PA&lt;&lt;if you give -110 over the long-run you should come out ahead no matter how badly you take it on the chin some nights.&gt;&gt;



Say What!!</end quote></div>



Is there something you don't understand there? Given a fair line on something like over/unders in baseball, making someone else always take -110 (ie give you +110) is a winning proposition over the long-term. It similar to a coin flip - except that if I lose, I pay you $10, if you lose, you pay me $11. If you do enough of those coin flips, you WILL come out way, way ahead.</end quote></div>




There are so many things wrong with this posts its not even funny. P/A you gotta look at the true line as well, not just a blanket statemenet of letting someone else lay -110. If the game is ov 8-25 everywhere, I will lay u -110 all day long and u dont have a prayer in the long run. Alos it is a myth that BM's Balance action and take all the money on -110, u need to win decisions to make money in the biz and u need people betting u parlays and teasers to overcome the losing games.
