mine was 12 about 1.5 years ago...lot it with stupid azz duisburg

yisman · 12-05-10, 10:32 PM

under second half and texas obviously both big favorites, but I considered taking second half because I need Texas to lose anyway (everyone ahead is going to take it, basically)

but it's too random and too easy to lose.

Go USC.

I haven't been taking proper advantage of SftC betting-wise until now, but I didn't miss my chance tonight.

hasn't been doing all that well

yisman · 12-06-10, 12:21 AM

only a handful of streaks on the leaderboard not on Texas.

Cabo · 12-06-10, 12:22 AM

W5 followed by a L4, sounds about right - on to tomorrow.

yisman · 12-06-10, 12:25 AM

necro, a lot of the big faves have gone down

indy and miami today in NFL, Texas in NCAAB

it's been doing very well if you know how to do it.

revnecro1273 · 12-06-10, 12:30 AM

finally got a pick right going against a high percentage

today might be an exception...haven't been following it much lately...dude i know who fades high percentages haven't done well...especially when fading the higher percentages when they are on the dogs su...which used to be money...now not so much

yisman · 12-06-10, 12:45 AM

necro, you have some kind of obsession with percentages. That's not what I'm talking about.

Simply picking against high percentages is not profitable and won't get you a long streak, either.

I'm talking about the big favorites on SftC.

You'd be better off simply ignoring the percentages.

well in a sense it is dude...you are talking about betting against the chalk on the streak board...and 95 percent of the time the higher percentage is on the chalk

revnecro1273 · 12-06-10, 12:48 AM

basically i hate sheep...so that is why i mention percentages and i go against them...these fuks may as well move to nz so they can be with their kind

revnecro1273 · 12-06-10, 12:50 AM

betting against the oregon rb yesterday would have worked i know...90+ percent on that dude and the oregon state guy was +32.5 yards...he covered

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I can give you a dozen examples from the past week where 90%+ were on a pick that wasn't favored or was barely favored.

Most of the people picking are not picking according to odds.

Picking blindly against high percentages is not profitable.

Picking the heavy dogs posted on SftC is.

revnecro1273 · 12-06-10, 12:56 AM

think i am going to go with aston villa tomorrow...all home teams either won or drew this weekend...no away team wins...remember the other week when sunderland played chelsea that was the same scenario...and big dog sunderland won on the road

This is really wrong, most people dont even bother looking for odds, they'll just pick their favorite team so they can root for them, pick who had the better record, or just pick the higher percentage. If u actually find all the odds for each pick you will notice this.

High % =/= chalk

revnecro1273 · 12-06-10, 07:22 AM

old man is on liverpool

Optional · 12-06-10, 01:44 PM

I think your old man is turning it around.

I like Villa at home, only.

he could...but it is one of those things where he loses more than he wins...so just go against regardless is what i say

yisman · 12-06-10, 02:49 PM

btw, massive line move.

Liverpool was about -176 a few hours ago at Pinnacle. They're down to -124.

losturmarbles · 12-06-10, 03:46 PM

another thing to watch for (betting wise) is if stfc puts up a prop before there is sportsbook odds for it. sftc's opinion is usually sharper than the bookie's opening line. (especially in small markets)

MexicanStallion · 12-06-10, 06:14 PM

I'll go with the toss up of women's basketball and going with Duke.

Today, Werder Bremen +.5, had you bet it near gametime, would've been roughly -275.

91% took Inter Milan, because they're the much bigger name.

yisman · 12-07-10, 09:15 PM

Purdue was -7 tonight. But they're ranked and a big name college against a small school, so what do you get?

NCAAB (#18 Purdue @ Valparaiso): What will be the GAME RESULT?

9:05 PM

NCB
Purdue: Wins by Double Digits--In Progress
94.4%
Purdue: Single Digit Win or Loss--5.6%

yisman · 12-07-10, 09:41 PM

I picked Michigan State, but I just tried to get out of the pick.

Locked me in.

losturmarbles · 12-07-10, 10:10 PM

The Purdue game was originally listed as a straight matchup yesterday on sftc. (around 3-4 pm) I don't know when it was changed to the double digit win prop.

losturmarbles · 12-07-10, 10:32 PM

Marseille: Win or Draw is a big fav tomorrow 15% streakers

yeah dude...tools do go with the dog at times...but lately even fading that hasn't worked out so well...my favourite that did work was 2 years ago when uconn women were like 8 pt chalk against north carolina...90+ were on north carolina su...needless to say uconn won by dd...my favourite angle is to go against the high percentage when they are on the dog...not working so well lately

yup....i will be on it...will probably lose

yisman · 12-07-10, 11:13 PM

that's the reason I wanted to cancel michigan state

no sense picking them when you got marseille available

it's basically the werder bremen pick part II

road big name at a lesser known side, home side actually favored, but they get the draw option.

yisman · 12-07-10, 11:46 PM

2-0 selectively fading SftC faves.

Took Syracuse +4.5 (-110) and +165 and +170 at DSI.

Figures Michigan State would screw me again.

At least this time it wasn't a W7, I guess.

if you bet on syracuse ml, why wouldn't you have taken them for free at streak for the cash?
