What an ugly loss by Tampa bay on the -1.5 spread. Overtime and TB probably wins by 3.

Yes that will lose the bet for me right there.


On Thursday night I lose on the last play of the game with Indy and now today I lose on the 4th down touchdown and missed extra point. I have no shot at winning now, How many games can I lose by 1/2 point or 1 point?

Tampa Bay closed -1 pretty much everywhere. And yet there are those who will continue to argue that beating the closer doesn't matter. Just had to get that in

And that is a rough way to lose - much much worse than the Thursday night Colts game (which also opened 2 and closed 3-).

It looks like you'll be going 1-2 today.

Here's how it'll go. He'll try a couple more picks for a couple more days. If he gets closer to winning it, he'll continue. If he gets closer to losing, he'll be stalling this whole thing out.

Irish Timmy,


The line that Kinger makes me choose was the strict -110 line which was -1.5 at least until 10 minutes before kickoff when I stopped looking at 5dimes. And the Colts was a tougher beat especially since i had them at -2.5 on 3 bets. Had this game gone to OT then maybe i would not have won, but the Colts was a real bad beat. Why couldnt that extra point have been missed?


Kinger, not going to stall at all. But only going to use the NFL pretty much. It appears that I do best on those picks. My New Orleans pick today in NBA really sucked. But there is no stalling at all. The idea of this contest was that it would take around 50 days since that is 1 pick per day. I will be done way before that I believe

Colts might have been a worse loss for you because you had more money on them, but I think TB was certainly a "bad beat" while the Colts backers were just unlucky.

Not too sure what you're asking, but I basically ignore it and expect that the good and bad "beats" even out and I'm left with the original edge I calculated. The antidote to randomness of course is to just try to play as many games as I can where I have a (perceived) edge to minimize the effects of randomness.

If you're talking about when measuring variables in a model or something along these lines, I like to get three standard deviations worth of statistical significance, but will settle for two (~95% certainty) if something makes logical sense to me. Variance - a fancy word to account for short-term randomness - is simply (standard deviation) ^2.

yeah, i was basically wondering if you calculate anything for bad beats or good beats or if they even out too so you dont even mess with them.

Let me know kinger if you will let me take them after the 1st period if the score is still tied and I will.

If the NYG and MIN are tied after three quarters, HoundDrowner, maybe Kinger will let you play the 4Q at MIN +4

You are a fucking idiot. i was going to take it at the END of the first period if he wanted it. The line will still be around +100 for Atlanta at the end of the first had the score still been 0-0. BUt of course you would not understand such a concept either

Also, if an underdog is tied after 1 period of a hockey game, don't you think there odds of winning increases when compared to being tied 0-0 before the game started? I would expect a gambling professional like yourself to know this.

It would seem to me that you're more likely to suffer from a mental disorder since you can't ever remember something you're told. When your mom made you move to Texas because you wouldn't stop eating the chocolate and lemon snow, did it click in your mind that you are special?
