Interesting betting line movement

[CougPatrol]

I'm not a gambler, but I've always followed betting lines.

The Apple Cup line has swung dramatically. After opening with UW -3, the line is now WSU +1.5 and +2 in the Vegas sports books. That's a 5 point swing in less than 2 days. That's pretty volatile absent a key injury.

UW -3 is the equivalent of WSU +3. So if the line is now +2/+1.5, that is only a 1.5 point swing.

WSU is now a 1 pt favorite at most places. A 4 pt. line move from the openning.

A bigger move is Oregon opened 13 pt favorite now down to 6.5.

Gamblers don't pay attention to this game history. No matter how bad UW is, it's a game.

It all the UW fans betting against their team that has moved the odds. Cougs have won 6 AC in Seattle in the past 50 years, regardless of the records WSU never does well in Seattle.

Our last two wins there was against a team that was against a team that was 4-8 and 2-8 and we needed last second touchdowns to beat them.

Vegas pays attention to everything. If there were easily detectable loopholes, we'd all be rich.

On this one, mainly due to being jaded, I go with the sharps who set the opening line, even if I like the way it has moved. They may have just been trying to get money on the Cougs, anticipating a lot of UW bets if the Cougs opened favored.
