I do not consider myself a gambler and I am not a big sports fan. I’d rather be playing sports than watching someone else play. When it comes to sports betting I am simply an investor. I learned early in life that (i) the superior team usually wins the game and (ii) the linemaker is very good at setting the number. These are key to becoming involved in this business, and it’s proof that the outcomes of games, as a whole, are not random. Unlike craps or roulette or slot machines or other casino games, the odds with sports betting are arbitrary. I also learned that the linemaker is not predicting which team will win (and by how much); rather, he is actually predicting which team the general public thinks will win, and by how much. The linemaker's job is not to predict the final score of a game, but to make sure there is an acceptable amount of action on both sides of the bet…to split public opinion.
