSU over ASU, +1'


    you should use a place that lists opening odds as well since those dont change.

    Actually I disagree. There is an easy way to verify whether a person is giving the correct current spread (just click on the link above). If the spread changes in their favor, then they simply benefited from making an early pick. If it goes against them, they can change their pick before the game starts. In many ways, it is preferable to pick smaller spreads because it is hard to consistently pick upsets, so you want to minimize the potential number of points lost (which is why I'm going for Texas over Ohio State). This is a tough game, and I seriously doubt that the winner will be in positive numbers by the end of the season.

    theres no way to check it once it changes. so u can click the link but u cant prove it wasnt what I said when I post a pick. theres no history to do so. if you cant understand that then i dont know what to tell ya.
