#1 Posted: 4/17/2012 3:12:35 PM I know it isn't setting the world on fire right at about 59%, but would you be happy with it?
2008: 64-51
2009: 72-40
2010: 76-54
2011: 72-53
Single units across the board is a +6620 net. |

I've tried reducing it multiple ways, trying to improve the percentage (or at least keep it the same) but I haven't been able to do so.
I'll ride it this season and see if it holds up moving forward. |

It is. However, my dumb behind was always trying to tweak it to improve the % and it usually failed.
Gonna ride it this season and hope I hit the average. |

Whats your number then dude? 59% is 59%. Actually 59% with higher volume means more profit. This isn't like poker where more tables could mean a decreased rate of return. There are like 55 bettable games a week during the CFB season. Between 110 and 130 a season, 15 weeks + bowl season (which usually because of the space between games could increase your number by 15 or more) is still only about 6-8 games a week during the regular season. If he sees an angle why would he not play it just because its over his 3rd bet.
What's your win % if you don't mind asking. Some people just refuse to give credit where credit is due. Betting the same number of units, even if you're picking 2/3 winners on your 3 plays a week, he's still crushing you in overall profits picking at his volume. |

#16 Posted: 6/8/2012 6:47:09 AM what's up VB - you're smart enough to know 59% long term (5-10+ years) with any quantity is great...if maintained ahead of the games, if it's a system where you're looking at a set of games based on certain system factors somewhat after the fact then that's not the same, look forward to the analysis and picks, BOL this season bud
t rav - good point about the volume versus %...sometimes folks get caught up too much in percentage as opposed to net units based on a true 1 unit wager for all...40-20 sounds great and is...you can make the same amount (+18) though if you go 128-100..whatever works for your style in maximizing profit |
