Is this a wining or losing wager longterm betting both sides of the game involving Team A and Team B?

Yes or no, explain why or why not.

Sharps, refrain from answering for the first two hours.


A..........-2.5 -115
B...........+3 -110

Your beginning basis must be to know the percentage of times a -3 favorite wins the game by precisely 3 points.

Surprising that so many bettors do not know the answer to this, or think they do and are off by as much as 5% or more.

No.

25 cents is too much to pay for the amount of times that it will land on 3, resulting in one push and one tie.

CORRECT

20 cents is the max one should be willing to risk on a wager such as this...............

An NFL game with a line of 3 has anywhere from a 9.1-11.0% chance of falling on the number.......depending on whose wiseguy numbers you respect the most.
