ces,
first off, yes... last season there were times I started a series from gm 1 to either go over or under...
but...
those times were not based on 3yrs worth of history, just how it looked to me last season... it worked sometimes lol
Not sure if what axp and friends use would help or not, but maybe?
I went thru all their homestands (of 6gms or more) and charted on what # game they had their first over, then on what # game they went under...
NOTTT searching for the total # of overs or unders for a team at home... but when they reached it during any homestand of 6 gms or longer.
Example:
DODGERS... (one of the very strongest "OVER" teams at home)
In 31 homestands over 3 yrs...
Gm 1 == 20 times OVER in 1st gm
Gm 2 == 8 times OVER (of the 11 remaining)
Gm 3 == 1
Gm 4 == 1
Gm 5 == 0
Gm 6 == 1 (2006)
ASTROS... very strong UNDER tm at home...
Reached an UNDER within the first 4 gms at home all 31 times in last 3 season...(21-3-6-1)
*If game 1 tied the total, I counted the next gm as game 1
So for Dodgers,
If you gave it a 3 bet chase... you'd have 29 units of wins, and say 15 units of loss... (+14 units)
ASTROS...
You'd have 30 units of wins and say 8 in losses... (+22 units!!)
FYI, some teams like Dodgers are better to stop after 2 gms, but to be consistent we figured it at taking it out 3 bets...
and over 3 yr period, it was above 200 units when taking the 15 that are good at overs, and 11 good at unders, 2 that are good at both, and 2 that are not consistent at either.
Some only a few units ahead, others a little better...
Works for Me!
Now I have this info for all teams at home... it'd be nice to know how they fared on the road in the long homestands...
I'm open to hearing from anyone (axp?) about accessing this w/o having to do it manually...
Also...
It's possible that the last 3 yrs are an aberration... I don't know.
Maybe it's a totally accurate representation of how the #'s fall into place, maybe not.
It'd be nice to have a bit longer reference base, but I'm not doing it now...maybe it would all total out about the same?? :shrug:
Maybe there were some errors when doing all this by hand? I don't know.
Its possible... I'm not perfect, but I'm told I'm kinda cute!... :shrug:
:director: I do know this...
*I'm going to ride these systems fer awhile... I'm pretty sure they won't go completely in the tank...
*The research shows the stretches of all overs or all unders don't hardly ever go past #7 (only went to bet #8 once... I think lol)
*You can always wait until a team has a 4 or 5 gm stretch that way at home, and then start it up... be willing to take it to 3 bets, it should win, just won't have as many plays...
Appreciate all the feedback, hope we ALL win!
I know I won't usually have as much time as today to type here... and I will be out having fun in the sun quite a bit!
I hope those that care and understand the systems, can help answer questions for those that will inevitably try to join in down the road...
When we're all makin some Ca$h!! wooohoooo!! :00hour :00hour :00hour
