4uckOffCommieScum Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 My rule of thumb is to never place a bet involving a team that I root for. Gambling requires rational thinking and fandom by nature is irrational Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4uckOffCommieScum Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Another rule of thumb, which I got from Norm MacDonald: never bet on a sport in which the ball is not round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambling requires rational thinking and fandom by nature is irrational Anytime I bet on a chicago team, whether it be a straight bet or parlay, the bet doesn’t win.

Yeah it’s just a bad idea, I tells ya. it’s better to target bets involving teams with outsized fan bases because they will get disproportionate amount of bets in their favor, resulting in more favorable lines to bet against them. Teams like Yankees, Dodgers, Cubs, Red Sox, Lakers, etc. You’ll see lines at +150 that maybe realistically should be +125 but since the volume of betting is on the other side, they can afford to be more favorable since they will be taking in on all those losers and paying out a fraction of it. Find the bets where the underdog has a favorable pitching matchup but its not really reflected in the line due to betting volumes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
