Fishead a guy in Vegas
He Beat Vegas for 1 million dollars slots
I know his strategy..............he lurks in casino carrying a beer and is discreet and watches people lose at the slots and after they pour lots of money in the machine he waits for them to leave if it did not hit.
He proceeds to play and his stats says it will hit if you keep playing
Has all these timing statsComment -
Number Guys made a comeback since all-star break
Most in the Black nowComment -
Destroyed yesterdayComment -
Fundamentalist versus numbers guys (Computer Bob types) is a great debate. Nobody wins all the time (well maybe Sam Odom can) but it seems like players are either one or the other? Both, totally defend their style. But, a little bit of both can win as well???
Sam Odom - need to have a drink with you at the bash - you seem to be on the cutting edge of the sports guy gossip in Las Vegas?Comment -
Math guys check inComment -

I think you guys are just over thinking it.
Look at where the line opened, and where it is now. Then look at the %'s, and ask yourself what makes sense.
^only use this link for %'s not for where lines opened or where they are now. But my strategy is to take a play from a "numbers guys", and see where the line opened and closed.
If a "numbers guys" has the over of 9 and >60% of public are on over of 9. and line closes at 8.5. I will take the under with a blindfold onComment -
I am confused, why would you take it? What is the thought process behind the play? Thanks!I think you guys are just over thinking it.

DrH got destroyed and most MLB service people are quiet so I would say yes they are getting killed.
I am getting destroyed but the last thing I would call me is sharp in the MLB.
I am at 47% Win percentage and should be "fair line" at 50% (based on closed lines)Comment -
Numbers guys always come back. Always.Comment -

This is what I mean by the over thinking. Getting all caught up in overanalyzing numbers to the point not realizing that 1 number sticks out and over reading the entire thing. What do you want me to explain and I will? Think of what I said in terms of your own betting.
Fictitious Example: Boston is playing Marlins tomorrow at home and they are -200. You really love the Red Sox and you can't see them losing the game. You go on that sports insights website I showed you and you see >60% on Boston -1.5 and >60% on the money line. Next thing you know, it's 5 minutes before game time and Boston is now -180... The line is now cheaper with more people betting on Boston. Why would that ever happen? B/c someone way smarter than you or me or whoever is betting a bigger amount on the Marlins.
This is sports betting 101 and DOES NOT necessarily work or make you $ long term. But when you really look at your own emotions and others, where lines opened and closed, and %'s you can get a better feel for things. And you can take number bullshit and only use it to add conviction... not make a decisionComment -
The flipside of what I said is called "steam". It's when someone way smarter than everyone with more $ drives the line from -200 down to -180 Red Sox (making it look like "smart $" is Marlins) and then 5 minutes before the game takes Red Sox for large.
Line would look something like this: -200 Open, Driven down to -180, Closes sharply at -210 right before the game.
That's why it's not easy and they're no short cutsComment
