translation:

a bunch of numbers and formulas that do not translate into 18-20 year olds actual will and emotions playing basketball.

With college sports throw away all math systems and formulas.

Pomeroy is like the Dr. Bob of College Basketball, except his stuff is free

[pavyracer]

I have never used any stats or guides and I always win. Only way to win is watch games and know how to judge talent.

LT, I am trying to decipher all the info on his page and have to admit I am terrible with numbers. Where do you get the predicted scores from? I know with Sagarin you take the 2 numbers and give the home team 2-3 points. What do you do with these?

Thanks and gl today!

I was thinking about how both have great mathematical minds. Also, Pomeroys may not be designed for betting, but they sure are used for that purpose.

[onthewhat]

not good ATS

[pavyracer]

POMEROY is 0-4 for the day.
pavyracer is 4-0 by using his capping skills for 5 min.

Winner is pavyracer in this battle.

[LT Profits]

not good ATS

Huh? 2-0-1 with Pittsburgh +2.5 pending.

[onthewhat]

Duke was -9
Louisville -2

Guy went 2-2

[TPowell]

Pomeroy isnt that good for ATS because if I'm not mistaken, its basically a percentage game. It doesnt have anything to do with the point spread, just has to do with how likely a team is to win the game. (Like Sagarin right?)

[LT Profits]

Plays were G-Town +9 (P), Wake +2 (W), Arizona State +6 (W), Pitt +2 (L).

That's 2-1-1.

[LT Profits]

Anyhow, even forgetting about score projections, it;s still a great site and I find his ratings much more realistic than other ratings.

[pavyracer]

LT 2-1-1 is great but 4-0 is greater.

[LT Profits]

Neither is meaningful, all that matters is the long run.

[onthewhat]

Was counting his GTown play a loss, forgot it pushed

[TPowell]

I went 2-1 on this games as well. Didnt play the Duke game but had a shit load on Wake and a decent amount on Louisville. Not sure why I bet UCLA though

[pavyracer]

Neither is meaningful, all that matters is the long run.

LT I'm hitting 75% the last 3 weeks. This is what matters right now.

[onthewhat]

LT hit 56% over 300 plays last year

[TPowell]

Pavy, how the hell are you hitting shit that I've never heard of? No offense, just wondering if you spent time overseas or something?

[pavyracer]

Onner I hit 65% on 1000 plays last year.

You mean the soccer? I use the internet. I have been watching soccer and played the game since I was 8 years old. My adopted father played professional soccer in Italy and England. I learned everything from him. If you know how to play and coach the game you can cap it easily. You got to learn to identify the schemes and tactics the coaches use for the game. It takes years of watching soccer and thousands of games.

[TPowell]

oh I didnt know, I knew you'd been playing a few different leagues. Are the lines sharp?

[pavyracer]

Well you can start with over/unders who are about -110 for over/under 2.5 goals. The lines for good teams are sometimes small -400 to -200 but you can parlay two teams or play asian handicap -1 for better odds.

To answer your question the lines are sharp but you can beat them. It's actually less stressful than football or basketball because you rarely have to worry about covering the spread.
