MG, was watching your video and noticed something odd. Texas -44.5 vs ULM but on your sheets Texas is +5.5.

Correct the model is statistically drive so whatever is produces as a line it is what it is. It doesn't mean we play LA Monroe on ML, the model gives us indication if there's value. Also, if you said, "that doesn't look right...let me change it." What would you change it too? -10, -30? If you do, you are basically bringing bias into the line which is what we don't want to do. We always keep the model pure.

Question can you please explain how your line and the sportsbook differential works
@mgcovers22 сағат бұрын
Just subtract my line from books line. Look for at least 5 points of value. Example - my line is -10 (model predicts a win by 10 points) if books like is -3 we have a 7 point differential.

@mgcovers3 күн бұрын
You could simple subtract the two number 99.30 - 95 = -4.3. OR, rank players from top to bottom and experiment with assigning top team a random number and equally spacing until all players teams have a number.

Hey man I just want to start by saying thanks for all the wisdom you have shared with us, I really appreciate that! One of the things you have taught us is that when there's a big change in spread it's usually a public move and because of recency bias, the spread will also change, so I was wondering with Kansas City Chiefs losing their main running back, which is what i assume is the main reason for the spread going from -4 to PK in favor of Atlanta Falcons, but also Falcons beating the Eagles may have also played a part in it. Personally, I'm just going to fade that game but how should interpret moments like this where spreads move because of recency bias as well public moves?

Awesome! Thanks for watching. Appreciate the support. With bookmaker, that could be an error. Looks like majority still have it -4. But you understand the concept perfectly and that's the correct interpretation. Cin/KC game great example and that's the one I mentioned in podcast. open +3 and closed at +6 and +6.5 at some other books. Not sharp at all!

Hey man , haven’t watched this one all the way through yet but I truly wanted to thank you , I’ve been sports betting sense February and I couldn’t hit a bet for my life , any bet I used to hit was pure luck, after I watched your older video on if fading the public worked , very small sample size but I was in love with the results, if the books are always supposed to win, then your best bet is to fade the public because that’s the best way to join the books, obviously nothing in sports betting is a 1:1 ratio cause if it were we’d all be rich , but you set me up with a great wager splits reading website I check it everyday for money splits and ever sense the month of July , I’ve parlayed ( ML Underdogs as far as the money goes ) I usually don’t bet under plus 300 odds occasionally I will if I believe in my bet but usually plus 300 so I only have to win 25% to break even , well sense the month of July after watching your video I got 7 wins - 12 losses and 1 hedge and I’m up 11 units I really can’t appreciate and thank you enough for having me understand how to bet baseball it’s been amazing I hope we both keep hitting at a profitable rate , now time for me to get to this football 😂 it’s killed me so far
