As we all know the general public no nothing about gambling.

The 'Vegas Pro' rule is that anytime 70% or more of the money is going with one side, you should look at the other team with a view to betting them.


The last four weeks has seen this theory go 11:3 ATS


Very very early I know but only one side touching the mark so far:

San Diego 70.6%

JK , Is this for line betting or head to head in terms of laying ?
Cheers Aussie

They are still attracting 70% of ATS picks though which means that the Cowboys less the points are the shroooood choice for this match!

Green Bay 73.1%

just done it redrich, i should make a certain time per week really. not sure how they change much day to day, by the way, trialling this myself on the NBA and so far am 4-2 ATS on plus 70% and 2-1 ATS on plus 65%.

If this theory carries over to MLB as well..........maybe just maybe......we have found the GOLDEN GOOSE

bad week, 11-4 now ATS over 5 weeks

I would say Saturday night is the best time for the cut-off

Presumably the better punters will wait for late team news/weather before making their picks so best to get the selection when it's mostly the mugs who have done the picking

I do all my betting on the Wednesday cos I'm too excited to wait for Sunday!

Did a bit of work on the NBA season today in the ATS market

In all cases I have assumed that odds of 10/11 are the best available

To date there has been 106 matches where the favourite had been picked to beat the spread by 65% of punters
Backing the dog in these cases would have yielded a LOSS of 4.77pts.

Of those 106 matches, in 56 of them the favourite had been picked to beat the spread by 70% of punters
Backing the dog in these cases would have yielded a LOSS of 8.25pts.

Obviously where you selected the dog in cases of 65% but 70% you would have shown a PROFIT of 3.48pts from 50 bets but there's no real logic to this in the context we are working in.

As a small (but fairly useless unless you have the patience of Job)aside, in 3 cases the dog was favoured by 70% to beat the spread, and they did each time
