Never Bet on a Road Fav after They've Won as a SU Road Dog

So, essentially statistically insignificant. Would this be because of excellent linemakers, or just that it doesn't really matter? It seems to me that a large percentage of these winning "trends" are going to be picked up on by the pros (as in the linemakers, not the gamblers.)

On a side note, TGoat, let's keep the vocabulary to a level to where, say, anybody within two positive standard deviations of the IQ mean can comprehend. Maybe I'm just stupid, but I can't ever remember needing a dictionary to cruise the forums before. Bromide...

Agreed. No offense goat, but I find them meaningless.

I think that's his point exactly. Winning SU as a road dog has essentially no effect on your ability to cover as a road favorite the next game.

yes i believe the title of the post is the bromide itself, not a command from tgoat.

but i still don't know what a bromide is, just using context clues here.

3. a platitude or trite saying.

Had to hit up Google in order to read the rest of the thread.

No offense but why would you put up a stat thats almost break even.

In other words TGoat is explaining that the lack of Statistical significance makes the statement....

Never Bet on a Road Fav after They've Won as a SU Road Dog.

A gamblers fallacy.
