That’s correct. From what I’ve read during my research on the over/under market, experts often say that the over is usually the public’s favorite pick. That’s why bookies tend to set the line in a way that makes the over look more attractive but in reality, it’s often a trap, and the game ends up going under.
Sorry, but which expert said that? can you provide at least a publication/article related to this?
I'm a long time sportsbook person, my sportsbook journey started in 2016 which means I've been there for almost 10 years. However, I was once a beginner too. When I first started out looking at the O/U options, I tended to go with U. This has a basis, as a beginner I want to bet more safely, because from the start of the match, we (the bettors) have won the bet even though we never know what the final result will be.
