To do what, lose by even more than Vandy usually does?

I think what the guy was trying to say was that without the games being fixed Vanderbilt would win all the time. They are just that damned good.

 

[Las Panteras]

Actually,

This kid spoke to that in this story. Apparently, there were certain prop bets the mob was pushing and not worrying if Vandy could stay within 40......

Point shaving scandals have occurred. Not sure if this guy is telling the truth, but scandals have happened.

Exactly! Why would he be approached to score more points!

Stallings brought the fix with him to Pitt. No other way to explain how thoroughly he collapsed a perennial powerhouse in a year.

If they were prop bets it would be goofy bets on number of INT's or whether or not a certain player scores. Easier to hide.

Over/Under on INT’s is an easy one if it is set at 0.5.

Come on bro. The perennial powerhouse thing had left town a few years before Stallings got there. He took the program from trending steadily downward to an abrupt free fall to rock bottom.

I wasn’t being serious. I was saying that Stallings was that bad.

The problem with this is that the limits on prop bets are very low and the market is almost always very quick to react. It’s very hard to get down more than a couple thousand on props without attracting a lot of attention.

Honest question...do people really pay that much attention to prop bets for low level college games?

The sports books and bookies taking the bets do.

Might be a tad skeptical but I have always felt like some of those bookmaking operations aren't exactly legit. But they have to keep things looking above board.

On that, there is no disagreement.

With legalized betting the sports books are making billions, they have no need to be rigging Vanderbilt football games that'll net them a few hundred thousand dollars, they're also looking to maximize profits so they flag anything that looks suspect. Illegal spots books don't want to get burned and can't take the financial hit when it comes suspect bets, if someone comes to them with some crazy big money Vandy prop bet they'll turn it down and alert other bookies, remember they are the house.

Yeah lines are established with the precision of Wall Street actuators. They are designed for the money line to be enticed in what won't work. "Fixing" games involve some rogue group. And there is no way that rag tag group of people are going to fix every game. It's fantasy.
