There's a method to Vegas' preseason prognostication madness

GumboBC · 06-25-2004, 12:11 AM

Many threads ago we discussed an article written by Mike Detillier about the preseason predictions made by the odds-makers in Vegas. Mike Detillier would like us to believe that the Vegas experts are some kind of geniuses. Well, I tried to explain how the Vegas experts have no more of a clue than most knowledgeable football fans. But, I don't know how much sense I made or if I even got my point across.

WhoDat seems to want to convice us that the Vegas experts are geniuses too. But, really, that's not the case and I found this interesting article written by Dr. Z that explains how Vegas really makes their money on NFL games.

I'm not going to post any of the article, it's too long. Just click on the link and read it if you're interested in finding out how it really works.

Especially you, WhoDat. You need to read it twice. LMAO.
