I'm working on a WNBA model now...so we'll see what happens with that. MLB model is hitting at a great clip, and it's taking dogs. I've made +7.95 units already.Comment -
... or you waiting yntil you get out of Beta testing?Comment -
I'm still trying to improve the MLB model GT... It still has a few modifications that need be made.Comment -
Always in that lab!Comment -
So far it's at +5.95 Units
Also encouraging is that 2 Unit plays are 4-1 so far...and that's insane, because I'm not taking 50-50 games.... the average ML on those winning games was +134
Comment -
THAT sounds promising..........!
Hey there CQ! I've been pretty busy with work and trying to wager alittle.
Just got my Sunday coffee made and wanted to see how you were and what was going on with you.
Everything good? Sure hope so.
Will check you as things progress.

Hey GT, things are going well. I got Dean Oliver's "Basketball on Paper" in the mail yesterday, so you'd better believe I'm already working on improved models for next year!
MLB model went 3-2 yesterday on 5 half unit plays for a total of ... +.5 Units.Comment -
Anytime you can get a strategy/model/system on the green side of the line consistently, you've accomplished something. From a relatively stabile base, you can work on improvements such as greater dependability, higher percentage payouts, etc.
But then... I don't have to tell you that.
Keep at it my friend... keep tweaking.

Just checking in w/ya' CQ.
Had a few minutes b4 walking out the door for today.
Top of the morning to you

Hey GT, up 7.23 Units now in MLB! For a sport I care nothing about, I'm doing quite well! Had a 3-1 day yesterday (kinda a 4-1 day, but I can't TECHNICALLY count one of the wins towards the records or towards unit gains even though I played it and won because of a pitching change to a pitcher who I don't have in my database...but was still technically a play even if the worst pitcher was pitching...and I played it...but... I have to be fair and say the model says if there's no pitcher, there's no play).
Work on the WNBA model has become work on a WNBA/NBA/NCAAB model... I have many ideas for improvements in all baskets. WNBA is up next though, so I'll mainly be focusing on WNBA for now. I can't believe that I can't wait for the start of WNBA...

Good morning CQ... that is weird. Don't let that WNBA news get out! Hey GT, up 7.23 Units now in MLB! For a sport I care nothing about, I'm doing quite well!

"I can't believe that I can't wait for the start of WNBA.."
Sorry CQ but that is a memorable quote. I don't believe I have ever heard anyone say that
Comment -
Toooo Funny... the guys w/the white coats in the padded van might come a knocking.......
Afternoon CQ!
How goes things in the lab Bud?
You need anything to eat or drink in there? Just let me know........ otherwise, keep working on it
Comment -
lol... thanks guys...
Got a little distracted from the WNBA model... been trying to hold down 2 versions of the MLB model now. V1.11 and V2.2 are both running...gotta see which one works better (in theory 2.2 should be better). WNBA will follow soon, and I do plan on posting those plays.
I'm a little sick over this whole gov't seizing poker sites thing. I feel like sports betting sites could follow. Stupid greedy government... I truly hope people get their money back...Comment -

.......... me too friend
...but, of course, goverment run lotteries are perfectly alright.
...and YOU TALK ABOUT A GAMBLE? You can do absolutely nothing in a lottery to influence/improve your chance of winning.
But I'm not gonna' get on my
. It's so tiring and will ruin the day... mine and yours.
GL today.
I'll check back......Comment -
Friend tried to cash out of PokerStars and it was declined... ugh. I totally hear you GT. Lotteries are perfectly legal...so sickening. Good thing the government is here to run my life for me. I can waist all my money on a real gamble with no real chances of even winning... but I can't play games of skill or bet on sports where I can have an edge. So so so disturbing.

Well, we're just so inept... our GOV's just trying to protect us... from ourselves
THAT"S ABOUT AS TONGUE-IN-CHEEK A COMMENT AS I KNOW HOW TO MAKE CQ!
Good morning CQ, how's tricks?Comment -
Good morning on a Monday CQ.
I just had to check in here at SBR early and re-live the magical evening we had fooling around on DaBa's Strategy Thread last night.
It will probably go down in SBR history/lore as The Night of the DaBA Pg. 149 Brown-Out... or The night of The Houston Dynamo MLS Soccer Play, or some-such description!
I upped my bank by 34% yesterday. My biggest one-day BR positive move in a long time... so I'm ecstatic this morning. I'm still on the rush.......
Comment -
Damn... how'd you up it by 34%?! Very nice Sounds a little like you need some more br management classes though
Comment -
Morning CQ... how's it coming?
I'm still guarding the BR jealously. Don't want to get cocky after a nice little run. That's a reci for disaster for sure.
Playing a little, and I do mean little, Asian and Swiss soccer this AM... maybe some small winners to savor when I get in this evening. That would be nice.
Check back w/ya'.
Have a GOOD day CQ!

I haven't touched the WNBA model in a week... I need a kick in the ass.
Comment -
A bit... perhaps I'll get around to it tonight. I've been swamped at work so my brain has been too tired to work when I get home. Plus I have to update my MLB model daily... and that take 30 minutes to an hour some days. However, it's all been worth it because it's up +10 Units now! It's been destroying line movement... been on the right side of nearly every game. Pretty amazing.Comment -
Nice work. Have no idea about MLB unfortunately in terms of ML (I don't really watch the sport). The totals is where is I have made the money, as it seems to be much more consistent for me.Comment -
Good morning CQ!
Read this Quote:
My friend said he recieved a check from Bodog and his bank refused to cash it into his account. Has anyone had problems with that? Let me know,he doesn't know what to do
Maker. Love to know how this worked out with your friend. This seemed to go far to easily ignored yesterday, and it can greatly affect anyone in here playing with real money. I know I have a decent chunk of my cash overseas, and this definitely concerns me, mostly because of the US crackdown on the PokerStars sites, etc. Dont know if their is a relationship here between your buddy's problem and that, but it would be re-assuring to know if anyone here has received a check or wire recently, and had or did not have a problem. Pretty important stuff.
Comment -
Yet another CQ...
Dirt and Maker - I had a check coming from Bodog last week DHL and was to receive it Thursday (right around the time of the PStars and Full Tilt crackdown) but came across a message "Contact DHL Customer Support" when tracking it Thursday morning. I called DHL first and they informed me that customs was ordered to destroy all packages coming from that location. I believe the shipping point was Singapore. I immediately got on the phone with Bodog and they assured me a new check had been cut and is on the way. I received it Tuesday via Fed Ex and deposited into my account OK. I can only speculate the initial check was destroyed, along with other payments, due to the crackdown last week
Comment -
Jesus christ... I have a ch*ck from bodog sitting on the desk in front of me... I'm lazy and will attempt to deposit it on Monday. I cashed out some on Tuesday and got the ch*ck in the mail on Friday... so that came quick and no problems... but I heard someone on here say their BoDog ch*ck bounced... so... great. Now I'm even more paranoid...
I also have all my money cashing out of Diamond on the way and am planning on pulling out half of my BR from Bookmaker and 5 Dimes once I see the half of BoDog BR and all of Diamond hit my bank account. I gotta cut down on my offshore exposure... I don't think they are going after books...but... I'm not going to risk tons of money on that bet.Comment -
Anyone have any good sites for WNBA?
Only have found a couple sites to use for data.
Comment -
Spent the last couple hours identifying the error that had me hung up on the WNBA model. AH! Finally found the damn problem... progress restarted!

Good morning CQ...
Glad to see you're back on the models.
Hope you had a nice, safe Easter weekend...Comment
