Phoenix,

I understand your thinking that 2 out of 3 possible outcomes favor the dogs. But the thing that is missing is that there are other factors involoved. Its not like a roll of the dice that statistically any one of the numbers has the same chance of coming up.

For example, If the St. Louis Rams played a local Pop Warner team, the same 3 outcomes are possible, yet the favorite will always win. Why, because of the many other factors influenceing the outcome (skill, size, strength, etc...). The same is true in the NFL, just not to that extreme.

Just my thoughts

P.S. Keep those pictures coming. It makes a cold rainy day in Phoenix a little warmer, eh?

RR,

you are corect in adding that point. hence the reasoning behind my 'new' signature.
of coure favorite players will probably pound ST L in such a game.

i gotta at least have some winning 'pics' in my thread so no problem to that. just found a part of the site with thongs so i feel many nice 'pics' on the horizon.

lol

IT has been proven statistically that wagering on a game with 2 possible outcomes is not 50-50. In a game you are not dealing with numbers and over the long run a season 70% underdogs could cover, or vice versa.

Dogs will almost always cover a little more; usually around 51%. There will always be chalk money however, as long as sports fans continue to bet. Sports fans love to lay pts; bettors love to take them.
