Stop Saying "60% Is On XXXX Therefore They Won't Cover"

Question

Why do people always say this? Why would a team lose just because 60% are backing them... People are wrong if their argument is "Because otherwise vegas lose money, and they never lose money"

You can't tell if those 40% are rich billionaires laying 40.000 each on the spread, and if the 60% are the "poor" ones laying 100 each on the spread. <--- If this was the situation, Vegas would lose more money if the 40% pick hit....

The public can, and often does go on many incredible winning runs.

To date the public % on games are 30-33 ATS, had you faded the public you'd of only broken even after the juice.

Totals 30-36, you'd have a very small profit fading the public.

Games 70% or better the public is 6-4 ATS, fading them in these higher % games produced one a losing record.

Totals, in 70% games is 9-9, again fading them produce one losing money after the juice.

The public is currently on a monster 9-3 run.

When you see a post telling you the public always lose you should know the person is making up his facts instead of looking them up................................................................................

okay you sound very uneducated on this topic.when someone says 60% of the bets are on a team , that means 60% of the total money is being bet on that team, it doesn&#x27;t mean that 60 out of a 100 people bet that team, cmon how do you not know this

I thought it was 60% of all bets that had been placed. What does that have to do with being uneducated?
