    so CLV is the same as W-L it can be luck and if it can be luck than it is not a good measure of skill. I think its the best measure we have but its not a true indicator, I would not start cancer treatment with those kind of numbers. I need something more accurate. I am also convinced the market is not always effecient and that causes a real problem with CLV being accurate. You take 50 super bowls and run your CLV and you will be shit shocked how bad your model is. I think the best approach is the most deadly, huge sample size and if you are wrong it is way way way too late and you are broke.

    Just start marking down the number of 1 point line moves and do 5 random samples of 100 bets and see what the results are.

    The market cannot be always efficient because it is subject to emotion. See bitcoin.

    the exact amount is unknown and of course the more deviation points the numbers drop but possible

    R40, great answers here and i agree with most you say, however with BTC there's a lot more Fun Player Money in the market that make decisions based on emotion when compared to the most efficient yet less liquid sport-betting marketplace, so not a good comparison

    A 1-point line move equates to about 56% winning percentage. Do a check on a number of bets and see how close it gets. I think you will find it gets pretty damn close.

    Just look at the line histories and figure up the winning percentage on the 1-point movers on as many games as you like.

    1 point mover you mean 1% win% change or what exactly, can you give me an example

    I mean the line moves 3 to 4 or 5 to 6 or 11 to 12. You don't have to get specific on percentage terms. Just check the winning percentages on games that move a full point and compare it to the expectation of 56%.

    You don't really have to do any calculations because you know full well that any book that leaves a point available is going under.

    yes 1 point varies in value but if you can get a free point across the board you would be very wealthy IF the limits are reasonable otherwise you just make a few bucks!

    Yes. That is precooked CLV. That is why you measure how much CLV value you have because it predicts your winning percentage pretty accurately.

    I think we discussed this before and I see the relation to clv and winning but I dont see CLV and winning being aligned

    you can see from Dr H's record that CLV is good and units are good but the two dont match 1% clv does not mean 5 units or something like that

    If you have 1 point of CLV, you are a guaranteed winner. The higher your CLV, the higher your winning percentage will be. There will be times when a winning CLV will produce 40% winning percentages. The expectation is always positive however and it is all you have to go on.

    +CLV does not make you a guaranteed winner, that is what I am afraid of

    Not in the very short term. There are professional gamblers that have made millions blindly betting lines so it is a proven concept.

    I can agree to that but I am still stuck on without a decent sample size, you cant really say you are good at this! by the time you have a decent sample size you are toast if you were wrong.

    If you spent half the amount time on crafting your projections as you did on making retarded forum posts you may actually get somewhere. No matter how many times people tell you xyz to be true you refuse to listen and spout off about abc.

    CSH take your own advice buddy! Keep posting those 250 limiter overnights and acting like you can cap, if you cant beat the BOL openers you should not be doing anything!

    Again acting like you know anything and making a complete fool of yourself. Releases are at the last game of the night. Your inability to comprehend how the market works, including limits, is also impeding your ability to understand anything about line value as you've made abundantly clear.

    That is why you do not start whaling away with a crappy model. You at least get some kind of expectation of your projected success and that is not guaranteed because you might be a screw up.

    that is hard to do because the model needs to grow and change just like everything else and I think its hard to get a decent sample size

    its a vague random number but I think he was just saying in general.

    8 pages and you still don't understand that regularly beating the closing line will converge with winning over any large sample. Carry on

    I don't actually have the slightest idea what one point CLV produces. I am just guesstimating. Pretty confident it is going to be in the ballpark and will at least be substantially profitable.
