whats wrong with going with the public
i saw someone posted "the public was all over that pick so i was a little weary"
why should someone be hesitant when the public is betting on them alot?
Because the public sucks at betting sports. This is how the sportsbooks get rich.
welcome to SBR and good luck
always go with your own instinct win or lose
Just be weary of public bets in which the line moves the other way. But other than that the public wins too so don't get too mixed up in it.
Joe Public is a loser in the long run. Betting "against the grain" stacks the paper in this business.
Fade the public some times, like he said, when line moves the other way.
Hello,
Because they loose
Absolutely nothing, if they win!
The public tends to win approx 47-48% of the time ATS on sides for example.
Just like the Pats at home?Originally Posted by eyeball

There are tons of spots where the public wins, my advice, 'cap the game and if the number you get is to your liking, bet it, don't get too hung up on percentage of money bet on one side etc. etc.
Remember there are tons of squares here and everywhere that think they are sharp, but are not.
You mean like the Pats at home versus NY?!? Not only did Joe Public lose they got crushed on all the square teasers too. If you're gonna gonna go square proceed with caution
80% on Ville @ Providence and loses outright! Joe Public loses his shirt there. Be very wary of 75%+ square bets where the line goes the other way like this one did.
It's called ASSES of the MASSES.............
That was the exception, not the rule, correct me if I am wrong, but weren't the Pats 6-2 this season versus the number, and we all know the 'squares' love NE at home.You mean like the Pats at home versus NY?!?

Pick your spots, but squares do win, and sharps do lose.
