General EXACTLY, thats why I don't bet the NBA anymore. Way too many refs on the take, that any blind fool can see are fixing the games.
I have a hard enough time picking winners without having to worry about what those fools are betting.
JJ when everyone has access to the same numbers they become meaningless. It is all in the interpretation or in the case of the NBA whomever the refs have bet.
But in a vaccuum if you give guys the same power rating and they are typical bettors theywill all pick the same side. Simply because the info is all the same.
I hate conformity when it comes to information. Or I should say I hate it when people use it that I don't want to see get taken for a ride. Obviously if I like the opposite side that the "information" picks I get the best of it. So is a catch-22 I guess.
