[QUOTE="JacketXL, post: 152638, member: 1907"] Unless they set the line exactly - the oddsmakers "lose" on every single game. They also "win" on every single game. Oddsmakers actually win when the underdog covers, but doesn't win, since the vast majority of the betting public will take the favorite minus the points. It's for that reason that they have to set the line far enough away from a pick em to give the underdog a shot, while still making it seem like the favorite will easily cover. So whether Vegas won or lost money on us last year almost certainly depends on if we were the favorite or not. I can't speak for the entire season (because I'm too lazy to go look it up) but I can almost promise you the Clemson,UGA,FSU,MSU stretch of games was very good to Vegas. [/QUOTE]
