    Default If Whole World Is Leaning One Way Lean The Other

    Apparently if the whole world is betting one side of a game as in UNC and Memphis the proper play is max on the other side. Oh it's getting expensive being a degenerate gambler this past month.

    ESPN had a poll on who would win last night, Memphis was 59% a far cry from the whole world.

    I guess all those "sharps" just knew Memphis would blow a 9pt lead w/ 2 minutes left, their 2 best FT shooters (who went 20/23 at the line last week) would miss nearly every FT, and then still Kansas would tie the game as time ran out in regulation with a 3..

    I was a little pissed as I had Kansas +2.5 and under 77.5 2nd half. Looked like a split and then when it went into OT I had to have Kansas win by 3 or more just to get my split

    Kinda like a boat, if it is leaning to the right get on the left side.

    Thank you pokernut for your lack of intelligence by stating that obviously not everyone in the world bet on Memphis or else the line would've been -10000000000 Memphis, you probably made your bet on blackdog anyway so just send them a 500 and a 2 100's and maybe Oriental Ave. and that will cover it if you took Mem otherwise you just won St. Charles place and Reading Railroad congrats

    59% means 3/2 in favor of Memphis not hardly a lopsided game. As in your handle : Your broke so quit betting.

    60% vs. 40% is pretty lopsided but it doesn't matter as Kansas made the 9 pt comeback with 2 mins left so it could've been 99% 1% and it wouldn't make any diff. now, the truth is if a team is 60+% picked by the public to win as in Memphis, UNC, Patriots they almost always find a way to choke it off I really wish they wouldn't show those odds on the screen be4 the game cuz when I saw that for Mem I knew I they were gonna lose. As far as the broke thing I am far from it though the last month I've dropped 2k and that has been upsetting, but since picked up 5k in feb I'm not to worried about it, but I will withdraw from sports betting waiting for NFL as MLB is impossible (I might comeback for NBA playoffs as those are fun). But hey if I go broke will some shitbox CR startup give me 500 line of monopoly money to play with?
