[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 116523, member: 1199"] The opening odds are set by what the oddsmakers in Vegas think will be the point spread required to attract betting on both teams. As the bets come in gamblers are saying who they believe will prevail with the existing point spread. So, yes, gamblers are saying who they think will win based on their knowledge of the teams. You can argue that they are just using the teams' reputations, but they are putting their money at risk and some of them are also avid followers of college hoops. That said, they could be wrong. In fact, about half will be. I do not bet on games, but those six points look very tempting. [/QUOTE]
