Travis Hunter Appreciation Thread (Awards: HE12MAN, Walter Camp, Biletnikoff, Bednarik, Lott, Paul Hornung, AP PotY)

I’m honestly confused at what he’s saying. But to answer his question yes, they would absolutely still be in the same situation.
NO - NO I AM NOT
It's best to do it in public so that everyone can see my mental breakdown.
David Pollack is a moron
Current odds range from Travis -2500 to -8000 with Jeanty’s best odds at +1000.
Vegas isn’t interested in losing money and they will take a major bath if Jeanty wins.
Not to bog this down with politics but he’s also been very outspoken about being anti-trans and a champion of Right Wing propaganda.
I never really liked him on Gameday either. I don’t think he vibed with the others very well.
Travis even got to play against the 2nd best MWC team, I wonder if his stats were any good?

AFAIK, there is no way to tell how many votes have been submitted already so there is no way to know this is true.
The betting odds are highly in Hunter's favor. This isn't like setting a line to a game. I'd imagine vegas has a good idea what voters have done or are doing at this point
Yeah but they have been highly in his favor even before voting opened which was on like the 2nd.
In the end the Heisman talk isn't going to matter a lot.
Assuming he stays healthy Travis is going to be the closest thing we have seen to Prime in the NFL. A multidimensional player who opponents fear in every down, a guy who isn't just better, he is better enough that he not only impacts games but he impacts now both teams prepare for the game and how fans watch the game.
Don't want this to sound like a stretch but "just" being a Hall of Famer" doesn't cover now we may look back in the end. There are HOF'ers then there are the all-timers. Travis could be an all-timer.

Been reported numerous times that the ballots come in early because nearly all voters decide after the regular season is over.
Yes
Just need 1 more vote than 2nd place to win, and he is favored by a good margin
Travis could have played RB and CB on Boise and would lead them to this same point

this is not true. They will now lose big no matter what. Travis was their number one liability by a major margin. Now people are able to arb at long odds for Jeanty.
I don't sports bet. Can you help me understand this better to satisfy my curiosity?
Good point. Travis was +5000 during/after Baylor game I remember
I just came across this post. What an insane run.
After Nub, 150/1. Preseason 60-70/1. Perfect storm for books to get killed on that market.
Sportsbooks took numerous dollars of bets for Travis to win the Heisman at long odds. Him winning the award represents a major loss for them in this market (the “who will win the 2024 Heisman Trophy?” Market).
Now that Travis is such a huge favorite, other player’s odds are now long. The issue is that, since Jeanty is the only other serious contender for the Heisman, the fact that he has long odds presents a very cool arbitrage opportunity for bettors.
An arbitrage is a scenario when you can profitably make bets on all conceivable outcomes of an event for profit.
Let me give you an example.
I have a $100 bet on Travis to win the Heisman at 50/1. If he wins, I receive $5100 back ($5000 winnings and my original stake).
Jeanty has been 20/1 to win for the last several weeks. I can now guarantee a win by betting $243 at 20/1 on Jeanty to get back $5103 ($4860 plus $243 in my stake back).
If Travis wins, I will net $4757 ($5000 less $243)
If Jeanty wins, I will net $4760 ($4860 less $100)
I’ve been sports betting for a while now but never really thought about looking at arbitrage bets. This is really helpful to have more insight into. Thanks.
The fact that CSU nearly made the championship game tells you all you need to know about the MWC
