    Literally giftwrapping us the winner this year? For one the opening line, as well as the line move was extremely fishy.

    Now we see the line is not budging JUST AS I STATED IT WOULDN'T! Isn't this evidence that the books know Rams are going to cover? Because the way they have it now, is drawing maximum patriots action. Even the best cappers on this site like LGE and Achillies, are on the patriots side!

    How is it that no one else here seems to notice the obvious? If pats were to win and cover, wouldnt the books want as much RAMS ACTION as possible? The answer is an OBVIOUS YES! And ask yourself, what line would they make to draw some more rams action? They would have to make Rams a favorite.. OR a nice underdog. But they have done neither.

    Remember just last week the patriots were underdogs and everyone was on the Chiefs? Here is what I beleive would happen if the pats were to win and cover....Rams would be faovirtes and the line would keep going up. (as that would scare people away from playing pariots)BUT We see the opposite here.

    This is line making 101 here. Don't be shocked if Rams win this by 21+ points. There will be some people with Patriots +13 thinking they have a lock teaser play.

    Rams +2.5 is my play. I posted an official thread but looks like covers deleted it. Putting myself out there with this pick. And I am serious about this prediction

     

     

    FINAL

    Rams 41

    Pats 17

    books don't know $hit, nobody knows anything, everyone just has an opinion, that's all,  remember when Raiders opened -7 vs Tampa and was driven down to 3.5 while the media was hyping that the late money was still to come on Oakland which never did.   This game can go either way.

    i dont buy it. 

    majority of the 1.5+ billion money is gonna come in later this week. the amount that has been bet this past week will be peanuts compared to this week. 

    that percentage is slowly dropping on Pats. if you liked Pats you missed the train. i think the Rams money will be flowing soon enough
    Sip on that plus money honey!

    I must disagree. Books absolutely know far more than you and I do. They have every piece of info, stat, etc. You should never discredit reading into their lines. Sure some lines are downright wrong but that is also purposely done by the books. They do know the outcome of most games though, or they have very near flawless educated guesses

    capmaster... Are you even remotely serious with all this stuff you post across forums...paint_help

    I think you must

    a) be on a mission of constant and serious trolling

    or

    b) have the lowest iq ever

    Nope, if the Patriots are truly the right side it's still very worth taking them. That will never change.

    You people claim that books make lines based on public perception and that they try to get 50/50 on each side.

    So let's assume for a moment that these guys are correct...

    How is moving a line from 1 to 2.5 going to change where the majority of the bets go? It won't.

    So this is also a dead giveaway that rams will cover. I am serious with my pick I will be playing rams for a max play , considering my own track record of only losing one pick in the past decade for SB

     

    However yeah I have to admit to trolling too. Hahaha

    I must disagree. Books absolutely know far more than you and I do. They have every piece of info, stat, etc. You should never discredit reading into their lines. Sure some lines are downright wrong but that is also purposely done by the books. They do know the outcome of most games though, or they have very near flawless educated guesses
    Multiple games and very throughout statistical machinery which adapts to pretty much everything. Having big data of everything, a computational monster and a formula which has been perfected for decades = bookies surely knowing more than any capper can without the same tools. I will not go any deeper since i don't really care to blast about this stuff in some forum.

    Yea I think the books having so many vulnerable lines is because they're playing on the public perception and drawing them into the wrong side a lot

    A lot of people knew when Barret Robbins decided to hang out in Mexico fuking hoes and drinking himself to oblivion 3 hours before kick off on that game.

    I know my buddy and I were in Lake Tahoe at the time, and when we heard about this debacle.......we loaded up on Tampa Bay.

    I'm sorry, I also meant to say that was a key reason why the number dropped so much before the game.

    WHOA.....! WAIT A MINUTE!! (As in that movie My Cousin Vinnie)

    I guess this SB wasn't as easy as I first thought. I mean, yes it's a very easy SB to predict, but it took a bit more thinking than the 1 minute I originally put into it (Literally I put about 1 minute of capping/thought into this year's SB and made my Rams ATS pick) but now the MORE I think about this one (And watch the numerology connections like BB being 66 years of age, and Saban being 66 years of age connections) the more I see now exactly what this line is all about.

     

    So Achillies and LGE were correct, NE is the going to likely win this SB. At first I was thinking, "Well too many people know about this numerology now and when that happens the script changes or they go to plan B. There can be so many scripts to match up these patterns, not just with NE winning. And I just see how many love NE on both sides.


    However, this line goes a little deeper than I originally thought. First off, My NEW score prediction is something like 26 to 27 patriots win by 1

    Ok going to break down my read now- (OK this is a bit complex and a lot to explain on no sleep, but I will do my best) The reason it opened at Pats +1, was a test by the books to see where the action would go. I always say, (and books think like I do) If you want more action, and fool the "dumb" public who reads into lines, set the team who is going to win, as a dog. As the dumb public perception is ALWAYS for the favorite to win. So books resorted to this old tactic to open the line and see what happens. So they make Patriots the dog, hoping for more rams action (This backs up the patriots ML pick) However times are CHANGING and the public now isnt as dumb as they once were.

    Now they know dogs usually win the SB and they will easily bet Pats as a DOG, so the opening line didn't work well for them so they quickly moved it to 1.5 and 2.5 now these are VERY key numbers, because this allows them to have Patriots win the game, but STILL CLEAN UP on the super bowl, as MOST of the public will not take the Pats ML if they see only a 2.5 number they will think "Games rarely land on less than 3 pts) so they will go ATS and get burned (This theory backs up Patriots ML prediction winning by 1) Now the reason I have them winning by 1 is very simple. Because for many the line was 1.5 or 2...so they need exactly a 1 point win for Patriots in order to have the most entertaining superbowl, and at the same time, get their money in from all the Patriots ATS and Rams ML acttion. BEcause public who like Rams will also go ML on the flip side. So there you go...Rams ARENT WINNING THIS GAME!

    I WITHDRAW MY FINAL SCORE PREDICTION but NOT MY PICK Because RAMS ARE COVERING THIS GAME, they will lose by exactly 1 point.

    So now if this comes true, hopefully people will have more faith that sports is scripted. And I can't see it any other way.

    I believe I had more to explain about the line....Oh yeah! So the reason it's PRIMARLY at 2.5 and not 1.5 is because the books dont want public going NE ML.. if Joe Pub see the spread at only 1.5 they might say "well the ML is only a tiny bit more juice and so why not play it safe" but at 2.5 it's more juice so less people will take the ML. So now I have the CORRECT READ INTO THIS LINE, and the numerology strongly backs it up.

    Only way NE doesnt win is if TOO mUCH money would be lost by these corportations. (Then they will find a new script to fill) There is always a plan B)But they normally know how to prevent that by making lines.(as well as I believe they are advanced interdimensional beings) So that explains exactly this line perfectly.

    Also I should mention Pats just won as a dog so this explains why public jumped on pats as a bowl dog right away. Line didn't fool public. So they had to change this one right away 1.5 and 2.5 read above for my explanation on how these are very key numbers. But I wanted to add to that, that many books here in vegas WONT even give you a ML option is the spread is 1 or 2. So all these bettors who like Pats will go pats spread. So Rams are covering this one but not winning.

    I UNDERTHOUGHT the game before and I noticed when I hit the big parlays its because I put a TON of time into them. Thinking and thinking andf moee thinking.l Just don't OVER think it. meaning sweitch your picks at the last second.

    I've seen a computer projection that had NE winning by 1 point and it has nothing to do with the game being fixed. It's all based on the numbers. 

    You might have stumbled across the correct result but however you got there was a different reason than the game being fixed but you falsely attribute it to that.

    Still might not even happen

    NE-27

    Rams-26

    26+27=53... and isn't this Supebowl 53? So don't be surprised when you see more proof it's scripted. Numerology is a real thing. But nobody forces you to believe it. Ignorance is definitely bliss. But it's an illusion. We live in hell.

    You could convince me by being right very consistently long term or by describing how it happens in a single game in a lot of detail (more than just a score because everyone gets that right sometimes). Anything else can't really qualify as proof
