    The chances that the points scored by a team in a game to be odd or even are the same as the chances of head and tail to come out when we flip the coin, meaning 50%. Especially in sports as basketball where the scores are high and the points occur more than one at a time. It's only a game of numbers.
    If we know and we knoe that the real probability for each outcome is 50% we can use the laws of binomial distribution to estimate the chances of events to occur in trials.
    What I mean is that if a team has 6 consecutive odd total points, the chances that the 7th game the points scored to be odd are 0.062, 62 out of 1000. More if a team has 7 consecutive odd total points the chances to get at the 8th are 0.035, 35 out of 1000. The probability doesn't become 0 after 8 or 9 consecutive odds but they are getting more closer to 0. Even at 35/1000, there still are chances to repeat, but only 35 in 1000 trilas.
    The main point is that Dallas Mavericks have 6 consecutive odd total points so if we bet total points even for Dallas the chances to lose the bet are 6.2% and Phoenix Suns have 7 consecutive odd totals so if we they will score tonight a total even the chances to lose are 3.5%.
    I didn't make any backtesting but it's pure mathematics so I'll take them as two good bets.

    I didn't make any backtesting but it's pure mathematics so I'll take them as two good bets.
    So, Dallas scored 112 (even) and Phoenix scored 76 (even).
    That payed out 1.83*2=3.66 units at my bookie.
    The records are by now:
    Wins=2
    Losses=0
    Perc=100%
     
    I'll get back later if I can find some good mathematical picks.

    I think the binomial distribution may be applied only for simple and independent results and with the condition to know their chances of occurence exactly.
    So it my work on Team total odd/even or when flipping the coin but it doesn't work on game total because this is influenced by too manny factors.
    And we can't know exactly the real probabilities for the games of one team to go over or under 5.5 or 2.5 or it's probabilities for winning the games because we don't have enough data...
    Anyway it's not a good approach for over/under and win/lose situation.

    But for odd/even, the NBA picks for tonight are:
     
    Philadelphia team total EVEN
    New York team total ODD
    Milwaukee team total EVEN
    Cleveland team total ODD
     
    See you tomorrow with the results!
    The system is 2-0 for NBA team total odd/even by now.

    My bookie is Ladbrokes.
    I don't know exactly but I think Pinnacle might offer lines for team total odd/even.
    You can also find them at Bet365 but that's british too and I don't know exactly what's their policy about accepting US residents.
    I'll search and get back a.s.a.p.

    .....Dude...
    If you flip a coin 10 times and its heads 10 out of 10 times..
    The odds of the next coinflip being heads is still 50%....

    ...Dude...
    When you have the time to do it flip the coin in 10 trials, 1000 times and note the frequency of the head and tail.
    If you can get 10 consecutive heads in a  trial of 10 just do it 1000 times and tell me how manny times do you get 10 consecutive heads or tails...
    If you do the experiment, I'll tell you that you'll probably get 10 consecutive heads or tails in 10 out 1000 cases or 107 out of 10000 cases.
    And you can even get 15 consecutive heads or tails in 2 out of 10000 times ...
    So...Dude... go away... go back to school, better...

    25 Jan. 2009 chases (next every bet I'll put the chances of losing the bet as a measure of confidence level on that pick) are:

    Boston team total ODD 31%

    Atlanta team total EVEN 31%

    Toronto team total ODD 31%

    Detroit team total EVEN 10%

    Chicago team total ODD 31%

    Golden State team total EVEN 10%

    Theoretically I should hit 4 out of 6.

    Chances of losing all 6 bets are less than 9/10000.

    Chances of winning all 6 bets are 15% so don't put them in an accumulator.

    System records by now are 4-2 (67%).

    Good luck!

    Right on Wild Card ... here is a relavent clip ...

    "Roulette balls and dice simply have no memory. Every spin in roulette and every toss in craps is independent of all past events. In the short run you can fool yourself into thinking a betting system works, by risking a lot to win a little. However, in the long run no betting system can withstand the test of time."

    Now tell me Red Dog how an even or odd score in a basketball game is dependent on past events?  Betting on the coin flip once a year on the Super Bowl is fun, but to think you can beat the house at it is purely insane.

    Oh by the way ... the chances of you losing 6 out of 6  50/50 outcomes is 1 in 64 its found in any elementary school math book.  Have fun while you are still free, because soon they will come and put you in a comfy padded cell.

    If you take every game, the odd/even is absolutely random, but events that are independent and that have no memory tend to distribute themselves randomly in a series of trials.

    The chances are for 50% for each game that the team scores odd or even points but the odd or even totals have the tendency to distribute randomly along a series. That means that is very unlikely that in a series of 20 consecutive trials to come out 20 consecutive odd or even, based on a random probability of 50%. Why don't you look back at some data to see how manny times you'll find 15 consecutive ODD points scored in 10000 games played? I guarantee you that you won't find more than 107 series.

    That is the binomial distribution of successes and failures in series and that's not being teached in elementary school.

    IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT ODD OR EVEN SCORES ARE DEPENDENT ON PAST EVENTS. THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY INDEPENDENT AND THAT IS WHY THAY TEND TO DISTRIBUTE RANDOMLY IN SERIES OF TRIALS.

    And the chances of losing all 6 bets are based on the calculated probability of losing based on the binomial distribution of successses of failures and not based on the math book on elementary school.

    And I am having fun and making money in the process. I am not forcing you to take my picks. Don't like it don't buy it, but keep your mouth shut.

    And about the padded cell, don't worry I've been there already.

    I'm afraid your little brain is sitting to comfortable in its padded cell. Shake it up a little and try to learn new things.

    My system is based on the fact that the odd or even team totals are random events, without memory, independent one from each other and at each trial their chance of occurence is 50%. And that is exactly why is unusual to come out is long series of consecutive odd or even. Being random events, independent one to each other they will distribute randomly. The same when fliping the coin. Each time you have 1/2 chances to get a head and that's why heads are randomly distributed in a series of 100 trials. You'll never get 50 consecutive heads followed by 50 consecutive tails, they will be distributed randomly, without any logic. That is the binomial distribution of successes and failures.
    That is why the theory doesn't apply to wins - losses and over-under. It's not a smart thing to chase overs / unders or wins / losse based on this theory.
    First of all, winning and losing are not random events. They depend on manny factors such as team form, opponent faced, ...
    Wins and losses do have a memory: a team in good shape can reach very long winning streaks while a team that's playing very bad can reach long losing streaks. The same thing about overs / unders: a weak offensive meating consecutively other weak offenses can generate long under streaks. For overs / unders there are a lot of factors involved so they they're not at all random events. Just take a look at some on going streaks I've seen today: longest winning streak in basketball (Montepaschi Siena, 15 wins), longest losing streak in basketball (Bremerhaven, 16 losses), longest under 5.5 hockey streak (Yaroslavl, Russia, 10 unders), longest hockey losing streak (Furuset, 13 losses), longest soccer under 2.5 streak (Amiens, France, 12 unders), longest soccer over 2.5 streak (Llanelli, Wales, 14 overs) and longest home clean sheet streak (that means no goal against and belongs to Manchester Utd. UK, 10 games with 0 goals against).
    And these aren't the longest of all times are just some streaks active today. But they are not streaks of random events. There are events that depend on manny factors.
    The system of odd / even points scored can be backtested very easy but I don't intend to backtest it because its based on scientific facts that don't need to be tested on NBA team total points odd or even. I will test it on going and post the results in this topic and make some money in the process. Nobody has to follow my picks if he or she thinks it's a stupid idea.
    The point is by now the system works 4-2 (67%) and I guarantee it will keep working all season and next season and so on.
    Its accuracy can be easily estimated so I know what risks I'm taking when I bet my picks and it goes like this:
    - 68.75% if I chase odd after 3 consecutive evens;
    - 81.25% if I chase odd after 4 consecutive evens;
    - 89.06% if I chase odd after 5 consecutive evens;
    - 93.75% if I chase odd after 6 consecutive evens;
    - 96.48% if Ichase odd after 7 consecutive evens.
    The list can continue because we will never reach 100%.

    Picks Update for 25.01.09
    I think I should play the ODD / EVEN game with the game total as well as the points scored by team. So, the picks would be:
     

    Boston team total ODD

    Atlanta team total EVEN

    Toronto team total ODD

    Detroit team total EVEN

    Chicago team total ODD

    Golden State team total EVEN

    BOS @ DAL game total ODD

    UTA @ DEN game total EVEN

    LAC @ GSW game total EVEN

    All I'm saying is it's been proven over and over that betting on red or black, even or odd, a coin flip or a basketball total ending in even or odd is going to lose in the long run.  If going 4-2 proves the binomial distribution is the answer to this age old question then its news to the whole world.  I don't seroiusly think anyone in these forums would actually consider wagering money on betting on even or odd and expect in win in the long run.  As long as you post I will feel free to respond and in no way keep my mouth shut as you put it.  Have fun dude, I'm all in favor of that, bet and post your results as much as you want.

    Please feel free to respond and don't keep your mouth shut but don't place me in a "padded cell" just because I feel free to post and enjoy it.
