Pros vs Joes
“Always ignore the boos, they usually come from the cheap seats.”
Pros vs Joes isn’t meant to piss you off…but it can’t guarantee you go undefeated either. It’s not meant to tell you that your bets are dead before the game was ever played just because they’re “square” or “public” (only Cubs futures fall into this subset). Rather Pros vs Joes weekly tweets are meant to inform like every other piece of content you read on twitter. They’re a glimpse into the wallet of the professional to know how he or she has approached the betting card for the weekend by beating the market and taking a position on a game. The misconception that you have to bet dogs to be sharp or avoid road favorites to think like a professional is nearly as antiquated as the original iPhone. The tweets aren’t meant to say fading the public is the only sure fire way to win betting the NFL although it’s never a bad thing to be on the other side of the masses when there’s huge volume on a game.
No, Pros vs Joes is a tool you can use to aid your handicapping when that last game on a card may or may not make the cut. To all those out there (and they’re only a handful) that choose to troll and root against sides “just because,” your ignorance shows through unless you’re in possession of a ticket on the other side. Always remember blogs and twitter give you the option to read and follow whoever you’d like…don’t read content from anyone if all it does is get your blood boiling early Sunday mornings.
Pros vs Joes aren’t even the games you bet but rather the numbers you take. Pros can move on a side +1 but what makes someone is a Joe if they bet that same game -2.5. It’s not a knock but it can be the difference between winning and losing which is why turning a profit from this pursuit is always a challenge,
Best of luck to everyone as always on this yet another busy sports weekend.
