women's championship today 3:00 p.m.

under 160.5 - I counted S.C. going 32- 4 under that total - their last 2 games the totals were 137 and 128_______very tough D

probably quite a bit of nervousness or tension that may affect shooting negatively

S.C. is the dominant pick

this is one bet divided into 5 smaller bets - each bet one fifth of usual amount

S.C. on the moneyline -278 4 times for a win if they don't cover

and one time on the spread -6.5

look for the great Raven Johnson of S.C. to get even_________________glta

Game starts at 12pm
WTF
This game deserves prime time
I'm not a big Caitlin fan
But
I can't stand that SC coach
Light her up Caitlin . She gets hot early, look out
Caitlin ain't much of a looker but that team has some hot looking girls
Go Iowa

Clark did not have a good game in the semifinal so hopefully she will be on fire for this game.

Obviously as an Iowa alum I will be rooting for them but I expect USC to win the game.

USC's height and rebounding is killing Iowa. The fact that Iowa has missed at least 5 layups makes it amazing that they are only down by 3 at halftime.

tomorrow night -

one bet - one unit divided up as such:

80% on UConn on the moneyline -275___________a smallish win if they don't cover

20% on UConn -6.5__________if they do cover the bet as a whole will profit by a little bit less than 1/2

can't see anything I like on the o/u

one bet - one unit divided as such - NHL

60% Tampa Bay Lightning over Blue Jackets - -330_____________smallish loss of about 10% of total bet if win but fail to cover

40% Lighting -1.5 Puck Line - 128 (fanduel)___________the bet as a whole will return slightly less than 1/2 if they cover

edit - the above math is incorrect - sorry about that

if the Lightning win but fail to cover the loss will be slightly over 20% of the total bet amount - sorry about that

the calculation if they do cover is correct

I just made my first ever golf bet.

$5 on Gary Woodland to win $1255. Sounds like a sure thing.

250-1 seems like a fair price on an ex Major winner who hadn’t been playing very well.

If I was in NY I’d be betting on Scheffler in all the promos.

It's so sweet to hit on who shoots the first three-pointer ... $50 paying on a +380 bet and you know why I would make such a bet

I keep thinking I have to expect to put more money into my bankroll if I want to keep making $50 bets, in order to deal with the ups and downs. But ever since I started making these 'first three-pointer' bets I've been lucky. Prior to it, my luck was distinctly bad at DK. Nice timing for the change!

You get that, DK? Lucky is the story here.

Gotcha. I try and make bets that have an edge over the bookies. But the vast majority of the time they rely on some sort of promotion being offered. I’ve detailed a few inefficiencies that ‘I think’ have given me an advantage as well. My ‘Knicks over’ rebounds for specific players is an example I’ve given

the only time I've thought I could sustain an edge over the oddsmaker by just being better at it has been live betting, with a great reliance on fleeting unguaranteed opportunities having to do with delayed odds-change reaction by the site. This includes some things I didn't explore further. The time you have to devote to it is too much. I'd have to tell the wife I'm approaching it like a job ... and, ya know, we are retired

not to mention having to face the disappointment of being totally wrong about something being +EV, a distinct possibility

There are a variety of conditions and items related to value betting. That's why I ask. There must be several pro and AP in sports here
Some of the tips to analyze are:
1)pick which bookies to register
2)measure the size of each beat due to the edge, odds and to remain below the radar
3)identify the false value bets
4)decide which bets are the best . For instance odds from 1.10 to 2. Or 2 to 5. No matter the edge
5) play only high edge bets no matter the odd
6)doble check pur sources to be certain there is an edge
7)play few bets against playing them all
8)syndicate playing

And other 10 other tips

Tiger is currently 150-1 at Hard Rock.

My pick of Gary Woodland at 250-1 is now 5000-1, so they are still saying he has a chance.

one pick divided as such:

Edmonton tonight over Arizona - 290________80% of bet for a tiny win if they win but fail to cover

Edmonton on the Puck Line -1.5 -112 with the other 20% of the bet__________if they cover the win is about 45% of the total amount bet

Edmonton still has a shot at catching Vancouver for the top spot in the Pacific Division

this will be Arizona's 4th game in a row on the road - that has to be tough

he's been very tough so far this season - 11 innings pitched - given up 3 earned runs
thru his career he has a winning record and 4.12 - era - pretty tough I would say - not great
thru last season and this season he's 9-3 giving up less than 3.5 earned runs - by that calculation the bet has an edge but you never know - no guarantees of course
you can see all his stats at the link

have been kind of mediocre or a little worse than mediocre with my picks

gonna try and improve by focusing on proposition bets where I think there is a better chance of finding mispricings

today Nets at 6ers - Tobias Harris over 13.5 points -105 - (draftkings)

he's averaging 17 for the year - he's been over that total in the last 10 games and over 21-5 in the last 26 games

the last time the 6ers played the Nets Harris had 18


try one more for today - Pistons vs. Spurs - Jalen Duren over 5.5 rebounds -125

he's gone over that total 30-4 in his last 34 games

one of yesterday's picks - Jalen Duren didn't play - any bets don't count - no action

today - Twins at Orioles -

Manuel Margot under 1.5 hits __________-195

he's gone under that total 11 of 12 times this season and 18 of his last 22 at bats last season

the Orioles starting pitcher is mediocre - the Orioles bullpen is very tough

This is a ‘do or die’ game. De’Aaron Fox most likely will play more minutes than a ‘regular’ game.

Hachimura might get less minutes than usual if Davis/James get more than their usual. No saving the stars for ‘the next game’.

That being said, I’m going to parlay your picks.

in the playoffs last year for the Kings - 7 games against the Warriors - Fox was under 3.5 threes 5 times out of 7
but of course, anything could happen___________that's why they call it gambling__________:}
Fox had 44 on the Lakers on 3/6 and only got 2 threes - reason for hope

I'm curious if you don't mind my asking - I know you like parlays - have you ever compared how you would be doing if you just made straight bets instead of parlays__?
if you lose one bet of a 3 bet parlay all is lost whereas if you bet straight you would have a nice profit
how does the vig in a parlay compare with the vig in just one bet_______?_________don't they up the juice______?_________I dunno - I'm not sure
thanks for any info

I guess it's all a matter of personal preference
for some - I guess - betting without parlays is just too boring - takes too long to get ahead by a lot

Hachimura might get less minutes than usual if Davis/James get more than their usual. No saving the stars for ‘the next game’.



I believe the Lakers are guaranteed at least two games.

in the playoffs last year for the Kings - 7 games against the Warriors - Fox was under 3.5 threes 5 times out of 7
but of course, anything could happen___________that's why they call it gambling__________:}
Fox had 44 on the Lakers on 3/6 and only got 2 threes - reason for hope

I'm curious if you don't mind my asking - I know you like parlays - have you ever compared how you would be doing if you just made straight bets instead of parlays__?
if you lose one bet of a 3 bet parlay all is lost whereas if you bet straight you would have a nice profit
how does the vig in a parlay compare with the vig in just one bet_______?_________don't they up the juice______?_________I dunno - I'm not sure
thanks for any info

I guess it's all a matter of personal preference
for some - I guess - betting without parlays is just too boring - takes too long to get ahead by a lot

I don’t ‘like’ doing parlays. I do them when the boosts/free bets/etc.. make them +EV. Or when I’m doing them strictly for fun like your two picks today. I had a free bet so gave up a dollar or two in EV to ‘join you’.

Simple example for you. Say I have 4 free bets of $10. If I just take 4 even chance bets of -110. I’ll win two for a total of $18 into my account. If I bet 4 free bets of two leg parlays, all at -110 each, I’ll win 1 for $26 into my account.

Would you rather get $26 or $18?

Edit. And about the Fox under bet…. Yes, it is more likely to win than not, but you are laying -155. So it’s not really close to an even chance thing.

Correct. The 7 and 8 seeds are guaranteed at least two games. But not relevant to my point. The coaches are not saving the stars for ‘the next game’. They will be going all out so ‘the next game’ is a real playoff game.

LOL. Have been watching. I seriously don’t think Hachimura has even been CLOSE to a rebound in the first half!!!

Started watching at halftime
He gets a lot of minutes
But he seems to camp outside on offense
When somebody doesn't believe me, I could care less. Some get totally bent out of shape when not believed. Weird. I believe very little on all forums

yeah, that was strange - Rui ended up with just one - his last 6 games before this one he got___________7,5,11,6,5,7 - and he got 33 minutes - about his usual

the pick on Fox was a winner he had just 2 3s but the two picks as a whole lost $

today -

royals/white sox -

Martin Maldonado under 0.5 hits_____________-140

he's a very light hitter batting just 0.65 - he's gone hitless in 10 out of his last 12 games

I joined you again. Got -135. I’m doing particularly poorly as of late. If he goes 3/4 with 2 homers you’ll know it’s my bet that did it!
