    Conspiracy Theory Bookmakers (CTB)
    This is my first topic, which I will describe my understanding of how the bookmakers.
    To confirm the theory, I will give examples.

    Example:
    Portugal, Maritimo-Braga. Result: 2-1, 2-2 (Draw)
    First odds (1x2): 3.64 3.44 2.15 (EU odds)
    Last odds (1x2): 4.49 3.64 1.89 (EU odds)
    analyze only pre-match odds.
    We have movement line: Up home team - -12 price; Up draw - -4 price; Down away team - 19 price
    If you believe the movement, the money is concentrated in Braga.
    But if you add another indicator - Balance Money Supply (BMS) - it's easy: -12 + -4 + 19 = 3 price
    We will see advantage line in away team for three price.




    What conclusion?
    -Bookmaker cut odds on the Home team and Draw. High probability that the final result will be: home team or draw.

              As the odds spread further apart, the value of a cent becomes smaller and smaller.

              The theoretical hold is likely almost identical I would assume. This assuredly will not be a winning strategy I can promise you that, but BOL with flipping coins.

                  Your profits depend on the selection criteria (algorithm).
                  ...the example I showed you just tip of the iceberg
                  if the filter only one parameter and ignore the other indicators - the result will be negative distance nadlitelnoy
                  necessary to consider a set of indicators...
                  Search "good algorithm" - it's long (or neverending) story

                      This is extremely without sense!!!
                      According to your opinion this mean that moneyline (that changes from) 2.9 & 1.5 its worse than 3.3 & 1.3 only because in total we have +0.4 - 0.2 = +0.2 so very wrong way to think. Everything depends on odds. The lower the odds of favourite team ,the bigger will be the difference on odds change but that doesnt mean the payout is getting better ....

                          Tested the program for three months, made 480 bets.
                          The result is positive, so I'm sure I chose the right direction.

                            Do you focus on the particular.
                            Note - I wrote about complex analysis: a movement, ratio range, payuot and more...
                            Your opinion is correct - if it is applied to the analysis of fragmented - one criterion.

                              Why are you sure? Is it that positive? Couldn't it be randomness?

                                      interesting theory - bookies do know factors that influence games - which they dont tell the public - so this theory has some grounds - it is harder for them to predict money movement - so their first odds are adequate and adjustments are cause of money of public - i think it is not the best theory - but definitely not a loser one

                                                  it ticks, the basis of data taken of ladder Betfair.
                                                  Each band coefficients step.
                                                  Look ....
                                                  Factor Range Step (ticks)
                                                  1.00 - 2.00 1 : 1.01, 1.02, 1.03...
                                                  2.00 - 3.00 2 : 2.02, 2.04, 2.06...
                                                  3.00 - 4.00 5 : 3.05, 3.10, 3.15...
                                                  4.00 - 6.00 10 : 4.10, 4.20, 4.30...
                                                  etc.
                                                  can also use the formula Percentage.

                                                      as someone already mentioned, the theoretical hold remains more or less the same, the more the lines drift apart, the bigger the spread between those lines becomes, its just maths, not the book winking at you on which side is the right one. books are not stupid, they wouldn't risk tipping people off on which side to bet

                                                      what other parameters have you used to choose your bets? my guess is that if you did make a profit it is just a coincidence, usually what we do is we are biased, there is a chance that if you backtested it, you picked the criteria and/or sample that would validate your system

                                                      and lets face it, this is a system, the think tank is aimed at discussing mathematical/statistical approaches to handicapping, not systems, there is no system that works, at least not in the long run, and the short run is simply called variance
