    I didn't want OBJ, but both McKenzie and Davis are proving to be too inconsistent...

     

    Dont we actually want Gabe to be slightly inconsistent for now? If he's not ,then we certainly will not be able to afford  him later on.

    That's often true but for the books like Circa and Fanduel that hire a lot of analytics talent, they will often have opinions and back them.  Afterall, it's fairly easy to collect customer data (especially for the online books), and if you show that almost all your sharps are backing one side and the public is on the other side ("Pros vs Joes" scenario), why not bet with the sharps?

     

    why would a shareholder allow employees of their company to start sportsbetting instead of just making massive rake steadily.

     

    This also opens up a security of funds risk for all the customers as the book could potentially go broke and not be able to payout their customers. yikes. probably doesn't happen intentionally very much. unintentionally if a big bet/bets comes in fast on one side, sure.

    I agree that's the case, but there has to be SOME semblance of who they think will win because if they are giving a team -8.5 points it's a pretty clear indication they feel that's a stronger team that people are going to be willing to bet on even if they are giving up that number of points...

     

    But the house is not trying to bet on either team they are doing this strictly to get even bets on both sides. that's what the other poster was saying.

    My god!   Looking back at that draft thread, you all were so depressed over the Allen pick.   Now we all pray to the altar of Allen.

     

    I got to say i think it was the Local Radio personalities that formed a hive mentality together and persuaded you all in B-lo that it was the wrong pick, leading up to the draft.

     

    I wasn't listening to them much and thought nothing of it and was excited based on his highlight reel and Mel Kiper having him #1 overall at one point on his big board

     

    It wasn't really a National opinion that the pick was all that bad at 7

    I mean, you can keep saying that sort of stuff. But it's not reflective of reality: https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/nfl-odds-how-much-home-field-advantage-worth-spread

     

    here's one the other way

    https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl-home-advantage-awol-oddsmakers-050154472.html

     

    recent data shows that there "shouldnt be" a big home field advantage but the lines are still set as such and the bettors still bet accordingly.

     

    I actually set lines on my own with extreme accuracy. Many of these bookmakers in your articles simply copy them. They are not setting them on their own. Again you have to talk to the three people that set the lines on the first offshore site that sets them.
