Stay away from the Non Wrestling Topic threads. Ignorance and dummies run amok there...

Agreed maybe subjectivity should not be factored in

They have Gallagher beating Peterson so it doesn't seem like they do.

... but obviously too dumb to quit ... worth noting I had no idea the place existed till @MPhillips informed me about the dark side ... let that sink in.

Really think Iowa needs to flip one to account for Oklahoma states bonus but I do not see where they can do that outside of 184. Feels like Oklahoma state has an equal shot to flip 157 and 197.

What's the Draft Kings  over/under on how many Goats there are in college wrestling?   74.5?  I'm taking the over.

Well why is Iowa favored +1.5?  Draftkings has a different feeling.  Wrestlestat has OKST by 2.  So seems there some subjectivity when laying down the money.

Glad I dont bet.  I thought OKST(-1.5)  means  they are the 1.5 favorites but im dyslexic

That plus sign means Iowa is the underdog. It means that OkSt has to win the dual by at least 2 points (commonly read as -1.5) to cover the spread. If you think Iowa will lose by 1, tie, or win the dual then you would pick Iowa +1.5

too add to what  bnwtg pointed out in his response the spread is set based on how the oddsmaker believes the money will be equally distributed to each side.  They collect on the vig.  They are not necessarily trying to pick/predict the outcome.

On another website--BetOnline PSU was favored by 55.5(!!) and the line has since dropped to 52.5

I've been looking at UNI/Wisky for a while and I think 28.5 seems about right. From a betting perspective the dual pretty much comes down to 125/133. If Wisky can win both matchups it's going to be really tough for UNI to cover without a couple falls. If UNI wins at 133, UNI covers.

55.5 is just a ton of points to cover. Not impossible, but you would need a minimum of 6 pins which is hard to do in any dual.
