But there is no juice on betting on Auburn for this game, only 20% on KSU, correct? In other words, you don't have to pay the house at all if you bet on Auburn right now...?
In internet books now, sometimes they adjust the juice rather than move the line over a key number. For instance, if the line is 7, they know if they move it to 7 1/2 there could be a big swing in the way the money comes in. Rather than make that big of a change, they will change the juice to even on one side and -115 or -120 on the other. This effects the betting some, but not as much as adding the hook to a key number. So yes, sometimes you can bet the spread without having to pay the juice.
Those guys aren't stupid. I used to think I knew a lot about football until I started trying to make money at it.
