None of the reasons Daliman mentioned other than difficulty in handicapping has anything to do with anything. Every spread bet is either win/lose.

Not true. You can figure that a speed team in baseball is going to do better in a big park, and you can figure a power running team is going to do better in a 10 degree game in a blizzard, but you can't figure that Norm Duke isn't going to be able to handle an odd oil pattern better than a house pro who may have oiled the lanes himself. It all matters, and the minutia of figuring out all these small details wouldn't be worth the minimal betting handle.
Also, as stated before, the variance is too high on a game-by-game basis to handicap anywhere NEAR accurately. I could beat a top pro in almost any given game.
