They dont point gun on your head ask you to choose one team.
You are free to choose. if you think it was rigged on team A favour, then pick team A.. whats the problem...
tats why it called gambling.. win or lose decided by urself.. and ur luck
nothing to do with vegas, bookie or god... even if they can rigged all game.

EG.
99% is on ORLANDO but the total placement... let say extreme... $1,000 and the 1% is on MIAMI but placed a total of $1,000,000.
for some they would say the public is on ORL that's why they chose MIAMI but at the end of the day. WHO DO YOU THINK VEGAS WOULD LET THE TEAM WIN? |

Vegas/Bookie/watever u call it, they take main profit from spread.
Says 1000 unit was bet on 1 single game. 600 unit on team A , 400 unit on team B, and spread is 8%, then they get on hand the advantage of 400 units crossed over = 400 x 8% = 32 unit.
the rest 200 units they let it roll,
so bookie will go in the game with win : lose ratio of 232 : 200 = 1.16 : 1 , or 16% edge.
if you can get 16% edge on every bet (or called it 54:46 winning ratio) , no surprise you'll win money on long run, some safer bookie will even dump out this 200 units to other bigger bookie and just take the 32 units.
so they actually no need to hell care who win who lose.
and it is not so easy to rig a game, so many factors from refree, coaches, players, audience, and other bookies, you have to get them all to 100% control the game, except you believe all those guys there playing a drama-game for you.
why we most of player losing money in long run, is because we keep losing money on spread. you win 51 time lose 49 time, believe me you still losing money, because of spread.

Strongly agree with you on the logic. Still you have to wonder why with games that are obviously TEAM A should win, loses. But hey... what you say is true. |

Not sure where you get your info moslo, you are making stuff up or someone is lying to you. The golden rule for books is to get even action and let the vig return consistent profits. If a book is too heavy on one side it is called "being exposed." If they wanted to be heavy on a side they wouldn't call it being exposed. |
