    ESPN Streak For Cash MLB Evaluation

    I was bored today, so I looked into fading the ESPN Streak For Cash MLB games, because realistically..you'd be fading the public. So I started by going back to April 6th where the season began essentially and I broke it down into 3 categories to begin with:

    Less than 5% chance of winning
    5%-10% chance of winning
    10%-25% chance of winning

    (I rounded to the nearest percent. )

    The record I got for these are below

    5%- 21-16
    10%- 13-18
    25%- 40-32

    total record: 74-66

    I then went a step further and filtered out the games labeled as cold and came up with these records. Which didn't have much of a significant change.

    5%- 17-16
    10%- 12-13
    25%- 25-17

    total record: 54-46

    I also broke them down into the following:

    Hot Games
    5% 4-4
    10% 2-2
    25% 3-1

    Warmer Games

    5% 7-6
    10% 5-4
    25% 10-3

    Warm Games
    5% 6-6
    10% 5-7
    25% 12-13

    So filtering out the cold and warm games seemed to help the record a bit

    The records will update to the following:

    5% 11-10
    10% 7-6
    25% 13-4

    total: 31-20

    Obviously its only from this year so its not a very large test sample. But I would imagine the majority of these teams are dogs. I have not actually went back and looked at the lines. But that will be my next step in this test. I will have more of a clearer vision to see if this is something that will work.

    Any input would be awesome!

    thanks

    Also, these percentages are the final percentage ESPN has posted. We would obviously have to wait up until a few minutes before 1st pitch to place the bets to have an accurate percentage. I will start posting the plays in this thread. I have all the past plays written in a notebook. I will post those on here shortly. I'm just trying to figure out if i want to combine all the plays together. Or if I should break it down into the percentage categories and filter anything out. any help would be nice

    All of the plays are listed. Nothing was filtered out. And I am not going to filter any of the plays out for now, unless someone sees something that makes it worth it.. The results are pretty impressive, so I will continue to track these plays in the days, weeks, and months to come. Hopefully the same success continues and we can make some money! I will post the plays about 10-15 minutes prior to the games. I will just edit the post when I add the later games rather than having several posts for 1 day.

    To make things easy, I am going to flat bet every play.
    I will not be betting $100/game myself, but for tracking purposes, all plays will be for $100.
    I used 5Dimes lines, and I will continue to use their closing line to track this.

    Good Luck Everyone!

    I am now going to go back through all the plays and list the % of people on each team for the possibility of future filters
