Sadly my friends, the college football weekend is over. In our never ending search for trends, we're tracking the games that weren't even close to 50/50 in public support. Last week there were 12 games which had at least 60% of the action on one side.Interestingly, NONE of this heavy support was on the side of an underdog. Bandwagon indeed!
So how did these overwhelmingly popular one sided bets do? They went 9-12. That's right. Kind of flies in the face of conventional wisdom stating oddsmakers want all the action balanced with the lines, doesn't it? It seems when bettors get all worked up into a lather, they miss. Well, so far we have a very small sample size, so we'll keep track of this for you. For now though, just finding what teams have 60%+ of public support is not the path to success.
