Sorry, I don't really know. I don't gamble. I know that is probably 
wrong given that I live in Las Vegas. The most I've done is a couple 
dollars in the penny slot machines.. mostly towards the end of getting a 
feel for how they work so I can make a Linux based alternative.

I'd assume that most sports wagering is where one side, in this case the 
casinos, takes a calm geeky approach against the other than takes an 
emotional clueless guess.
