Team Totals vs Game Totals

austintx05 · Apr 7, 2008

I notice in comparison a lot of the team totals when added up are off of the posted game total.

For example, tomorrow's game...

<table style="width: 100%;" border="0"><tbody><tr class="AD1"><td>Philadelphia Phillies
J. Moyer</td><td rowspan="2" valign="middle">
OVER 9.5 -103
UNDER 9.5 -107</td><td rowspan="2" valign="middle"> Philadelphia Phillies
OVER 4 -114
UNDER 4 -102</td><td rowspan="2" valign="middle"> New York Mets
OVER 4.5 -124
UNDER 4.5 +108</td> </tr><tr class="AD1"> <td>10:10 AM</td><td>902</td><td>New York Mets
OL. Perez</td></tr></tbody></table>
Team Totals add up to 8.5 which is 1 run under the 9.5 posted game total.

Are books leaning under? What can you make of this? I notice it happens quite a bit where the differential is 1 run and sometimes 1.5 runs.

Thanks.

I'll take a stab. The juice on the TT Over's is -114 and -124 respectively.

i played this angle from around the beginning of august through the end of the season. when the team totals were a whole run off the game total i played that side. i didn't keep an exact percentage, but i'll tell you i won more than i lost. they didn't come around daily though, it seemed like every 2 or 3 days. i have never seen a total off by 1.5 runs though.

every day I find a handful of these....what to make of it? Are the books leaning?

not quite sure, but it def doesn't make sense, but then again you have to ask yourself which one the books are off on the team totals or game totals? last yr when i used this angle when i bet the under it hit more often than the over. if anything i felt it gave a good starting point where to begin your research. a lot of times i noticed small things that made the play more solid such as home plate umpires and such.

have you been playing these this season?

no, just an observation

Austin...you have any idea where I can get the team totals for the games played the last couple of days without having to pay for a service?

My advice is to simply be methodical about printing out the earliest lines you can get each morning (when the TTs are released).

I'm not aware of any other outlet that shows hindsight TTs and accompanying prices.
