FFA Wagering Thread: THERE HE IS!@! (5 Viewers)

Okay, I'm confused. Price is out and the o5 is even money. :confused:

Are they expecting the Habs to go to Dean Smith's 4-corners offense to milk the clock?
Sort of. I think if Montreal got up 2-0, they'd be in complete lockdown mode. They tried this twice vs the Bruins, once it worked (game 7), adn once it didn't (game 2).

 
Over the past week, I finished a baseball model I have been working on to try to quantify different angles I look at.

Using Pinnacle lines, it has produced 151 plays (50 ML, 50 RL, 51 totals) yielding +45u. I understand that with extra vig regular books charge that is realistically more like ~35-37u. Before everyone collectively rolls their eyes, I PMed someone who posts in here my plays yesterday before they started and they went 21-5 +19u (the first five days averaged about +5u per day). If they want to verify, that's up to them. I have only played a few for real cash.

1. I know I'm not that good to beat Vegas that badly

2. The sample size is still EXTREMELY small

3. The correlation between plays is very high. I always take the RL along with the ML (the RL results have actually produced better results than the ML). For example, it had Oakland ML, Oakland RL, and Oakland o7.5 yesterday. That will produce some big swings.

4. It sucks sometimes like projecting overs in all 4 Bal/KC games that went 1-3 and weren't close.

5. Variance will kill me sooner or later. Most big favorites have won so far. It only takes a few of those losses to kill results.

I played these for 1/4u (favorites to win 1/4u, dogs each 1/4u) each on 5d overnight lines:

Angels -205, -1.5 +100, o7.5 -122

Royals -163, -1.5 +125, o8.5 -110

Tigers -101, -1.5 +155, o7.5 -105

Brewers +122, -1.5 +185 at bovada today, no total play

Nats -169, -1.5 +135, o6.5 -105

I won't be surprised when they go 2-12. It has to happen sooner or later. :shrug:

*edit: yeah, it produces a ####load of plays each night so far.

And with the Tigers bets, do you figure in stuff like them playing late last night, getting stuck in Boston, then having to travel presumably on very little sleep?

Why do we presume this? Seems like they knew they were gonna be stuck until the early afternoon, they are probably better rested than I am.

Sounds great! Just emptied the account....if these don't hit-i'll find you.

good luck! ;)

I'm gonna presume it. I've been stuck in airports. Makes you sluggish for a week.

I'm not sure they really minded based on the pics http://www.mlive.com/tigers/index.ssf/2014/05/detroit_tigers_charter_flight.html

Saw, you got an algorithm for plane delays? I know you do, don't hold out on us hoss.

"On June 2, 1988, the Atlanta Braves played the Dodgers and got stuck at LAX for several hours after the game. They lost 11-0 in Pittsburgh the following night. I remember it well because my pops had a hot date with Girl #3."

 
What kind of odds would The Mountain get against Oberyn? I gotta think he'd be around -400 or -500. Surely there would be betting on something like this.
Oberyn Martell?

lol this thread rulez
I guess a lot would depend on what weapons were available, size of arena, etc. as well.
Right

A cage match is a no brainer...make it some sort of running man arena and things get interesting.

Odds the fight goes the distance?

I think it's one of those "first guy to die" type deals, so you'd have to have an over/under on how long it lasts. 7.5 minutes, maybe?

 
Thunder lost 18 road games this season. Nine of those 18 losses were by six points or less. They lost two playoff games on the road by margins of -3 and -2. They scored 101 or more in 33 of their 47 road games.

The average line in Spurs home games this season was -9.4. They are 24-23-1 ATS at home this season. And they have only lost two home games since February (21-2 SU). The margin of victory in their L4 home games: 23,24,17,22.

They are 7-3 SU but only 2-8 ATS at home this season on two or more days of rest (avg line -8.7).

Backtest it and most importantly track it vs closing lines... If you're beating the market it's a winner

 
You golf guys have any leans for this weekend (preferably a live longshot)

In a large golf pool and no one hit last week so it carried over...3.6 racks to be split among the winner(s)

Verify they are all playing first, but that's all I got.

Unfortunately, because I import daily stats from a few sites, that's impossible. I just need to keep track of opening/closing lines going forward.

systems are always good, but never liked ones that had a ton of plays in them every day. Just too hard to keep up

 
When I looked upon the scoreboard and situation, I knew that there was a lid on the San Antonio goal during that last possession, for it was his vision.

Now THAT'S a Sawstem I can follow.
