    We use the Vegas line when one is available. It goes in cycles.

    Wait till another ISU vs KU happens like last year, all those credits will go bye bye.

    Spread will be close or even. I'd almost bet now that UNLV could be slightly favored. Don't care they beat ASU, we will win this game outright.

    Iowa State became the Cyclones after they leveled Northwestern in 1895. As the Chicago Tribune (9/29/1895) noted:

    It Comes from Iowa and Devastates Evanston Town'

    Pretty good guess...

    My point is that, for example last Saturday's game with Iowa, when that spread is listed on cybookie it does not change as the bets get lopsided towards one team. That lopsidedness is what allows the inflation of credits. If that line moves as everyone bets on ISU some brave soul will start to put bets on Iowa (private bets only to avoid scrutiny) to even it out.

    I assume this would be difficult to do but I think it would help to avoid the inflation.

    I understand what you are saying. But if not for the late safety, we whould have had a lot of people asking for a hand out. (Welfare)

    I'm pretty sure that you can't do anything about that on this site for an ISU game. It's a site full of Kool aid drinkers, and ISU would be the favorite in every game. As, of course, they should.
