Ohio St at -7 should I be worried?

[missingmaine]

I jumped on the bandwagon for Ohio St a little late, and got it at -7. I have noticed that the line has not moved much, which would mean to me that there is equal action on Iowa. I am getting nervous, is anyone else?
Also, I am VERY new here, and I appreciate all the well written posts, they help VERY much. Thanks!

80% of the money is going on OSU with no line move.

just to make sure everyone knows they can middle this game on the 7 at Bodog vs Mansion.

-115 and -107, but 10% reload at Bodog will take it down to 6cents.

If Iowa side wins or the middle hits you owe Bodog 3 raked hands for ever $10 wagered.

Seems EV+ to me.

Just to clarify, I believe this means 80% of the wagers are on Ohio St. Since the line is not moving much, it implies that the money on each side is near 50-50.

Which would mean the big bettors are betting Iowa. I probably won't play this game, but if I was I would take Iowa. I know they have looked like crap so far, but they should show up for this game.

I think Iowa covers, but OSU wins.

Come on now. Like those guys betting 20 dimes a side know more than me and MyTurn. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Sorry, I wasn't trying to imply that just because someone makes a big bet that it is a good bet. It's just like poker, there are fish at all the different money limits. Besides I don't handicap games using this method (i.e. betting against the public)

I actually like Iowa in this game and not because of who anyone else is betting on. I just think this will be Iowa's superbowl so to speak and they will get off to a fast start with the fired up home crowd. I played this angle a few times last year with success (i.e. Bama over Florida and Penn St. over Ohio St.) I might put a small play on the Iowa moneyline, but mostly will just enjoy watching this one.

Every week is Ohio State's super bowl because all they have to do is win to be national champions. I understand that Drew Tate and Iowa are very good and experienced but this OSU team is awesome. BTW I live in Cincy and am biased. I heard Iowa is going to make it a point to put 7 in box and stop Pittman, if so they have no shot of covering Ginn and A.G. The OSU is too good to be within ten points.
