Gambling is about situations. Picking a favorable one regarding the team you are backing is one of the many aspects of winning.
Remembering a situation that has happened before and seeing it again, can serve as the caution needed to approach a particular bet.
This past weekend the situation was that the books had been getting beat up, and all you heard all week was the gibberish about Vegas losing historically. So what comes next?
A clean house by the books where they torched the public. The Bookie Buster family went down with the ship. Remember these situations, and let the moment happen on its own when need be.
Sometimes the best bet is no bet.

Baez’s two-out homer off AJ Blubaugh (0-1), a 24-year-old right-hander making his major league debut, put the Tigers ahead 7-1. All five runs were unearned due to shortstop Jeremy Peña throwing error on Kerry Carpenter's grounder.
Riley Greene tied his career high with four hits.
Brenan Hanifee (2-0) pitched two scoreless innings in relief of Jackson Jobe, who allowed three runs, four hits and four walks in three innings. Detroit has won five of seven and nine of 13.
Blubaugh (0-1) struck out two in a 1-2-3 first and gave up seven runs — two earned — and five hits in four innings with six strikeouts and a walk.
Blubaugh was optioned back to Sugar Land after the game.
