What am I missing with the Oregon game? That feels like a 45 point drubbing

I bet Oregon TT O40.5. Maybe Ok St O shows up, maybe it doesn’t. But pretty confident their D sucks either way. Some concern Lanning hasn’t traveled East well consistently for a early kick

This post is not to be viewed as judgemental or condescending, strictly informative.

As someone that doesn't sports gamble, but is generally interested in business and economics, I was curious how people generally fare when it comes to wins and losses.

Is it similar to casinos where "the house always wins" and where the experience itself is part of the fun (how long can I make the money last and enjoy myself, and maybe I'll come up ahead sometimes). Aka - does the betting itself just make other games more fun and entertaining?

Not asking for ledgers of wins and losses. I just have a couple of much younger brothers that are pretty big into it and not sure if they're always honest about their performance.

As I understand it, professional gamblers have around a 55% win rate, averaged out of course. They also shy away from parlays. I too have a younger brother who understates his likely losses. He might not even know how much he’s losing overall. But he’ll tell me every time a parlay hits.

ASU - Texas A&M not a real edge but lean over and these 3 props I can’t not bet out of principle. Not a big rec like yesterdays though:

- Reed Harris is O37.5 on Bet365, 47.5 elsewhere
- Omarion Miller is O45.5 on Bet365, 54.5 elsewhere
- Isaiah Horton is O43.5 on FD, 49.5 elsewhere

Can even just middle it if you want

Reed Harris catches in the 1Q
