    It's threads like this that people make a living off of.

    I realize that if you bet more favs you have to win at a higher rate but the betting price reflects a probability. If they play a 1000 times, DET would have to win at approximate >62% of the time to be a profitable bet. But they only play one game and that's where handicapping comes in. It's not like Verlander should have been +200 today. Just handicap the games and make your own lines and see where it falls.

    No sense in arguing it more.
    No point arguing with an idiot pal. I've given up.

    Guy thinks he knows everything, but is actually one of the more clueless gamblers on here.
