Let’s talk about the Bears/Packers game. The line of Packers -3.5 is pretty damn interesting. There are several factors that Vegas had to deal with in making the line, the most important probably being that essentially every one and their mother seems to bet the Packers. I’ve brought this example up a few times on [...]
And you know who you are…sean is lighting it up. If you look at Sean’s picks it is amazing how common sense his approach is. Talking about jets/bears over, “too much talent on the field here to not score.” Discussing the Packers, “Green Bay, IMO, is just TOO good to NOT make the playoffs.” So [...]
For those of you interested the Matrix site was wrong with its Wash St pick. I opted not to bet with the site before the game. The runners of the site note that they tend to struggle more during the early parts of the year because the formula they use relies heavily on current year game results, [...]
First things first on a few issues. The random Matrix web site hit the money with the Samford pick. Well done! So I won 15 bucks betting against a team that up until yesterday I didn’t know had a Division I program. People might call that a little nutty to be betting money on something like [...]
Continuing project from a few days ago. Going back to the results of the first set of games we picked…Illinois 73 Yale 47, UTEP 73 New Mexico St 56, Santa Clara 87 N Colorado 84, Kentucky 74 Washington 67, Texas Tech 103 Georgia Southern 79, UC Davis 61 Sacramento St 54. Home team is in [...]
New project. I am going to take half a dozen games chosen at random from college b-ball, note the line, and note how far off Vegas was. I am just curious enough to do this, let’s get this started and hope I don’t puss out on this after a day or two. I’ll include games [...]
I went to the site today because I thought Allen had said that he had posted about a big 4 or 5 team teaser he had and hit last week, and I was going to rank on him for backposting on kooky bets he places that actually hit. How often do you see someone making [...]
I am going to post whenever I see a game where I feel there was a potential precedent set at some point. They will be called Maxim games. The Maxim scenario here involves… Team A is a very strong team playing at home. Team B is their even more talented opponent. Team B is so [...]
Good work, Allen. I don’t mean on the picks, but on getting crap down on the site. Any outsider reading Allen’s posts may be potentially blown away by the in-depth knowledge Allen has for such a seemingly random team as William and Mary. He refers to them multiple times as “The Tribe.” Did anyone else [...]
1) I do not have long term betting experience with soccer, but regardless, this week is the first time I have ever seen a soccer total goals scored line of 3.5. And it seems pretty deserved with Chelsea v Stoke City. This could honestly be Chelsea v X, Drogba looks flat out dominant at the [...]
