Dr. Meyer's posted line of Under 9 -110 for Tex/NYY was never remotely available anywhere.
The line opened Under 9 -120 and closed 8.5.
sportyatl - thanks for the post
In the past Dr. Ed had used -110 on all totals for the sake of simplicity with the theory being that sometimes the -110 would be better than the market, sometimes worse, but in the long run would even out. The logic behind this means that Dr. Ed’s long-term records are absolutely correct.
But, the Pregame.com standard is for the spread/odds on EVERY pick released to be widely available at the time of release. This way, the follower can be confident that his personal results following Pro Bettor picks will be AT LEAST as good as the documented results here at Pregame.
Dr. Ed will now be changing to this approach.
This is a great example of how valuable transparency is. The post in this thread brought up an issue and an improvement was identified and quickly put into place. Now we are better for it. The community plays a key role in Pregame.com’s ongoing improvement!
As always, feel free to contact me personally at tom@pregame.com if I can be of any assistance. And comments/suggestions are always welcome!
