the public is always on the favs

if you believe the data you get from wagerline, 95% of the time, the public is on the fav. how could this be possible? isn't the idea to get a near 50/50 split? how does vegas make $ if this is true?

Because when they get huge volume on one game. Let's say 85% public on the Yankees one nite. Yankees are laying -200 and the Yankees get upset. The books cash hard. They make money in the long run because of this. Huge favorites don't always win. Look at Detroit last nite -300 !!

right, i guess that since were not dealing with points in mlb, then favs do win much more often than dogs. the books need to figure out how this pays.:think2:
