Value doesn't mean sh!t as long as you keep winning

[FourLengthsClear]

real story:
a guy bet on a dog +1000 which shoulda been only +700
he only has $800 on his bank roll
First 8 bets $100 each, lose. Gone broke.
Dog +1000 hits twice in a row. after that

Dogs value bet is a good strategy, only if you have balls and nerve of steel to go with it.

Betting 12.5% of bankroll per bet on 12.5% (+700) outcomes is not sensible bet sizing.
Read up on Kelly Criterion.

Value bet vs. winning bet
You know what to take

Don't tell the books that you got this game all figured out bro.

I followed your posts to understand about the value and I agree with ya on most things.
The only problem is if people keeps betting on dogs value bet such as Hawks +255 for NBA today
Case 1: they will drain their bankroll after losing couple games like that and afraid of taking any "dogs value"
Case 2: they gone broke and don't have chance to bet on another "dogs value" and to see their value bets strategy mature

You know what I'm saying pal

That's a money management issue. Dogs usually command a smaller percentage of your bankroll per play, so you shouldn't be going broke in the process.

What you really want is a winning bet with value.

AGAIN, guy is an idiot for betting 12.5% of his BR on the first bet and not deceasing his roll% after each loss.

75% of the pricks on here that preach value wouldn't know what value was if it hit them in the face. Especially the math geeks on here.

exactly. I made big dollars doint this. Just have to have the bank to back you up when you do get hit.

[madrabbit]

The most overused word in gambling: Value

No value if you get your ass handed to you

exactly. My friend says he goes for odds as in value. Why would you go for odds if it doesnt have a greater chance tho of winning. You could bet ten games for value and lose every one instead of betting on probability and winning most. Of course you can get burned but ffs use your head. I made a shit load betting on short priced favourites and anyone who says otherwise is a just a jealous ass mother fucker.


Anything is possible. You just have to be willing to risk the cash.

really you ******* dense oyster? ive made a few bets here and go and research the winning tickets you ******* moron. I reckon you bet 100 dollars a pop and youre down about 20k. Youre a joke. The ppl that know me here and not the ones that are jealous know im legit and have seen me post big winning bets that have won. You claim to be so successful but in actual fact youre a degenerate ******* loser.

[Duff85]

You call me a degenerate, but you bet on cricket without knowing the rules of the sport. In that thread - you posted about Zimbabwe opting to power play field into the 15th over - disadvantaging your bet, when in actual fact them having more fielders inside the circle should have encouraged Australia to score and was actually an advantage for you.

I'd quit while I was moderately behind if I was you. All day son.

Wow, what a start to the day. Bravo, sir.

If you bet games with value, you don't go broke. You win.

[BettingWizard]

Unless you're a ******* psychic, the "if it doesn't win" stipulation is nonsense.

[CarpeDime]

I would MUCH rather go 0-100 and lose every penny I have and be homeless, but have beaten the closing line on average, than go 100-0 doubling up every time and making $1,000,000,000,000 but have gotten worse numbers than the closing line on average

that's why I'm big time and why i get RESPECT from the sharps and nerds and modelers and phds and dorks

By definition, a value bet is a winning bet more often than not.

Exactly

By definition, a value bet is a winning bet more often than not.

Actually this is not true.

For example, if you continuously take +200 on plays that should be +150, you will only win 40% of the time but still come out ahead.
