My guess is about 98% of American bettors are suckers.

70% were on Denver per the books.

But I dont think it is just the general public.

The general public doesnt sit in a sportsbook waiting for the SB line the second it comes out. Thats the wiseguys. They are the ones that pounded the broncos moving the lines from Seattle -2.5 to Denv -2.5. So the money that came in right away was not general public money.

Look, everybody loses sometimes. I certainly do.

But this line was wrong from the start. Then when everybody pounded Denver it with the wrong line it made me more confident. Cuz the public is stupid!!!!

The line was correct from start. It was Seattle -2.5

Those who pounded denver +2.5 in the first 30 minutes were wrong.

Actually, the public really isn't stupid. That's what makes it so difficult to win.

I didn't even bet on the game's outcome. Made 20 $5 prop bets. Went 10-10 to lose a whopping $1.82.

Nevada sportsbooks won $19.7M from the $119M wagered statewide, holding 16.5% (casinos earned 16.5 cents per $1 wagered)

My guess is that had 70% of the people felt that the Seahawks would win, Nas would have went with the Broncos.
