Making It Interesting (Sports Betting Thread)

That's a good question...what is value? There's nothing better than a winning bet, we all know that. What I've come to realize (vs younger me) is that no matter what you do - whether its an analytical approach, whether you're the best at diagnosing the game you're betting, whatever it is...you're go...

South Dak St. +16.5 (they lost by 17) Colo State (used a no sweat bet there only because My buddy works for them, so I'll just get that back) This is the most bets I have ever won In a day before and one time I was in Vegas for March Madness ha...

I'm actually saying that back to you. You're a computer programmer, you must have some sort of math/logic back there somewhere. This bet is bad value. You're being played.

It may win. I'm not saying that. I'm saying betting like this is fundamentally flawed.

What a big fat cover by those Long Beach goons.

9 for 9 on bets so far in march madness. Including 3 for 3 on a 12 leg parlay...$10 pays a million.

If this team was a dream team and was all alone, head and shoulders above the West...then, sure, that's fine...they're one of three teams, they're one home loss from being in big trouble in a series...he's parlaying 12 wins in a span of 12 to 21 games and only getting 3:2. It's horrendous. Now, I'm ...

The current #2 team in the West, and they have to win three playoff series...even in the circus clown league where there's only a handful of competitive teams, that's just bad value.

It's not just a player leaving - in this case it was a big player - but it's what your bosses see around you. I'm not going to excuse a two week AWOL or anything, but look at Crosby and Letang...two guys that are really working this year. Imagine you're doing everything you can to get a project back...

Underdogs across the board is a good value play today. The mean and mode of the #10 seed is out of range -- #9 seed = 61 #10 seed = 75 #11 seed = 57 #12 seed = 61 Only seeds 1-7 out-average the #10 seed.

GDT #68: Pens @ Devils

This isn't a "gotcha" because our PP is fundamentally bad. That exact combination was tried for over 12 minutes (6+ power plays) and generated: You guessed it...0 goals. (And "narrowly" outshot opponents 11 to 4 in that time) Bunting has not been tried in that combination. That combination of player...

There is literally no point in hoping to lose...I understand our pick is top 10 protected. But if that's the case, then it's our 2025 pick that goes. And we can't guarantee that will be better for us. Basically, without total control of your first round picks, you can't even root for that video game...

My theory is that after firing Hextall, the Pens didn't change any of their passwords and Ron Hextall logged in from home and submitted it on the team's behalf...we didn't want a whole union thing - you know how that can go - so we just went, "how bad could he be?
