Colorado, Sanders deal sportsbooks ‘ugly outcome’; $1M wager wins​

Before kickoff of Saturday’s Nebraska-Colorado football game, “Colorado -2.5” was trending in sports on X.

The game featured a massive handle at Las Vegas sportsbooks, with Station Casinos reporting it had 40 percent more handle than the most-bet NFL game.

And the public loved the Buffaloes, who went off as 2½-point favorites at most sportsbooks. Caesars Sportsbook closed Colorado -3.

The public ended up on the correct side of the result, as No. 22 Colorado was hardly threatened in a 36-14 victory over the vastly overrated Cornhuskers.

A bettor at FanDuel, which does not operate in Nevada, won a $1 million wager on Colorado (-2½) to cover the spread.

“I’ve never seen a pros/public split like this Colorado/Nebraska game,” South Point sportsbook director Chris Andrews wrote on X. “Of course I’ve only been doing this 44 years.”

The game stayed under the total of 56½.

“Ugly outcome for us,” Red Rock Resort sportsbook director Chuck Esposito said via text message. “Although sharps were clearly on the Huskers, public clearly outpaced them in straight, parlay and (money-line) play. Great game for the guests!”

BetMGM reported Colorado was the most-bet team in college football Saturday, with 85 percent of the tickets and handle. One bettor wagered $115,000 on the Buffaloes -2½ to win $100,000.

The Buffaloes (2-0) surpassed their win total from last season and are more than halfway to the bookmakers’ season win total of 3½. Colorado hosts rival Colorado State next weekend and is a 20½-point favorite at BetMGM before stepping up in competition Sept. 23 at No. 13 Oregon and Sept. 30 against No. 6 Southern California.

Lucky Push

Anyone holding a Utah -7 ticket is feeling fortunate to push. Anyone holding a Baylor money-line ticket might need something to take out their frustration on.

The No. 12 Utes trailed on the road late in the fourth quarter, but scored 14 points in the final 1:59 to escape with a 20-13 victory. Jaylon Glover’s 11-yard run with 17 seconds left put Utah ahead after Bears quarterback Sawyer Robertson was intercepted.

Baylor tried to let Glover score on purpose, but the Utes running back ran along the goal line wasting time and looked like he was going to go down to set up a game-winning field goal before he was pushed into the end zone by a defender.

The Utes tied the game at 13 when quarterback Nate Johnson scored on a 7-yard draw to cap an 88-yard drive. Utah played without starting quarterback Cam Rising, which impacted the line.

Baylor was as high as a +245 underdog at Circa sportsbook.

If true, which may or may not be the case, that's the max payout fanduel will allow.

1 million.

You can't win any more on any event, no matter how you spread those bets out over days and times.
The rule applies to accounts and groups.

All-time? So that person wouldn’t be able to play there anymore?

Seems like they’d want that kind of action in the future

No, that's the max on a single event, or parlay. What I mean is if I buy some SF-3 on Monday and then some SF-3.5 on Wed, and then more on Friday the most I could win on SF spread is 1 million.

The book will research the bets to determine if they are part of the same event. Just because a line move lets you bet the max again won't mean they won't limit your winnings once it's up to 1 million.

This is in the FanDuel rules...

• For all events offered, the maximum winning limit per bet (e.g., straight, parlay, SGP, or other) is $1 million US Dollars.
• The maximum winnings limit will apply to any one customer, or group of customers acting together, wagering on the same combination of selections, regardless of whether or not such bets are struck separately, at a range of different prices, on different days and through a number of different accounts. If FanDuel Sportsbook believes that a number of bets have been placed in this way, the total payment of all those bets combined will be limited to one single maximum winnings.

I want the Colorado hype to build for another week. Hopefully, they bury Col St next week.
Then, when they play Oregon I think there will be an edge as the public will be big on COL again and give us all an advantage to play.


We can make some $ on this Colorado hype guys.

Call me crazy, but I think they can beat Oregon on the road lol . USC at home the next week could have a 100 points in it, like that Mahomes/Goff game a few years ago.
