Book “Sharp Sports Betting” by Stanford Wong copy right 2000
Getting an Edge
Example: Food Poisoning
“Suppose Arizona St. is a 3 pt favorite over Wake Forest in the upcoming Aloha Bowl in San Jose. Further suppose the night before the game, 10 members of the ASU team came down with food poisoning. Obviosuly that will impact ASU’s chances of winninging the game. The way that news gets factored into spread is by the actions of bettors. If you hear the news and then find a sportsbook that still likes Wake +3, you can be a part of the process of moving the line to where it should be. If by the time you try to bet, the line is WF +1, you are too late you fukkin idiot, the food poisoning have already been factored into the line.”
