WILL BETTING LINES BE AFFECTED BY NO FANS IN STANDS?

VEGAS MAKES WOEFUL REDSKINS 3RD PICK

So, what if sports do come back in the fall and nobody shows up?

Of course, that was Dr. Anthony Fauci’s suggestion as a way to ease back from the pandemic pause.

The big question is how will the players react to empty stadiums?

The bigger question is:

How will no fans affect the line!

Take away the element of a crowd and many bettors will be inclined to take a dog. Or do you now take the favorite?

Bankrolls will be lowered in comparison to previous years because in a worst case, the season comes to a screeching halt like it did with the NBA, because COVID-19 makes a second appearance.

From a sportsbook’s perspective, they may hate no crowds. This could be a season where the sports bettor can actually beat the book. One thing to consider: kickers are no longer for losers. The potential is there for them to nail more extra points and field goals because the added pressure of a live audience is no longer there. Teams can cover and games may play out just as the stats predict.
