The lines for the early score (first 7:30) are often in the -145 to -175 range.

Betting props blindly would mean to bet all the [I]no-early scores[/I], without considering anything else. Otherwise, it's no longer blind.

Let me go over last week (week 4) in the NFL. For now, I'm guestimating an average line for now of +130 to +135 for the NO-Score. Regardlessly, there is no question that a 50% winning ratio is profitable. (for the record, I had the IND and PHI games capped for an early score, but passed because of the ridiculous odds;...

You can let the bet ride, with the advantage of knowing the halftime score, or you can middle it.

Options:

- 500 on team A at Heritage, 500 on team B somewhere else.
If team A covers the 1H spread, you're stuck with both bets. If team B covers the 1H spread, you cancel the bet on team A, and have at that point a positive EV ticket for team B in hand. You can let it ride, or middle it with a 2H bet on team A (for whatever amount you're comfortable with). This approach only... More...

That's the general idea, but it's more flexible. Before the tournament I only had a rough outline of how to play it. It makes a big difference if the opponent is favorite or underdog. And other futures can play into the calculation. Basically, I kept an eye on all four brackets of the knockout stages, and would find value there (looking a game or two ahead, and including such futures as 'team to reach final four'). I did hedge Holland when they played Brazil, put a little on Uruguay in their next game (big dog), and... More...

There is a general misconception that exchanges are cash cows. Tradesports certainly wasn't. The problem is always liquidity, and it appears that MB may have 'solved' this by allowing credit players to seed the market. If this indeed is the case, it completely changes the risk-free dynamic of an exchange. If, as SBR suggests, MB has managed to dig itself a hole, that would mean that the funds of all players are at risk. For the simple reason that MB could not survive a run on the bank. I might add that Tradesports... More...

Van Persie as striker is a mistake. Huntelaar is a natural striker. Before he moved to Milan he did at Ajax what Uruguay striker Suarez has been doing since. But Huntelaar can come in later, as a fresh substitute against tired defenders.

As I said in another thread, remember that almost these same Dutch players beat WC finalists France and Italy by three goals each just two years ago. Just because they play a different style that doesn't mean they forgot how to punish top teams.

I think Van Persie and Robben should be on... More...

I don't know where you get the idea that Holland has no midfield. Sneijder, Van Bommel, en De Jong are pretty solid in my book. Two of them, in fact, played in the last CL final. (the third plays on the same club team as Robinho). In addition, Brazil is having problems at midfield. Elano may or may not be fit in time, Melo has an ankle problem, Baptista has a knee problem, and Ramires is out with two yellow cards.

This is not the Dutch team from two years ago. That team peaked early and had soccer... More...

This will give the president dictatorial power to turn off the internet. No surprise that it is introduced by one of the highest ranked Israeli infiltrants, Lieberman. This will turn the US into China.

I never had given it much thought, beyond advertising dollars. It's genius, by the way.

Priorities change. That's a fact of life. But to go from helping to protect player's funds to hoping to see players lose funds is quite the leap.

Many have critized SBR for not being critical of books that have banners up, suggesting a conflict of interest that would make them think twice about cutting off those advertising dollars. But the affiliate angle is much more specific. Losing players that signed up through SBR-links create a continuous flow of income. Even if the... More...
