I was in Vegas the day before the season started and couldn't find a sportsbook

It’s not bookmakers who don’t like us, it’s bettors.

This is a tired argument. When we on a message board say Vegas doesn’t like BYU

I had never considered fanbase impacts on the line.

I could be wrong but I figure it’s analogous to TV ratings.

I think when people say "Vegas," they know it isn't the bookmakers, but actually

It's this. Vegas has made a lot on BYU this year

Not true. The lines have moved in our favor for every game.

SIU moved heavily against us

Yeah, you're wrong.

BYU-Ite

10/1/24 5:04pm

That’s only true just before game time. That’s not true when the line opens.

That’s surprising with us at home.

You define “hilarious” differently than I define it. 🤔

Vegas is dispassionate towards BYU. The odds are created to get people to bet in

The bettors are just as much Vegas as the casinos and bookmakers are anyway
