How about the squares who bet $5000+ a game ?
It's basic 101 of sports betting. If you continue to pick 7-10 games a week, you have to be hitting a higher % over the long run to make money, than if you pick 3 of your top plays each week.
Knowing the value of a line is also key. If the player can't see the diff of -2.5 vs -3 he is indeed a square.
Last but not least it picking winners. If you can continue to pick the winner of the games you play (no spread), you would be amazed how many time you can win without the point spread coming into play.
The way I see it .... Squares pick losers .... Sharps pick more winners.
I became a sharp today cuz my only 2 straight sides were NY Giants and Baltimore. Both Won. Both against the "so called sharp plays"
For all I know, I'll become a Square again tomorrow if my "Arizona -9.5 +100" doesnt come in.
We will see
:toast:
This is, of course, nonsense. Against -110 juice you need to hit 53+ % to make money no matter if you play 3 games a week or 10. And if you manage to do that you will obviously make a lot more money if you make more bets, assuming the unit size stays the same.
What is correct, though, (and what you probably mean) is that it will be a lot harder to hit 53+ % when playing ten games per week as it's unlikely that there are truly so many lines with value.
LOL, Good Answer !
But Not the one I was looking for :drink:
When a # looks off, it could be Many Reasons. But the Biggest one is
BALANCE
The Books will keep a # for Balance. They can get Tons of action on One side, so they put up a number that will make the Avg. Joe THINK, something is wrong.
One of the first things a Bettor will do is Look to see if anyone is Out.
But there is No Key players Out, so what gives ?? Something might be wrong here.
The Linemakers will put a Number out there, that will give Equal Action.
You have to remember, the Book wants and Makes a Lot of Money Just on the Juice Alone.
Of course there are Other Key reasons that go along with the Above.

Good points, but again basic 101 is getting equal action. I thought you were looking for something else.
But ... as mentioned above .. how much stock do you think/or know of linesmakers taking into account teasers that cross key numbers 3,7,10,14 when putting out a line ?
I would think that some considerations goes into it.
Ok, That was Today. Let's go back a week
Did you bet the Jacksonville at Cincinnati game ?
N.Y. Jets at Buffalo game ?
Detroit at Chicago game ?
Tampa Bay at Kansas City game ?
