For gods sake people, this is the dumbest thing ever. If I offered you navy -20 -120, and army +20 +100. The right side is army, unless you are roughly 13 points better then every other books no vig line. Don't care if navy covers, it would be a losing proposition in the long run.
People do overstate the fact that they were on the right side, because few people know when they truly have an edge, but to say the winning side is always right.... Don't make me go to the coin example.
