Stupid question

[Pooh]

I don't bet at all so I have no clue.

If a team is -1050 and loses outright would it be considered an upset of epic proportions? Like a once a decade loss?

Thanks

obv depends on the sport or event. Not in college football, for sure, every year they have much worse odds win. Last year there were at least 2 > +5000 dogs win.

I have chased long odds to catch up before, never successful. Basically college basketball, you got to hunt for them early in the season.
In the SEC football you can catch a major upset early in September. Tough to do this late in the season. If you are looking for a huge reach you can bet Auburn in the Iron Bowl although you will not get anywhere near your asking price, maybe half. Might happen though.

It means they are expected to lose 1 in every 10.5 games, or something to that effect.

No. But it would probably be the biggest upset of an average NCAAF weekend. It's not something most people see Coming.

It's roughy a 14.5 favorite losing outright.

Thanks guys.

This was how Uconn was favored against Northeastern in college hoops last night. After they already lost to Wagner in the opener. Uconn was number 18 in the country preseason.

No. That happens usually once a week or once a month, especially in college football. -1050 would be equivalent to a 14 point favorite losing in NFL. And maybe a 21 point favorite in college football. A few of those happened this past Saturday.

It's a dangerous strategy. I played this back in the mid 2005 era. I probably had 4 sites going at once with betting odds. I eventually got broke down on PAC 10 football, I got sucked into betting o/u spreads. It never works. You got plenty of money, I get it, I am just telling you when I see -1050 I see a chaser and a sucker.

What I usually say to People who ask about chalk money lines is set aside $200 and bet a $50 5 team chalk parlay for four weeks stright. Bet the strongest chalk they offer and see how you do in the end after the month is up.

No offense, but you are giving advice on long term grinding gambling. His post was how to catch up on a long shot in a couple bets.

[Lord of the Fraud]

Only real sports fans refer to it as "hoops" I heard.

So using the thread title as an umbrella for my own stupid question...

I know the japs, and possibly Cuba? love their baseball.. But would there be enough foreign talent in or outside MLB to create a 'competitive' game between USA and ROW?

Like to have a proper World Series.

[big dick]

henry will know for sure but imo id say probably

they run the World Baseball Classic every 4(?) years, and while not every star from every country plays, Japan and the Dominicans run that shit.

[simpdog]

I think LOTF is referencing more of a MLB vs ROW.

What % of ball players actually are US born/raised? Can't be too high.

Interesting.

Would've thought with some Ryder Cup style promoting they could make it a huge deal.

Best of 3 with a game held in Tokyo maybe.

If it really would be a competitive series, I can't understand why this doesn't already happen with all the elite players vying to get in their respective teams.

American born baseball players Vs ROW. Kinda on the same principle as the Ryder Cup.

Is great when the whole nation is behind a team every 4 years or w/e.

[Brittney Griner's Clit]

It means they are expected to lose 1 in every 10.5 games, or something to that effect.

Flawed in two ways.

First off you are forgetting about juice.

Second off following your logic a -200 would be expected to lose every other game and a -100 would be expected to lose every game.

So if -1050 was the true moneyline you would be expected to lose 1 in every 11.5 games.


But it's not the true moneyline. Without tracking down the math formula and going by Daly's chart where -1050 translates to +735 the true moneyline would land somewhere between (+/-) 750-780.

So they are expected to lose about 1 in every 8.5 games.


And no I can't show my work. I flunked out of Calculus. I know I'm right though.
