I can't be any LESS slick than saying it's more than fine NOT to lay a big ML (even if it's a good mathematical bet) if that style of betting doesn't suit you.
Simple MATH says laying -900 when the odds are 16/1 is a good bet. Notice that no one is trying to make the case otherwise.
The idea that it's only "a sample of one" doesn't matter -- winning sports betting = accumulating as many edges as possible.
Laying -900 can be dangerous if you don't understand HOW MUCH of your bankroll to bet ... but Fezzik was very specific that the play was to win only a 1/2 unit.
Regarding the buying picks comment ... I am SO PROUD that our Pros are striving to teach how to accumulate edges (literally the only way to win). -900 favs are not for everyone. And most likely Fezz won't lay that much lumber till the NEXT Super Bowl. But that pick was just 1 of 7 star-rated props from Fezzik. Anyone who skipped laying -900 still received a ton of star-rated props insight
Not every one will want to bet like a Pro in every way. But our goal is to teach you how to approach sports betting that way - allowing each person to make the decision about how far toward a professional approach they want to go. No approach wins all the time - but what I am CERTAIN of is that many more people are reading this and saying - "yeah, that's the way I want to learn to bet." If so, Pregame is the best place to be. And Fezzik is one of the best IN THE WORLD.
Even the causal bettors who have no desire to be a Pro - who prefers to make spread bets only - can take strong comfort in knowing whatever Pregame approach they chooses to follow is based upon the big picture goal of accumulating winning edges.
And for those who prefer the comfort of pick sellers who approach handicapping the same old unsuccessful way - who claim winning is easy and fire on a curiously high ratio of TV games - there are many sites to choose from.
