It actually is. Do your research before you speak.
Favorites win by one run about 17% of the time, Champ.
So again, Favorites usually lose if they dont cover the RL.
Dont be so closed to education. Enlighten yourself.
Do the math...Let's just say that Favs win 50% of the time overall...
okay...so that means that when favs win, they win by only 1 run 17% of the time. So the 33% of the time they will cover the RL then right?
So you are wrong to say that if the fav. wins the game, they cover the RL...you are over-exerrating the facts...
From the scenario that was made up above....let me ask you this question....Do I not win my bet if the game happens to fall under the 33% portion? the answer is yes....just like I win my bet if I they only win the game by 1 run.
