Not a gambler but what's the best legitimate source to place a bet based on this current spread?
Yeah, I'm wondering this same thing. This will be easy money it seems. Anyone have any recommendations on the best legitimate place to wager?

I believe the nearest legal sports betting establishment is Charles Town, WV.

Best place is Bovada.lv for my money. It is an online site.

Remember Vegas has built palaces on sure things. Not saying bad happens this Saturday, but we probably have enough emotionally invested.

Vegas nailed the PSU line at 24.

Vegas wins 60 percent of the time, which is enough to build new casinos.

Define “wins”. They don’t try to get the line right they try to get even money on each side of the bet. So they really have to miss to lose.

They make money on the juice (10% on average for each bet).

This line indicated the general public will believe PSU isn’t as good without their superstar RB and App isn’t as good as we looked last weekend. They may be right and I never bet on an App game (rule #1 of betting), but this line feels low based upon results the last week and year.

I would agree with you. I too never bet on App games but I will advise my friends that would on doing so. Looking at this line objectively, it has value, a lot of value. I would be shocked if it’s within 3 touchdowns.
