exactly!
the idea of going for the "value" line also incorporates picking winners. It just takes it one step farther--most all successful 'cappers make their own line.
My line today shows Cinci and Mets both -120 (favorites to win), and since they are slight dogs, there is value today and I'm betting them. I handicapped SF as -125 favorite to win, and that is not far from the betting line, so no value and I ain't taking it.
Tho sometimes a -200 I handicap out to -250 and will lay it, because of the value. Tho it isn't as common finding value on -200 lines...

I'm asking these conspiracy theorists to provide some data and none can do it.

Some people aren't cut out for this gambling business, and well, Sparky, your oblivious nature is a prime factor.

#28 Posted: 8/13/2010 3:01:35 PM The oddsmakers don't play the games boys.
It's simple you have a 50/50 chance of winning your wager, no matter what if you are with the consensus or against them. The good teams win 100 games a year, that means they lose 62. It's all about gaining an understanding for feel, analyzing stats, playing streaks and after all of that, anything can still happen. I love all the :MOOSE: talk lately, highly entertaining.
All of this talk is horse hooey.
Some are more lucky than others but bad beats are a part of it as well and we have all been on the side of both. |

Idontgamble, by any chance...would you be willing to sell your picks to me? I think I can make a lot of money fading you. |

How about do your homework and pick a winner with value?
[Quote: Originally Posted by hammer22] yeah theres also value when a

at +225 Pirates can lose a majority of these games and you'd still be plus units. Depends on the value after you do your homework handicapping all the variables. +225 isn't automatically value--the value is decided on the valid line you produce vs. the bookies line.

SO TRUE..LAST NIGHT FOR ME WAS THE DODGERS MY BOOK HAD LA -130...THAT DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENCE AT ALL....VS A PHILLY TEAM THAT WAS 27-7 THERE LAST 34 AT HOME AND THE DODGERS AS A FAV...WELL IN THIS CASE IT BACKED FIRED BUT FOR THE MOST PART THAT GAME WINS 9/10 UP 7 WITH TWO TO PLAY |

#40 Posted: 8/13/2010 6:53:22 PM You all give Vegas too much credit for trying to being to deceptive. Vegas sets a line that you THINK is wrong so you think it is a trap. NO that is what the line should be according to the Line Makers. Who are Vegas anyway? They are a group of hundreds of individual sports books who do not all get together and say let’s set a trap. Wake Up they set a line they believe is right and the people think it is wrong and think Vegas is up to something. |

#41 Posted: 8/13/2010 8:11:36 PM There is only value when you win regardless of what the line is. So you can't be talking value before a contest is decided. After the contest is completed and you're on the winning side then and only then you can boast that you had value on your side.
Of course anyone would like to be a gambler that has great success in picking a high pct. of dog winners but that is really not realistic in the long run and so one has to have a mixture of picking dogs as well as favs.
The only thing that really matters is that where do you stand overall...are you losing or are you winning.
If you are losing overall you need to make adjustments but if you're really in a very deep hole the best thing for you would be do hang up your jock straps and retire from gambling however if you are winning you keep doing what you're doing but you must realize there are numerous other systems to employ that can keep you staying ahead in the long run as long as you gamble.
The sad truth though is that majority of gamblers worldwide are overall losers and only a tiny pct. are winners overall.

You can only win if you make bets that are good value. 
Betting baseball is like betting horse racing. That is why I love it, and why it is a mystery to many.  |

Yeah, what would IDONTgamble say if Papelbon didn't suck and give up those runs.
It's dumb to only show up AFTER the game is played and talk about what strategy they "used" to win the bet.
Look at the matchup, pick the winner, if the win, you win money.
That's what it all boils down to.

i care none about the public, but lines that make little sense and attacking them like you said will be profitable in any sport.
