Awful sports weekend here in the midwest..... As to the Illinois question though, the favoring system is only concerned with evening out the betting on a game. If huge bets are being placed on one team, the line moves to encourage betting on the other team. Means Wisconsin wasn't getting any respect...from teh gamblers. And, as usual, there was a reason.
Oh, and a very sad "bye bye" to the Yankees for the 2007 season. GO INDIANS!!!!!
