No Vig. Help Needed...

[jolmscheid]

Hey all...I have read all the threads I can find on SBR about the no vig. line. I still do not understand however. Some say if you beat the no vig line by say 5 cents or more, then you will profit....some say you won't.

What I am asking is if one can BEAT the no vig line on spreads, totals, ML's, etc, is that a +EV bet?

I often see many times where the no vig line on a large dog is say +250, and I could get that game at +265 for instance...is that a profitable bet longterm?


Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance as always for help given!

The no vig closing line, yes, if the market is efficient. MLB, yes. Peruvian llama racing, maybe not.

Anyone care to give a brief explanation of what the no vig line is? Too lazy to look it up right now.

vig is how the book creates an edge for themselves when you place a bet
use this tool if you are lazy

If you can't work out no vig lines from google / previous threads you're probably not going to do very well at sportsbetting.

Thanks guys...but black and white IF you can beat the no vig line, is that a +EV bet longterm?

How much do you have to beat the no vig line by for different prices? Example: -120 or -300 or +200 etc....

Thanks everyone

In efficient markets (bigger sports), yes.

This thread does bring up a side topic. The sooner you stop thinking in terms of cents, the better off you'll be. Not all cents are created equal.

This crosses the line of asking for help to asking someone to do your homework for you.

No matter how many questions you are spoon fed answers to you will never be successful if you can not learn to think for yourself.

What you are doing is no different than they guy who says he is too lazy to look something up the only difference is that he was honest and upfront about it.

The books are in the business to make money, if you want no juice lines you are going to have to play small dog MLs & parlays. If you want to profit you are going to have to hit over 56% like evrything else
