  • Johnathan Detroit requested I start this thread so there would be a one stop shop for any math related questions having to do with sports betting.  These can include:

    Props pricing

    Futures pricing

    Teaser value

    Hedging

    Moneyline/Win % conversions

    Whether it's better to take the money-line or run-line in a given situation.

    Any others you might think of.....

    There will no doubt be some questions I don't have the answer to, but I'll try my best.  Fire away

    You want a handicapping tip?  Spend as much time getting a good number as you do researching games. Depositing/withdrawing/depositing/withdrawing is a bitch, but I guarantee you will lose less, or win more.  I can't guarantee that for any other piece of advice 

    "There is no such thing as luck, just random fluctuations of probability"

    CBB: 64-39 (+42.78)

    NFL: 34-41 (+15.46)

    CFB: 21-22 (-4.5)

    Other Stuff: +12

    2011 Fiscal Year: +24.04

    Pending Futures:

    4* Mitt Romney to win election (+700)

    Overall: +84.33

  • Really looking forward to this thread.  Can't think of any questions right now, but rest assured I will be back with some and just to look at all of the info you give out to others.

  • Lloyd, I have a dime on Giants 22-1 to win the Super Bowl. My average wager is $500-$2000, endless on middles (will max out across the board). Since this is well beyond my average bet limit, what would you suggest in regards to a hedge? I believe if a wager is a ton or nothing, it is worth a small hedge.

  • I find that your thread will be vital during the baseball season between betting straight up and with run lines.  Thanks in advance for all of your help
