Odd/Even

[Slanina]

I was looking through all the prop bets and you can bet on odd/even total of any game. But the weird thing is that the line is -161 for an odd final score. +120 for an even final score on every single game. Is there some reason behind this? Most games tally ends at odd? I'd think it be -110 for both. And the games that have an over/under of 10 are still +120 for even total. Wouldn't the book be betting against itself if the line was predicted correctly? Just found it interesting.

There are more chances of an odd total, starting with a 1-0 game.

I figured the 1-0 score. Bet on bad pitcher dual and it'll erase that possibility lol. Just thought it wouldn't be that much of a discrepancy between the two. Although, every single 1 run game would be a loss. Starting to make sense to me.

It makes sense. Looking at 2008 only, 1451 games (59%) fell on an odd number and 1009 games (41%) landed on even.

Haha, nice. Where the heck did you find those stats?
