If you bet the favorite and the over are you considered a square?

[bigboydan]

I think you are

[pavyracer]

only if your bet loses

[MonkeyF0cker]

Only if there isn't an edge in such a bet...

[Bread]

Generally.

[LT Profits]

Not if the fave and Over have value.

[SexyMit]

Not if the Refs took the fave and the over

[JBC77]

The whole square / sharp thing is overated. Can a square become a sharp? Which came first...the chicken or the egg?

[mmike032]

which ever bet wins is the sharp bet

[applepicks]

Not if the fave and Over have value.

Value is not dependent on the fav or dog or the over/under it is purely on the NUMBER THAT PROVIDES VALUE. If I'm a square for betting favorites and overs when they present value then call me a square.

stick to poker and let the men do the handicapping

[MonkeyF0cker]

Like you posting a 1-4 record in the NFL this week? Is that what real men do? I'll stick to beating the poker tables and the sportsbooks. I'll let you stick to taking out multiple mortgages to pay for the roof over your head and your gambling debts.

Will that include those who took the Cowboys and the Over on the 2nd half?

Halftime lines are a whole other story sir. Those who place types of wagers are usually sharps.

All the advantage bettors probably do okay, but I cant sit there and make 80+ plays in a day. I'm not near as good at the numbers as those guys. I dont really believe in the whole square v. sharp thing just from picking a certain side consistently.
