Contoversial but true

If all the polls are to believed on this site and the majority of us make money why the hell do sportsbooks pay money to Rx to get us to bet with them?

I wouldn't pay money to get beaten up!

Either the sportsbooks are plain dumb or there are a lot of liers here - take your pick.

Two things......

1. The losers lose WAY MORE than the supposed winners win and.........

2. More people that win are willing to say so than losers are willing to say they are losing.

valueman,

Believe it or not, but the sportsbooks are plain dumb!
Not in a life time that I would advertise here!
Those that do are literally digging their own graves.

Surfers outnumber posters by a ratio of at least 10-1 according to our stats...

If you figured them into this equation and the fact that many gamblers don't keep accurate records regarding the exact amounts won or lost, I am sure you'd come out with a net NEGATIVE result against gamblers who bet into sports books on this site...

Fish, very concise and very true. Same holds for trading stocks.

even though one may have the knowledge of how to win at sports betting ie Money Management, shopping for lines etc etc....

Very few have the discipline to apply these rules...gambling is addictive & the need for action is overwhelming...

how many here have bet on the Hawaii games at midnite simply for more action (without even liking a side on the game)...I know that I am guilty & am still fighting the discipline monster.
