A lot of bettors look at the Super Bowl as Christmas for gamblers, I think it's actually more like Hanukkah, because you get 12 crazy nights to get all your action in.
Over the week I've been watching the lines and some things have stood out to me . Sharp books (like 5dimes) have the line at −3.5 and Baltimore +162 while the square books have it at −4 and +150 for Baltimore. To me this is good information. What it means is that 49er backers are betting the spread, while Baltimore fans are hitting the money line. Seems to me like these books are siphoning off these lines to get a bigger return.
My advice is to do just the opposite. If you want to back the 49ers take the money line, and if you like Baltimore bet the spread.
Me personally I'm on both sides.
I risked 5 units (not to win 5 units) on Baltimore +4
and risked 3 units on 49ers money line
If Baltimore covers I win close to 2 units
If 49ers blow them out I lose a little over 2 units
If it middles, (which I think is very possible) I win them both.
Good luck everyone, and have a Happy SuperBowl,
