Re: Oregon Plus + 3 -1.10 over Auburn...

for those of you who think beating the closing number is the right side, for any period of time, i ask, why do so many books offer alternative lines

Re: Oregon Plus + 3 -1.10 over Auburn...

Bad example....hardly ever see something like that without injuries or weather....

I am saying that the right side is the ticket that you cash....I have been on those right sides that lose many times....

And if the game falls 4-7, then there are two right sides...
In College Football it happens every week even without injuries, bad opening lines happen everyday in every sport and so many move a ton...........

Huh? The alternate lines are derived from the current market price, with correlated payout odds. If the line moves, so does the alternate line (and all the other derivatives).

You see college basketball lines move more than this every day. But to even discuss this is to miss the point.

You're a smart guy, High Times, how can YOU not get what they're saying?

Consistently beat the closers over a very large number of plays and you'll eliminate the house edge and thus give you the edge. Just like with the books, if you've got the edge, you'll win in the long run. The trick is to make enough plays where you've got that edge and can withstand the bad runs. 99.9% of gamblers, if not more, simply don't have the time, patience, and bankroll to take this approach and win without just going out and taking a strong position on a potentially "bad" line now and then. It's still a good thing to keep in mind for the rest of us though.


I know what they are saying

You think I never laid -5 when the game went to -9?

I have made baseball bets where the game moved -60 cents!

Of course it makes you a winner.

But you need to know "Who to bet" before it MOVES.

And for me I love to "get the great openers" and I love to "Have everyone love the other side of my bets too"

That is all I have ever said. You can make good money both ways even if YOUR STATS say beating the openers is the "Best bet"

It isn't and they CAN'T prove it as NOBODY really knows why or what or whose lines are you using for your stats.

Most openers are unbetable any ways so how can you use them?

The StarDust years ago and CRIS, The Greek let only a few bettors bet these openers any ways so how can you use them in your study?

And some closing numbers are inflated because of many reasons.

I once saw an extra game college football game move 13 points! 13 points and the last 7 were only to get something on the dog. That is an IDIOT move by the sports book, but that's the way most of these Las Vegas sport books are run.

So are/is/did they include that game in their stats.

I think these STATS although they may look great. Are really nothing and in NO WAY will it help anyone win because only a few get the GREAT LINES. 12io4j2w90

I would like to think that not many people alive have made as many bets as I have in 30 years. It's a hell of a lot!

And believe me I know VALUE.

Good day

Re: Oregon Plus + 3 -1.10 over Auburn...

1 more

last year at the Hilton someone was betting huge amounts on baseball games for a couple days.

Well 1 game was -150 just about every where at books that use a 10 cent line.

The Hilton got a big bet on the dog and ACTUALLY went as low as -110~! Amazing.

Well of course I drove over to the Hilton as fast as I could and layed the -110 for as much as they would take.

I then went to the internet and bet the other side at Pinnacle and they ACTUALLY jumped to -155 right before the started and I got +147.

The point.

-110 was not an opener.

The +147 was never available, but for only a couple minutes and only at 1 book.

The other point.

Neither bet had ANY VALUE until 1 of the books went to -110.

So how does that game fit in your stats?

And I am 100% serious.

The ONLY THING THAT MATTERS is getting the best line/odds. Nothing else matters and this

Don't matter where the game opened or closed I think we all can agree that the only thing that matters is

"What line/odds did you get the bet at" and of course "did it win?"

Re: Oregon Plus + 3 -1.10 over Auburn...

If you get the best available line on any side at any point in the line's life, you're most likely going to beat the closer - so we can agree that you will win if you always get the best odds. Much easier said than done of course. To me, it's more important to consistently make good bets than to necessarily cash every bet I make. Variance is real and you won't win all the time (doing so would cost you money, anyway). But if you're making bets with the odds in your favor, you're going to come out ahead in the end. Do you think a casino manager has a meltdown if some high roller wins 200k at the roulette table? Of course not. Variance just went against him for a given series of bets, but in the long run there's no way he'll lose booking roulette bets because every bet the house takes on a roulette wheel (excluding promos/bonuses) is +EV for the casino.

We do agree on most of this.

I'm just saying most people are not going to be able to do that.

And in this game

Oregon + the 3 points looks like a great bet and

Auburn for the Auburn bettors now that they don't have to lay -3 and could lay less then -2 makes that a great bet.

Both sides bets have value, but

Only because the bookmakers of today are IDIOTS for moving their lines around so much. They give away so much value they should:+textinb3 all be embarressed.

Tim, true story 4yrs ago I was charting all of BW College basketball plays and someone put me in action with his plays I thought he would bet on, we NEVER LOSS one week doing it, something like 11 weeks in a row we win, and thats the honest the Gods truth...
 
Re: Oregon Plus + 3 -1.10 over Auburn...

tell em irisharithmetic. sports betting is such a true coin flip, all you can is do is try and maximize value by buying the best number you can on the side you believe to have an edge with, whether spread or moneyline. as soon as I started to learn more of the math side, as everything is essentially formed around math, I just try and put myself in the best position to win by getting the best number and let everything else fall into place.

it's just like playing poker, after awhile you can just deal with bad beats and move on and not be phased, losing as a 19-1 favorite doesn't get a reaction out of me. Getting +3 on a game that closes pk, and loses by 20, doesn't bother me.

If you are working at the ***** then the reason might be that the rest of the books followed you there.

You do know how many books still look the 3 main places and move off of them and not their bettors.

You know that even a game like this can move just because 1 of the 3 main books moved.

If you know who to move off of "As if no other bookie does EXACTLY what you do".

Then you can't be a good bookie!

Sorry, but that's the truth.

Re: Oregon Plus + 3 -1.10 over Auburn...

How do you know what the odds should be, HT? Magic?


I make them better then the linesmakers.

And always have, but I guess you think nobody can do that.

There are a lot of BETTORS who know what the lines/odds should be and it's always been that way.

You might not know this, but for as long as I have been in this business when the opening lines/odds come out there are many, many bettors who are there to get the BAD OPENERS.

And for as long as I have been in this business the Sports Books who open these lines DON'T have a clue the lines they use are bad.

It has always been that way and the SOLE reason most of these Books USE their SHARP Bettors to MAKE THEM MONEY.

That's how they book because it's the safest way to book if you yourself (the bookie) don't know what the lines/odds should be.

When I first entered this business I thought

The Bookmakers would be the smarter people.

BOY WAS I WRONG
