OK Mr Balls let me tell you all I learned about O/U while I lived in Vegas gambling Professionally. Ill try to make this story as long as possible...LOL
when I got out of College I had saved up 20 grand to pursue my dream of moving to Vegas and gambling. You know young,dumb and invincible so I was going to Vegas a bust that whole city.LOL
The second day I was there I was in a bar in Cesar Palace watching an NFG game I had 300 dollars on yelling when they scored and all that Blah,Blah when this guy who with his wife had been sitting at the other end on the bar walks over to me and says Your from the South aren't you and I naturally said yes its easy to tell with this red neck accent Im carrying around and I just moved here. He says my name is Gary Austin and I have hundreds if not thousands of Southern Clients and no one in the office from the south.If you ever consider working at Sports Service I would love to talk to you. Well I knew who the hell Gary Austin was and I couldn't believe Im talking to the biggest gambler in history and he is offering me a f**king job. Damn the biggest Gambler in the world is offering this Red neck from SC a Job. I told to give me his card and I would see him at 8:00 in the Morning. This was in the 70s and long before all the Boilerrooms and scammers who turned the Sports Service business into a bad name came around.
I was there at 8 oclock and it was the best job I ever had. All his clients from the South and there were thousands of them wanted to talk to someone from the south and not someone with a New York Yankee accent and I fit the bill.He gave me my nom de guerre and Buddy Wright was born. In two years I talked to every Whale not just in the US but the whole World.I didn't just like my job I loved it.It was a dream come true for me especially when we went on winning streaks that would last for months and our clients would win millions and millions of dollars. I opened my own Sports Service several years later and because of all the contacts I had made was quite successful.
The reason Im giving you this little background bio is because I wanted you to know Im not some guy in his Mother and Daddys basement typing on the internet that he is betting 10 dimes a game.LOL
I don't know if this will help you are not but the first thing you need to know is how they figure the O/U line. The guys that set the O/U line are taking all the sores that the team has accumulated during the season. Now these are scores of home field, against winning teams, against high average scoring teams, against good defenses etc.,etc and they come up with a scoring average. say in the Penn St- Ga. game they come up with a scoring average of 18.5 which is 37 the they add 7 and you have a total of 44 O/U. Why do they add 7? Because the normal human being doesn't want to bet UNDER on a game.They rather pull for every one to score as its more exciting than pulling for no one to score. Human nature and that's why most O/U bets are OVER. The O/U line is always shaded 7 points up to give the Books a slight edge on the Over.
Now as soon as you saw an O/U of 44 a red flag should have come up for you. Why didn't they make it 65 or 68? Because the SOB don't average a score of but 18 f**king points in a game of similar or equal situations. I bet if you had known how the line was determined you would have thought about betting an OVER against two teams that don't score but 18 f**king points a game huh???? Look over the board at the O/U and see where they set the lines of 44,48.51 low O/U and damn if they didn't score 40 or 45 points or even lower.Look at the 73 O/U and see where usually those teams scored 80 or more points. why because they score a lot of f**king points bro. Here is what Im trying to get across. The lower the line the lower points those teams USUALLY score. Never bet an OVER on a low line. Yea sometimes they have a blow out but the key phrase here is sometimes..LOL If your going to bet OVER bet a high ass line like 71 or 73 and if your going to bet UNDER bet a low line like a 41. Look over the Bowl scores and I believe you will see I know what Im talking about.Low lines low scores high lines high scores. Each event is different so you don't just bet under when the line is 41 but you need to lean that way when you do your research to make your bet.
There is a whole lot of shit I would like to tell you about gambling but Ill be lucky to get this many words posted so I have made it as simple as I could. I have a feeling if I had posted this before you bet OVER 44 you wouldn't have bet it or at least thought about it more.
Remember at the beginning of the season they aren't too sporty on the O/U but as the season wears on they real sporty with that O/U line. Remember this post the next time you want to bet UNDER on a 73 point line or OVER on a 40 point line late in the season...LOL
GoodLuck
For you guys not familiar with football terms the Mike is the middle linebacker.When you see the QB pointing across the line he is usually pointing where the Mike is lining up or if a CB has moved in beside him which is showing a possible blitz.
