Bear with me....
 
I know absolutely nothing about sports betting. I have only a tiny bit of sports knowledge in general, and most of it clustered in the NBA. I am a statistics major, and that appears to be about all I've got going for me when it comes to this. I am pretty much just looking for some fun, but I think I would probably enjoy examining things from a statistical point of view as much as the actual betting.

For the following request, please assume that I am a complete idiot and need things explained to me like a child:

I don't even really know what a "line" is, let alone how to use it to your advantage. Pretty much the only term related to sports betting I know is over/under. I do not expect you to waste your time giving me definitions, etc...but I was wondering if anybody has a link to the most noobish of noob sites so I can feel *slightly* less retarded. Thanks for your help.

Brad

edit: I looked at the FAQ, but still didn't know wtf tech was talking about. As said before, I know nothing at all really.

Line shopping is the key to success... You need to find the best prices for the sides you like.
