Why Do Sportsbooks Even Offer Over/Unders on All-Star Games?

[Vegas Dave]

No matter how completely ridiculous they set the number, it goes Over, every single time.

Every single one is a square's dream come true.

Check your stats if you think it goes over "every single time".

What was the O/U tonight?

 

[SoV]

271

First half Over hit with a garbage layup.

I believe that the past few have gone under.

Indeed, I'm obviously exaggerating.

But this season:

NHL O/U 16.5 - 21 goals scored
NFL O/U 64.5 - 90 points scored
NBA O/U 271 - 291 points scored

I mean none have even been in the fucking ballpark.

For hockey (nhl) I go over every single year if my book is offering it. This is a very good question though, to me it makes no sense. You know its all about offense and putting on a show.

I have no idea what the the stats say, but if the squares won betting the over I dont think the books care, the squares will piss it away on CBB play this week.

Pinny had 10k limits on the total, I doubt it was that easy

It's not about winning every battle, it's about winning the war. Sometimes a nice win for the public leads to a fantastic week for the house.

And I don't doubt that Pinny knows a million times better than I do.

Pretty sure they haven't been happy this year, though.

And what brought you to this conclusion? No citing that ass clown millman.
