MLB stat of the day

BiffTFinancial · 07-21-10, 06:49 PM

the stretch drive continues. if the Tribe wins 32 of 42, like in the movie, they can get back in this thing.

JoMoney2785 · 07-21-10, 06:54 PM

and the indians have been HOT lately too. im lookin forward to seeing the lines for this series. lets make some money

Wow that's an amazing stat you found.Also Cleveland is hot so worth a play for sure.

bumpin this one, i rarely bet a team blindly but will tonight

PDW · 07-23-10, 10:20 AM

I think this means they are due for a win.

ProfaneReality · 07-23-10, 10:26 AM

the due theory ! just thought it was an interesting stat... id take carmona at this price even if TB had won 17 straight at CLE

Means nothing considering this streak goes back to the days of Tanyon Sturtze and Steve Cox.

and 4 games last year as well

Point is, as good as 17-0 looks, it is too small a sample to be meaningful, especially spread over so many years.

its now 18-0. some things are the way they are and to be accepted like that. you know how the lakers never win in charlotte the last few years.

ProfaneReality · 07-23-10, 11:15 PM

bet on streaks, not against them

18 straight now.

lyon804 · 07-23-10, 11:53 PM

I have an idea.. I am quite certain I can stop this streak. I will take the Indians +160ML for tommorow. Consider the streak over.

EmpireMaker · 07-24-10, 12:35 AM

I either play Cleveland or pass

Doesnt mean anything, tomorrow will be completely random...

If and only if you can attribute this streak to something other than pure luck (which you cant) then you have a possible edge.

ProfaneReality · 07-24-10, 08:08 AM

I kove the tight asses here... its called riding a streak, betting on it...not against it. its like being at the roulette table and seeing 10 straight black and jumping on to see how far it goes.... or at the craps table riding a hot shooter...

Exactly. There is nothing wrong with liking Cleveland, but this streak should have absolutely no impact on he decision. What does something that happened in 2005 with different rosters have to to with the game today?

Not tight ass, a realist. The streak has nothing to do with the game today unless there is some underlying cause for it. In fact, it could create line value on Tampa Bay if too many bettors buy into the streak.

ProfaneReality · 07-24-10, 09:58 AM

LT what do you do at a craps table when you see a guy make 6 points in a row... you throw it out the window? no you jummp on the hot shooter full well knowing what he did the previous 6 rolls doesnt chage the mathematical odds... no one is claiming that

i dont understand how you can be a gambler and not buy into streaks... no one has even hinted that what happened in 05 has an impact on todays game.

if you follow sports at all you should know that teams/players for some reason just dont play well or have good results in certain places..

SprtsCapnGuru · 07-24-10, 10:20 AM

Why not all take Cleveland +1.5 and everybody is happy!

Because if two teams have exactly a 50/50 chance against each other and Team A beats Team B 18 times in a row, the odds are still 50/50 in Game 19. Each game should be handicapped on its own merit.

The best value can be gained by betting AGAINST streaks if too many people by into the angle.
