    What makes an underdog attractive?

    Is it because?



    1. They are an ugly dog?


    2. You know you are fading the public?


    3. You like to go against the grain?


    4. You like to touch the team no one touches with a 10 foot pole?


    5. It makes you feel like a genius when an underdog hits?






    What is your reason for liking underdogs?

    Because it wins more often than the odds suggest.

    6. You calculate the probability of the underdog winning to be higher than the implied probability of the odds offered.

    7. No Coincidences said it was a good play.

    Getting points with the better defense.

    Teams that win as a SU dog 2 weeks in a row and then are DD favorites.

    A ton of angles for dogs but you have to want to be on that side of the play.

    There are plenty of good reasons but... the best reason is that towards the end of the game the favorite is often times not trying to score.

    I like playing on teams that try to the end.

    However, this year has been trying with all the favorite covers.

    3 reasons underdogs are attractive
    1. Games are fixed all the time, they are usually fixed to burry the public
    2. Lines are over inflated in the publics favor, giving value to the underdog
    3. If you betting ML you get a higher payout.

    Playing at home. Home dogs are the greatest plays in gambling.
