Northwestern (-2) for us fools that didn't play it sooner. Does this change the value much?

Glad some of you did well with these red/green higher value plays. The blue plays did not fair as well as last year but still did 7-4, or 8-4, depending on your line.
I'm worn out with some of these close covers. Mi had a chance to win SU but just couldn't finish some sacks. I will also point out that Fresno was only 1/2 point too much to qualify for a red play, so I lucked out there. And CMi should not have been a play as I noticed I made a clerical error after the bet, so that was a lucky ML gift.

Syr   W
Van  W
Tulsa  W
Stan  W
ArSt

Only Tulsa is conflicting with a system pick, but it's a blue pick. It will be interesting to see if the remaining picks do as well.

glefkb01... remember, from my first post, the blue plays were not the highest value plays, and therefore, I recommended to not play any for serious money, only red and green plays. My only real bets were for $1k each, and the 3 team parlay that paid $1.2k, and the $100 ML that paid $175. I did play some of the blue picks for like $25, but that was mostly on that second system through internet book.
I'm definitely putting a few bucks on ArSt, since that system is now 9-0. I'm going to review the rest of the bowl games to see if there is anything more to play. I did put a small play on NIl for +15, hook, because it looked like a high #...it's now half-time.

Also, as I'm trying to learn and share the nuances of this system with who's ever interested, the value of group "A" versus "B" has completely reversed this year from last year. That surprised me, but that is also the reason why I only play a team that has at least +7 value from both groups. 


NFL playoff picks coming soon.

I wasn't as fortunate as you guys on the Michigan play.  Only got it at +4.5.  Not only that, I played 3 trifecta boxes at various tracks, hit them all, and still lost money.  Just not my day.

Because  group "B" +7 net value is now 11-1 for the season, I feel confident that these 2 games should be considered.

Correction to post #109:


"Glad some of you did well with these red/green higher value plays. The blue plays did not fair as well as last year but still did 7-4, or 8-4, depending on your line."

Should read: 5-4, or 6-4 (Clemson +6, or higher).

I feel you bro. I got my play in an hour before kickoff at 4.5 Didn't think line would move back in our favor

@gratefulbets -  This system of yours is it for closing lines or best line you could find until the game starts?
i.e. gatch & clem were both plays (and won!) at one point, but ended up no plays before gametime.

glefkb01...it might have been confusing because the A group never did well, but B did. Remember, these last 2 plays are just from B group only, which has done well, but there is no guarantee!! But I like ArSt a little more because it is already a pick by my other system. 

Air1...the plays are picked by the net value criteria which is a function of the team's gross value added to the line. So whenever the line moves to the number that creates the net value of +7 (or whatever number you want to use for your criteria) then it's a play. As some lines move during the weeks of the bowls, some games, like Clemson, become a play. The point of this system is that when a game meets the threshold and you lock in your position, you have the confidence that it's a high value play. 
I don't play large bets online, only in Vega$, so once I fly r.t. to Vega$, I don't have the convenience of adding plays as the bowl lines change.

Interestingly, that was not a high value play (+7) at +4.5. Both of my A and B groups had Mi at +2, and 2 + 4.5 = +6.5, not +7. Had you bought the line to +5, you would have had the minimum +7 net value, and you would have pushed.

Congrats on a wonderful bowl season. It's been fun tailing you.

Ark St or Fla? Which of the two would you place higher value with?

Thanks.

Good Luck.
