USC Morning Buzz: Do The Oddsmakers Know?

One thing you always hear around sports betting is “the oddsmakers know.”

Well, here’s a chart that shows the Pac-12 preseason favorite vs. the actual winner from BetCalifornia.com

Since 2008, the oddsmakers were right 8 out of 15 times.

  • USC starts classes on August 21st. Will Bronny James be attending classes?

If his status is uncertain with basketball, is he going to want to be regular student until there is a resolution? It’s tough to predict at this point. But he’s going to need to go to class if he has aspirations of playing this season.

  1. The “oddsmakers” aren’t making a forecast of who wins, they are adjusting betting lines to balance out how the money is being placed by bettors.

        Gabby:

        You have offended my wife, my mother and my father. All sexual inferences. I let the first two go because they are both deceased but not my wife. You are the one who offended my family, not visa versa. I have never brought your wife or parents into anything. It is therefore my call – boxing gym in Pasadena CA, Mr. tough guy. Give me a date and I will make the arrangements. Stop being a chickensh*t.

        And nobody believes you are friends with Dana White. If you ever read the news, he is a staunch conservative who left the country during Covid so that the Dems. couldn’t shut down UFC. He wouldn’t allow a pussy leftist like yourself anywhere near his octagon. Rummaging the dumpster outside of the premises for plastic bottles redeemable for 20 cents doesn’t mean you know Dana White you leftist, racist, pussy.

        Give me available dates.

    3. That holds true when talking side beats. The art of baiting a “square” to take a certain side is how books have abused the public. Squares love to play the parlay cards, the books just rake in the profit off of those cards.

  3. Scott, oddsmakers don’t pick a winner or favorites. The numbers you posted are risk factors, low-risk low reward, high-risk high reward. Bettors determine the favorite

      I will remind you on how many basketball championships ugly won while the greatest cheater of all time and the Inglewood high school head coach led the team. I am talking about Johnny Cheetin’ Wooden and Jim Harrick. They won zero because they were bought. We all know that the AD, Charles Young was great friends with the ncaa director, else ugly would have been still be on probation and all titles removed. So stick it in your ear turkey

        #UCLA still rates its RECORD, eleven (11) NCAA BB NC’s and Dumpster U is still OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ferever and loving it.

        One last thought/fact PT: Coach Wooden never had to employ a recruit’s Ta-Ta (AKA a player(s) personal ATM, as it were) to land a specific C, BB recruit(s).

      2. For somebody who likes to quote the past but selectively forgets the all-time records of USC vs the opponents, you sure have a selective memory when it comes to using statistics. How about this one? You have 0 posts that are relevant. You have 0 levels of happiness in your life and you have 0 credibility when it comes to mocking anything related to USC.

        Just admit that you need to admire USC and need acceptance to be a winner for once in your life. Your doctor (at the free clinic) will thank you.

        U are correct, Johnny Cheetin wooden did not use an atm card because they were not invented at that time. Dam Gilbert was the money man and Johnny Cheetin wooden turned his four eyes away. Fir a person who bragged about detail he missed the new carts, clothes, and money in the players pockets.

  6. Can someone please tell me why the 2 lads (one transferring to UNC and one to FSU) got blocked by the NCAA. “The second transfer clause was used and hosed 2 good kids, one of whom never got to play at his first school Carolina A&T due to covid, and had a release waiver from his second school Kent st. because he was such a good kid. The other was Headed to FSU to be closer to his ailing mom 10 miles from fsu campus. The first kids Grandma who raised him hasn’t seen him play in college and lives minutes from the UNC campus. Yet JT Daniels is on his forth school no and never had to sit out a minute. Is it cause his dad can afford a better lawyer? We did this whole thing (portal) for the kids benefit and some kids abuse it and others get stiff armed. Doesn’t make sense to me. Btw. I don’t think JT has an ailing mom or grandma in Athens, Morgantown, or Huston.

    1. The transfer request came after the period when players could transfer from any school. These were late transfers (encouraged by unscrupulous coaches) and could have been submitted in a timely manner if they were legitimate and as suspicious as these late entries.

  8. Damn Crabs you half-wit, Dumpster U was established in 1885.

    UCLA was established in the year 1919.

    According to your math, the Dumpster U FB bullies only hold a 19 RG victory advantage after the bozos thirty-four (34) year FB head start.

    #Utah 47 – the Destroyer 24…or just 7 pts. in the 2nd half.
