What things have you noticed with Bookmakers that they do not want punters to know?
First things first a bookmaker will always honey pot the punter as they know that we tend play the numbers {odds}
Secondly I don't think their is a formula other than the head to head records and team\player form which we could use to bash the bookie
there is something called mathematics of bookmaking and psychology of bookmaking.
both math and psychology have a big impact to trick a lot of common people in sportsbetting. that is what i found about the theory behind bookmakers. mostly people fall into it, no wonder the bookmakers always have profit in the long run.
With math, I guess gamblers are more smarter since we can focus in one game only and we can analyze it with the data we have, but bookmakers has to set different lines in different games. Their biggest advantage is they lured us to think we are right, they master psychology over math and that is the reason why we fail even if we are too confident with our analysis base on the statistics.
