Once upon a time, back in the day when your pal Nasher had a full set of hair, and the T-Rex roamed Daddy Nash's backyard looking for food to graze on I was an errand boy for "Buzzy the Bookie"
The stories I can tell you about "Buzzy" the Bookie are legendary, but I'll save them for a later date.
One of the many things Buzzy taught me was that a large percentage of the 'square' betting population treat the SB game as an 'all in' event.
All in games are unicorns, you may find one on rare occasions, the Super Bowl game is not the one though.
Laying -115/-115 on +100 propositions.
The coinflip is a perfect example.
What keeps me awake at nights (it really doesn't, I'm just stretching the truth to make a point) is why would anybody lay fifteen cents on an even money proposition?
There are no 'systems' to give you an edge on the coin toss, it's a random toss.
Just because heads landed eight consecutive times, there is no guarantee tails comes up the ninth time just because tails 'are due'.
I've seen many a bankroll crippled because of the 'are due' philosophy.
I'm not telling anybody how to bet, it's your money, just be smart with it.
I just thought I'd share some of the wisdom "Buzzy" shared with me.
Good luck all, and God bless you Buzzy.
