It’s beginning to look a lot like…$$$
Put together for your entertainment purposes only and to help you either win cash or the office pool – we have outlined what the opening line(Op.Line) is, the game-win-probability(GWP) for the confidence picks and where you should lean and the bet type. Usually I am in Vegas at this time making a nice christmas bonus for the year on these games – now I’m taking my talents online, so enjoy and start a discussion – good luck.
LEGEND:
Op.Line = opening line
GWP = probability of who wins the game outright
TR = team rating – several factors that delineate good teams from average or worse
Lean = the type and what to bet
x = the team to bet
t = you should tease the team – (typically a teased bet allows you to move 8.5pts to include in your entire bet)
o = consider the OVER
u = consider the UNDER
Example: Team A is marked with a “xtu” – it means its a slight lean on TeamA and if you bet, include it in a teaser bet – the u means that the expectation is for the game to go UNDER the total – you could tease both the UNDER and TeamA instead of separate.
