    Against the Public Plays

    These picks are solely based on the tweets from David Payne Purdum and Jason Simbal.

    I was going to play the Spurs and then just saw this. The line has gone down from -3 to -2.5, so Memphis it is.


    Most lopsided bet game of the day at @CGTechnology_ is Spurs at Grizzlies. 6.5x more bets and 19x more money is on San Antonio

    Sorry, the game already started, so I was a tad late. I will try to get them posted before the games are started in the future.

    Maybe it was for the best if the Spurs cover the game.

    I don't get it. Jason Simbal's job title is Vice President of Risk at CG Technology.

    I would think giving out information like that could hurt the books, so what gives?

    Or, is it that the public does get it right sometimes and it's enough to even out 50/50 eventually so it makes no difference to the books?

    He also tweeted how it's was a lop-sided amount of money (72%) on Bama at the majority of books in Vegas and how did that turn out?

    I can only guess that it never hurts to go against the public at ALL TIMES. It has to be better than 53% win rate doing that.

    Please don't get tricked by those flashy figures of public betting percentage..
    Bookies will never ever , I repeat NEVER EVER will let you know that figure of public betting percentage..
    Those figures are invariably fake as always expect for a few occasions when Bookies do like Joe public to know where money is bet to direct them in the direction Bookies want them to follow..
    Declared Public money percentage is all Big Farce , eyewash and a big Gimmick..

    Dude the public wins ALL the time. It is such a dumb angle and has cost me dearly over the years.

    I won't even bother posting the tweets pointing out where the public was on this weekend.

    Apparently, they were ALL wrong.

    I don't know why I bother listening to anyone instead of just going by what I know and what works.

    I would have fared quite well this weekend.

    Instead, I just decided to lay off the games this weekend and played the casino games instead and won $500+.

    I would have lost my ML parlay because Dallas didn't cover the spread and it looks like the Saints are already toast.

    It's good not having bet any games this weekend as I'm sure a lot of you were toast as well with the exception of few who saw the games the right way.
