Do sportsbooks care if you win?

Re: Do sportsbooks care if you win?

I think they want 50/50 like in football ,basketball and other sports is my guess

50% of underdogs win in football and basketball?

If that's the case then it seems you could just drop 1u on all the underdogs and score big!

I mean shit, the way I see it is that underdogs are the underdogs for a reason. . .

50% dont win but 50% of dogs cover the spread. Thats why favorites win more in fights because theres no spread.

If they made a spread for a fight then more dogs would win

Oh, okay.

Still seems like if that's true then you could just drop 1u on all the dogs and come out ahead.

No because the payouts are the same as the favorite.

They could do the samething for fights .They could make two fighters -120 each and then give the favorite a -1.5 or -0.5 round spread .Meaning the favorite would have to win on the cards 3-0 or 2-1 to win the bet.Of course I dont know how they would grade if the fight is a KO

Oh. Well fuck that then if you're not getting underdog odds.

you get points instead.

Lets say a game the spread is -7 /+7 you can bet either team with the points at -110 or you can bet the moneyline at -330/+250 but 50% of dogs on the moneyline dont win only the spread

I see. Interesting.

Yeah, the only sports I've ever bet on are MMA and boxing.
