    You've made a lot of good points in the decade that you've been here, I know, I read most everything.
    But the aforementioned quote just may be the truest words you ever uttered.

    *off topic*
    Don't you love it when in NCAA hoops, when an unranked home team, a two point unranked home team favorite beats a ranked visiting two point underdog team, and those empty suited talking heads over at ESPN's Sports Center tease their upcoming telecast with "the biggest upset of the month"

    How exactly is a, say, a 10-5 unranked Big East Providence team, as a two point home favorite beats a say, then 12-3 14th ranked road underdog Xavier team a n upset?

    You understood the game very well from the fan/analyst point of view. Even with the deep knowledge of sports, you won't get too far in sports betting because there will be too many external factors ( rigging, players, coaches, market influences etc). The bet you make would be an ideal one from your analysis point of view but market will decide differently. To beat this game, you have to find an edge that should be independent of these market forces, for example, I found gematria is the key to beat this game, at least,that's my point of view. MLB offering 160 games would be a perfect sports to exploit these market conditions using Gematria. My issues are MM and discipline. This NCAA/NFL/NHL/NBA season I'm thinking big as all of you. And I will provide my numbers end of this yr.

    Cheers!

    The unbiased approach of assigning numerical value to data/words. T-A playing T-B on road (T-A) has a clear enough better record to catch your eye as a possible pick. So you check the last 10 games they have played. Unfortunately, they have only won 5 of last 10 games so personally it would be scratch, if they had won 6, that would be a different story. It would be a complete scratch game if making a case for T-B simply cause of the record differential. Then you have teams/games where the records are very close. To eliminate silliness of going crazy volume wise you want to stick with the games when dog line is at least +120, and have won at least 5 of last 10 or they would be a scratch also. Certainly, wouldn't take the other side as in paying juice for it, that's just crazy. This works well for NHL, essentially, it's the same for all sports if the spread has value.

    When you consider there are 2,480 MLB regular season games a year that's an insignificant sample size though.

    Do you have unit tallies for each of these by chance? 41.7% sounds profitable straight up but 57% on +1.5 does not

    I see your point on this one(not much to be said for STL), but Colorado has only won 3 of the last 10. I also watched the line go from +160 to over +180

    No I hate runlines, however if you can get +1 runs instead of +1.5(alt lines) it appears it should be profitable. How far will that drop the 57% I dont know.

    Are you getting this from a website or your own calculation? OR are you just trolling? Gematria intrigues me but I've never tried applying it to Sportsbetting. I'm just curious as to how people attempt to go about it.
