Vegas Spread
Posted: Fri Feb 26, 2010 8:35 am
Ok in Football I know if Vegas knows that Az will beat the cowboys but at the same time they know theres 1 billion crazy diehard Cowboy fans that are love blinded by their team.
I heard they may still set the spread in favor of the Cowboys at a smaller rate but like +1 or +2. this will bring a billion dollars in bettors lining up to bet on the Cowboys. Once the Cards win they may have a few million to payout but the vast majority of money was made by the house.
Now in basketball do you think to an extent they do that with the Celtics, and Lakers. Because the denial rate from their fans that their team could lose has to be a factor wouldnt it?
If your going to beat the spread wouldnt you ultimately watch these teams the most?
or
Watch the least favorites in Clippers, Bucks, and Grizzlies. Then knowing that the mass majority of people bet against them because of their history>?
If your looking to beat the spread would you do it on winning/losing games or total pts scored?
