Why does it even matter what people are betting?

If this information was so useful you would be keeping it to yourself.

Perhaps someone can explain the logic to me.

 

[SportSavant]

the logic is as follows....

good linesmakers have an uncanny ability to predict where the money will go, remember, they do this for a living all day every day.

they can adjust the spread by a point or 2 on any particular game because they usually can tell where public money will flow....

of course their ultimate goal is to get EVEN action, HOWEVER, they are usually SHARPER than the player....

the theory is, if you go against the AVERAGE JOE.... & their 50$ bets.... over the long haul, you shouls come out ahead....

it is only a theory...

 

[DENIRO]

not totally disagree but books make money from bad money management

75% sportsgamblers will lose all their $$$ if they lose 5 games in a row

DE NIRO, you are so right. Every bettor I know has at least once increased the dollar amount of their bets when they were on a losing streak. The bookies love those bettors.
