The goal here is to have roughly half the betting money come in on the under side and half on the over. In essence, Vegas doesn't think the betting public has a real high opinion of the Bills' upcoming season, which should be no surprise. It’s amazing how this concept cannot be grasped by so many here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Betting on a season is foolish. Sure, I feel the Bills will win 7.....as long as they remain healthy at certain positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply put, it’s that there is so much money bet by professional gamblers who look to exploit mistakes that even if the lines are initially inaccurate they quickly become accurate due to those large, unbiased bets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plenzmd1 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 BTW, i have a question for folks who have played win totals before( as mentioned I do not)..can you cash the ticket as soon as the bet hits over or the under is guaranteed? That ticket says event date 12/29/19..if the Bills have 9 wins December 14th, can the dude cash the ticket for his Christmas money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill from NYC Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 A few days ago the NY Post listed the Bills odds of winning a Super Bowl at 100 x 1. There were very few team with bigger odds. The ones I remember were the Bengals and Dolphins but there were a few more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 hmm, man the expectations on the Brownies are huge this year. I have no no clue if this works for prop bets like this, but typically outside the Pats if ya fade the public it’s a good idea . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The correct answer is that you have to wait for the end of the season, even if the bet went over. At least in Vegas. ALL of Vegas. I would assume online books are the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ol Dirty B Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I think they should cover but I don't bet the Bills. If you're a fan, like all of us here are, youre gonna be swayed by fandom. Just stay away. I have the Ravens at under 8.5. I can't see them winning 9. Their line fluctuates a decent amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerovoltz Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 the Broncos under 7.5 is free money. They have a BRUTAL schedule, and a brutal QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it was 6.5, you had to bet $170 to win $100..difference being now at 7 wins you push, paying the vig at and taking 6.5 you win at 7 wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
