Paver are you saying a straight "fade the public" betting style is enough to beat the books? I don't think it is. I think you will hit 52% long term that way. If it was the word would get out and the books would be out of business, or forced to adjust lines. Wait a minute that happens anyway.

No what I'm saying is the public is stupid betting 7 point road favs and 16 point home favs in the crooked NBA.

Lakers always favored by pucli.

I truly believe if the Lakers were - 10 tonight at OKC, ppl would still bet them.

books are in business because (most of them) get +110 everytime you make a bet. pretty simple mathematics there.

tltaylor89 · 03-26-10, 10:34 PM

Books give half of that money back if Duke wins

typical players talk thread- op posts reason why books are laughing all the way to the bank and most posters in thread learn nothing.

I always figured it was because if they win half their bets they make a crap load of cash.
