    It’s the same with the flow of money. If you can discover less popular, more predictive ways to watch the money flow, you will have an edge on information and a very dangerous edge on the marketplace. This is where the ‘how you use your information’ really comes into play. This takes a lot of experience but should get everyone thinking…



    When this was posted the overall record was 11-3. It looks like the marketplace did indeed catch up here. There is a lot to learn from the preseason results alone; a lesson in money management for one.

    A    t 11-3 or 12-2 it’s easy to see many bettors increasing their wagers. A nasty stretch comes and look at what happens to them…at 50-50 they are down much more than the vigorish paid. Many bankrolls have fallen to this folly.

    The reverse can also be true. A losing streak hits so bettors pull back and bet less. When the win streak comes, they don’t get what they deserve. In this case, it could be better to make less plays, as opposed to betting less per play.

    Simply put, and I’ve posted something like this before, jiggling bet size will change the breakeven point, and usually not for the better.

    Not to hijack the thread, but the Forum could ask themselves…Any other lessons that can be gleaned from preseason results alone? In my opinion, this is actually a good exercise. The closer you pick apart the results, the more you can learn. Some secrets you keep for yourself.

    I have said more than once that a 50-50 bettor is close to breaking out to be successful. Of course, 44 plays aren’t many, but this thread presents a good start. Weed out some losers, find a few winners and…well you know.

    Combining the flow of money with other handicapping methods can really up a bettor’s game.

    It takes work to be a consistent winner.

    Good work MattE. Keep tracking.

    spot on KVB. with the record it had going into the last week of preseason no surprise how it ended. with this basically tracking when the books win and lose, if the info is correct, do you think the books try to give some back in the last week before season starts in hopes of boosting up the egos of bettors for the season?

    it means whatever you pick as your best bet counts as 2 units instead of 1. seems like everyone is picking ne as their best bet. just take miami and thank me later.

    no im not posting them before game. less free time recently. you know the concept of the thread so its easy to figure out which ones will be eventually posted. just tracking it to see where it ends out at. so far it looks like its telling that same story vegas always tells. you will hit around 50% but the vig will eat you up. keep an eye on the *** plays. those are still hitting good for now.
