I think we're entering a new era in sports betting. For so long it has been said-"underdogs are where the value is at." While I don't totally disagree, I think it has gone too far. It's obviously still moronic to bet the Phillies in almost any spot, but there are many value opportunities to be had with favorites. IMO there's nothing more satisfying than ripping with a -120 team that should be -160. I know this will be a case of tldr if I drag on so I'm going to give an example below and continue on throughout the thread with extended theory/discussion.
For Example(Truly not the best example since it's Yanks/Sox but it still applies imo): The Yankees are currently
-113 on Pinnacle and I know there has been some movement supporting the Red Sox but the Yankees are the play here. People need to get past the whole "home dogs are value" and Beckett and the Sox aren't getting enough respect. The bottom line is that the Yankees should be -140 here and the sportsbooks are far too scared to throw such a "favorable" price the Sox's way.
Let me hear your thoughts. Only intelligent discussion itt okay?
