This is a book and you are going to have to pay for it.

I was thinking about buying this book, but I'm wondering if his models are outdated. Everybody and their Uncle knows about Wong teasers. I have to think that the books have adjusted to these and they're not profitable anymore. I will probrably buy Justin's book instead. I hope his math is something I can do. Math wasn't my best subject in school.

The book has a companion website: www.sharpsportsbetting.com. Maybe, if he would allow it, there is information about an electronic copy on there.

Can you explain the Wong teasers?

Basically you wanna cross the 3 and the 7 with a 6.5 point teaser.

So you want to:

Bet Favs that are -9 to -7.5 and tease them to -2.5 to -1

Bet Dogs that are +1 to +2.5 and tease them to +7.5 to +9

These types of teaser are the most profitable long term because many margins of victory in the NFL are 3 and 7. Many books, these day, though will avoid lines that have a Fav -9 to -7.5 or Dogs +1 to +2.5 to avoid these teasers, but they are still out there if you search.

So they avoid putting a team as a -9 favorite because of teasers, so they make these teams a -7 favorite.....?

It's usually just the opposite. If a team were -8, Pinny would deal -9 +105 (or some different juice reflecting the low values for the 8 and 9). Same thing with a +2 dog, where they'd deal it at +1 +110.

And of course 5dimes has their teaser line set, where they do a similar adjustment (but without being tied to the underlying line).

umm... there still profitable. the ranges still exist. most books have found ways to adjust and don't pay out quite as well as they used to. however, there are still some good outs left. find them.

How much do non-A+ books hassle you for betting these games, for example, in comparison to betting correlated parlays?

Also remember you wanna get +100 or +110 on these depending what your playing. I'm assuming you've read the book. Which books were you thinking of?

As far as models are concerned.. wong's book is not really a "handicapping book" per se, If you are looking for statistical modeling justin's book would be a much better read. Having said that, Wong's book is informative and you will learn some things (i.e, poisson, push percentages)

**Joe Dogs** · 08-22-10, 05:53 AM

Just picked this up from http://Amazon.com

Very informative

**do5000** · 08-22-10, 08:48 AM

its not perfect, but definitely worth a read

Wong sold that website a few months ago and there's no longer any info there, the old message boards have apparently been erased. Even before he sold the site, he hadn't been actively involved with SSB since at least 2006, if not even longer ago than that.

I own the book and it seems to gravitate more towards the beginner bettor. There are a few useful tidbits throughout the book, a few already being mentioned. Not a bad buy.

Thanks again
