How Much Is Inside Information Worth?
With this whole Deflategate going on, it got me and a friend talking about how much is it worth. If you had inside info prior to a game that a team was planning on deflating their balls on a day that was forecast to be cold or raining and windy, how would you cap it and would it change how you bet the game?
The Pats obviously didn't need the edge, but on a similar game, we figured it would be worth as much as 3 maybe 4 points. In those conditions, it would help the RB's and WR's hold the ball more securely and maybe even avoid a turnover. I think I would definitely bet the game a little more than normal or if it was a no bet game for me, it would prompt me to placing a bet. I don't know if it would be worth any in dry conditions.
