Bet under on Phoenix matches in WNBA

Filed under: Basketball,Betting — Tags: , , , , , , , — admin @ 8:23

I am going to bet under on next five Phoenix games with martingale. I know it is a bit dangerous and I can lose all my bank, but I’ve got some reasons. From the beginning of WNBA Phoenix played 8 matches and all of them are over.

The longest strike of over I know about was New York’s last season with 12 overs in a row.

I think Phoenix will make at least one under in the next few games. So, crossing fingers.

Would we bet on French League 1?

Filed under: Betting — Tags: , , , , , , , , , — admin @ 9:49

As I wrote in my previous post I started to follow the French Ligue 1, inspired by another blog post about not betting on this league. Well, I found out that in a niche there was profit in the last season matches. It is about betting for draws in games where the odds for the favorite are between 1.71 and 2.

I took a closer look to the past 8 seasons, just to find out that there is no profit in that niche, but no losses, also. So, may be Ed is right

Back the favorites!

Filed under: Betting,Football — Tags: , , , , , — admin @ 12:17

I found something that really hit me in the head. I started a paper sheet project a few weeks ago. Short explanation: the project is something about soccer betting on all favorites where the odds for them are over 2.2. What a big surprise came when I saw the first 60 games with more than 50% wins for the favorites. Here are the games:

If this continues, it will be really strange, but really nice also :)

Creating odds from ratings

Filed under: Betting,Football — Tags: , , , , , , — admin @ 11:36

I read lot about power ratings etc. about the way of making good soccer betting system. Of course, those ratings can be used for any sports, but most of the punters use it for soccer. From all the pages I read, I assume that one of the biggest problems in those ratings is how to calculate true odds from your ratings, so the punter can search for value.

I must say, it is an unexplored field for me, but it seems easy to me how to calculate those odds and the way is to use Asian handycap +0.5. Isn’t it?

18% pure profit when betting on soccer underdogs

Filed under: Betting,Football — Tags: , , , — admin @ 12:09

In my last post I wrote about my research on soccer betting and my soccer database. It wasn’t good enough, but there is profit. I found out that I made a mistake with the way of betting and not with the games I picked.

So, if I’d bet on single for the underdogs, instead of doubles with draw, I would have 35 winners and ROI of 118.63% with 1% of the bank, used for every bet.

Of course this result is only from 100 matches. I will continue with searching.

Betting on underdogs using betsuf database

Filed under: Betting,Football — Tags: , , , , , , — admin @ 9:25

A few weeks ago I started a research using my soccer database. Until now I’ve used it only to find profit on favorites and there was some success. Betting on underdogs could be profitable too, but the punter must use the correct betting system and money management.

For my research I bet on 100 matches using doubles (draw and back the underdog) and only draws, using 3% on the bank on every bet. As a conclusion I can say that the draw betting was a mistake, I lost everything on the half way. The double betting was a bit better, but again with bad result. The ROI is about 80%. In the beginning the results were great and there was near 30% profit, but then the results got worse.

However, there is profit because 30+ of those games, predicted by my database as profitable when betting on underdogs finished with win for the underdogs. Most of the odds are high above 3, which will give good profit. I will check this later and I will try again.

Here is the table with matches:

Mathematics and betting

Filed under: Betting — Tags: , , , , , — admin @ 12:49

Recently I’ve been reading a post in punterslounge forum about a football rating system. The posts there are really fascinating and throw me in deep thinking about maths and how we use it.

However, I have read only 3 pages until now, because I have other stuff to do, but the post helped me with some fresh ideas, which I am going to give a try.

I was really impressed with how we can use the idea of Gauss about Least Squares Approximations . Right now I have put all other betting stuff aside and just read about this method.

I hope it will help me improve my results, which are quite bad these days.

Searching for patterns. Finnish 1st league

Filed under: Betting,Football — Tags: , , , , , , , — admin @ 21:08

I am staring at the numbers in the last two days with hope to find something that will give a clue about profitable betting. You know I hope to find some pattern which will lead me to profit in Finnish 1st league. I use results from past years and compare them to this one. I got some good guess on betting for the favorite with coefficients between 2.01 and 2.2, but unfortunately the first bet was unsuccessful
