Default Re: Say you were a bookie....

[ QUOTE ]
If you bet the complete opposite of him at the same number, is there any reason to expect not to be up 2-3k at the end of the season?

Yes, the juice. The bookie has a positive expectation on each bet that the bettor places with him. However, the bookie would have a negative expectation on each bet placed elsewhere. Thus, the bookie would basically give away his edge by making the bets elsewhere.
