    Default Raiders I'll bet you I can hit 57% if....

    Four things:

    You let me start out 2-0, I have posted the last two college games and got them correct.(In jjgold's threads)

    One game a day every day, whether there is one game or hundreds(includes basketball)

    -110 or less, I can buy a half point at pinnacle if it stays at -110 or less

    I will only ask for +150 odds if you spot me the two games that I picked with Miami and CSU, not looking to bet more than 1k though if that is ok, I don't want to take too much out of my bankroll.

    What about this. I spot you 0 games and give you the 2-1 odds. You can play any Pinny line with or without buy up to -108 since it would be +100 the other way? Also what are we betting?

    rm18 - Taking 2-1 to win 57% is a better value than taking 3-2 to win 56.12%.

    Don't take it for more than you're comfortable with. Good luck.

    you guys are the reason why every mother would warn her son from ever touching gambling or a sportsbook...the next thing i see here is: you believe raiders, thinking he knows a lot, and pay him for lines...wouldnt surprise me.

    ok, -108 in NFL as long as it is -110 on college and basketball, I probably won't play much NFL anyway, 2-1 is not better value I'm pretty sure, but I will take 2/1 I guess.

    And pushes don't count as 50% for the percentage.

    Sure- Sounds good to me. Are we putting up any $ on this? Let's make it small if we are. I only like to make it big from braggers such as Terris, Senator etc.I don't mind taking whatever they can afford.

    500/1000 ok? I don't know how to set it up, or where, I have a matchbook account but have never actually used it. I would be fine with giving it to Dozer or a moderator, especially since it is not that much money.

    Terris calm down man...you've been a good poster. I mean this is an internet forum...there are going to be quite a few people you don't get along with that doesn't mean you delete your account.

    I mean, I am sure you won't find anywhere else to post...this is relatively calm compared to other places...trust me.

    I mean i don't agree with everything JJ or Raiders says but I listen to what they have to say...b/c they make good points from time to time.

    Trust me, one of the most valuable things I learned is that you need to listen to people regardless of what they say. You'll be much happier if you do and you'll be treated with quite a bit of respect from others if you choose to listen as oppose to preach all day.

    Ok I guess I can speed it up a little, it probably is more compelling to make one pick for the guy picking.

    I don't want to pick too many though or I don't like my chances to hit 57% anymore, I guess I can give you 1 a day during the week and 8-10 on the weekend, but that will still take 7-8 weeks.

    It looks like its time for some capping contests against each other. Always a good trash talking time!

    Bill, I guess I make a decent amount of my bets a day or more in advance, I do well enough to not have to wait for games to finish to make my next bets if thats what you're getting at.

    I was thinking about the selection at -110 or less at Pinnacle.

    A couple of points which should be self-evident to all those involved (or at least to all those involved with Microsoft Excel):
    1. If an individual is able to consistently pick roughly 54.34% winners then the bet proffered by Raiders is a "fair" bet (i.e., the expected profit or loss for each of the participants is zero).
    2. It follows directly from the above in the case of dime spreads that if one were to pick only those games where the favorite were offered at -125 or greater in absolute value (implying a 54.43% or higher chance of victory in the case of dime spreads), then taking Raider’s bet would have positive expected value.

    Raiders, I'm really not trying to back out or anything but I was thinking I could get the bets anywhere from the http://www.sbrodds.com/ ticker, with the exception of matchbook, they have weird lines sometimes, since when people claim their percentages it is from their bets, and you call them out that they are lying. I don't like me chances as much if I have to bet a fixed line at pinnacle.

    Yes I want pushes thrown out, so if there are 4 pushes, I will pick 104 games.

    For the starting time I have to get a neteller withdrawal processed first(Bodog), hopefully it is processed in the next couple hours but it is big, I just finished my 36,000 rollover.

    And Dozer is still fine with me, even if he works for you.

    This is how I understand it. 100 plays throwing out pushes. Use the line at Pinny at the time of the bet. At 8 cent line no higher than -108. At a 10 cent line no higher than -110. You have to win 57 games. 1 play per day except Sat and Sun where you will make 8 -10. Correct?

    I'm not sure if you read what I wrote a few posts up, but I want to be able to make the bets at any SBRlines book(not matchbook), like I would want to take Colorado at -3, but at pinnacle it is -3 -112, or do you think this in an unfair advantage. Like I said I will be posting my bets not picks from pinnacle, and am saying I can hit 57% on my bets not picks from a fixed line.

    Everything else is correct, I guess I would like to start tomorrow if this is ok, I don't know how to give people money from pinnacle, but I can just use neteller.
