Pats never deserved to be such big favorites. It was all based on the mystique and the early season. Last couple months there wasn't much separating these teams.

I don't buy it. Squares laid heavy on Pats as usual. Sure, there were some squares betting Giants +325. But for the most part the sharps cleaned up tonight.

There are lots of situations where a long odds on shot looks value on Paper especially when comparing to the Spread price but the only people who should be betting them are punters with big banks and nerves of Steel. For the average Punter confidence is everything and losing Two or Three heavy Favourite Bets can spell diasater, personally unless its in a live betting situation I dont go over -110 I think anything over -120 will put you on the back foot in a hurry. :drink:

-400 is great value when the true math dictated it should have been -650. Value is KEY word. Obviously no value in a single losing play, but over the long run very profitable

How could you possibly know true math dictated it should have been -650?

True math? what does that mean? If a guy runs his #s comes up with -650 and the line is -450 there is value, if his #s are profitable over the long haul. I guess the right play should have been giants -145 since that this the correct # after the fact?:ohno:

I have no idea where these people get their #s from. yeah, after the fact it is easy to know the "true value"

I think it is almost never a wise thing to lay -400....especially in a high profile game like a superbowl....anything is possible....how many times do we have to get burned to learn this?

I honestly don't know what's normal, but -400 when the spread is 12.5 seems low. (And, no, I didn't play the Pats).

I am not agreeing. I very rarely if ever bet -400 plays but that is because I haven't figured out a way to do it profitable. I am sure some have. Look at the board tonight, I would take fresno -500. I think there is value in that # just based on the positive buyback #.:nopityA:

this is where I think people are seeing "true value"

but in this case, looks like the true value was in the +12.5....

meaning the -400 wasn't too low, but the +12.5 was too high....there is your "true value"
