Why are Rxers almost always on the over?

Not that I never bet the over cause I do,but I tend to like the under more often. I rarely see gamblers on the under in any game. So what's the fascination with the over?

I generally play mostly unders in the NFL, but for bases this season I am doing 90% on the oevrs and it is working for me..........Thanks alot to Arizona and Milwaukee earlier.

the saying goes...it's never under til it's over

but i see bettors on the under...maybe select and sometimes smarter bettors

sounds like you're just making a sweeping generalization.

overs you always have a chance. it can be 0-0 in the 7th innng and you never know. a team scores 4 runs in the inning and the next team does the same. if you play under and it 4-4 in the 3rd and you have under 8 you are done with no chance. and another scenerio is an exra inning game where the last guys in the pen are coming in and i chance for the visitor to have a big inning to send it over the total.

It's not just here at the Rx but everywhere, for the reasons given in this thread, why most bets are on the over and not the under. Most of the bets made on a game are from guys who want to watch the game on TV. Betting the under, they could lose their bet anytime during the game and there goes the fun of watching the game to follow their bet. An Over bet isn't lost before the end of the game.

The books know most players play the over and they adjust the over/under line to try and get more Under bets. This is very important because it means Under players have a better chance of winning whenever the line is adjusted by the books trying to get more Under money. The book is your friend when you are playing the total they need.

in many sports, public like over..but in baseball, since it's a defence-oriented game you can see many situations public on under. specially when 2 hot pitchers met each other.

baseball is the best sport to bet on over..

In NHL; If score is 0-0 and %88 of the game is played (so 6 minutes left) you can't win Over 5½ bet in a NHL game.
Same goes for NBA too. They can't score 60 points in 5 minutes.

However, in MLB when %88 of the game is played (first 8 innings)you still have a chance to cash your over since there's no clock! They can score 8-9 runs in a single inning.
