You are clearly a lay-fan. Hope you don't have money on Lesnar. Enjoy the card!

Hey dj

Couple of questions for you.

1.  How do you find the "value" plays  -  I get the edge comparison when comparing Vegas and Provincial Lotteries.  But when playing only Vegas how do you know if you are getting an edge?

2.  What determines the % of BR you wager on each bet you make?  Strength of the play based on capping?  Edge value?

Thanks for posting your plays and sharing advice on how to make money.

1. I determine value through personal capping which is not nearly as mathematically sound or as reliable as finding edges with your provincial lottery corp...

2. The % is dependent on the edge I've determined... If I have a 5% edge, I'll bet 5% of my bankroll -- not scientific by any means but it gets the job done. If I really wanted to be in line with proper gambling techniques, I'd be using Kelly Criterion.

Those are the two I was asking about.  But the Brazil one is +1.5 for Inter.  Gotta be Milan as they're -1

I suck at football and know it... I was almost going to just pass and I only picked a soccer game because I've been hot lately with soccer, not because the pick was overly strong. Rookie mistakes... (add in that teaser to the list while we're at it). Hockey was the lone bright spot; new week tomorrow.

What do you think of taking the draw in this case?  I have been doing some record/data keeping of soccer draws accross all leagues.

With only looking at the amount for draw - last I looked was +223, the O/U of 2 -2.5 and the pk I have 48 previous matches in the range of 221-225.  The result in this case has been 23 draws and 25 that finished as one or the other team winning.

I think the Milan pk is a good play, I was wondering what led you to play this instead of the draw?

Nice man, would love to hear more about this (perhaps without the price range)... Also, did you include all totals of 2.5 and better? Or 2 & 2.5 or better? What about if you used only totals of 2 or under? That 23-25 number would be extremely profitable but I feel as if your filters are skewing it a bit.

At the moment, my draw plays are on games with totals of 2 or under and a pk spread ONLY. I then go through the leftover games that didn't get filtered out and cap those ones individually to find the best draw matchups. Hopefully your numbers can shed some light on these plays...

Anyways, I really liked Milan here in the Monday night game but didn't know if they could get it done on the road so I covered the draw just in case. Don't really have time to lay it all out but it definitely constituted a play. Gonna go watch the game now!
