And I was talking about the " majority of posters"

But thanks for the stats

This thread looks like slowly but surely it's turning into a "how not to manage your bankroll" thread...

Very seriously, you two newbies need to think about going straight here. You both sound like you got in over your heads this weekend and are desperate to get out from a hole so you're looking to take bad bets for the quick fix.

Almost no one on this board which is filled with both BSPs and sharps has mentioned any line in this game they feel is worth betting. That's a pretty clear indication there's no real EV+ to be found, and I shouldn't have to be the one saying that betting to try to force your way even or at least start making up a loss is a horrible, horrible idea.

Seriously, get yourself REAL help. Real help is not suggestions on which team to bet to make up for huge losses.

Wow, could you come across a little more arrogant? lol

It didn't seem arrogant to me. I thought his message was 100% spot on.

me too fwiw.
All the talk of "have to make it back tonight" etc etc is completely contrary to what we should want this forum to be about imo which mostly is discussion of +EV opportunities and methods in sports-betting.
Maybe that kind of silly talk is okay for the chatter thread though.

If the eagles cover 7.5 I win my 15 man pool for the week (vs spread) I'm going to win it with 8 correct picks so you know it was a tough week on everyone.

Waiting for someone to say this.

Umm, the majority is not on the redskins. 67% according to SI and 60% according to covers. About even on the O/U.

Skins would be the play in my book.

Where do you get those numbers from?

For the record...

I bet the Eagles and the over because it seems like everyone is on the redskins and the under.....

I guess tonight will make an interesting message board

I saw in my spam folder that Sportsbook sent me an email claiming that 75% was on the under. Is this just a ploy to get more money on the under or is this legit?

i assume covers.com or wagerline.com.

so im not betting the game, however i am trying to learn how the sharps think.

so here is what i am wondering: the line opened at 6, got bet up to 7, and then back down to 6.5. based on covers.com at 7:19pm 59.75% are on the eagles. if the odds makers thought the redskins would not cover wouldn't the line have gone up or is 59.75% not enough to warrant that since 40% or so are on the skins?

It is a ploy. They are huge on giving out false info to get squares to take the worst of it.
