Laid -187 with LAD.......hoping to scalp later

Fishhead · 08-03-09, 08:29 AM

Actually, it may only be a dream of catching +197 or more........

Fishhead · 08-03-09, 08:34 AM

If anyone thinks they see value on any game at Matchbook, let me know.

Thanks,
FH

Your dreams consist of 1.187% arbs? Wow.

FYI, scalping that wager would be -EG unless the +197 were +EV. Although, I forget that you scalp NBA props for $25 profit...

You have no idea what my entire wagering day consists of on an average day...............especially when I was in my prime.

NO IDEA

If you have nothing positive to say, stay out of my threads.

Fishhead · 08-03-09, 08:43 AM

Nice, Matchbook just spiked up to +202 on the Milwaukee!!!!

Only a little over $500 in the kitty though..........need more than that.

Fishhead · 08-03-09, 08:45 AM

I tell ya what, for a FREE service, SBR LINES is very good.

jayc88 · 08-03-09, 08:47 AM

sbrlines is fast at updating matchbook lines , but pinny lines are a bit delayed

Robust · 08-03-09, 08:49 AM

I've tested this with my own offers.........

My offers at Matchbook hit the SBR LINES service in approximently 11 seconds............that's not bad for a free service.

Well, I hope you have $10k on the Dodgers then so you can see your dreams fulfilled, scalp it, and turn that whopping $118 profit. LOL.

Obviously, you're WELL past your prime, pal. Maybe you should consider retirement.

I just got back from playing poker at the Wynn and am waiting until the M sportsbook opens to go place a couple more MLB wagers. Thanks for asking. Odd that you would care.

Grabbed only 300 of this.........wish I would have grabbed it all, as we may not see anywhere close to +202 or higher again.

Looking at SBRLINES, it shows BALT having recieved 51% of the total wagers............very rare for a dog of more then +200.

FH

PS- I have a small play on Balt at +240..........wish I would have did better.

Robust · 08-03-09, 09:19 AM

cubs -128 at matchbook looks to good (to me).. rlm though.. 67% on the cubs and the line drops 10c..

-127 now at matchbook.. other books are going UP (-131, -133, -135, -140).. wtf???

Line is coming down.........

Look at Pinnacles line history, down.............Matchbook, as you know, is usually a good indicator of where the line is moving.

I have a few scattered wagers on this match-up, from a few overnight lines.

Robust--thanks for posting helpful and meaningful posts........good stuff.

Thanks,
FH

He gambled on a line, so it´s not really a scalp, but you make it sound like the whole concept ain´t worth it. That´s not true, if you know your stuff it is profitable.
Matchbook often gives a good idea of the direction that a line will most probably take.

Aren´t you a bit harsh with FH here?
At least he started a thread about sports betting...

MonkeyF0cker · 08-03-09, 09:33 AM

Amazing how primitive the wagering methodolgies are of some people who garner respect from the masses of idiots on this site. At one time, I actually thought Fishhead had a clue in sports wagering. Obviously, things have passed him by...

Zelda · 08-03-09, 09:36 AM

Scalpers are often very smart people, i would be careful with your judgements.

Just do a search on on his posts........you will quickly find out that he has severe self-esteem issues, as most of his posts involve talking smack to an array of posters.

Having been around forums for ten years now, you will always have trolls like these..........the good thing is that the GOOD POSTERS out number these characters at a 100-1 clip, and that's what makes this and other forums terriffic.

My point was that it may be profitable to scalp but it doesn't maximize growth unless your buyback is +EV and even then you likely wouldn't be fully scalping. It's an antiquated methodology. And I really don't care too much about sports betting threads since 99.999% of them are of no use to me.

If you understand the concept of statistical arbitrage, you'd realize how counter-productive that would be.
