    Danshan,

    Why no MLB for you? Just wondering...Everyone is about CLV and you can't argue against it or you can, heard both sides of story. I do measure it vs sharper books only.

    OK, so you have the Sparks winning by 4, while BookMaker says they will win by 1.5. So this is a huge play on the the Sparks, right?

    lots of injuries have moved that line down a ton, Parker is out and a few other players, 1 is probably fair now

    Danshan,

    I just cant seem to get a good enough grip on my MLB model to bet it. I think my model is too strongly based on past lines and not enough on righties, lefties, weather and lineups, a good mlb model is pretty complex and probably just outside my current pay grade! now biting bad lines I have killed it in the MLB but that is not modeling that is just buying junk lines using my fairlay deal finder api I built, it kills it really does, I would share the picks if admin would let me. I have an automated software program that scrapes bad lines via api on fairlay and bets them and I have just killed it by doing that, its basically beating the line on stale lines on fairlay and there are tons of them. impossible to do without the api scraper.

    here are a few screenshots of the scraper
    https://imgur.com/a/TGx28z0


    and here are my results using the scraper on actual bets

    so yeah MLB has been good to me but not because I can model it LOL

    look at these crazy insane lines I am getting using the scraper, its nuts how much value I get on each bet

    This is not a conversational place. You have to spark the conversation by going off on one of your tangents.

    yeah man i just dont know why I see it so differently than everyone else. I really try and study and be as open minded as possible but it seems I just don't get it!

    You definitely don't get it and I don't think you are going to.

    What was it about this Pinnacle fellow you found objectionable?
  • danshandanshan Senior Member
    edited July 2019
    this article he describes adjusting his model and staking method on every win and loss and he somehow thinks 1000 win loss results mean anything

    https://www.pinnacle.com/en/betting-articles/educational/part-two-theory-of-everything/UWC25WVPPPZJ997D?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=article-link&utm_campaign=educational

    its crazy! I called him out but he just called me dumb and everyone on twitter agreed

    I also read this book and asked the author questions about it and he got mad and blocked me.
    https://www.amazon.com/Statistical-Sports-Models-Excel-Andrew-ebook/dp/B07SPWLYQJ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1ACQ4C7Z86Z0&keywords=statistical+sports+models+in+excel&qid=1563918737&s=gateway&sprefix=sports+models%2Caps%2C206&sr=8-1

    this book would have probably been really good in 1994 but in today's market, these type models are not even necessary. I just dont see how people can see it any different. he also states this is for beginners to start modeling, please if I gave this book to my older brother and told him to build a model he would punch me. book has some really good references of apps and plugins but besides that is complete garbage but of course everyone disagrees with me. so again I guess I am just dumb!

    LOL. We have already established that 1000 bets is very meaningful. It's all a matter of degrees.

    and in part 1 of this article he states that we could not bet if lines were truly efficient and that is literally dumbest thing I ever read.

    we bet before all the votes are in when the market is probably not efficient yet and all the votes are not counted yet.

    when we bet we know the market is not efficient otherwise we are just throwing our money away, who would write that and for Pinnacle for god's sake.

    please read this quote and comment on it anyone please

    "Also, the logic is a bit of a tightrope walk – it’s based on the idea that the market is efficient, but in a fully efficient market it’s impossible to even have an edge to begin with. This exact criticism can be applied to the idea of measuring one’s edge using “closing line value” (CLV) – that is, measuring a model’s success by how correlated it is with the movement from the line at the time the bet is placed to the closing line."

    this might be the 2nd dumbest thing I read but of course the world 100% disagrees with me

    he changes his staking size on each bet result. he somehow believes that todays score is predictive towards his next bets size to kelly!

    this quote is even funnier

    "This is a good measure of success if, and only if, the market is reacting to the same “signal” as your model, just later in time. If you find a betting angle that nobody else in the world has, there is no reason why the market would catch up to you – you may have a great deal of positive expected value, but your CLV will hover around zero."

    Fortunately for you, this is a theological issue and the only thing that matters is if you can hit the broad side of a barn.

    You have already apparently experienced this phenomenon in real life. I don't think you really have much to argue with at this point.

    two ways to win
    Survivorship Bias or huge volume and a real edge

    there is no other way to win period if there was books would not exist, there really is no argument in that

    There are plenty of books that no longer exist and if they took unlimited money, there probably would not be any in existence.

    ok not books in particular I mean the system, the system only exists because lines are efficient, there are not bad bettors, there is no such thing as a real bad bettor, the worst better loses the juice, period!

    They charge the juice for a reason, right? The juice only takes you so far with certain people. I think the average bettor has a winning percentage of 49.5% so they are slightly bad.
