Quote: steeldcoNice game. You needed a little excitement.
Nope, wanted money. Would prefer 21-0 score. I stayed the course and went 3 units, plus I raised my unit to $20
Quote: steeldcoTough call. The answer is always that you do what will allow you to sleep at night without worries. It's really a personal choice.
It also depends on how you are betting. As steel was asking earlier about bankroll management, that would play a part. If you are figuring a $600 bankroll and are playing $60 on today, if you take out the $250 would you still have gone $60? Me personally I am betting more aggressively than I should but I know the risks. I pulled out my original investment and are currently only playing with winnings (house money, I know I know its not really house money) and have been over betting. If steels picks cool off then I will tone it down. I had $594.24 in my account so I took out $150 and my original investment was $100. Optimal betting would probably be about $10 and aggressive would be around $25 but I have $75 on todays. If my account gets back down to $200 I will reevaluate going forward.

The Mariners were winning before you wrote this and now we're tied. Damn it! Now I have go throw the wife over my shoulder in order to break the curse!

lol well it ended well.
FWIW, cooling off could be referring from going to 60% from 68%. ;-)

Boom, I had $125 on today's game!
Quote: beerseasonBoom, I had $125 on today's game!
what did you get it at? That should pay at around $200.

Got 64 and some change at +150 and then I seen the line change to +160 and plopped down another 60. So yeah about 200$, maybe just shy.

Quote: steeldcoBaltimore vs. Tanaka. Tough. Let's hope that the league has a bit better handle on Tanaka now than it did earlier.
yeah when I saw that pick I was like, WTF kinda algorithm is he using. I would have never picked that one, but I am only 40% on the year overall so I am playing it since you are on fire.
Wins 107
Losses 105
Total Plays 212
Win rate: 50.47%
Average Return Per Winning Pick 162.58
50.47% X $162.58 = 82.06
The +130dogs are hitting at the equivalent of a 82.06% win rate on straight up picks.

So far, so good. Tanaka is tough but Tillman has been a little tougher.
Quote: steeldcoSo far, so good. Tanaka is tough but Tillman has been a little tougher.
Good news is they have probably chased Tanaka, and heart of the order up for both teams.
Since I was stuck at home today, I decided to try to pull together an NBA algorithm using money lines that would as closely as possible mimic what my MLB dogs do. Well, I got to something that I thought was close and decided to try and back test it. I've gotten thru the first 8 days of the last NBA season (awfully friggin' tedious btw) and I have gotten the following results:
10/31/2013 +200
11/1/2013 +295
11/2/2013 +120
11/3/2013 +130
11/4/2013 -200
11/5/2013 +350
11/6/2013 +365
11/7/2013 +10
If this testing continues in this manner, it's going to continue to be a helluva year....beyond baseball.

The NBA is going to be FANTASTIC! I back tested a few more days, and yes small sample size, but I gotta tell ya the algorithm correctly picked 2 huge upsets. One paying 925 and the other paying 1,100 on 100 bets. Not having played the money lines in the NBA before, I had not realized how large some dogs could be. WOW!

Last nights game was a heart breaker. They came back to tie it from 5 down in the 7th to lose it in the bottom of the 9th.

Yep. And what's even worse is that it was on a throwing error. I'd really rather not lose that way...........

Edited to remove the Baltimore pick, which was the 2nd. half of a doubleheader. The algorithm isn't able to take into account the 1st. game results and therefore I always skip any 2nd. game.
