Creating a new thread with a slightly different format for several overall improvements, mostly in terms of functionality. Initial (current) results:
22-50
-21,28 units
Please see the following thread for details: http://forum.sbrforum.com/tennis-bet...wta-picks.html
Mandatory wall of text:
I figure I should try contributing something. At any rate it will be an interesting experiment.
My thread, whose bets will be based on my perception of odds value, will feature mainly dogs, predominently match lines and some set betting. It will not include all bets I make but will only include bets I place myself. There will be no live bets posted and for obvious reasons only bets posted in this thread will count towards its progress.
Unit measurement will be in standard 1-10 format for understandability, but will only apply even numbers.
Bookmakers used: Pinnacle Sports, Bet 365, Sportingbet, Ladbrokes, Centerbet, Nordic Bet.
No 'crazy American' lines format. You'll just have to adjust to the outside world for once and learn the logical nature of decimal odds.
Simply put though, decimal odds specify total payout (stakes + winnings). Think of the decimal as a multiplier for your stakes:
Betting one unit at odds of 3.0 means the total payout is three times the initial stake (1 unit stake + 2 units profit), which would of course equal +200 in 'crazy American' odds. Betting one unit at odds of 1.5 means the total payout is one and a half time the initial stake (1 unit stake + .5 units profit) which would of course equal -200 in 'crazy American' odds. This causes evens to occur at odds of 2.0, which should (?) of course equal +-100 in 'crazy American' odds.
Please feel truly free to criticize and discuss! "Ask... and learn!", Or teach me a thing or two!
Thanks for reading!
