Re: Huge Value in CFL
I will say again, Winnipeg can't and will not win this game....you can't lose your starting and only good QB in the CFL and win. You need a QB more in the CFL than the NFL because of one less down. Many teams in the CFL have capable back ups but Winnipeg isn't one of them.

Re: Huge Value in CFL
What would you put Winny's chances of winning at?
If it's less than 10% or so, then it is probably more profitable to hedge the Sask ML if it is around -400. If your analysis is correct, it's better to lock in another unit or so, rather then let it ride and hope for a miracle. |

I'm not even sure what some of the stuff you jabbering about means. |

Re: Huge Value in CFL
I've read some stuff on Kelly, but I wasn't a stats major so it makes my brain hurt. I tried using the fancy calculators at a few other sites, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. I asked for someone more well versed to chime in on this and got no responses.
1u at +950(Sask) 1u at +1500(Winny) They play each other so +950 is a guaranteed winner. Winny is an 11pt dog to Sask. The ML is ~ -410 now. OP seems to think Sask is undervalued at -410. Gorilla math tells me: Betting 5.5u on Sask ML would win me more money if Sask wins, but I would still win 9.5u if Winny wins(very unlikely). Obviously there is a point somewhere between 0-5.5 units bet on Sask that is most profitable, depending on how likely they are to win. Using the current ML (-410) gives them approximately an 80% chance to win. OP thinks they are undervalued at that. I know absolutely nothing about the CFL, so I don't know how to determine that. If I thought they were 80% to win, wouldn't I bet 4.4u on the Sask ML( 0.8*5.5u)? |

Re: Huge Value in CFL
You have a guaranteed big winner. Why voluntarily pay more vig? You're simply taxing yourself actual $$$$.

Re: Huge Value in CFL
You're right.
In actuality, I'm freerolling on a +550 dog(Winny) when they are actually +410. |

Re: Huge Value in CFL
Too bad I can't bet on Pinnacle anymore.
I would play this game just to be able to say, "I'm playing Winny at Pinny" |
