    The thing that I don't get it, but I haven't been paying attention to everybody's thread, is if you hit your goal you really aren't winning any money, because you're playing such heavy favorites.

    yes that is the thing with it
    I make money at about 64% and am shooting for 68% which is a really good return

    I bet $3792 each unit 34 units $128,928
    2.3 units up is $8721
    I was hoping for a 5% ROI
    and with those numbers I think that gives me a 6.9% ROI
    but as we all know I still have a month to go!

    Great job with a sample size of 34 games and if all you wanted to win was 2 units you did great but something like this only needs one bad run like a 12-22 which is possible then it will take you a very long time to maybe get even. It worked and you won a little but please don't pad yourself on back as being super sharp. Best of luck moving forward.

It's something people have been trying to do for 100 years and unsuccessful I might add. Just an opinion and I do wish you well but how much are you willing to risk to win a couple of units.

    Sorry for the double post

    yes exactly 34 games, I will need a way bigger chunk to consider it "good" in my eyes. and my math is bad I actually had more units and my win amount was smaller but I am too lazy to do the actual math on the odds but its roughly half that in roi I think LOL

    using units I actually bet that amount each game so it is rought guess 1.9u so 3792/1.9 so guessing 2000 grand a unit
    with 2.3 units up is $4600, $4600 is about a 3.5% ROI and yes that is not bad for someone that knows nothing about baseball or booking

    As OT pointed out, the problem is all your numbers are completely irrelevant because of the incredibly insignificant sample size.

    Citing any sort of ROI, record, or unit gain is pointless. It tells you nothing other than you happen to be up X amount right now.

    you should just continue with this years baseball thread to make things easy , no ?
  • GoatsGoats Head Moderator
    edited May 2018
    Agree with jets. Please post these in your main thread. You can separate out the two types of plays but they should be in the same place.

    Thanks.

    As an aside, there really is no point in mentioning bet sizes, $ amount won, etc. There's a reason records are kept in units.

    I keep all my records in Units and really we all know the SDQL plays are completely seperate from the "real" baseball plays I make everyday using my model. It would be confusing to anyone who cares which is probably no one to keep 2 sets of records when they would not know the difference in the 2 types. I think if I am going to to do anything it would be best to just stop the other thread and just continue this one. Please tell me exactly how you want me to do it and I wll gladly follow your rules to the T, thanks

    I think it's pretty simple and clear to post two sets of plays in the same thread. I suggest something like this...

    Model Plays
    BOS +105
    NYY -120

    YTD: 0-0-0, +0.0u

    SDQL Plays
    ATL -115
    PHL +150

    YTD: 0-0-0, +0.0u

    We just wouldn't want every poster to start multiple threads for the same sport. If you'd rather stop posting the model plays, you're certainly welcome to, but that part is your call.
