    Anyone else here addicted to favorites?
    I know crazyl has never seen a -600 tennis match he didn't like even though a 1 point break in a tiebreak usually decides those things but is there anyone else here who just can't bet the dogs. For some reason I can't pull the trigger on a +200 dog in baseball, everytime I do they play like expected dog shit and get shutout while their pitcher walks half the batters he faces and serves up cupcakes to the other half.

    I honestly think there is something about betting a favorite that you are going to have more wins that forces ppl to bet on them, with an underdog you win only a 1/3 of the time to break even so you experience twice as many losses as wins even when you push, with favorites it's the opposite you get to experience a win twice as often as a loss but for the same result, any1 else pretty much a favorites only bettor?

    you exactly what books want. To beat them you will have to break this. I too was like you when I started. Like I'd see Phx Suns -500 and go o shit I have to take this theres no WAY they will lose. Guess what you lose in the long run and thats how the books make money. If you want to make the money then you gotta break that habit.

            JJ is right, when I started betting I was the same way.

              Avoid big favorites for long term success.
