I'm new to the sports betting stuff, but I'm sure there are a lot of people betting large amounts of money reading this message board, so that's cool. The question that I'm wondering about now is that are the books really right 50% of the time?
If I looked at the last 3 years of NFL on the game line, does the favorite win 50% and the underdog win 50% with the added points? Naturally, I wouldn't think that they could break it down that precisely, and it's all calculated by computers down to the .1%.
Me, personally, I want to win a lot of money, but I wouldn't reasonably think I can, but I will try to anyway. Just wondering if a good bookmaker would really be at like 50.1% or 49.9% on his NFL point spread over an extended period. Not even sure if this makes total sense, but maybe you get the gist of it, so I would appreciate any comments to my example or original question that I asked. Thanks.
