    Two great value games today

    KC +100
    John Lackey is not a great pitcher, granted neither is James Shields, but I think I give the edge to Shields here. Lackey has really been struggling lately, a lot like Cliff Lee. To get KC @ +100 at home against Lackey is solid.

    Phillies +200
    Against Strasburg. Common now. +200? Strasburg? Really?
    Guess we'll see but this one doesn't make sense. Win, Lose or draw, I like the Phillies at this number.

    I'll bet you pride and ego for a day.

    KC wins, you start a thread proclaiming my greatness. RedSox win, I'll reciprocate the love. All that plus 2 points is all I have to bet.

    My first thought was if it looks to good to be true, blah blah blah.....

    But I'm just looking for value against my model, and these games have it. So do the dodgers. So I'm on all of them today. -180's don't scare me if it's a good play.

    I'd RR before I'd parlay them. But I'm not parlaying them or RR them. Just straight bets.

    I rarely try to hit a jackpot. I used to parlay everything and was always reloading. Now I look to average a unit/day. And as I've gotten older and wiser I realize that adds up quick.

    I like the KC pick, great value, but have Bal rather then SF, Bud Norris i think will shut down SF offense, and Cain gets lit for a few runs. GL kraken

    Assuming both bets are -110 (.5238) at 20c lines, no vig is +100 or .50, so true odds of both winning are (.50)(.50)=.25 or 25%

    To break even you'd need to be getting 2.9'ish:1 on your $$$ to just break even and at 5D, payout is 2.64:1 @-110

    So the play itself is actually -ev, unless the two separate bets are each +ev, then a 2-teamer can be +ev but usually -ev.

    Thanks for the math kraken...not a big math guy...I just bet..I win more that way..when people put too much math and use terms like "ev" they tend to be losers....

    When the math cappers came on the scene they did have a advantage but bookmakers have the same math guys who looking at the same stuff as the math capper and already figure in the line. The math capper have to have something that no one else know to win now...a lot of math cappers getting crushed now. Even Dr Bob had to get help as these math models getting exposed

    I understand where you're coming from. 99% of everything we have access to is already considered in the line.

    However, books balance action most of the time (not all) and don't choose a side. By doing so, they open up windows of opportunity or value for bettors that have a way to quantify their edge.

    But the good days are gone. The low hanging apples aren't so low hanging anymore. It's getting tougher. For me and I assume a lot of other guys as well, it's no longer worth the time I'd have to put in to do it right considering the payout at the end. Could I win long term? yes, have done it. Can I win enough? Probably not anymore. So I move on.

    Good points though DM. But math isn't dead nor useless and there are still angles that only math guys can exploit consistently but they've both gotten more acute ( )

    Yes you can use it to quantify your "edge" ...but math capper better have something no one know and don't tell no one or go tout
