Some teams don’t do so well against the point spread. This goes for bad teams as well as good teams. The spread, as you may know, is set by Vegas and offshore oddsmakers in order to handicap the game so that it attracts equal action on both sides of the bet. But several factors weigh […]
Week 11 was quite exciting. And unfortunately for the general betting public (and yours truly) the sportsbooks made out like bandits.
