If I were doing anything to the fountain drinks, it would to change the prices. 2.00 bucks for a soda that I know cost 97 cents cost sale. I know this because I worked as a manager in a grocery store for 4 years.

Fountain Drinks are a ripoff lol..>Go ask a manager at a Burger King(My brother is one)...the profit margin is something like 200%..

Lineman

Truth be told all drinks are a ripoff (convenience stores, restaurants, & bars). It's a way to offset the lack of profit on other things. For example, most convenience stores only make a penny or two per gallon of gas.

Even im smart enough to know thats a betting line to keep casinos from losing money. Nothing to do with actual points

if you watch the lines you would be amazed at how close they are. the casinos objective is to keep the line close enough to have the same amount bet on each team.

WPWells

This Pick'em will be insane

Right, so if you see a huge line, it doesn't mean that they think the team will win by that much, they just want people to take the points with the losing team to even out the betting

only if the line moves a lot. it usually does not. example. georgia 4 point favorite over arkansas. 1 million bet on each team. casino collects 10% juice from losers and pockets 100 000 profit.

I haven't been to a Charleston game in......7 years. They beat Hector 54-0 that night(Painted Fan was at this game)....could have dropped probably 150 on us that night, but Loughridge took mercy on us. Haven't to a game in Charleston in 8 years, in a game that Hector arguably could have won, but for some reason Coach Rust decides to start throwing the ball when we've been running it down their throats all night, we lost 20-14 I believe...(I'm sure Painted Fan or Iofthatiger can correct me on that score)

I just get along with the Charleston guys on here....maybe not having a real dog...err Cat, or maybe in your case a Cowboy :D, makes that possible.


I have had that Charleston-Booneville game in my plans since about June though lol...So heck or high water I plan on watching that one, it could/should be a classic.

DogsWin7

That will and should be a great showdown.   


The scores are rather interesting in the pick'em....I wonder what it will shakedown too after the college games today??   

WPWells

The one game that no one got right last night was EPC-Cross County

Proud Buckaroo

The thunderbirds definitely put it on them.

DogsWin7
