I have seen so many people talk themselves out of winning bets on this forum because they think that the sportsbooks are laying a trap.:lolBIG:
The following is the funniest line I read at this forum that always makes me laugh.
This line looks too good, the sportsbooks are setting a trap so I am going to either not bet this game at all or I am going to take the other side.
Thats ridiculous in my mind.
Have some confidence in your ability to cap a baseball game. If you see a game where the line is off, pound it!!!!!!! It does no good to go though the trouble of capping a baseball game and finding a huge advantage only to piss it away by saying the books are setting a trap.
I am not even 100% convinced that there is a such thing as a trap.
Lets not give the linemakers more credit than they deserve folks. They are human just like you and me. The sportsbooks dont make there dough based on how good there line is. They make there money based on the fact that most people dont understand the concept of money management. They know that 50% of there customers could not have a winning season money wise if they picked 80% winners.
It is not possiable for the books to have a sharp line on every game. The books have to take a stand on every play on the board, you dont. You can cherry pick these games, they cant.
Take that advantage and run with it. Dont think these people have supernatural powers that they dont have.
The only trap is when you think there is one and there isnt one and you lay off a good bet.
