oh ok. you are right, i thought that you weren't using a solver to optimize the stakes, and just using the probability of each individual teaser without taking into account the correlation between the teasers.

You're right to question the numbers - to clarify, I did not optimize the values for all these bets. Even the simple calculation of 4 teams each at 75% win chance with constant tease amount is a somewhat complex problem to setup.

To calculate with respect to all the potential bets and all the potential tease amounts would be massive calculation. I've simplified things by just betting the appropriate (quarter) kelly amounts and betting every possible combination of games until

A) I run out of bankroll or
B) I don't have an edge anymore

With the previous post, I was just showing with solver that it does maximize growth if you round robin (with a lot of assumptions), which is close to what I'm trying to do.

So take what I've presented here with face value.

I'm thinking this is next level Pro type stuff. I just got my Pro status so I'm not ready for this yet.

Ha - I'm not a pro by any stretch of the imagination. I've got 155 bucks at play here.

Although the pro label doesn't necessarily bring a lot with it - has anyone read chad millman's blog at ESPN? He has an article every week about "system" picks from "pros", with sample sizes <100 going back to the 80s.
 
gawd I hate math
but thats why I'm an awesome gambler
good luck with the 82 plays..
 
Millman is an idiot of epic proportions.

Some choice wisdom from Big Al:

"Since the early 1980s, NFL teams that haven't had a bye and are coming off of back-to-back upset wins are 28-57 against the spread when playing non-division foes and are not getting more than seven points. Sorry, Steelers fans, but your crew has won two in a row as dogs, are favored by one and are playing a nondivision foe."

Millman always has his caveats at the beginning ("this is just a starting point for sharps") but I feel like they're abusing his blog (and the public) by putting out this terrible advice. I don't have a bone to pick about this game, just the methodology involved.

Or, these guys are serious and I question how much longer they'll last.
 
the comments are my favorite.
 
Yiddish we locked in on this shit or what? Talk to me.

Big Al is Brandon Lang-retarded. He's just a tout.
 
Just put down these, but my macro quit on me. I guess I'll leave as is and see how it goes.
