Re: Ned - I want to be a believer

Daily record: 1-3-1 -$219

Overall record: 1-11-1 -$1052

No plays to make at this time. There is confusion on which team to play tomorrow for baseball which I've pointed out in this thread. It doesn't matter since there's no runline up for the Cubs game anyway so I'll just sort it all out tomorrow.

Re: Ned - I want to be a believer

The Cubs look to have turned into the biggest clear ML fave for today so we'll go with:

Reds +1.5 -118, risk 118 to win 100

We are on the doorstep of the Twilight Zone. If Detroit had hit either of their last 2 shots it would have been an 0-7 day.

Daily record: 2-5 -$395.50

Overall record: 3-16-1 -$1447.50

Re: Ned - I want to be a believer

Two plays for tomorrow that we haven't covered yet:

NO/Den Under 196.5 -101, risk 101 to win 100
A's +1.5 +106, risk 100 to win 106

Re: Ned - I want to be a believer

Another crazy day for Ned's followers:

Daily record: 1-4 -$405

Overall record: 4-20-1 -$1852.50

I started with a BR of $10000 (which is the reason for $100 units, 1% of BR) but I have lost so much I may have to start adjusting my betsize soon. I'll stick with $100 for one more day and see what happens.

We have the same problem as before with figuring out who is the biggest ML fave in Baseball. Phillies and Cubs both opened at -163 at Pinn and the Cubs are now a bigger fave by 3 cents. Since they have no runline posted until tomorrow, we'll wait til then to figure it out. I'll do NBA tomorrow as well.

Re: Ned - I want to be a believer

Now its game time for the Brewers, I'll make the call for Grreen Fly, Pinnacle has Brewers as biggest dog of the day:

Brewers +1.5 -127, risk $127 to win $100

i must be slow but i still don't understand why you would be wagering on the +1 1/2....

Re: Ned - I want to be a believer

I'm not doing the wagering, it's a pick from Ned's "biggest dog on the 1 1/2 runline" system that Grreen Fly has been tracking..

i understand that bob, i just don't get using the run lines at bad lines...can't see taking +1 1/2 @ -127 more profitable over the long run versus taking the +200.

Re: Ned - I want to be a believer

i don't think he would have the answer bob, i believe you do. 12io4j2w90

Its a somewhat complicated subject, but the ML corresponding to the +1.5 @ -127 was +166. The difference in breakeven probability is 55.95% - 37.59% = 18.35%. This is also roughly the percentage that a home fav wins by exactly 1 run.

Thus they are roughly equivalent bets. If somehow you got +200 on this game, that would be a better bet than the +1.5 runline.

Re: Ned - I want to be a believer

thx, today is a good example of a "wasted wager" with the score 5-0 in the brewers favor the +165 seems to have been a more profitable play.

bob, any thoughts on the winning numbers in the powerball this week? your thoughts would be appreciated.

Re: Ned - I want to be a believer

Whoops, I didn't notice that start time on the Philly game. I would have indeed chosen that game to bet $100 so we'll include that in the record. Thanks to Comptrbob for the catch and he can feel free to add plays I may miss in the future.

Given the apparent drama exit by Ned in the other thread this experiment may soon be not much relevant anymore but we'll keep going for the time being. I don't see any plays on sides but we have all 3 games today that qualify for the Under System:

Bos/Chic Under 201.5 -101, risk 101 to win 100
SA/Dall Under 190 -102, risk 102 to win 100
LAL/Ut Under 213 -102, risk 102 to win 100

I'll figure out the NBA tomorrow. It seems like betting the Unders late has been the way to go so far anyway.

Re: Ned - I want to be a believer

Thanks Bob. I admit I've gotten a little slack in here since Ned's act is wearing a little thin on me lately. As time goes by and I realize what the Asylum is all about (non-sports related content) the fact that admin directed me over here doesn't thrill me too much either. I tried to link to my thread here in my sig and my sig privileges were removed.

But I'll plod on for the time being:

SA/Dall Under 188 -109, risk 109 to win 100
LAL/Ut Under 208.5 -105, risk 105 to win 100

Re: Ned - I want to be a believer

Play on any #1 seed favoured by 10+:

Lakers
Cleveland
Orlando

Orlando -10 +100, risk 200 to win 200

I reviewed the plays listed before and found an error that included Orlando as a #1 seed in one of Ned's systems. Thus the listed bet should have risked 150 instread of 200. This bet lost so I'll credit 50 to the net profit/loss.

Re: Ned - I want to be a believer

Nitpick: both RL bets today and tomorrow have the risk and return figures switched.

Good catch on the Orlando error earlier, not sure what I was thinking.
