BWE-
You are saying something I've thought for the past few years. Books have the game figured out.
Dime is correct, they'd rather see the sharps lose and squares win on plays, because they know the squares will always find a way to lose, mainly thorugh money management diffenciency.
Irn.

What's the record of dogs to favorites this year? Anyone know?
Has there ever been an NFL season where the favorites covered by 57% or more?
If what you are saying is true, you better have your money with solid shops because if what you are saying is true...that the squares are not losing in the NFL...some of these shops could run into trouble. Most of the squares will lose it back before they order a payout. But more than usual will be getting payouts if they are really winning in the NFL.
I think what you are saying is true about squares and favorites. My buddy calls me all the time when he zeros his off shore accounts. It never fails, he is always picking favorites in the NFL. Went to a bar yesterday and watched the end of the Chargers game. Everyone in the place was bitching and moaning because everyone had the chargers minus the points. Just talking to a few people, I don't think I noticed anyone who had money on a dog. And all of them were going with the Colts tonight.

Didnt have a good day yesterday. Tonights game, is going to kill me, I cant see how its only a -4 game. EVERYONE and their brother is going to load up on the Colts, its almost a helpless feeling knowing i have to hang the game tonight.
The line will get driven up a little bit more prolly. You are giving too much credit to the Colts... and to little to the Patriots. Remember Brady can still put up points on the board.

Agreed. Can you say "Need Action"
Tough call on whether to start inflating favorites. As soon as you do, the dogs will have a big week and you will want to throw yourself out of a window. The adage is "trust in the #". Sooner or later it should turn. You can however move a little quicker off your action. A season such as this demonstrates why a book needs proper funding and needs to book to their bankroll. This keeps them from getting hurt to bad. Also a BM has to know, that there is no certain profit in short term.
This phenomena has been going on for quite some time now on the European football. It is what you call 'fighting for the favourites'. I know one degenerate favourite backer that bets with me and during the past two weeks won 11 bets in a row. Guy still owes me money, but is out of the settlement area. Question is when we will see the first casualties!

Tempting to start taking every dog on the NFL card from here on out and hope for the apology. Problem is, betting on "due" can kill you quicker than anything.

Wouldn't advocate that.
Favs/dogs can go on some crazy runs.
Another 2-3 weeks of chalk wouldn't shock me that much.:hung

be versitle change with the times
this is why squares will always lose in the end
when squares win ex. $10-$10-$10-$10= +$40
when squares lose ex. $10-$20-$30-$60=-$120
squares cant handle 3-4 game losing streak and everyone goes through thousands of 4 game losing/winning streaks
squares can easily go broke winning 60% of their bets in certain times

Someimtes sharps always look to take dogs, taking dogs only doesnt make a sharp. I have seen several go with 4-5 dogs every weekend taking teams playing bad at home just becuase their at home and getting a couple points. Seem like the real sharps do bust back at the books when the books are being kind with the small fav lines. Of course seattle -4 looked to easy this weekend, but because a game looks too easy isnt a reason to take another team. Their has to also be something behind the play
