The Fading the Downtown Crackhead Syndicate thread

This is an idea that I came up with years ago, but that I never actually officially tried. As many people here know, I used to be a ticket writer in downtown Las Vegas. During that time, I discovered that the average sports bettor downtown is horrible. Not just horrible, but incapable of winning if they had tomorrow's newspaper bad. (That's got to be a misprint. They couldn't have won)
So, for my personal amusement, I have decided to start this thread. Here is the gist. Whenever I am downtown, I will find the squarest bettor I can and ask them for their best pick of the day. Then I will bet the other side at the best price I can.
Today's pick:
Ball State -21
The write-up given to me: "I bet Ball State because I just think they're like a lot better than Central Michigan."
The fade:
I bet $550 on Central Michigan. Was tempted to scoop up some +13 on the first half, but I can always double down on the second half.

Thanks Benny
Today:
Baylor -15
the write-up: "I bet Baylor because they have a run and shoot offense, and they score A LOT of points."
"Ok...and why else do you like them?"
"That's it. They score A LOT of points."
"You don't think that's factored into the line already?"
"Not really. Trust me, they will score A LOT of points tonight."
I bet Oklahoma +15 1/2
that's good for a quality laugh man... thanks BP.
