Math Boys : How much of an 'edge' is 15c on a 175 closer

[Sam Odom]

Team A closes ML -175

Someone got it at -160

Edge?

If any...

Thanks

175/275 = 63.6%
160/260 = 61.5%

Edge = .636/.615 = 1.03%

Need if these are 20cent spreads? 10? 30?

Sammy you are better than this

[Sam Odom]

175/275 = 63.6%
160/260 = 61.5%

Edge = .636/.615 = 1.03%

LT , you are underpaid whatever the amount

Sammy you are better than this

No I'm not

This is true, I went with his stated lines as the implied odds. You are supposed to use the no-vig lines.

175/275 = 63.6%
160/260 = 61.5%

Edge = .636/.615 = 1.03%

My bad, edge would be 3%. It is the figure after the decimal and you should take it out a few more spots. In this case, result is 1.0341 so it is 3.41%

But in reality, you are supposed to compare your ACTUAL -160 to the NO-VIG closer.

I take back what I said in post #4

Team A closes ML -175

They won 2-1 so I guess the edge was 100%

Sammy if you did not get line at +171 or better and -170 was closer its a - EV PLAY

Not talking about scalping here.

Line of +160/-175 would be 37.6%/62.3% (no juice)

-160 (or 1.625) @ 62.3% = 1.23% edge

sammy wanted to sound smart to someone else saying what % edge he had.

sammy has no clue and does not care what a 1.23% edge means

Thats not scalping

Thats a +EV winning play long term if you make enough of them

[Sam Odom]

1.23% edge is good

Casino's edge on passline craps 1.41%

Give me an edge of 1.23% on every bet I make then I could bail Brock Landers out in about a year

[RudyRuetigger]

sammy be honest, were you just trying to impress someone else by knowing your edge???

[Sam Odom]

Rudy , I thought I asked a question

[RudyRuetigger]

i know

my question is:

you asked here, so when you told a friend you got -175 at -160 youd look like a genius

[Sam Odom]

Rudy relax

just take it at face value

Brock spent a lot of time with Fishhead. Why couldn't he grasp this concept?

[Rich Boy]

1.23% Edge on a -160 is very profitable

Not soo much at +700
