SportSavant,

If HPark1's numbers are correct, then you might have some value. I don't have a clue about NFL and meaning of key numbers, so I have to trust HPark1's numbers.

As told before, you lose money if you get only 4 out of 6. Only one ticket left with winning 67% of the games and you get only 67% of your investment back in that case, so not good.

Winning 5 of 6, you have won 83% of the games and get 50 units back, and because you invested 15 units, your payout is 2.33-1.

What if you make 3 teamers instead of 4 teamears? If you hit 6/6 of course payout is smaller, but your risk is smaller also.

As I posted earlier with 4 teamers, each individual wager is -129. With 3 teamers each straight wager is about -141, because 3 teamer pays out 4-1.

Here are three systems for you. First includes 3 tickets and 5 teams, second 6 and last 10 tickets both with 6 teams.


First

1 2 3
1 2 5
3 4 5

If you get 3 of 5, you have average 30% chance to hit 1 ticket.
If you get 4 of 5, you have average 1.2 ticket correct. (Usually only one)

Second

1 2 4
1 3 6
1 5 6
2 3 5
2 4 6
3 4 5

If you get 3 of 6, you have average 30% chance to hit 1 ticket.
If you get 4 of 6, you have average 1.2 ticket correct. (Usually only one)
If you get 5 of 6, you have 3 winning tickets.

Third

1 2 4
1 2 5
1 3 4
1 3 6
1 5 6
2 3 5
2 3 6
2 4 6
3 4 5
4 5 6

If you get 3 of 6, you have average 50% chance to hit 1 ticket.
If you get 4 of 6, you have 2 winning tickets.
If you get 5 of 6, you have 5 winning tickets.

If you think that you always get 4 correct, then First or Third system is an answer. Of course you have only 5 teams in First system, but you can throw the weakiest team away.

These systems might be good also, if you like to make normal parlays, with a book which offers true odds or reduced juice parlays.

I recommend to make only straight wagers and forget parlays, but do what you wanna do.

A very important factor in determining if a line has value is to have your own set of #'s and make your selections from there....very simple. Comparing what is offshore vs proline and betting into the proline #'s because they're off is not a good thing. Just my 2 cents. Where's the value in taking S.D at +1/2? Great value with the fins and so on.

Another factor that maybe of interest to some is that the same people are setting the lines.........LVSC provides proline with their lines. Good thing for proline players as we all know they don't move lines.

SS,

Thanks for bringing up this topic. Forgot all about proline, had been so long. After noticing the lines and the value there I placed a little 3 out of 4 with Miami on every ticket. 4-0 with bungles pending. Might hedge the bungles however as the line has moved up to almost 7. Plus possibility for the middle.

thanks SportSavant:love:
