Thask, if you don't know why anyone who bets the Super Bowl is a loser, than my friend certainly knows more than you do.
To explain, the Super Bowl is the classic precisely efficient line. Tons of money in the pool, no inside information, every minute detail priced into the line.
It also hapoens to be the last pro football game of the year, and the biggest, so it is irresistible to gambling addicts.
So the basic received wisdom of the bookmaking industry is that anyone who can pass the Super Bowl could be dangerously good and anyone who bets it doesn't understand efficient pools and is a fish.
