September Bases

For the dogs...what if they open a fav of -117 or less than flip to a dog? Is this based on open or closing line? Thank you for what you do everyday...much appreciated[

Absolute best ranges

For dogs, if you bet every dog when fav was less than -117 over 7 years, you would have cashed 53% of the time for 186.8u and 6.6% ROI with over 2800 games

View attachment 42910

For favs, you would have made the most money from -207 to -225, winning 75% for 101.5u and 9.9% ROI through 479 games

View attachment 42911

But for the highest ROI, you would wanna play line from -279 to -297 and win 86% for 37.8u and 16.6% ROI through only 80 games

View attachment 42912

I used the rounding function and did not try moving lines up/down manually. This is moving the line in 18 point increments and centering the results. 20 points was a little big as -200 seems to be the bookies friend so 18 worked around that number

Just for grins, I drilled down tighter to within 6 point moves and the range from -285 to -291 has won 91.4% for 23% ROI!

This is based on last line recorded by SDQL, they say they update lines twice per day, so it's the line around 7pm, it could be the closing line or it may not if its a late game. They also enter overnight lines around 7 pm and daytime update around noon. Apparently it's still a work in progress as a lot of this stuff is still done manually and a bit erratic on daily games like baseball. It settles a lot more for football. But even accepting an error range of 3-5% these are still amazing numbers

I expect Cards to win today but this is a 17-7 day of week for Milwaukee who has a inferior but very good starter in Lyles and at 2 dollars is something of a problem. The Dodger game needs serious thought. Big day for Mets and on a 1 game sample very good for Degrom but the Dodger picture is back on good rest

Flaherty best pitcher in the game right now, no reason he dont shut them down. Not really sure about Doyers motivation at this point...they may be on cruise
 
NOT MY selection ️
White Sox vs Mariners (-115)
Projected winner = White Sox -108
Play is CHW for 1 unit and Under 9.5 for .5 units
Basewinner Data Study
  • Dylan Cease sports a .44 BBK which is not impressive, however he has a nice 11% StS coupled with an above average GB ratio of .83, this kid has the potential to be a top talent as shown by his 11 K game vs CLE two starts ago
  • King Felix has had a long and productive career but his best days are certainly behind him. He has a decent .383 BBK but hitters are teeing off on him this year (14 HR in only 54 innings). HRs are mostly random and could indicate that a pitcher is just getting unlucky, but there is nothing in the King’s stats that indicate he’s simply unlucky. He likely has a higher than average chance of getting touched up in his outing today.
  • White Sox have a BAR on OFF of 92 vs SEA with an 87 meaning that we believe the sox to be 5% better at generating runs.
  • SEA is the worst fielding team in the league and it’s not even close. They are 3% worse than the second worst team, that’s a huge margin. It is always nice to take positions against teams which are capable of sabotaging themselves.

Huge favs have been very good all year and the song remains the same in Sept as favs over 170 have cashed 79% for 11.7% ROI and 16.4% ROI on RL this month. (10-5 over the weekend was a little below average but 5-1 yesterday as Sundsay is always the best day to lay the chalk)

Under in Washington and Cards is very likely. Both Starters are very good on 4. Hudson is actually better on 4 than Stras which is not easy.
Twins seem likely and Oakland seems very likely.
A interesting possibility is Colorado
 
Decent night for the model. I am shocked that I have used this model to select every MLB game since May 1 and actually have shown a profit of over 1% ROI. That is pretty tough when you play every single game. Also the Value plays are up 20.6u for 11.85% ROI on the year. I never really thought this model would perform this well over the duration. Maybe just a lucky year and there is still 2 weeks left to tank...but it's been fun
:cheers3:

Have looked at the Days. Washington 5-7 Cards 12-2

Yes Cards are league best on Monday and SL has the 3rd best record in the league behind HOU and OAK since the break. However Hudson has likely been lucky as his 1.45 whip and less than 2:1 K:BB ratio indicates. Stras is proven money, pitches well on the road and has been very hot lately...hence the road chalk. Two of the more profitable teams and starters this year but I'll take my chances with WAS.

In Sept games last 5+ years road teams when line is within 30 cents of zero and total under 9 have been solid profit. Reasoning is home value overated here with 2 good pitchers in late season action.

My totals experiment has gotten a bit offtrack mostly due to the Rox lately, going 0-3-1 on COL unders the last 4 days

Once again today, it selects COL under as well as Zona under

1568654043519.png
 
Huge chalk pays off. This year after April(may take the book a month to sort out team strength) favorites laying 200 or more have won over 80% of the times for an excellent 12.7% ROI. If you bet to win $100 on every game this year starting on May 1 that was laying at least -200, you would be up $11, 475 or 115 units!

1568655183146.png

From pic above you can see last 8 days were 23-5. Sept has long been a good month for huge chalk because so many teams have packed it in. This year by month you see that August was the best month but Sept is on pace to be a close 2nd,

1568655547716.png

SDQL only goes back 16 years and the big favs did not profit at all before 2012 showing loss all but 1 years of the 8 on record here. I believe it may have something to do with the proliferation of online gaming forcing competition and therefore lowering the juice. Dime lines can be found all over and nickle lines are even available at times(I take advantage on 5dimes nickle lines overnight until 8am daily)

Heres -200 or more favs by year for 16 years. This year is the best ever so it's no surprise we have seen record high lines as the book is trying to price it high enough to get more doggie action

Betting against Arizona with that ump is very simply totally insane. You probably should be betting under as well

Well I already bet it. but I did take under as well. Smith is decent starters well both starters are pretty good so the under definitely works.

You were spot on yesterday with SL and UN good job

I am betting more Sept games this year than in recent years as I have found some decent trends for late season totals and big faves. Bear in mind my unit value is just over half of my before Sept bases. Also I always just risk 1u so the big chalk isn't big risk, just low return. For instance if my unit was $50 I would have $50 to get $17.85 on NYY today. I have bet risk value only for the last several years and I really think it help manage your roll and reward dogs or low chalk.

Its reasonable to assume Max wins but that game could be close. If Wieters is catching it could be very dangerous. Tumpane has a ERA with Wainwright of .75 and Wainwright in the day 1.87
Tumpane 3-3 with home dogs this season
Just looked Max with Tumpane 3.50 ERA 18 innings
Max is better on 4

Lester is a big favorite today on 4 days rest maybe they can force the win but over looks better

Interesting record history in some line ranges...

1568826711068.png

It is sorted by ROI over 7+ years since 2012. Also shows how it did just this year, this month and week

The only range that showed a profit for dogs was the very smallest dog when fav was -105 to -109. Even though it's ahead 8.9% ROI since '12, it's still a loser this year. Most all the others have stayed true to form this year except 2 spots with very low samples. All my tracking was off favorite numbers.
