how strict should we be on where we get odds from?
like mike7002, I have TB at at -110 and -1.5(+140) which allows them to fit all criteria. I use a local book so I have no clue where the odds comes from.
What I'd like some advice on is whether this makes sense for me to play? For example, our odds are clearly different or else you'd be making the TB play right now. Since you are basing this system on your odds, should we be only making plays when your odds say to make them (since that is what the system is based on)? AKA would you advise against playing this system with any odds other than the consensus odds?
The system was built off the Sports Database historical odds, and I don't know which book they use.
That database has TB at -102 right now, but I've seen it change in the past while the game is live. The TB game does not currently show up for the system query because TB is the dog in their database.
I tend to be more strict with the picks by requiring a consensus, so the pick is basically independent of the book.
From an ROI standpoint, this system profits at 12% for away favorites, and at about 8% with away teams having a negative money line. So, it's still a profitable play at -102 as the consensus odds.
Best of luck if you decide to bet it!

One note ... if I change the query to include only Away Dogs with a negative ML, the ROI is -19% on the run line. Tonight's TB game shows up in those results.
So, Away team with negative ML looks good, but Away Dog with negative ML looks bad.

Huskers do you have any issues with the query timing out ? I seem to be getting it a bit...
Queries in general time out quite a bit after all the games are completed. I think the Sports Database refreshes overnight, and it impacts query execution.

No worries ta.
I have used SDQL a bit for NHL and never really had these timing out issues happen so frequently... first time I have used it for MLB... so was just curious.
I'll keep playing with it.

Looks like the SDQL database updated the TB odds for last night's game overnight to -107 and favorite. TB did actually become the consensus favorite heading into game time.
I also noticed that the SDQL database had the total for the BOS game at 8.0. All books I checked had 7.5 most of the afternoon and at game time. Definitely going to be some data discrepancies.
My goal on this thread, if my schedule permits, is to watch the lines up until 30 minutes before game time for games that are very close to the query parameters. Due to work schedule, it's generally hard for me to do that for afternoon and early evening games, so I'll make a decision earlier in the day. If you are following, then definitely do your own research for potential changes later in the day.
I try to put a watch list up early for those tailing the system. If it's on the watch list, and I haven't made an early decision, then most likely I'm still following the lines and will make a late call.

I don't see any potential plays today. Cardinals, Mets, Astros, Indians, Blue Jays, Nats are the only away favorites (and it looks like it'll stay that way). Without even getting to check whether the total is >= 8, the win percentages don't work out.
Cardinals (48%)/Reds (45%)
Mets (44%)/Rangers (46%)
Astros (72%)/Royals (43%)
Indians (53%)/Rockies (61%)
Blue Jays (48%)/Athletics (44%)
Nationals (64%)/Dodgers (59%)
