This might be a great think to help people PICK spots to play, playing anything like this blindly will always look great at first, but eventually fall apart

[fjordo]

this is very risky if you do it every night

Of course it is, but that's gambling.

This might be a great think to help people PICK spots to play, playing anything like this blindly will always look great at first, but eventually fall apart

Couldn't agree with you more, I am posting all the homestand games so if anyone is following this thread, they know who is playing, I just picked the wrong spots last night. Isn't that what we are all on here for, to help each other make more money (or at least lose less). If anyone can use any of this info in any way to help them, wicked. I wouldn't blindly bet anything, even if tailing someone. The play has to make sense to you!


A couple nights off now will be nice, hope everyone has a great holidays.

Looking over my spreadsheet, here's a few facts/stats. Anything else you want to know, just ask.

If you eliminated teams coming off roadtrip, 1st game PL wins: 20-33 (38%)
If you eliminated underdogs, 1st game PL wins: 23-36 (39%)
If you eliminated teams coming off roadtrips and underdogs, 1st game PL wins: 19-26 (42%)
PL for entire homestand, not just 1st 3 games: 51-16 (76%) 3 pending
Win in entire homestand: 65-4 (94%) 1 pending
Win in 1st game: 43-27 (61%)
Win in 1st 2 games: 57-12 (83%) 1 pending
Win in 1st 3 games: 64-5 (93%) 1 pending


There haven't been more than 4 1st game PL loses in a row this year, and that 4 has only occured once. If you eliminated underdogs, or fresh off roadtrips, this number drops to 2. Only twice has there been 2 loses in a row on 1st game PLs. Maybe there is a way we can use this with some form of 'chase'. When hockey returns, I am going to try this using only my points.

sorry for contradicting you in your own thread, but i have fading New Jersey Devils in my autobet. my local bookie gave me yesterday +230 @ Ranger PL, i had to take it. Devils lost, before Rangers' game, 7 of then with 2 goals or more. and in the last 6 they lost all of them with 2 or more. so i would advise you to consider some filters.

[fjordo]

i would advise you to consider some filters.

Right now the only filter you need is to play the opposite of me. All kidding aside, absolutely, some filters are needed.


I have been doing just awful of late, and am going to take a break. I will have maybe a couple more plays, but for the most part I will just post the homestand games, and update the record, maybe weekly or so.
