    Roniie you get banned at books because of this

    Pinnacle has Mets -115 and Bet Green has them at -102

    Even though books would be very profitable booking this bet they are brainwashed into thinking your betting some off line

    Ronnie you still cooking in that small deli??

      GOOD books dont you guys all play at trash total shit books so of course those books who dont have enough money to pay their electric bills are going to limit/ban players they think can beat them.

      The ONLY offshore place I got booted from was SIA, and EVERYONE got booted from them eventually.

      I took more money of of Pinnacle, Canbet, and the Greek than you guys have seen, never got limited never got banned, never got anything. I did have multiple accounts but that is beside the point, and if these math guys were so smart they would have multiple accounts at the same book to to take advantage of their so called edges.

      As far as variance, another math catch phrase. Variance is based on a finite principle. where there is a KNOWN mean. There is no such thing in sports betting, the only mean people can use is the ones book set and players try to figure out. You can try and estimate variance, but you still have to have the known end product to do so. The closing line doesnt count, thats where people fail. Because they think it does.

      You dont think guys with actual brains dont know how to do it? You dont think they have all tried? Why havent they figured it out well enough yet? if anything "Variance" is code for "math doesnt work but we have a word that explains why, but we still try to apply math because it is the 'best' way to approach it".

        Just because you can't exactly determine what the value of variance is does not preclude it from existing.

        Math does work for a lot of things w/ variance. To imply otherwise is just silly.

        But when I referred to variance I was simply referring to the ups and downs (a form of variance) in betting even if one did have a winning model.

          So are you saying that books are cutting into their bottom line when they ban "sharp" players? Would they be better off just keeping them at regular limits because the juice will ultimately cause the sharps to lose?

              How did you hammer these books if your premise is that books are not beatable?

                        ACL making a living with a guranteed salary as long as you do your job compared to dealing with the swings of gambling is a safer route to go.

                                    Are you saying actuaries lose too?
                                    Or are they preying on the gamblers?

                                            yeah no shit theyre applied to a lot of things, but generally those things are anythng like sports betting. There are so many variables in sports betting it is IMPOSSIBLE to use math.

                                            Just off the top of my head in the NFL...

                                            officiating, replay, scoring system, penalties, injuries, kickers, emotion, that is before you even get to the lines and odds. But with those you have variables as well.

                                            So youre trying to predict something based on a theory using theory to justify the prediction. Yeah that makes sense.

Nothing wrong with it, but if they had a clue as to what they were doing they could use what they know and push it a little further.

                                            On top of all that I have yet to see ANY math guy give a reason as to why they like a game, IF they even give an opinion in the first place. You will have the obligatory 'model says' guys or 'computer says' guys but other than that math guys dont say shit except 'math is the only way to go'. I have yet to see one PROVE it.

                                            But of course that always comes back with the expected response of 'why would we show people out advantages' which is just the same bullshit excuse EVERY LOSER gives when they dont have a legit answer.

                                              And you guys can laugh all you want about my lakers lottery prediction the truth is, and something you fools will never understand is that they sucked ATS. So even though they didnt make the lottery they were still one of the best fades in the history of the NBA. I surely didnt see anyone bragging about how much money they made betting on the Lakers last season or how much the made from them on futures.

                                              Where were all the models and math guys there? I made a statement and I stuck by it all season and I cashed about 85% betting against the Lakers all season. Shit, they were about 67% on the blind, so any fool could have just bet against them every game and made more money than they ever had gambling. Including the play offs lakers were 27-41 ATS versus the best number, against generic numbers they were 30-44. I will let all you math guys figure out what percentage that actually is.

                                              So laugh it up all you want, I made money, thats all that matters. Considering I hadnt bet the NBA in about a decade and had that kind of 'success' says a lot. But it really had nothing to do with anything other than fading a couple over rated teams and following a bunch of under rated teams. All of them i mentioned BEFORE the season started by the way.

                                                      I do not know how you thrown turnovers into any math model

                                                      Turnovers are the one thing that no one can predict therefore making sports betting almost impossible

                                                      Models can win short term like any other system nothing wins long term but scalping and middles

                                                                The handful of most successful sports gamblers are real cappers. Of course capping in itself requires decent math skills.

                                                                The largest group of winners are math grinders/angle shooters. Guys who can polish middle out of a crap book with a bonus and scoop a few bucks, the Durito types. It's a lot of work and robs you of time you could be doing something meaningful. I've never met a rich math grinder and doubt I ever will. course ive never met a rich gambler either so maybe it is time to move on.

That said, when you arb a square line vs Pinny you lose at Pinny and win at the square book. This is just a fact. So beating the closing line is a valid concept on average. Outside of this lies those game where there is information that is not public and that will have a real impact on the game. You have to either get that yourself by hiring barrelled in CIA ops, or infer it from the lines when the books are taking leans or when there is obvious sharp/public splits on a side.

                                                                    As for sharps going broke, its not surprising. A sharp likes to think he is a cold calculating math machine when deep down he is a degenerate gambler though and through. Phil Ivey and Doyle are incredible poker players and have won reams of money, but they will be degenerates until the day they die.

                                                                      Pinnacle is going to beat 99% of the online books 100% of the time BOTH ways. There are maybe 3 books that you might get 3 or 4 cents from online. Vegas and locals can be more and are really the best options.
