Advantage Sports Betting
Quote: hailtotheskinsI read something the wizard mentioned in an interview about how AP sports betting would be better to take up than card counting. What does that mean? Is it analyzing advanced metrics or just searching for the best odds or parlay cards or what have you? Any clarification would be helpful. Would like a little action this coming football season
I think your question would be best answered by searching for extensive discussions the Wizard has generated and/or participated in on this forum; there are several, referring to half-point parlay cards, proposition betting, several other angles. He's been pretty generous in discussing his methods and what to look for on spreads and points. It's a huge topic on here, though there's not a sports betting sub-forum. The search button on the dark blue menu bar above confines your searches to this site, so it shouldn't be too difficult to intercept some threads and then read them from the start. Hope you find what you're looking for!

Last season he posted his selections most weeks. So, for free, if he continues to do it, you will have money in the bank so they all say. I personally saw too many losers and losing weeks to "buy in" to the theory but whatever rocks your boat mate.
If you don't think the Wizard has an advantage on sports you're off your rocker. He doesn't claim to be a handicapper. He usually has sound logic that's usually backed up by data.Quote: NokTangLast season he posted his selections most weeks.

Data is easy as pie to produce. Past data that is. Future data? I'm all eyes/ears. I think in the long run, as someone who understands "vig" aka "juice" aka the true odds on parlays, one can only say what becomes obvious.
I'm not sure what you're getting at. Are you suggesting people can't get a long term advantage onQuote: NokTangData is easy as pie to produce. Past data that is. Future data? I'm all eyes/ears.

sports?
Yea its possible.
One name as an example
Billy Walters. He cant make a large bet in person. Sports books view him as an advantage player that they will lose money to.

sports?
Yes I am, due to the vig/juice on straight bets and odds on various cards being in the houses favor along with of course the money line representing a less than even chance of winning money in the long term.

I rest my case.Quote: NokTangAfter playing a lot of single zero roulette here in Cambodia, I think I can beat the game.

We are discussing sports wagering, not single zero roulette. This is a civil forum, no need to resort to vicious personal attacks and innuendos. If you think anyone can create an advantage vs. the sportsbooks in sports wagering, go ahead, make our day.
