If everyone is winning except the “sharp” people - wouldn’t the sharp thing to do be not playing the game knowing trends not in your favor and wait for currents to change ?
Books don’t have a choice in offering a game - they can either adjust the spread and potentially get hammered with action on the opposite side if they over react - but “
sharps” have the option to simply sit on the sideline or focus on more profitable markets when trends aren’t favorable in a certain market.
Sounds more like classic gambler excuses for being on the wrong side once again - it was the “sharp” side but the “squares” got lucky. No - you just lost.
