Early Line Versus NO

[Day_One]

I like the money lines. i play the spreads most often but the moneyline  is simpler.

Two observations on betting:

1.  If someone wants to bet...take it(in other words be the bookie), since most people are losers.

2.  If you win, don't spend the money, because you won't have it when you lose it back.

its not hard.  on the moneylines its just who wins who loses.   with money line if a team is +110, that means you bet 100 to win 110.  it can also go the other way.  if a team is -130 that means you have to bet  130 to win 100.    

 

you can have a line that looks like 

Panthers - 350

Saints + 425

which means  if you bet on the panthers a $500 bet would win you $142, if you bet on the saints a $500 bet would win you $2125.  (assuming the respective teams win of course)

the thing with vegas is that you have to remember, most of the times the odds DO align with the team that most likely going to win, but the lines are set on how much money is bet on each team.  if panthers are heavily bet then they would change that -350 to -500.  if the saints are to heavily bet they would change the +425 to +350.  which is why we were dogs going into dallas. it had nothing to do with who was going to win and lose, and everything to do with the number of people betting on dallas.   

 

money line right now for this week is 

Panthers - 320

Saints + 260.  

 

And there is a way to garuntee a wash or a profit, but i wont get into that ;)
