OK, I would take that advice, it sounds informed! Play the over.
Can one also play 'the under'? Play 'the sideways'?
Does the 'over' have anything to do with being in overtime?
My GUESS is that 'playing the over' might mean betting on the team who is not favored and have been 'given points' in their odds to win the game?
No?
Well, obviously I need to lay low if at all in this thread, though maybe I can learn a little bit before I turn 100. "Play the over".... what the hail does that mean??
And yes, after this 2nd message here, I will lurk and leave it to those of you who know what each other is talking about, I promise.
