The Average

I always wonder how the oddsmakers come up with their numbers. They seem to be on target in most cases.

People think they can come up with a method to win their bets. I looked at the average amount of points scored in a Patriots game last season by both teams.

Their games averaged 42.5 points.  What does this really mean? One game was a 45-0 win by the Pats.

If you took the over in that one, it was a winning bet.
