A wise local once told me to track bowl games every season and I would see how the books keep the favorites/udogs and over/unders pretty much even throughout the whole bowl season.
I have tracked this for the last two years and it is a fact. This year there has been 23 bowl games so far.
Here is the breakdown....12 favorites--11 underogs
12 overs--11 unders
if you ask me they did a good job at keeping this even....this is how they make their money
again....just an FYI

Dude, the fact that you think this is anything other than an obvious statement shows that you have a very elementary understanding of gambling in general. The books try to set the lines as close as possible in order to gain equal action. This isn't a secret- it's the age-old concept of maintaining a sports book and being profitable from long-term losses that your clientele will inevitable succumb too.
Did you really think there was any other objective of a sportsbook until this "wise local" divulged this top-secret information to you? Did you think the books wanted all the dogs, or all the favorites to hit? Wouldn't a "wise local" also catch on to this trend?
You need to take a course on logic, and maybe one on statistics so you can look at this world with a realistic point of view.
This message will come off as rude, as it should, but come on man. Wake the fuck up. There are too many idiots that think they have some advantage on "the books" or "Vegas".
Do your research, it's your only chance buddy! However, based on this idiotic post, you don't stand a chance to begin with.

I'm not sure exactly what your point is, but last year in the bowl games FAV's were 20-13 ATS. Even if it comes out even this year it doesn't really prove anything. How does that help you when picking a game?
