I am trying to put some research together to test some of my systems and need this year's and previous year's MLs, RLs and hopefully ARL. I would like to have a record of where the game line opened at and where it ended up if possible.

Anyone know a website where I can get this info? Or anyone have a spreadsheet with this info?

thanks a bunch. I would appreciate it if you would let me know or post the link in the forum if you find the ARL history. I'm trying to use the data to do the -1.5 both sides middling system.

1999: +179
2000: +178
2001: +172
2002: +176
2003: +172
2004: +171
2005: +183

So far in 2006 the figure is +176...I'm hoping 2005 was just a freak year and not a trend that is going to continue.

Remember, these numbers assume that no game is more likely to end in a one-run game than another, which is a BAD assumption...just trying to get some numbers out there.

Games that are expected to be close have better RLs. I'll look at the MLs to see how much more frequently games that are expected to be close end in 1-run games than the games in which there is a clear winner expected. I'll post these numbers when I get them.

I went through two years of data (5617 games) and came up with the numbers I expected to. Games that are expected to be close (similar MLs) tend to finish as one-run games more often than games that aren't supposed to be close. This I kind of knew, but now I have the numbers to prove it. That is the reason the RLs and ARLs have bigger payoffs when the MLs are even.

Here's the number everyone is waiting for - in those two years, the average of the RL and ARL you get should be no less than +180 to be profitable. This is for the PK games. The cut-off number drops gradually from 180 the more one team is favored by. So, if the ML is -195 for the favorite and +205 for the dog, bet the RL and ARL on the game if you can get the average of the two for +174 or better.

I haven't gone back to see how many games qualify under these contraints, but I can't imagine it's very many. Of course, that won't keep me from looking for them.

One more thing - on this kind of thing, always bet so you'll win the same amount no matter who wins for maximum profit...kind of like the sportsbooks try to set the line right in the middle of the action.

Please give me some feedback on what you think about this and where I should go from here. I have 5 more years of data, but I'm convinced that will only mimic the two years I have sorted through so I'd rather not waste my time going through it. Sorry if any of these points have already been posted...I'm late joining this party.

Thoughts please!!!

I tried to follow your reasoning here but was having some trouble. If you cannot find the ARL data, how are you coming up with the numbers in your first post? Or were you saying the break even point for a dog + fav RL had to be at those numbers?

Data seems to show that games with a low over/under line (8.5 or 9) have a higher RL+ARL average, usually around or above 180, and games with higher over/under lines (9.5 or more) tend to be 175 and below. There are of course, some games between offensive, evenly matched teams that will have an O/U of 10 and a RL+ARL average of 190.

Correct - those were what they had to be to break-even

I'll post some more research I tried to do on ARLs pretty soon.
