Who wants to bet me on PSU Michigan (not cinnabon)

[Hammerlock3]

Line is 22, the moneyline is -120 and -110 but I think thats just the house working in their edge, so it'd be even money on the line.

I am not a degenerate gambler. Can you explain all this bingo-lingo to me? What is the bet?

if penn state wins by 22 its a tie, less than that the person who bet on michigan wins, more than that the person who bet on penn state.

[Mr. PeanutButter]

Damn. That is tasty. sig/profile pic/charity donation bet?

[flyingcement]

I would have some interest in a 22 point line

[Wrestleknownothing]

hard to bet a line without knowing who will step on the line

I think you might have the vig confused with the moneyline. If there was a moneyline available on this dual it would be astronomically high something like Penn State -3000+

Which ever way I bet I lose money.

You would be correct, can't go wrong with the hedge bet.

I'm willing to bet my best bottle of bourbon against @bourbonknowitall's best bottle of bourbon that the announcers never call out "pinfall!" during the entire meet.  

[Pinnacle]

+12 at Intermission. Probably +19 or +20 if Starocci had wrestled.

They needed better announcers.

And it was a scotch night.

In Scotland they call it whiskey and single malt is a farce.

Wrong and wrong

Whisky

Try a good single malt it will change your life. Johnny and its' ilk is for noobs and rubes.

This is a hill I am willing to die on, on the college board no less.

[ionel]

Single malt is no different than other whisky in Scotland.  It is not a single individual malt.  It could be a blend of multiple malts.  Its not even a single barrel, if 6 year just means the youngest barrel from the blend has to be at least 6 years.  Singke malt simply means the whisky came from a single distillery.  Sure it can be very good whisky but you can have better with a better selection of barrels & age and distillerys in Scotland will tell you this.
