Some people fall into a trap when they think the sportsbooks are setting one.

I did not say every bet had a right and a wrong side. What I said was if someone feels strongly enough to say anyone who takes team A is dumb and should quit betting means that they should feel that the other side is a smart play. If side A is dumb, that makes side B smart.

I agree with you 100% that there are many bets that fall into the catagory that you are talking about. Im talking about someone who has a strong opinion that a certain side is dumb, that should mean that the other side is automatically smart.

You cant have a dumb bet on one side, and not have smart bet on the other.

Im not talking about plays where there is no opionion on either side.

Get the Hammer out, and therein lies the Trap :missingte

Chop,
Get this right between the eyes. Think like a Book, Chicago will probably win 3 times out of 5 so I will give -200 and see what Dopes out there havent a clue about betting. Your Good-Bad + - view is alarming considering the Herd you have following, how do you ascertain value? :drink:

I dont think you have a clue about what I am trying to say.

You are not understanding my point.

I know for a 100% fact what I am saying is true.

I didn't say that you said every bet had a right and wrong side.

You said "You cant have - value on one side and not have + value on the other. The scales are never uneven."

This is incorrect. In fact, many times one can find that both sides have - value. That doesn't mean one has no opinion, it may well be that one has an opinion, but it just isn't strong enough to justify betting.
