    The contest seems to have more dogs picked if they actually post games

      I mostly take dogs on the ML but it's tough sledding to be honest. Big dogs rarely hit in the four major sports.

          Chalk winning again on a Thursday in all sports which is a very common theme if you guys follow trends. Thursdays and Fridays have been a favorite betters dream the past year or two since I've been following.

            Depends on the sport for me. Take a lot of dogs in CBB and MMA, not as many as I should in baseball.

              Many ONLY take favorites. Then they act like they are doing something when they win a few. Meanwhile when they compute there total winning they see that they are still down.

              Oh well they won a few bets on over 2.

                Usually, if you keep track of your wagers, the underdogs will do much better

                  Pound good numbers. Dog or favorite.

                  try to beat the best line ever available, not just the closing line.

                  track 1000 bets and see if this industry is for you as far as professional gambling is concerned.

                          betting the favorite in the spread is square or sharp?

                            If the line based on your capping is -9 but the book offers you -5 then you bet the favorite as you have an edge.

                              You can actually win on the rare dog , but when you dont keep track and pump your chest on the seldom won wagers , you just look like a major dikk

                                exactly. because taking the points for the sake of taking the points is also square as taking the fave blindly

                                    Never really pay attention to the mix. I take whatever is good. Don't care if it's fave or dog, over or under.

                                      You haven't posted one FUKKING ticket on this site. You pump your chest when you win on a -140 pick. You are useless.

                                        Rare dog my ass. I win on dogs more then you win on -140 . You are such a clown. Remember when you were exposed years ago for lying on your picks? I do..



                                        Keep plugging away guy. You have zero clue.

                                                In soccer I bet a lot of +0.5 for plus money or +1.5 and draws too. These bets are much more profitable than betting the favorite at - numbers in three way betting.

                                                So in that sense I bet a lot of underdogs as I can cash plus money with 2 out of 3 outcomes.

                                                Betting only underdogs in NFL without also taking the points is a disaster. Yes you will win a couple dog bets in the season but most of the money is made when you take the points and the favorite doesn't cover.

                                                In NBA you got to watch for the injuries and who gets rested but if the road team is playing back to back games and they win the first game they usually rest players on 2nd game and if the home team is a dog I always bet the ML instead of taking the points.

                                                In NCAAB is a crapshoot. Anyone bet CM today to beat Michigan? 22 point favorite loses at home to a bunch of high school level players?

                                                                    Dogs are where it’s at, took me a few years to realize that. I’m winning more than I ever have in betting.
