Well--if one side is bet on greater than the other--and that heavily bet on team wins by greater than the betting margin---then the casino or whoever will have to pay out more money than they took in--even including the VIG. If the betting is fairly equal--then they at least make money on the VIG--which is the price people pay just to place the bet.
Yes true----but usually it is a line that ends up being pretty close overall to the real outcome.The two arent mutually exclusive.
The exception is a place like Reno---where the raiders will get unrealistic odds because of the heavy homer betting on them.
I think a 6 point margin is just about righty---maybe even a bit slim. If the chargers beat us by 6 points most of us will claim that they put in a good solid effort. Chargers may be among thge top 3 teams in the league right now.
I am rooting for JP ..I think more than any Bill Ive rooted for-because he really seem to like Buffalo..buying the house in the city etc. --the anti-RJ.
Would love to see the guy here for the next 12 years.
I agree--it was a painful experience--sounded horrible--...but BECAUSE OF the nightmare acoustics in that stadium. I have seen him recently live and he and his band are awesome.
Well---another deluded person. JP has a slight chance of making it. He has had a lot of lousy games and a very few good ones....lets all get ready to get back down to earth .When we arent playing HOUSTON and when we can see a few good games in a row then lets talk.
I have little faith in JP...--but I also agree that we shouldnt take the bigtime QB with a first pick---because #1 we would have to trade picks for that high a #1...and #2 because we need to trade DOWN and get linemen linemen linemen.
Welll.. I knew him a bit back then. He F'd every chick he could even when married. He actually had a decent side to him---would visit the kids at Roswell when no one was looking--bring them footballs etc.
Problem with him--was that everyone kissed his ass since his college days--and he could get most of the women he wanted anytime etc etc.So he was never prepared for any humilty--for anything to go against him.He freaked cuz he couldnt control his wife in california and get away with pulling the same s he always got away with. He turned into a control freak sociopath.
Schobel--yeah just what we need---a guy who disappears and is a non factor for the majority of games...and wracks up 3 sacks against Houston or arizona at home.
