#72Never. Why risk $700 to win a measly $100? I saw alot of people risking -400 on the Pats for the SB. We saw how that turned out. Just this weekend in soccer, Man United lost as a -450 favourite to Man City, a +1050 Dog.
No game is a lock, so you have to find value in lines. You will be much better off if you can find value.
just my 2c.Comment -

So, there can't be value in a game priced at -700?Comment -

Individual results are irrelevant.
If you put down $10,000 on red at the roulette table and it hits, it was still a -EV bet.Comment -

OK, so then if there is never an edge at -700, wouldn't betting the underdog on that game then frequently have an edge?
Or, are the bookmakers 100% accurate?
No one is telling you to go bet all -700's. You need to find edges wherever they exist, whether at +200 or -10000.Comment -

#89I dont' like to bet MLB at odds worse than -170. I dont like to give up more than about 15 points in NCAAB. I don't like to give up more than about 10 points in NFL.Comment -

#91Most would not lay -1000 . No way. If you need to keep your money flowing , I don't see a problem with a -700 every once in a while in spots but I don't see anyone laying -700 all the time!Comment -

#92Each unit wagered this year for me is worth $250. On my NFL supernova lock of the moment I lay down 15 units. On any other bet that is over 2.8 units will be at or over the 700 mark.Comment -

#94Georgetown -900 last night was a retarded bet. GTOWN lives in 50 point games which means the opposing team has a very good chance at keeping the game close. GTOWN is overrated this year. Villanova always plays them tight.
To bet 900 to win 100 is stupid, especially in basketball, especially in NBA basketball.Comment -

#96What 31 point favorite in the history of gambling was -900 money line?
I just came on this forum the other day and I'm really not impressed with the comments and questions of many people on here.
Covers and wagerline destroy this site.

#97None. My point is that if you handicap a game that you feel has a 95%chance of winning, then laying 9-1 is not a bad deal. Normally I wouldn't lay that much wood, but sometimes it makes sense.Comment -
