Seems like a great way to make money. No way we take a step back from last year and, unless I missed something southern miss and WKU will both have new starters at QB. The only reason why we have such a low win projection and theirs is relatively high is public perception.

Nah, that is so 1990's.  Now all you have to do is visit a website hosted in the Cayman Islands.

Remember these lines are designed to get an equal number of betters on both sides of the proposition. It's not what they believe will actually happen, that's not their purpose. 

A lot of people are going to think "North Texas has had one winning season in over a decade" and just go with that. Anything else requires more research than most care to do.

Historically, betting that NT wins 4 games is gong to be accurate.  We have never shown that we are more than a 4-5 win team, with a few exceptions. 

I hope our new coach and AD can change that perception.

Why the hell is that so easy and every online poker site ever is impossible to play and cash out from the US?

Over the years, I've often wondered if the real money to be made in sportsbook was by researching and better on mid-majors in football and basketball that might have skewed lines because the national handcappers don't know or don't care.

Seems like we just need Brint Ryan to go out a few mil on us over 4 and that IPF is as good as paid for. Easy money.

Thats why alot of handicappers make a ton of money during the early part of Bowl Season. Vegas doesn't have a complete grip on the line for the early "odd" matchups like they do the NFL. I've done most of my damage to the bookmakers during this time frame. It's not a pass to make a crapload of money, they're pretty damn close on lines 95% of the time, but you will catch an odd line or two every year...

Preach.  No reason to get your jimmie's rustled over it.

      The ridiculousness of the transfer portal era personified

      Companies don’t owe you a retirement. That’s your responsibility. If they offer that, it’s fine, but no small business employee has a pension—they have to save in a 401k or IRA. And most pensions are extremely costly To manage and the payouts very often end up benefitting the pension more than the employee or their beneficiaries.

      Some of the posters on this board are extremely naive to the future of college athletics. Whether the G5s want it or not, just like some lower level P4s, the system that has been created was entirely built on the idea that it would bankrupt the programs from competing against the Top 50 schools in football and basketball, probably for baseball and softball, too. I really don’t care anymore how quickly it all falls apart, but the fact is that Texas, A&M, OU, LSU, Bama, etc…play a different game than anyone in the G5s. If you contribute to this mess, you are selling yourself a lie. I met with a local high school coach today of a 6A high school. His exact words are that everyone knows that UNT is only getting kids that are looking to make money somewhere else as soon as possible and use the AAC as exposure to the P4s. The TX HS Coaches are telling their players and parents this. And they are being contacted by the P4s to be the conduit between the player and the P4 buyer. It’s a system that North Texas or any other G5 not named Memphis can’t play in for much longer…

      Other programs tampering with UConn's players, Mora says Mora later wrote in response to a post that he doesn't know how to fix the tampering issue in college football, but that "we will expose any program and coach that violates" NCAA rules. He added: "I'm 100 percent against grown men cheating the rules and teaching players horrible life lessons." https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/43228675/other-programs-tampering-uconn-players-mora-says
