Gambling myth — “fade the public”

Over the long run, you will lose doing this.

I watch this most weeks

without screens it's a blind 60% winner this year.

Historically- the public is wrong.

That’s raw numbers over thousands of games.

Short term - anyone can hit a few winners in a row. Wasn’t too long ago books were getting killed on NFL week in and week out fading the year public.

Taking a side only because 65%+ of the bettors are on the other side IS a recipe for disaster. Do your homework, be prepared and don’t blindly bet ANYTHING. Gambling 101 lessons there.

Nobody even knows who the public is on. It’s all a bunch of bullshit fancy term sharps and public There’s no such thing either person.

Sharps don’t gamble they make money

I only consider it as supporting evidence when it aligns with and strengthens my primary reasons for liking a side. It’s a useful resource IMO, but never the main driver.

There is no edge. The line is the great equalizer. Public opinion only factors in on the line, not the game.

So you’re telling who average Joe bets on has zero influence on the outcome of a sports game? Shocker
