Somebody check my math because this seems impossible in baseball

[raiders72001]

There's a poster that's down 40.62 units at 1 unit a game over 125 plays. Now I have to be doing something wrong because I figured it out if each game was +100 no juice his record would be 42-83. That's under 34%. Is this possible? No need to mention any names as this guy is down 50k for the year and I don't want to rub salt in the wound. I could use some confirmation on the math. Thanks

hi raiders72001

who is the guy you are talking about ? i would really like to know, because i try to follow some people on this board. any help is much appreciated sir.

you might want to fade me in bases for the next 3 days or so, I feel a bad streak coming up...

 

[mjred]

the problem with your math is that you are not allowing for massive amounts of chalk, try those same 125 games at -180

 

[raiders72001]

DM- I think his name is MFer or something like that.

Mj- So his % is less than 34% if I take the heavy chalk into consideration. Thanks for the help.

For instance, the last 2 days the Yankees have been favored around -200 against the Angels and lost both. If you had bet on Yankees both days 3 units each, then you would be overall 1-1 (-1.5 units)

I'm also wondering how this guy's record can be under .500 when most of his plays are on big favs.

Raiders
I have no idea who you are talking about

My advice would be that this poster find a new hobby or start donating his money to charity. The boy is obviously MUSH and winning is not in the near future. To compile a losing record while playing mostly chalk is almost impossible. I suggest that this poster start playing +180 dogs and playing it 3 different ways, runline, 5 innings, game ect..Atleast then he could go 1-2 and lose less money

 

[raiders72001]

Dicky- In order to protect the guilty I will not mention his name. I am curious as to why he's not calling these chase plays though. This poster has some type of exemption where chase plays aren't counted as loses. Aren't these chase plays?

LMAO! This Raiders cat is one of my favorite posters.

Raiders aren't you the same guy who gave up picking bases because in your own words you suck.
