This topic has already been touched on in other threads but I think it is time for a home of its own. One reason is the Golden Nugget has already released props on the game. In fact, here are some pictures of them. Click on any image for a larger version. They are partially out of order.

I'll give my recommendations tomorrow. I want to bet into them again one more time before I do (sorry for the selfishness).

Is it NFC -2.5 to win on page 1? I would think the Patriots in the AFC would be the early favorites.

Yup. Lots of sports books have that one, not just the Golden Nugget. I don't handicap, so I'm leaving that one alone.

Here is an updated list of the big bridge jumpers from weeks 1 to 10 this year. I'm listing previous years back to 2000 as a point of comparison. Surprisingly, to me at least, the rule change about the extra point after a touchdown hasn't caused I sharp increase in two point conversions.

Year Safety Overtime 2 pt Conv
2000 6.2% 5.4% 14.1%
2001 4.2% 6.9% 14.7%
2002 4.5% 9.4% 14.8%
2003 7.1% 9.7% 11.8%
2004 6.0% 5.2% 11.8%
2005 4.1% 5.3% 9.8%
2006 5.2% 4.5% 9.4%
2007 6.7% 6.0% 8.8%
2008 8.2% 5.6% 10.3%
2009 5.2% 5.6% 7.7%
2010 5.3% 7.2% 9.6%
2011 8.2% 5.6% 8.2%
2012 5.2% 8.2% 9.7%
2013 8.2% 6.1% 10.9%
2014 8.6% 4.5% 11.2%
2015 6.2% 9.6% 13.0%
Total 6.2% 6.5% 10.9%


Nothing like a chart to make trends, or the lack of them, easier to see.

You're welcome.

The overtime probability is highly correlated to a small spread, for obvious reasons. The probability of a safety is not very correlated to either spread or total. You can count on it being close to 6.2% all the time (except maybe Super Bowls). I think the ups and down in the graph are just normal variation.

The two-point conversions is what I find interesting. There is a clear pattern of dropping and then increasing. I can see why this year might be on the high end with the extra point rule change but it has been on the increase for four years now.

On another topic, here are some of the fair lines on some of the Golden Nugget props. Have at it!

Prop Golden Nugget Fair
Overtime -- NO -800 -1475
Team to score first wins -180 -180
Team to score last wins -210 -229
First score is a touchdown -160 -148
Safety -- NO -700 -1506
Two-point conversion -- NO -330 -833
Scoreless quarter 280 252
Total points odd -130 -125
Any quarter tied 105 -131
Last score is a touchdown -200 -169
Game tied after 0-0 135 138


I love any quarter tied at +105.

Why would "Game tied after 0-0" pay more than "Any quarter tied"? I would think "any tie" would happen much more often. Is it market pressure rather than actual probability?

"Any quarter tied" doesn't refer to the total points scored by the end of the quarter but only the points scored within that quarter. So, for example, if any quarter were 7-7, that bet would win, and the other quarters wouldn't matter.

Super Bowl props tend to start combing out a few days after the Conference Championship games. The Westgate (formerly LVH/Hilton) (when I can start assuming people know that?) is always first and puts out very solid lines. Whoever works there does a very good job at setting them.

I think William Hill is one of the first place to go after the Westgate. The conference Championships are on Jan 17. I think William Hill will release them around Jan 22, in time for the weekend.

I'm assuming the Wizard has already crunched some numbers on this one, but I went ahead and did it too for 2013, 2014, and through week 10 of this year. +105 looks good by this data.

I included playoffs, excluded pre-season, and obviously excluded OT periods.


Year # of Games # of Tie Quarters # of games w/ at least one tie quarter % of games w/ at least one tie quarter
2013 267 176 138 51.7%

Ah, the images showed up much larger on my iPhone.

Shortest TD - OVER 1.5 yards -110 [now that I think about it...not so sure]
Game will be tied after 0-0 : Yes +150
First Kickoff touchback - NO +150


Mind you, I'm not a "sports bettor". Just some bets that caught my eye.

No overtime is my favorite bet. 1-0 so far

Would also like to add the wizards sports bets are like free EV every year. I think I netted a 25+% return just on last years Superbowl. If you place one +EV bet only go for the wizards picks.

Lots of my props are based on field goals. I've noticed I haven't been doing too well on one of my favorites -- first score to be a touchdown. So, I decided to take a look at the average number this season (through week 10). Boy -- there have been a lot of them. See for yourself:

Year Average points Average TD's Average FG's Average Safeties
2000 41.09 4.62 2.92 0.062
2001 40.54 4.53 2.97 0.042
2002 43.72 5.01 2.89 0.045
2003 41.79 4.69 2.97 0.082
2004 43.15 4.98 2.74 0.060
2005 41.15 4.58 3.03 0.041
2006 41.51 4.62 3.04 0.052
2007 43.39 4.87 3.07 0.067
2008 43.98 4.87 3.28 0.086
2009 43.16 4.92 2.92 0.052
2010 44.21 5.02 3.05 0.053
2011 44.49 4.94 3.27 0.086
2012 45.78 5.11 3.31 0.052
2013 46.87 5.23 3.38 0.082
2014 45.27 5.07 3.22 0.086
2015 46.45 5.18 3.45 0.062
2000-2015 43.46 4.88 3.09 0.063


So, the average game this season has had 3.45 field goals. Compare this to an average of 2.94 for the seven years from 2000 to 2006.

A drawback to my prop bet calculator (of which I am very proud) is that it treats every game the same. So, before you bet a lot on props like first score is a touchdown or under 3.5 field goals, make sure you make a mental adjustment for the plethora of field goals lately.

Happy Thanksgiving.

The game has become more offense friendly, with more rules protecting QB's and receivers. Touchdowns, total scores, and field goals are all trending up. It is rare to see sub 40 pt. over/under lines nowadays.

Do your stats include the final week of the season? I wonder if you would get more accurate findings if you left out the stats from the final week, since many teams often rest their starters once playoff positions are locked in.

Yes, they include every game in the regular and post season. I assume that if a team is resting their good players it would be reflected in the spread. What I care about is the correlation on any given prop to the spread and total.

Stations has no overtime for each of the Conference Championship games:

Ariz/Car: -1200
NEP/Den: -1100

I bet both of them small. I put each fair at -1500.

Westgate has No OT and No Safety at -800 this year (for now).

Given the higher spread my thought was that the no OT bet would be an even better value this year.

I took a look at OT rates for games since 1970 with a team favored by 5, 5.5, and 6 and found that only 16 out of 320 of these games went to OT. NO OT in this case would have a fair line of -2000.

I usually make the no safety bet, but I think I'll switch to No OT this year.

I would make both. I'm holding out for at least -700 on each, but if it doesn't look like it will get there as of game day, will happily lay 8 to 1.

Safety and OT are -750 at SP, or at least were.

FWIW, a pro (a real one, not a tout) was recommending this play generically, but pointed out that the Panthers already have one intentional safety this year.

"The kind of coach who'll take an intentional safety up 30 points with 0:28 left alters the fair price."

FWIW, a pro (a real one, not a tout) was recommending this play generically, but pointed out that the Panthers already have one intentional safety this year.

"The kind of coach who'll take an intentional safety up 3 points with 0:28 left alters the fair price."



Which game was that?

Skins. Here's the video. The punter looks like a relatively agile guy.

Ugh. You hate to see that as a "no safety" bettor, even if you didn't bet it that game. What would most teams have done in that situation?

I might add that between the regular and post seasons, Carolina scored zero safeties and Denver one. I'd be interested to know the number they gave up, but can't find that statistic.

Speaking of intentional safeties, here is the Ravens one in Super Bowl 47 (I refuse to use Roman numerals for numbering Super Bowls).

Safety and OT are -750 at SP, or at least were.



Make that were. As of this morning they were both -900.

However, here are the Boyd gaming lines as of that time:

No O/T -800
No Safety -750
No 2-pt. conversion -350

Pages 1 and 2 are the same

I also noticed an error: the bet "Will there be a score in the first 6 1/2 minutes of the game?" (page 17) says, "Score exactly 6:30 left in the first quarter then Yes wins" - that should be "exactly 8:30 left in the first quarter," as 6:30 left not in the first 6 1/2 minutes of the game.

When using the wizards prop calculator should I subtract 3 points (off the spread) from the favorite because of the neutral site??

No. The neutral site is already factored into the line.

In other news, went to a Cantor book this evening. Saw nothing good.

The one prop bet I see every year where the line just seems "off" to me is the shortest TD of the game over/under 1.5 yards. Seems to me that more games by far do NOT have a TD made from the 1 yard line, so I am tempted to bet over but have no data to support my hunch.

Anyone got data on this?
