Well, we've all had it, the dreaded Weather change after putting down your hard earned.
Even if its assumed to be in your favour the aches in the shoulders start, the bigger the bet the more the worry. After further review from upstairs, it appears its us Punters that are most put out from bad Weather.
I wont go into the stats that I wasted a couple of Hours of my highly sociable out-going life to (the Sheep seem to need more attention this time of the year) but the bottom line is, with the exception of a bit of rain, everyone acts accordingly and percentages stay the same. This reminded me of my own bets, especially the play-off game New England- Tennessee, everyone was saying, even ex-players, how the ball is like a rock and you cant kick or throw it. Right from the start, long kicks, excessive throws, drove everyone mad.
So what can be gleaned by all this rambling. Of course firstly people have to appreciate, the Books dont know anything about the Weather, thats why we waste our time on it, and even press up our perceived advantage.
The top priority should be that Weather shouldnt effect your overall reasoning on a game, similar to the French saying, "the more things change, the more they stay the same". It could in fact, be a prime time for the "Public are always wrong " gang to cash in, betting overs. The other myth is the running game is better in Rain, if so why is the average run down half a yard
There is no doubting that the Weather can play a big part in Scalping, Arbing and getting the right price, but outside of that, sleep easy,
what will happen will happen, come rain or come shine.
