Bookies and sports books work to make the SPREAD OR VIGORISH. If bookies or sports books tried to "BET" on one side or the other, they would be out of business so fast because the odds are not with them.
You need to learn before you state something as fact that is 100% incorrect.  |
where am I wrong? the point of gambling is to profit 100%.
they dont hope to go 50-50. they know they gain the majority no matter what the public does. Its not based on one game at a time.
they give odds on all 16 games and make a couple look decent/realistic to the public so a few people think they are doing well.
But they give ridiculous odds on the other games and will never do worse than 70-30 in their favor. They give the over/under, total, bet on spread,bet on team,move the line 3 times = if they do 50-50 it means they failed miserably.
and the mafia wouldnt even talk to them let alone worry about them or hire them.
they know theyll lose money on one game but everyone will get raked the other 15.
Gambling is a dark art. its not something fun they want dumb ass Johnny Suburb to do well in.
I'm sorry, I just think its funny when people try to talk about gambling like its some simple process or just another business.
