Pulse Plays

There's something about Interleague that seems to cause turbulence in an otherwise smooth system. These plays have kind of fallen victim to this as well. Interleague plays this year have gone 7-3 +1.35. Still a winner but kind of striking when you consider the "same-league" plays have gone 19-1 +17.32.

Last year's old format came up with Oakland -126 for Friday and this year's new version has Minnesota -134 and Oakland -126. I'm going to respect the Interleague struggles and post these up for system documentation only and not as recommended posted plays.

nice work..I feel interleague is a monster unto itself..

lol

gl

:drink:

hi since the a.l seems to win more than the n.l. these 2 may be better than tuesday picks which were 2 n.l. i leave my other systems alone during this time also. anyhow thanks for the data. heart222

talk about bad luck with starting pitchers, halladay last week and now outman injured :WTF:

I didnt play them but you went 2-0

Yeah, sorry guys. I didn't play them either but I'm still comfortable with that decision. To make a short story long, my goal from day one was to build something that would produce a great return on investment. Whatever way you go about that, the common goal is to beat the profit line by the widest margin you can. I don't want it to be close. I want to have enough success to insure myself against bad luck.

At the moment, that profit line is 61%. At 7-3 coming into tonight, Interleague had shown less margin for error than I would have liked. It's looking a little better now after tonight but I'll continue to pass until there's more information.

Interleague is just weird, man. How else can you explain the 16-45 Nats winning 2 of 3 in Yankee Stadium and nearly sweeping them? As a fan, I love it. It just doesn't translate the same way to the world of handicapping. There's probably a better angle to find.


Same league…19-1…95%..+17.32
Interleague…9-3…75%..+3.35

I played em and enjoyed the 2-0.@)

Me too:cripwalk:

I'm happy you guys played them. Here is Tuesday's interleague play. Once again, this is for documentation only. I will not be putting any more of my cash on interleague this year. Interleague ends this weekend.

Tampa Bay -156

Numbers,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I played them for for 1/2 unit each. Every little bit helps!

I look forward to all your posts.

NF: I think your caution shows how seriously you take this; It seems your system is strong enough; works on basic power elements for assessing true strengths and probabilities of performance of athletic teams; that it seems to work about as well at interleague as at intraleague.

Thanks for posting..

I hope you are working on NFL/College foots for this fall..!!

tampa is a good thing get on big and go and collect it is like taking food off blind chooks

i know price is good at home and im not doubting the system but phils will lose 7 in a row? @)

I feel like Moyer might be running into the end of his career presently and decent hitting teams will take advantage of this. Crawford and Pena have ridiculous numbers vs him too...

Some of the best advice I ever received was to never bet against a streak. Either stay away or go with the flow. Betting against a streak only gets you 1 win, while betting with the streak can get you numerous wins. I'm sure you were thinking that the Phils couldn't lose 3, 4, 5, 6 in a row...

I agree SKing24, I would prefer to ride a team like the rockies right now than try to go against them

Thanks everyone for their input. Tampa got stomped by old man Moyer and the Phils. 6 runs in the 1st! I hope you guys didn't go too hard with that one. I'm getting close to pulling the plug on Interleague next year as well. We'll see how the "same league" plays fare the rest of the season and do a comparison. Right now:

Same league…19-1…95%..+17.32
Interleague…9-4…69%..+1.79

More of a discrepancy now. Interleague concludes this weekend. I'll continue this "Interleague play throw-away thread" for those last plays on Friday, then start a new thread on Monday or Tuesday with the action plays.

Couple of comments:

NF: I think your caution shows how seriously you take this; It seems your system is strong enough; works on basic power elements for assessing true strengths and probabilities of performance of athletic teams; that it seems to work about as well at interleague as at intraleague.

Thanks for posting..

I hope you are working on NFL/College foots for this fall..!!

I treat it as a business and try to be as flawless as possible. Too many ways in this business to squander money. It's oh so easy to fail! I'll obviously need to see a lot more interleague games to start to get a hint of what to expect. Until then, it makes more sense to me to be cautious and not include them until they prove themselves. Patience is a valuable commodity.

LOL...not working on pigskin just yet. Actually my NFL stuff is 90% set already but I'm going to be dipping my toes in the college ranks seriously for the first time assuming I come up with something really good.

It depends on how you approach it. In fact, most concepts can either succeed or fail depending on how you approach it. There's often no right or wrong idea. Technique comes into play. If you are doubling up (Martingale) then you'd only win one unit (if you didn't go broke). A different approach would be looking at the Phils' winning percentage coming into this game (.537) and figure that they will get closer to that average during a stretch of games AFTER the losing streak is over, so you could win several units once they rebound.

How long could their losing streak last though? At .537, and let's just assume that's a true expectancy, there is a 0.99% chance of losing 6 straight. Basically one percent. They finally won but to reach 7 straight losses would have been 0.46%, 8 straight 0.21% (rare), 9 straight 0.10% (not likely) and 10 straight 0.05% (good luck). In fact, anything around a twentieth of a percent you'll probably only see once or twice in your lifetime.

In other words, 10 straight losses (0.05% or 1 in 2000) for a team that loses 46.3% of their games, and considering there are only 16.2 possible ten-game stretches in a 162-game season, you could expect to see this happen for this particular team once every 123 years. If five teams every year were at this .537 winning percentage, it could still take 25 years or more for one of them to lose 10 straight.

By comparison, a team like the Phillies losing six straight will occur every year or two. Not often but will happen. Jeez, it's late and my brain is mush...lol.
Hope I got that all right....!~~~!

NF-

Can't say I agree with you on that one. Each game is independent in and of itself and the outcome of previous games has no effect on future games.

What I stated is not an opinion. It is simply the law of probabilities (odds) of a true .537 team losing ten straight. It is what it is. The only thing that can be debated is whether or not the calculations are accurate. If there weren't "odds" how would casinos and sportsbooks operate?

You say every game is independent of each other but you're also concerned with streaks? Maybe I'm misunderstanding...

I'm not trying to argue, just continuing the discussion on a slow night.:toast:

Please don't take this the wrong way cuz I'm a fan of yours but I do not understand how you can calculate odds or percentages of a team winning or losing based on prior performance since each game's results are independent of each other. What a team did yesterday or the day before has no effect on what they will do today. I understand that if you said Team A will certainly win .537, then you could hypothetically calculate those odds of a streak. However, we do not know for certain and cannot calculate those odds. If that were the case, why were the Phils not -10,000 or higher?? Their "odds" of losing 7 in a row were less than 1% according to you.

"and considering there are only 16.2 possible ten-game stretches in a 162-game season". This is completely wrong again. Games 1-10 are a set. 2-11, 3-12, 4-13, 5-14 etc.

All of this may sound contradictory towards my statement of betting on/against streaks but what I said was to never bet AGAINST a streak. I did not say to BLINDLY bet on the streak. The logic of, "they couldn't win/lose X games in a row" is not a sound strategy when trying to beat the market. Again, when betting against a streak you can only win 1 time. You may happen to choose the 1 time correctly, but using the logic of a team winning/losing a specified game because they have won/lost X games in a row is a sure fire way to the poor house.

With all that said....Good Luck and keep up the great picks!!
