Jolm and impper, how are ya'll doing by doing the nba games at noon?Comment -
I ran the NBA numbers at noon, but I'm just tracking them. I came up with:
NBA
New Jersey +10 -165 3.75%
Philadelphia +9 -165 4.63%
New Orleans -3.5 -165 1.07%
Memphis -1.5 -165 0.95%
San Antonio -9 -165 1.43%
Denver -6 -165 1.67%
LA Lakers -9 -165 1.93%Comment -
Thanks pal.
did Betjam cap you @ 2 point buying or take away point buying altogether? I just read back a few pages and saw that betjam did that to you on $25 wagers. WOW! guess they don't want anyone beating them regardless of the amounts. that is being a little tight for my taste. I wonder if they do this to everyone? guess they don't have any JM players.
Will check out the others.Comment -
chili, ive a qstion

I have been doing better overall with CBB...I don't get nearly as many plays in NBA because I think it's harder to get an edge in the NBA maybe since I have -170 lines???k
Anyways, I just ran the numbers now and this is what I get:
Wash. State +6
Iona -7
Montana -1.5
Nets +10
Rockets +8
Clippers +12Comment -
And for the 5pm games, I have:
NBA
New Jersey +9.5 -165 0.91%

NY Knicks +9.5 -165 1.67%
Chicago +8 -165 1.70%
Minnesota +15 -165 0.92%
Indiana +5 -165 1.86%
LA Clippers +12 -165 1.64%
CBB
Georgia -2 -165 1.64%
Marist +8 -165 0.78%
Iona -7.5 -165 2.24%
Montana -1.5 -165 1.52%
Washington State +6 -165 1.68%
Idaho -7 -165 1.69%
GL tonight!!!Comment -
When betting on matchbook you can find some edges using their alternative lines that are off pinny by as much as 2.5 points. I think you can find some nice edges there . Has anyone tried it?Comment -
I haven't; I don't have an account at matchbook. I guess if you don't have access to -165/-170 lines, then that that could possible be a viable alternative - it would really depend on the juice for those alt lines.Comment -
How'd you fellows do? I went 6-2 in NCAA for +13 units and 4-4 in NBA for -2 unitsComment -
I did a total of 9-3-1. I'm not happy with the way the noon games that I tracked played out. Maybe it's because I'm using -165 in the calculator, and you guys are using -170, so I'm playing games that you normally wouldn't. The night games that I played did good, though.Comment -
So this is what I came up with for today, doing all the -108+ games, but this time, instead of putting in -165 as what it would cost me to buy the 3 points, I put in -170 (the same as you guys), because for some reason, ya'll are doing WAY better with day games than I am, and the only remaining variable is that I am inputting a different juice than ya'll are.
CBB
North Carolina +4.5 3.10%
Harvard +11.5 1.56%
Western Carolina +4 2.73%
Manhattan +13 2.45%
Purdue -8.5 0.79%
Miami Florida +5.5 1.18%
Syracuse -9 2.59%
Old Dominion -7 0.92%
George Mason -12 1.41%
Texas A&M -9.5 1.47%
Wichita State +11.5 1.79%
NBA
Atlanta +12 1.43%
Sacramento +11 2.68%
What do you guys have?Comment -
Running the calcs now Chili.....missed a bunch of the day games already....Chili are you doing football still at all???Comment -
Nah, cfb is almost over, and I can't buy points as cheap as cheme could for football. Not to mention, I can't do the correlated parlays that he was doing to make so much money. Just sticking with nba/cbb for now. We'll figure out something for mlb as well - I know that cheme did pretty good in mlb last season.Comment -
Sounds good Chili....alright here is what I have for today:
Old Dominion -7
Alabama +15
Northeastern +4.5
Miami +5
Gonzaga +5
CS Northridge +11
LA Lafayette +13.5
Utah +5.5
UL Monroe +15.5
Illinois State -3.5
Sacramento Kings +11Comment -

good lucks on your plays!Comment -
All in all, an okay day. I ended up going 10-5-2, but picking up +8.9 units.
I did track (didn't bet) what plays I would've had by betting all of the CBB games an hour before gametime, and wow! I'm so glad I didn't bet them ... they lost close to -35 units!!!
So, after several days of turning my losing streak around, I've finally figured it all out.
Comment -
Hey Chili, for your NBA Games you did right before 5pm did you use -170 for your cost. I'm just asking because I got different numbers and I'm just trying to figure out why.Comment -
No, I used -165 as my cost for the NBA games that I ran at 5pm. For the games I ran around 11-11:30am this morning, I used -170, and stuck to games that were -108 or worse. That seems to be what is working the best for me, so I'm sticking with it.
Also, using impper's formula to determine your unit size is the best way to go. The formula is: 1+ (edge * 1.41). So, whatever edge percentage the calculator gives you, do the math with that formula, and that's how many units to bet for that game. Also, I only play games with an edge percentage of 0.75% or higher.Comment -
Awesome that makes a little more sense.
Did you stick to games that were -108 for NBA as well as college?
Definetly going to do -108 for college from now on, had a crazy day today, went 16-8-1 on anything with an edge above .5 playing just before the start of games made money but just barely. I like the idea of doing all the college games around 11am and only doing the -108- or better and then NBA right before they start.
I've been looking over notes and that would seem to work out much better for me. Haven't tried impper's formula but I keep hearing good things so I am trying it out tomorrow.Comment -
When I do all of the games between 11am-noon, I only look for games (both nba/cbb) that are -108 or worse. When I do the NBA games at 5pm, I run all of the games through the calculator.
I know that sometimes I might be double-betting on an NBA game, like I did today, with both Atlanta and Sacramento, but it has been working out for me, and money is money.
Comment -
To give you an idea of how well impper's formula is, here's the results from the past 3 days:
Just betting the edge percentage as your unit = +27.2 units.
Just flatbetting 2 units per play = +22.6 units.
Using impper's formula = +59.2 units.Comment -
Way to go Chili.....I went 7-4 last night....so like you said...an OK day I guess...Comment -
Better than a losing day!
I'm going to be running the numbers in a little bit. I've decided around 11-11:30am CST is when I'm gonna run the numbers daily, using the criteria that I've already posted about.Comment -
Sounds good Chili...I ran my numbers and here is what I have:
Evansville +6
Temple +9
Fairfield -2.5
Clippers +10Comment -
When I ran them about 20 mins ago, there were a lot of -105, -106, -107 at Pinny, so not as many plays for me todayComment -
I won't be around to do the 5pm NBA games, so these are my plays:
NBA
LA Clippers +10 2.60%
CBB
Creighton +10.5 1.09%
Niagara +19.5 1.78%
Fairfield -2.5 0.83%
Long Beach State +11 2.51%
GL!Comment -

LBSU +11.5
UAB -2.5 i might play this at 5.5 based on knowing kent well
Temple +9
Montana +11.5Comment -
oklahoma was/is a play but line went down to 17.5 when i tried to bet. at 18 it's a betComment -
Awesome game with the cowboys winning against the colts! I definitely did not see that one coming!
I did pretty good in CBB, went 3-1, just hoping that the clippers pull through and cover the spread
Comment -
man, clippers suck! i really hope they cover the 10 points, but they're playing so bad. hopefully they recover in the 2nd halfComment -
wow, clips just down by 10 now, what a comeback in the 3rd quarter. i hope they keep it up, because if they lose, then i'll have a small losing night, because it was a higher bet unitComment
