Lord help me, I'm just not that bright

Fido: your illustrating that you don't really know what you're talking about here. You have to separate between the mathematical games of casinos and lotteries. They are designed to give the house a 1-2% edge and always give the owners the profit they need. I'm trying to sell someone a 100% guaranteed way to get rich. Read on if you want to learn something today.
Sports is not mathematical. The linemaker is not predicting which team will win (and by how much) when he posts a number. He is actually predicting which team the general public thinks will win, and by how much. Because sports betting is different from other forms of gambling, you can gain and keep an advantage. In sports betting, large bookmakers merely act as brokers; they have no vested interest in the outcome of the game. My 'opponent' is not the bookmaker but the player betting on the other side. |

And Lord, we are especially thankful for nuclear power, the cleanest, safest
energy source there is. Except for solar, which is just a pipe dream
