I agree. I think this rule should be applied to religion as well. It made me think of a quote by Clarence Darrow: "I am an Agnostic; I do not pretend to know what many ignorant men are sure of."

The sharp admission is to admit a play is only sharp after it cashes. Unless, as thebestthereis says, you have some kind of inside late-breaking information that no one else knows about, which basically none of us here do.

Honestly, if you pooled a group of players and coaches together and asked them to pick a set of games ATS, I doubt many of them would do particularly well. So if they don't know, why would we?

This is not true. For instance, I was not upset to lose my bet on the 49ers in the NFC championship game, or my small ML wager on the Ravens in the same week. I felt I was on the "right" side and lost. Conversely, there have been several occasions where I knew I was on the wrong side and got a couple late turnovers to win.

Being right doesn't always mean you win in gambling. Try playing a few rounds of poker if you don't believe me.

You are never on the right side when it's a losing bet. Ever. Period. And this is coming from someone who makes a lot of excuses and sees a lot of shady bullshit. You can't cash a ticket just because you were on the "right side" of a loss, so that makes being on the "right side" completely and utterly irrelevant.

You may feel like you were on the "right side" in those two particular games, but you weren't. I was on the same two plays. They weren't the correct play, because they lost. That's all that matters.

I got better at betting sports when I admitted to myself that I didn't know shit.

Quick lesson?

Stupid fuk'in statement without any real substance to back it up. The fact of the matter is "We do know", with the variable being "if" we take the time to study and learn the games we are betting on. Gambling is nothing more than statistics and the probability of how those statistics when applied correctly, will produce the winning outcome. Professional gamblers who take the time to do the research and correctly identify common and uncommon variables on any particular game will find success at winning a vast majority of the time.

Without going into extreme detail, a simple example of an uncommon and easily exploitable variable, is injuries. Kobe Bryant got his nose broke in a game last week against the Heat. Since then, the Lakers have lost 2 straight games and have yet to cover the spread in 4, simply because Kobe got hurt, was not 100% and off his game.

Another easily identifiable "in the know" variable was Saturday's NC/NC.ST game. There was no way in hell NC was gonna cover a -9 1/2 pt spread with John Henson, a starter and ACC defensive player of the year who averages 14pts and 10 rebounds a game, out with a wrist injury. NC also subsequently lost the Sunday ACC final, which they were favored by -6. Easy money if you took a little time to do your research.

So a statement like "I don't know" being related to making you more profitable is about as ignorant as saying, "that race horse just took a healthy shit, so he'll win today because he's lighter." If you're using and thinking in terms like "I don't know", you probably shouldn't be gambling in the first place.

So if you make a bet with a buddy and he gives you heads +150 and he gets tails -150 and the flip lands on tails it's the wrong play?

Please stop making gambling related posts all you do is make yourself look dumber constantly.

Does not make sense

I do not know is a terrible answer in any line of work

The correct answer is................" I will get back to you with an answer"

Gold I think what rudy is applying is if people were more humble and honest with their approach to gambling they would have more sucess or lose less. A lot of games people don't know if they have an edge on the bet and still bet it. Just to give an example. Correct me if i'm wrong rudy.

You're doing it wrong.
If you want to be successful at this you have to realize there is being on the right side: covering the whole game, etc.
And there are rough beats: backdoor cover, bad call, etc.

If you are sharp you will lose more of the "bad beat" type of bets than you will win. You will be on the right side because you capped the game well and something unfortunate will happen.

Look at the type of people who use the whole, "only the end result matters" type of thought. In sports gambling that is not a good way to think. Sports gambling is not black and white. There are many many factors to each and every game.

If you start to think stuff is "shady" or "fixed" you may have trouble. When you start thinking like a square times start getting tough, we all know this.

I DO NOT KNOW why people on here brag about a game they are winning in the first 10 minutes of the game amd jinx it for everyone on their side. It's like playing bj at a table and the dumbass next to you hits on 16 with the dealer showing a 6 and he takes you 10 when you are on a 5-5, then you draw a 5.


I DO NOT KNOW why people have to exist.

Newsflash: Most gamblers are losing money but still wager. By that definition its fair to assume they are stupid when it comes to betting. Not shocking by any stretch of the imagination.

The worst bet I EVER made in my life was on November 26, 1989. Los Angeles Rams at New Orleans Saints. Ten of the eleven different computer systems(91%) I had excess to came up with New Orleans as the play. I had won 10 of 12 games during the day and had everything parlayed( every combination of 2, 3, and 4 teamers that could be had) to the Saints' game that night. Needless to say, I lost a little over $28,000 on what I THOUGHT was a SURE thing. Expensive lesson, but a valuable lesson nonetheless. There is no perfect system, the 'holy grail', but YES you can be on the 'right' side of a losing game. Jim Mora, the most inept coach ( just my opinion for obvious reasons) with a half time lead chose to play too conservative in the second half of that game and rely on his defense to win the game.

The fact is you can be 60, 70, 80% sure but you never "know". There are no locks.
If locks were possible, vegas would not exists.
