This has been and is one of the most informative threads on pregame. Thanks to everyone involved for keeping it going.
Shay I have an idea as to why your record in the NBA playoffs was not as strong as your MLB record. I watched the matchbook lines for the NBA finals games and compared them to Las Vegas lines. The line movements were nearly identical in both their timing and direction of movement. With the NBA finals being such a high profile series, it was almost impossible to find any edge between matchbook and Las Vegas. I imagine this was the case for most of the NBA playoffs... HOWEVER I doubt this is the case for regular season MLB. These games do not generate nearly the same amount of attention as the NBA finals, and if one has enough outs, he is bound to find some significant edges in his MLB wagers. Since so much of successful MLB wagering is centered around getting a good number, this is where using matchbook is most effective.
Everyone feel free to chime in and let me know if my logic was flawed or if you agree. Thanks again guys.
