    Gentlemen,

    As most of you probably know full well, I am anything but confrontational here (or in life), but someone posted something that I believe can be very detrimental to anyone who may be just starting out in Sports investing, or maybe even someone who has been on a 'Cooler' and is tail-spinning with their bankroll, and give any credence to the idiocy that was posted a short time ago.  So, I could not help myself, and replied hoping to counter balance the potential ill effects of someone reading that garbage.  I will post my reply to that thread here, just in case someone read that trash and was in a vulnerable state of mind.  The thread is titled "Great advice from Sportswagers.He knows his stuff"  You don't need my permission to think for yourselves, but I would implore you to use simple common sense logic in deciphering what makes most sense to you.  Anyway, I did my part in trying to help... As always, BOL 2 ALL

    I could not disagree with you more Sir.  You don't know me, I don't know you, but I am a living breathing testament over the long, long term that the information you are providing here is not only incorrect, it can potentially cost some unsuspecting 'players' money fairly quickly.  Though few on here truly know me, and my story, I ABSOLUTELY KNOW, as surely as I know I am typing this reply, you are completely wrong to your core.  I am non-confrontational in this Forum, BUT I have gotten to know a few people on here recently, and am concerned that your, seemingly, well laid-out theory will actually convince even one person on here to bet straight dogs--a mistake.

     

    I personally play short dogs, and some heavy Favs, but rarely--though I do at times--play long dogs.  I cap on a season (NHL) basis of 58-63%, the last time I finished outside that realm was well beyond 15 seasons ago, when I began recording and keeping record of my plays/stats.

     

    The truth to the matter is that this 'system' of thought you are laying out here is a 'Lazy man's ideology', pure and simple--effectively cutting out 50% of the potential plays that are, more often than not, winners.  This is no more correct, nor accurate in saying you should ONLY play favorites, you should ONLY play Under on all 6 goal O/Us, Over all 5 goal O/Us, ONLY play a fade when a team lost 4 straight, jump on last years playoff teams each time they win 2 straight.  Sir, I have heard, and seen, them all.  The ONLY correlating similarities in every single one of them is that are present is that it derives from a man's mind that is either too confused to contemplate ALL aspects of the available games and needs to shorten his 'scope', or just too lazy to put real work in to beat the book.  

     

    Take the potential world's greatest pitcher that is told early on that high velocity fast balls are not worth throwing b/c many of them are hit for HR's and lose games--you are automatically eliminating everything over 85 mph, as you are doing in this frail argument.

     

    I thank God that I was taught the ropes correctly early on, and had not been infected by this type of limited thought process, but surely hope that I was ALWAYS smart enough to not of fallen victim to it.

     

    FACT: There are values at any level of line.  Using an actual game I capped, and won recently... I ran the analytics, simulations, research, and I concluded that I had a 74% chance of getting a return on my investment (wining my ticket).  The line was -130.  Given those numbers.  Now the only question is whether or not my calculations are correct.  Given 15 years of statistical data, I know I have up to a 3% statistical variance.  So let’s go with 3% negative sway to my figures, that means I would lose this play (the sport no longer matters, it is now simply a statistical proposition) 29%, and win 71% of the time.  Now, all I care about is that my figures are correct, and no longer concerned if I win, or lose, this particular play.  As long as my figures are correct, there will be swings both ways in my route to say…1,000 plays that fall into this percentile.  So, I play 1,000 (@$130 per for instructional purposes) of these tickets (in a variety of sports) and win 710, and lose 290 of them.  NOTE: I am not concerned about the 10 straight I win in this bracket, nor of the 10 straight I lose.  It will all even out to winning between 710 and 770 of these plays, but we are using the bottom end for instructional purposes (710).  So, I win $100 X 710 (= $71,000), and lose $130 X 290 (=$37,700).  And you are telling me that I should just write these (favorites) off?  Good thing I did not run into you, nor the “Guru” who “knows his stuff” long ago, I surely would have had to of worked a “Real job” throughout my life, lol.

     

    In short, and once more, I am non-confrontational here, and in my life, but you are sprewing untruths that have been spawned, clearly, by someone who knows not what the hell he is talking about, and obviously has you bamboozled into thinking he is a Sharp.  I can only hope you believe me, for your sake, that he is definitely NOT a sharp.  I personally know some of the top handicappers on planet earth, and NOT ONE of them would agree with word one of your post.  It simply makes no sense, but unfortunately, someone is probably going to read it and follow it, to their own peril.  I give people the benefit of the doubt, and will just chalk this up to you being someone who has been shammed, and you mean only to help, but you are not helping Sir.  Most of the people on here, if they are honest about it, they lose more than they win, and bad information will only perpetuate those losses, so I could not sit back idly by and not sound off in hopes that someone who might of bought into this crock will think again. 

     

    No matter what, I wish you luck, and all the best going forward.  Note I will not be back to counter any replies, I spent more time than I have on this reply.  Good day Sir.

    7NLN7,

    I agree with your philosophy for sure but how do I get the analytics, simulations and research without waiting the next 15 years to obtain data.  Is there a formula or a stat program you came up with?  I want to be in on those plays with a 70 to 79% chance of winning.

    I wish I were smart enough to give you a 2 paragraph instructional on doing so, but the truth is that the information needed to be conveyed could fill a full hard cover book.  In all candor, I have been doing this for a long time--the 15 year period is simply when I started saving/storing my data.  I apologize that I can't give you a better answer here.  I recommend you be a glutton for information--which is sooo much easier to do today w/ the internet than what it was back in the day.  Keep a journal, recording your reasoning for making this/that play, and then post-cap any/all losses--don't stop until you find 3 credible items of info that might have swayed your play (NOTE: not every losing play was a bad play, sometimes it was just an improbable occurrence, but post-cap until you feel you got to the bottom of it)... hope this helps

    Dude, I've been doing sports betting off & on for the past 16 years & I'm STILL learning new stuff every day.  For stats there are plenty of sites out there to get those from, most are free, some you have to pay for.  For small-time wagerers like me, most pay sites aren't worth it since I can't make back my investment during the subscription time.  Put the stats in spreadsheets and analyze away, just don't split up your samples so small that the results may look like they have meaning but don't.  That's what makes NFL hard to do.  Personally I do best in MLB & now NHL due to the larger available sample size.

    I've used a pay site's stats to figure out how to make in College football, spreadsheeted several years' results, parsed them & figured out what they're doing so now I can come up with my own new plays.  My CFB picks aren't for everyone since they are VERY high probability % winners but come with high juice where you need to be careful about still finding a value edge.  I don't care what the % winning is as long as there is a long-term edge.  A couple years ago I played pretty much all MLB dogs (mostly small dogs) for half a season & netted over 40 units.  After awhile, I decided my heart couldn't take that sort of excitement for too long though, with days of no wins (I don't think I ever had a losing week though)!

    Hardtimes~

    What "hardtimes", man? Sounds like that you are on top of your game. 

    Good job and good for you.  


    7s~

    Great stuff, as always.

    When you do the "post-cap" analysis, what are you looking for?

    And do you go to the usual sites where you do your pre-game capping?

    Are Covers' post-game "recap" blurbs are useful?

    Anything and everything that I could have/should have paid less/more attention to (i.e. goalie tendecies, opposing team trajectory, Puck Possession analytics, SF%, SF, SA for either/both teams, match up strengths/weaknesses, and more) ... It is not uncommon that I spend more time post capping than I did Capping the game... once more, I have to get to the bottom of it to walk away knowing it was a good play that the improbable happened in, or I could have/should have done something different and not likely to repeat the error....

    7s~

    Ok, excellent. Thank you.

    Hardtimes75  mentioned that it would not be worth paying for a quality capper to make picks for one, but how can that be for an inexperienced capper?

    Let's take Swish Analytics as a case in point:

    https://experts.covers.com/Handicapper/Swish_Analytics

    They've been consistently winning in the 58% to 70% range, which is a profitable range.

    Subscribing to their service now (for the rest of the NBA season & playoffs) would require an investment of around $650.

    If one bets, say, $500 each bet -- and many, many cappers in Covers do bet those amounts and more -- it would take only two extra winning bets to fully cover the investment into Swish Analytics for the rest of the season.

    Swish posts numerous plays each day and wins absurd numbers of them, especially given the sheer numbers of their plays in a league that's as tough to bet in as the NBA.

    It would take YEARS of effort and losses/wins of many thousands of dollars for a capper to reverse-engineer the picks of the pro cappers to reach the point of not needing their services, yes?

    One could amortize the cost of buying a capping service and spread the cost over the whole season and count that cost as extra juice if one wants, but that would not be an accurate reflection of the true ROI of investing into a good capper service.

    So, I don't see how investing into a good capper system, like Swish, would not be a good investment for a capper who does not have the full repertoire of capping tools that one needs to be successful in this brutal biz.
