Big Money
On top of that, the 42% of bettors on Nebraska have accounted for 68% of actual money hitting this spread. That not only means a slight monetary liability for sportsbooks, but it’s also another sign that bigger bettors — the ones more likely to be sharps — are laying the points, not taking them.
