No kidding!
HB? ...are you seeing this!?

Hopefully someone can track down the casino posting these odds...

I'm even tempted to throw a grand on this bet, but I don't know what avenue to take to accomplish this feat.

I haven't found it up anywhere. I think it's probably just something someone in Vegas calculated odds up for, but I doubt they actually get put up.

If I knew for a fact! That HB was indeed going to ISU... I'd be on the next flight to Vegas with my life savings!

Of course if I were HB, I'd be doing the same thing anyway.

I just contacted sportsbook.com, the only online sports betting site I know of, and the lady told me this...

Kathy Andrews: Unfortunately, there are currently no lines available for this event.
Kathy Andrews: I will pass on your request to the linesmakers and we will email you to let you know if we can offer that line.

wow... forget NBA... Barnes' mom could put down 100,000 (mortgage the house) and end up with 10 million with 0 risk.

If those are real odds, maybe ISU should put a bet down and then Barnes knows that if he comes to ISU, ISU will have millions of dollars from Vegas to further improve facilities.... all in his name!

If this bet opens up, I'm most definitely getting in on the action. If I win, I'll buy season B-ball and Football tickets for myself and ten of my closest friends...and a new RV for tailgating.

I agree. The lines usually move with the money flow and Cyclone Nation would have the line beat down to 3:2 ISU in a matter of about 10 minutes.

I don't see how Vegas would let people bet on these lines though, if there are a few select people that know they could totally cheat the system

Would she have to forfeit that bet legally? I know its all hypothetical, but is there small print?
