assuming an efficient market hypothesis for the sportsbooks...

[/ QUOTE ]so you are saying that if you assume this is an anomaly, then it follows that this must be an anomaly. brilliant!

EDIT: to add something worthwhile to thread perhaps. I doubt it was simply an anomally, though i don't have any more evidence than what has already been posted in this thread. either way though, i don't see the trend repeating itself this year.
