Any math people here help me out?

Question

I hope I can write what I mean and you can comprehend what i'm saying!

A buddy of mine is a losing bettor like most of us.

He picks around 49-51%, plays about 5000 bets a year on average between all sports.

Now, is there any way I can fade his losers and make money or no because the juice will eat me alive?

If he goes 2500-2500, he loses juice and a lot of it. If I were going against his picks, I would have also lost juice.

So, it is a no win situation correct?

He plays the same amount each game, 100 dollars a bet.

Anyways, I just wanted to be sure.....

if this guy goes 800-1000. I fade him, so I now go 1000-800.

Doing a 100 dollars per pick. I win 100,000. And lose 88,000. for a profit of 12,000?

He loses 110,000 and wins 80,000, for a net loss of 30,000.

Fuckkkin juice eats the profits right up!

I cant think of a way to profit off of this unless I could get 0 juice which is impossible......

Not trying to be a wise guy but I think you need to find something that does better than 50%. With that low juice you could always run a labby line (or multiple lines), but be aware of those 10 game losing streaks.

just bet against him, be his bookie.

How? In my example above. He loses 1000 games, at 100 per game and the 10% vig, he loses 110000. He wins 80000, for a net loss of 30000. If I bet against him, I only win 12000! Not the 30000, because I cant win his "juice", im not a bookie.Example: last night, you bet dolphins for 100, you lose 110. I bet Tampa for 100, I only win 100. I dont get any "juice".Now, flip the script. Sunday, hey bet NO for 100, I bet dallas, I lose -110, he wins the 100. Only the bookies can win the juice.See what I mean now? You would need someone to win at a 30% rate which is close to impossible.

I think Bart meant to take his action and act as his bookie. You win the $30k he loses.

Bart_ · Answer

Yes. Split the vig with him.

That&#x27;s what I do.  A buddy likes to bet $10 on NFL per game.  For 15 years he&#x27;s had a $100 to bet at the start of the season.  3 times he&#x27;s done well enough to carry over that same amount to the next season, and only once have I had to pay him for his being up at the end of the year.  Already this year, he&#x27;s at half what he started.
