is 50% good?

50% is perfect if you fade someone on the Labby.

**lilik256** · 03-13-11, 10:32 PM

I was just asking, do you make profit if you win 50% of the time?

**G's pks** · 03-13-11, 10:41 PM

at -110...what do you think?

**jsw64** · 03-13-11, 10:42 PM

Not if you make flat bets at -110-think you have to be about 53% to win at those odds. But you can win at an even less than 50% picking percentage picking winning dogs in baseball and hockey.

50% is good if your talking about your ratio of number of trips to bar/club vs number of times women brought home with you. At least it would be perfect for me.

Who says winning 50% is good? Several touts only hit that, and while it may be good for touts, it's not for a profit.

Exactly and it also depends on how much your betting on each game.

If your just flat betting at -110 then no, you will lose money.

labby

Then what is the best labby out there to use?

**c-fut** · 03-13-11, 11:56 PM

I thought you need at least 54%

**4uk4life** · 03-14-11, 12:55 AM

Depends on what you are hitting with that 50%

**Long Term** · 03-14-11, 07:39 AM

If you are running a labby line, 50% is pure gold. My dream tout for a labby would go LWLWLWLW...

**jarvol** · 03-14-11, 10:03 AM

You only need to win a little over a third of the time to win at labby. 33.4% winners and you should break even over the long haul with a labby.

**zacharyj53** · 03-14-11, 10:10 AM

Sounds like I need to get on board with this labby system.

**njphinatic** · 03-14-11, 10:44 AM

It would be a great improvement for Lang, VR, ATS and Teddy No-Covers (to name a few) but you'll lose juice unless it's baseball 'dogs or Horse Racing

**atlplayer** · 03-14-11, 01:43 PM

53.5-54% puts you at breakeven, so you decide that. However, if some of these guys hit 50%, that would be good for them.

**jsell2200** · 03-14-11, 02:22 PM

buncha f\*g answers i think

**FourLengthsClear** · 03-14-11, 05:32 PM

At -110, you need to hit 52.38% to break even.
From that perspective 50% is not good. It is nonetheless better than average. Most players are in the 48-49% range.

Not at -110. At -110 breakeven is 52.381%. 54% is way way way better than breakeven. 54% at -110 over the long-run if you bet high volume of trials and bet size properly can make you very rich.

Wow, just wow.

**VegasInsider** · 03-14-11, 05:53 PM

50% will obviously diminish your bankroll over at -110 odds and the same units per play.

52.4% puts you at the breakeven point (a couple pennies profit, actually) and if you hit 54% in a year...your bankroll will grow at a steady pace.

Forget about the ridiculous numbers that people throw out there saying they're hitting 57-60% in the long term...it's bullshit.

If you focus on hitting 54-55% over a large amount of plays...you'll be fine.

**beanbag** · 03-14-11, 05:58 PM

you need to hit something better than -110 every now and then if your hitting 50%... the juice will get ya man
