Casual Ohio St fans should be ashamed

Over 5,000 hate filled comments have showed up on Ohio St kicker Jayden Fielding’s social media since last night. Fanbase should be ashamed they’re harassing one of their own, it isn’t good for the player, team, or sport. No excuse for it, touch grass. Hope the fanbase can lift up this young man in time for their next game instead of tearing him down even more.

You need to win about 59% of 50/50 bets to break even. The general public wins more like 45%.

It’s 55%

It’s not 55% anymore, lines have gotten juiced in order to make up for expensive promos. -115 is standard and can even get up to -122

That’s not true outside of live betting. Pregame it still averages to -110. The promos are basically all parlay based (sportsbooks make a killing on parlays) or such a small amount it’s a “loss leader” so you make more bets that you lose
