The California Golden Bears are underdogs in their match-up against the Virginia Tech Hokie, according to the latest odds
With all the players for Cal on the injury list, I understand this betting line. Surprised it’s not a higher number. My prediction: VA Tech 34-21.
Is there any way to bet that our first play call will be a run straight up the middle for -1 to 1 yard gain? I’d make so much money
There are offshore sportsbooks operating outside U.S. state gaming commission jurisdiction who offer novelty prop bets like exact drive bets. But, from what I've read, they're shady.
Good luck getting your money out
Yep
My bet would be that our first third and long play will be a pass out into the flat that will pick up two yards.
And it won't be the last time we run the play.
Kalshi, Polymarket. I'm sure you can put your money where your mouth is if you wanted to.
