And for anyone interested, the reason I ask is that I'm struggling with a purely mathematical approach to find value in a line versus making some hard rules like "only bet fav's" or "only bet dogs."

To answer some questions, I was saying that you capped two games today. In the first game, you figure team A beats team B with a likelihood of 70%. In other words, of they played that game in 1000 alternate universes, team A would win 700 times and team B would win 300 times. And your getting a line of -135 on team A and +125 on team B.
Basically, I'm wondering if you have had more success betting fav's because the line was cheap or if you have had more success betting high paying dogs that you don't think have a very good chance of winning. Thanks for all the input! I'm really interested in what everyone thinks.

Let's lay out some assumptions: you figure team A wins 70% of the time and they are a -135 fav over team B. On a totally separate game, you figure team C wins 45% of the time, but they are paying +135. You have $200 to bet today. Do you throw it all on one or the other? $100 on both?
This forum doesn't always have to be about pick person, right? We can talk theory every now and then?

Bronx, I did read that the Indisns haven't started 5-0 since '98. So I don't know if that may be playing into the mix. Who knows, maybe the fix is in and we're just not in the loop?

Thanks for the input, tinfoils. I don't have all my data available ATM. But what I do have is Cleveland's 7 rpg to seattle's 4, Lowe's 1.98 era to Vargas' 3.44, etc. I've never seen my spreadsheet spit out a -843 suggested ML for any team before. Even if it DID fit my criteria for dropping a bet, I'd still think something's not right and probably pass.
Frankly, I've been so busy at work that I haven't placed a bet in months and, therefore, haven't followed MLB at all thus far. I just wondered if someone was hurt or ... IDK. |

Hey everyone! I've been away for a great while. I'll drop in tomorrow to catch up. But, real quick....
I have Cleveland winning at an unbelievable clip tonight. I'm (probably) not betting the game because I assume my numbers are fouled up. Please help me understand why they are a 109 dog at 5dimes? What am I missing? Thanks for your help! Just for grins, I'm showing an 89% win probability and a score of around 5-3. |

It's the game between Miami and New England. The page lists Marlon Moore (a wide receiver on IR) as the QB instead of Matt Moore. Just noticed and thought you might want to know...
Here's the exact page: Thanks for being awesome! Merry Christmas!!

Is this thread archive material? $1 to win $3300 seems unreal, but maybe I don't bet parlays enough to know.

I just noticed while going over some stats that San Diego is pretty good as a Road Favorite.
However, when I looked closer, most of their wins as road fav's came while playing on the western part of the country and most of their losses came when they traveled to the east coast. So I looked at other teams such as Seattle, San Francisco, and Arizona. And I definitely noticed that they won more as a road team when playing on the west coast; and lost more when playing on the east coast. So, does that old "west to east coast - Sunday 1:00 game" myth mean anything on Monday night? |

So, someone at the USF/Lou game just tweeted that BJ Daniels is on the field warming up. No word on if he's starting, but how could he not?
Does anyone know if Schilz will be starting for Bowling Green? I think they are an auto-bet if he is playing. |
