Or if the line was BYU - 4 when you made your bet, your individual bet gives Utah 4 regardless of where the spread may go after your bet was made?

    Just wondering how it works...
    What ever line you buy @ is the line of the bet. If you would have bought at the start of the week you could have gotten utah -1

      I did not realize that "Utah Man" is a square dancing song.

      For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

      Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                        Jon Wilner:

                        BYU (plus-1) at UTAH: The line has moved to BYU minus-4 due to Jordan Wynn’s season-ending shoulder injury. All signs point to BYU — and by all signs, I mean Utah’s horrendous performance last week — but that seems too simple, especially in this rivalry. Come Saturday night, Jon Hays will be the toast of SLC (the Ute part, at least). Pick: Utah.

                            Hey, this is part of a proud tradition of making the profane sacred. The tune for "Praise to the Man" started out as "Scotland the Brave." "My Country, 'tis of Thee" stole the tune from "God Save the King." We Utes are improvers!

                                To me friends on this website that show support to the Utes that represent the University of Utah, I must let you know that the fibers of my very being are telling me that the Cougars of BYU are going to win this game.
