Seattle/Oakland (Game 1) U7 (-113) -$100.00 Philadelphia/Toronto U8 (-109) -$100.00 Cincinnati/Boston U8.5 (-113) $88.50 I was most confident with the PHI/TOR game, and one half inning just sent the game all Over . That half inning alone was more than enough to hand me another loss, just painful. I am sure if I bet Over, it would not have happened . Anyway, moving on... YTD 11-12 -$33.97 ROI -1.48%

At -200, you need about 66.7% chance of winning to break even. As you can guess, it has been about 66-68% every year for -200 or higher favourites; otherwise, you could have profited by blindly betting on or against them. 2012 could be one outlier with 76%. Based on SDQL, -200 or higher favourites are winning at 68.8% rate between 2008 and 2013, inclusive.

St. Louis/Chicago Cubs U8.5 (-121) -$100.00 Too bad Wainwright did not do his job. After 24 IP with no run allowed, I guess he was 'due' although I do not usually give the 'due factor' too much credit when capping. There are many other games on the board today, but it is Friday, and I will just enjoy the start of the weekend, and come back tomorrow. YTD 10-9 +$227.53 ROI 12.30%

This is similar to the argument I always make that
Profit(parlaying n games and then hedging the last leg) <= Profit (parlaying n-1 games and leaving out the last leg you would've included) I gave the equal sign there for very rare circumstances, but in most cases, only the inequality holds. Some people just do not get this idea, and get fooled by 'guaranteed money', not understanding that they would've been paid more by leaving out the last leg. Betting on a series and then hedging the last game is the same as parlaying Game 6 & 7 for the team you are going for the series wager for and then hedging the last leg (= Game 7), so my argument applies in this case too. Just bet Game 6 straight up and then decide what you want to do with Game 7. |

St. Louis/Chicago Cubs U8.5 (-121) $100 to win $82.64 The Cardinals have not fared that well against lefties this season (W-L 2-4, O-U 1-4-1). Wainwright has not allowed a single run in the past 3 starts (24 IP). Is Wainwright due for a couple of runs? Maybe. Both teams are coming off a big win against their divisional foes, and I personally feel that this match up favours Under. At the moment of writing this, the line moved down to 8 with juice on Over. As for the side, I would have taken a stab at Cubs ML, but I will just stick to the total. |
