In Response To: Why sports betting is brutal (Kim Lee)

Nice post.

And note. It is virtually impossible to lose at sports if you have a high competency at BETTING OPTIONS. 11/10 is largely an aberration, since there are so many ways to get around it. See a 2.0 point NFL road dog? You have the following options:

1. Tease em (use teaser resurrection to further your edge)
2. Find a good ML
3. Play 1st half +1
4. Play at a novig promo
5. Play in a 14-5 2 teamer (like laying 105/100)
6. Play action points
7. Find a good prop bet on the players or quarters, etc.
8. Find a 2 or 2.5 and buy up to 3.5 at good odds
9. Bet the +2 11/10.

Guess which bet 95% of bettors do? Guess which bet may be the worst of the 9? Honestly good sports bettors are like being able to count in the 1950s. You're looking at the way everyone is playing and shaking your head .........MY GOD! Not only do they not count, but they don't even know basic strategy EXISTS.
