Nah, he never takes the big underdog. That's when the books cleanup - when a huge underdog wins.

Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?
You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.
Look all you want, she can't find anyone else who treats her as bad as I do, and I keep her self esteem so low, she wouldn't think twice about going anywhere else.
A book would rather payout a bunch of dog bets in a short time than a bunch of favorites. Betting favorites is what most people do. Look at a Baylor with 3rd string Qb. Every dumbass out there took OSU and they got their ass kicked

See this is your problem. You dont understand basic math. No bookie wants to payout a bunch of underdog bets...especially when a 100 bet pays something like 1200. Bookies want a bunch of people to LOSE on the underdog bet because the prize fighter only pays out like 20 bucks per 100.
Or...bookies want to pay out very few underdog bettors. Never in any book do you want to pay out a proportionally high number of underdog bets.

You do understand the difference in payouts, right?

Let's think of it like this. 10 people want to bet on a game. The numbers are -130 and +105.
The book takes in 800 on the favorite and 200 on the underdog. If the favorite wins the book pays out the 800 plus 615=1415. If the dog wins they pay 200+210=410. So yes if the bets are 50/50 your right but if 80 percent of the bets are on favorite and only 20 percent on the underdog it's a better deal if the dog wins since only 20 percent bet on them
Were talking about the fight you specifically said the books didnt lose their ass on...which was like -1250 to +825 at open. Not some one off odds youre using just to make yourself feel better. Go ahead and do that math...
Youre solidifying your position as not having a clue. Im guessing youre just frantically googling to not be wrong....but theres no avoiding it here.
since you have no numbers on that specific fight besides some bullshit article you can't prove your point. The only people that know that is the casinos and books and they aren't gonna post it up on the net.
