According to ESPN. When was the last time that happened?!!!

A week and a half ago when we played furd.

I think the Stanford line was 1.5

I guess it depends on what site you use. On the morning of the game, the one I use had it at 2.5.
I don't care tonight if we only win by 1. Just as long as we win.

against furd, the early line was CAL by 1.5 and it closed at CAL by 2.5.
With a 2 pt win, those who bet on CAL early won and those who bet late lost.

But if you bet Cal early and Furd late you won both bets. It's called catching a middle!

Just checked. Cal up to -3. Maybe bettors are factoring in the sellout. (haha)

Yes they're moving the line so they can get an equal amount of money on both sides. No wait, that's not what they do. What they do is… well the Wise Guys, and the Smart Money, and the Dumb Money and the…
Oh, as Gilda used to say…
Never Mind.

Does beating the spread still pay off if the team who beats it had to go to overtime to do it?

Just curious.

Generally, yes. Though it's possible (albeit highly unlikely) that someone makes a bet that is based solely on regulation. This would be more akin to a prop bet than a standard bet based on the spread.

Funny. Some people call it "sports handicapping." But when it comes right down to it, it's still gambling.
