Unless you
are into all the doping news or last of the free agent signings the news right
now is a little slim for both volume and substance quality. Let’s have a little
fun. Remember what that is?
ESPN, the
big bad world wide leader in sports misinformation (the network that hired SJP)
has announced it will televise eight Grapefruit League games in March. Isn’t
that just about what you would expect from the boys in Bristol? Yet another heavy does of East Coast
bias and accolades from Peter Gammons about the unbeatable teams there, as if
we don’t get enough of that right here on the pages of Covers.
Just my humble
opinion you understand but I think the heavy concentration of population and
gambling fever of the East Coast and Sunbelt, coupled with a heavy dose of
games (MLB will do the same) will have a substantial impact on the general
publics wagering in April. The public will, as always, create its own “traps”
and jump in with all the ammunition available (bankroll).
My forecast
therefore is that the AL East and NL East will have the lowest return on
investment of all divisions versus inter-divisional competition. The public,
and the Covers Community, will buy the hype, drink the Kool-Aid, and go down in
flames versus inflated lines.
If that
should occur we will see the greatest ever explosion in “traps” and “fixed
games”, at least according to the “Covers Community”. Inside the box thinking,
agreeing with all your buddies in this forum, will never make you a dime and
may seriously deplete your bankroll.
