"Worst week for the books in 5 years" - NFL Week 11, NCAAF Week 12 Betting Recap

It was a "bloodbath" for the books this past week, according to Doc, the Head Linesman at Legends Sportsbook. The public sides overwhelmingly covered in both college and the NFL, leading to the worst week for the books in 5 years, according to Doc.

It was the first week all year that the public won in the NFL... Somehow this hasnt panned out for me as I was even prior to 2 weeks ago. I should have been up a ton and I wasnt.. no idea why or how

Public pretty much lost every week...dogs were hitting at a 64 % clip after week 8

In college its been 50 / 50 IMO all year

what if you had flat bet all your plays? would you be in a better spot that way? i always thought college was more of a crapshoot. you can find public play and vice versa. NFL is totally public fade it seems

Prolly was a bad week for the books because they were all getting stiffed by degenerates who cant pay there debts.

In the end the books always win. A small number of people win.
