    I like that you're attacking the Totals like this.

    Good stuff.

    Careful with NIT totals. My model has all the NIT games going under too. In the past they have used different time and foul rules and I think that’s why the lines are higher than expected, but I haven’t been able to find specifics on what they’re doing this year. Guess we’ll know in a few hours.

    GL!

    Nice start, Odds. Good thread.

    I'd be careful playing the "Dog w/ better record." Not sure about that one.

    Very impressive. Rooting for you.

    Q: What do you set as your REASONABLE Target Win% over time?

    great question without delving to deep or consuming much time.
    A: there are so many angles/strategies=each wager has to be tallied in its place. (Examples of angles. value betting as in a favorite according to model shows they should be able to beat a line by more///same thing for an underdog, adherently same wagers but two different angles.
    ---bias dogs --- totals both o/u --- +ev only based off win% exmple team has 46% chance winning line is +125 that would mean that no matter what the outcome long term would be profitable..
    People tend to focus on target% win to much when its really not about that
    there are literally hundreds of angles that can be applied and can become a great source of passive income with some deep time dedication.

    Thanks for the reply, V. And props to you.

    I should have phrased the question a little differently. I was asking about Target Win% vs -110 (1.91) odds.

    Of course, it's all about the ROI. Your example on +EV on the +125 is a good one.

    Good Luck on your plays. May your EV ring true.
