    4 games on the radar for week 8 so far with opening totals close to key numbers that are moving in the right direction

    TB/ATL, SF/STL, CIN/PIT, and SD/BAL

    thank you guys

    there is obviously some haters, but numbers don't lie

    Kfrantz, you point out something that has definitely caught my attention...and that's utilizing this method along with teasers to cross more then one key number to effectively make one play an even stronger play by completely manipulating two totals entirely into your favor, all while getting the same odds/juice as a straight bet on one qualifying game.

    I'd feel very confident when teasing a total past two key number to achieve a desired result. The only major concern is the exposure you get in having to cover multiple games, however, it can technically save your @$$ in certain circumstances.

    If you were to do it, I wouldn't do more then a 2 team teaser. Think of it like a wong teaser ATS, except teasing the total past identified key numbers to manipulate the desired outcome.

    ***********

    Just for fun, and for numerical data....let's look at some opening totals and tease them 6 points past TWO key numbers, not just ONE, to see what ends up happening week 9 to determine if its worthwhile to add to the method

    ***THIS IS NOT OFFICIAL, JUST FOR GENERAL RESEARCH***

    Right now based on incorporating teasers into this method, these games qualify:
    CLE/CIN - open at 47, but dropping to 45.5 in most books - tease 6 pts up to 51.5 to play under as you cross 49 and 50...or you can tease it down to 39.5 and play over as you would cross 40 and 42
    OAK/PIT - open at 48 and consistent across most books, teased up 6 pts to 54 - play under as we crossed 49 and 50
    STL/MIN - open at 40.5 (THIS IS ALREADY A REAL QUALIFIER FOR THIS WEEK) teased down 6 pts to 34.5, play over as we crossed 40 and 35
    MIA/BUF - open at 44 and consistent across most books, teased down 6 pts to 38 - play over 38 as we crossed 40 and 42
    GB/CAR - open at 46.5 and consistent across most books, teased up 6 pts to 52.5 - play under 52.5 as we crossed 49 and 50
    ATL/SF - open at 45.5 and consistent across most books, you can tease this one either way 6 pts up to 51.5 and play under, or down to 39.5 and play over...as you'd cross 49 and 50 playing under or 40 and 42 playing over
    NYG/TB - open at 47 and rising at most books mostly 48, teased 6 pts up to 54 - play under 54 as we crossed 49 and 50
    DEN/IND - open at 45 and consistent at most books - this one can also be teased either way down to over 39 or up to under 51, as you would cross 39 and 40 or 49 and 50
    PHI/DAL - open at 44.5 and consistent at most books, this can also be teased either way down to over 38.5 or under 50.5

    I'm interested to see how this pans out - I'm not officially advocating plays on any of these, so if you chose to take action, do so at your own risk. I simply want to see what % of these teased totals end up covering week 9.

    There is technically 13 different plays listed above

    2-0 on the teaser selections...both sides hit either way they were played for CLE/CIN. Looking pretty good thus far.

    it will be interesting to see how it plays out.....i was just considering teasing the optimal plays...because there is always one that goes against all theories....and two teamers is the best option for sure...good luck this week

    even so, it does not matter. a line opens at x. the closing number is y. if you look anywhere for research, y (the closing number) is considered the sharpest line possible, agreed? almost all sharps try to beat the closer. so what are you doing here?

    you are not trying to beat a closer here, you are accepting the closer and saying the opening line is sharper. noone would say the opening line is sharper.

    to compare this to wong is ridiculous as well because wong goes on closers only. why only closers? because that is a true line. if it opens at +7.5 and closes at 6, that is not even close to a wong.

    now this guy seems nice and trying to be helpful. not selling anything nor can he since he said how to form a bet. I'm not trying to put him down, I'm just stating my opinion, which almost all sharps would say is a fact.

    I am not comparing anything to wong...I simply said using the method on a teaser would be similar to wong in stating it has to cross two key numbers similar to crossing 3 and 7. I simply want to see what ends up happening when using it with teasers as I stated.

    Play with me or fade me.....I don't care either way. If you faded so far this season, you've lost money.

    I agree the goal in sports betting is to repeatedly beat the closing number. I guess the idea here is that the market made a mistake by crossing key numbers. I agree it is unlikely the market is getting it wrong but I don't know that the NFL betting market is perfectly efficient either.
    The person who 'backtested' in this thread missed important criteria and i think that is irrelevant anyway. Whether or not this method worked over some NFL games in 1989 doesn't mean it will or not in future games.
    With regards to teasers, I think they lose their value with totals and are more effective only on team sides.
    It's very likely we've run hot in this thread so far, but it's a fun sweat. GL Mcgeezer.

    the teaser part is just for fun mainly...but also to see if crossing two key numbers on two games creates any additional value

    Had an extra $20 in my Bovada account, so for the hell of it, went with 6 selections for the teasers noted above @ +600 and gave it a whirl. Tried doing a screen shot of the ticket but it wouldn't work for whatever reason. Copied the text from ticket instead....

    bad day at the office.....1-2 today, and the last one hurt the most because the under on NYG/TB was basically locked until 3 seconds left into the game and that BS fumble for a TD to go over by half a freakin point. Should've been a positive day.

    18-10 overall (64.3%) and 20-10 (66%) on qualifiers

    I think the lesson learned when using this with teasers is that it is a much stronger play on overs crossing two numbers....nonetheless, there is still 7 winning sides in the picks posted and one still pending tonight.

    I agree with that, was assuming he made a mistake and nothing malicious but he can speak for himself. I'll see myself out.

    it's an honest mistake...and yes to correct my prior statement, I went 0-3, record is 17-11.
