And this is a true story....

 

I was overseas  at the time....I was using an offshore bookmaker called Aces Gold.....Aces Gold had a Friday night promotion "juice free"...which means you could bet any game on the point spread in the NFL at -100 instead of -110.  Just goes to show those people that theorize that bookies could still make money without a vigorish in the NFL are true.  It obviously attracted the smartest bettors on earth, as well as a slew of dumb ones.

I had returned to the USA the previous year, and Aces Gold continued on....the betting line on the Super Bowl that year was +13.5 Patriots versus the Rams at many sportsbooks if I recall correctly.

Except Aces Gold offered +14 juice free, and attracted a plethora of Patriots' money.....this proprietor of Aces Gold had made a ton of money, as bookmakers commonly do.

Now he was betting everything on the Rams covering....all he had to do was play it safe....he could have lowered his price to attract more Rams' money, or layed off his unbalanced action to another offshore bookmaker, but he took a stand on the Rams, which made himself  a gambler as well.  

Most of us know what happened as the Patriots won and covered 20-17 as double digit dogs in BB and Brady's first of many super bowl victories.

The owner of Aces Gold disappeared without paying off the winning Patriots bets to the tune of about 8 million dollars.  Aces Gold as a betting entity from that moment ceased to exist.  

Fortunately, I had gotten my money out, around a quarter of a million dollars, a year before the debacle.

What makes betting such an interesting pastime is the  effect of greed and fear that can warp our perception and rationality.....bettors and bookmakers can do things they would not do in any other part of their lives.....

most bettors have seen it first hand.

@Indigo999

 Ooof was my worst loss of all Super Bowls. I was all over the Falcons including having them on nearly every alternate spread as favorites and was watching at the Caesars Sportsbook. My buddy was up high fiving everyone and was elated at half, I kept my cool knowing who they were up against and have seen plenty in my 20 plus years of betting.

Mercy, if your a trends player. KC is your fantasy.  I have never seen more lopsided trends on 1 team. Atleast he didn't post any of them. Well stick to numbers if you like San Fran cause the trends belong to KC

Yes, the lesser regular season team most commonly covers.

A super bowl favorite with the better average against the spread margin has been 2-7 ATS.

A super bowl favorite that has per game average of between  zero and 5 points per game against the spread has gone 2-11 ATS.....if they also have the stronger average line per game this moves to 1-10 ATS (-8.91), 4-7 straight up (-3.41)

playoffs=1 and not C and F and 0<tA(ats margin)<5 and tA(line)<oA(line)

Remember from math class that the bigger negative number is actually the less strong number.

Are there too many pointers …. pointing k city way.      I had San Fran in a teaser last time they played… plus 7.5 I think… and frisco let them score with 1:43 left to get ball back and cost my teaser.   That was for a large wager for me.

Yes, every angle is on the Chiefs.....if the line was moving towards the Chiefs I would be more concerned.....those using power ratings or DVOA are all on the 49ers......which went down in flames with the Ravens and the last two games the 49ers have played.

 

I have discussed "value" before....I don't think it is valid in the NFL....typically the undervalued team covers more often than not.

FWIW

 

$$

Especially most 6 figure bets are on the 9'rs

 

All while the great % of bets is on the Chiefs

This query is based on both teams' last games' DEF efforts and it says fade SF and take KC:

PO = 1 and p:dpa - op:dpa > 18.2

SU:  15-27-0 (-4.64, 35.7%)

ATS:  13-29-0 (-4.94, 31.0%)

Z = 2.31 so the sample size is fairly reliable.  Good luck everybody.

Thank you DBW for that query.

If you add D to that query you flip the result.

PO = 1 and p:dpa - op:dpa > 18.2 and D

6-15-0 (-6.64, 28.6%)

PLAY FAV. SF?

I prefer not to query SF as a F or KC as a dog; the spread is too small.

Any playoff specific query as a F will include teams favored by 6, 7 or even 10 or more.  I don't want those query results (QRs) polluted by big favorites.  I do just the opposite for KC since it is just a small dog.  Having said that, I forgot to do what I just mentioned.

For this specific matchup I made a mistake by neglecting to add what I view as an appropriate pointspread ban for a 2-point favorite; this is a better query:

playoffs = 1 and p:dpa - op:dpa > 18.2 and -4.7 < line < 2.7  ----- This reveals how deceptively favorable that query was.

SU:  6-5

ATS:  5-6  I should NOT have posted that query without inserting an appropriate pointspread band first to make sure it's actually valid.

I suggest using "-4.7 < line < 2.7" for queries from SF's perspective and "4.7 > line > -2.7" from KC's perspective.

Killer Sports and Gimme the Dog have been working only intermittently.  Currently (about 11 P.M. Pacific Time) KS is not working to generate SB matchups but GTD is.  Usually neither has generated SB matchups late at night, so hats off to GTD.

Good luck everybody.

I would use a line between negative and positive 4 points if you're concerned about the querying a series of games where you would be generating results which would include really big underdogs.

The basic premise should be the same, which is, teams that were the less impressive during the regular season in relation to their present opponent have consistently beaten the point spread in the big game.

  a)  playoffs=1 and not C and tA(W)<oA(W) and -4<line<4

  b)  playoffs=1 and not C and tA(line)>oA(line) and -4<line<4

  c)  playoffs=1 and not C and tA(ats margin)<oA(ats margin)

  d)  playoffs=1 and not C and -4<line<4 and tS(W, N=10)<oS(W, N=10)

  e)  playoffs=1 and not C and -4<line<4 and p:playoffs=1 and pp:playoffs=1 and ppp:playoffs=1 and op:playoffs=1 and opp:playoffs=1 and oppp:playoffs=0

The results all favor the Chiefs, though not to the extent if we used underdogs only as our parameter.

We can tend to over-analyze, which, I am not naming any names, but you know who you are.....lol

  a)  playoffs=1 and not C and tA(W)<oA(W) and -4<line<4

  b)  playoffs=1 and not C and tA(line)>oA(line) and -4<line<4

  c)  playoffs=1 and not C and tA(ats margin)<oA(ats margin)

  d)  playoffs=1 and not C and -4<line<4 and tS(W, N=10)<oS(W, N=10)

  e)  playoffs=1 and not C and -4<line<4 and p:playoffs=1 and pp:playoffs=1 and ppp:playoffs=1 and op:playoffs=1 and opp:playoffs=1 and oppp:playoffs=0

The results all favor the Chiefs, though not to the extent if we used underdogs only as our parameter.

We can tend to over-analyze, which, I am not naming any names, but you know who you are.....lol

I think this is because it is so hard to REPEAT as it hasn’t been done since the Pats 20 years ago. Typically the Super Bowl loser regresses the next season as well. 

What are the trends on Super Bowl Champs defending their title the next year? 

Pats

Broncos

Boys

Niners 

Steelers x2 

Dolphins 

Packers

The playoff database goes back to 2002....with the exception of the Patriots in 203-2004, all other repeating champions are before that time,...we can deduce that a team has repeated once in the last 22 years.

The Chiefs (to the Bucs) and the Seahawks (to the Patriots) both lost in the Super Bowl in their attempt to win consecutive championships.  The Chiefs were smoked, and the Seahawks had the game in the bag in their Super Bowls.

That Russell Wilson threw a game changing endzone pick in the last minute of the game in their loss to the Patriots was a harbinger  of his career to come of numerous red zone mistakes.

Remember if you are playing a two team teaser that the implied probability of each of the two legs should be greater than a  75% success rate if you are paying -140 for the privilege(?) at a sportsbook for it to be a +EV wager.

Actually you to have both legs be at a greater than 84% of covering to make this a +EV wager.

I am sure there's probably a better way to calculate this, but a -140 teaser you would have to hit 71.56% of your teaser wagers to make it an +EV bet.

If we take .85 (an 85% chance of our bet winning) and square this, our result is .7225, which gets us over the .71.56% threshold.

Sportsbooks know what they are doing.....hitting 85% on both legs of your teaser wager over the long-term is not sustainable.

Perhaps most bettors would not care, but they should.
