Must be some angle here. Does anyone who bets these matches know each players ability ?
Lefty vs lefty or lefty vs righty better?
I’m intrigued.
Honestly, deciding on the winner doesn't really help gambling in any sport. If I spent my business trying to figure out who would win in major American sports, it would be a tough grind. I know this because I do and I have.
Picking winners could be the easy part of gambling, but making money off of that is the tough part.
I think that year when the GS Warriors won a record number of games, a bettor laying them each game would have been up about 9 units. The next year they were 67-15 and the better hitting each game lost a couple units.
I do not think the market is efficient but I do avoid the closer matches and odds. I like looking at the players that are over -300 in the market, and even if I can figure them to be -500 or -600, making value, I’ve just been hitting them in the open parlays.
What I’ve found is that those guys that are big favorites, in some of the leagues, of course win; but usually win 3-0 or 3-1. It’s not usually a 3-2 venture and the LIVE markets are using cookie cutter odds.
These cookie cutter odds are not tailored to the individual matches and some of these big favorites can become real value to win 3-0 or 3-1. Also, when the dog does surprise early and wins the 1st match, I’ve found a lot of success hitting that 3-1.
There is a lot pinging and ponging and the better players revert back to norm and tend to stay better quickly.
Quick enough to pick up a buck or two LIVE, if you’re paying attention. It’s not unlike the major sports, the markets tend to have pockets that fall behind in odds adjustments. Fortunately in the major sports, those pockets can rotate and repeat.
You do have to pay attention but this is how you can win money in sports betting without being too focused on how to pick the winner of an individual game or match.
Being creative at how you look at what’s offered and the market as a whole.
All that said, I do not like the Ukranian Win Cup as much.
A -380 favorite went up 2-0 and should have cleaned up, but took it to 5 anyway. I was not in it LIVE, thankfully, but did have the -380 as the 3rd pick in an open 4 pick.
myagi has beaten bychkov 1 out of 13 meetings.
pavlenkos rolling tough lately.
18 meetings w/bychkov and bychkovs won 7. last seven games won by pavlenko. hell, byhkov only won 5 of those 26 sets played.
Hit with Nemashkalo at -325 now he's +377 against Stanislav Bychkov at 10:20 PST tonight, Bychov is -685.But Stanslav Bychkov is a +271 dog to Roman Pavlenko at 8:50 PST, Pavlenko is -435...
...Trying to map the solid guys but the odds are just crazy with some of these Russina Pro League matches.
The lines...
9:20
Pavlenko -630
Bychkov +358
10:20
Bychkov -730
Nemashkalo +396
10:50
Pavlenko -210
Nemashkalo +148
Is this a left/right thing like El Natural mentioned above?
Also, there's a good example of a pair that one might avoid in game Pavlenko/Byshkov.
You're right, it's only 5 of 26 sets, but they have history for such a big line...
There aren't enough 3-0's here and too many 3-2's.
Now I know he's a big favorite with Bychkov, but look at this history...
We don't have the LIVE line yet, but there could be a 3-0 or, if myagi wins set number 1, a 3-1 bet out there.
I don't know though, I like the -300 to -480 type range. It seems like the best LIVE numbers are found there. We don't typically see many -730's to work with here.
If anyone using 5dimes, their lines are sometimes way off from pinnacle/ bookmaker. Just something I noticed, not even sure if it's a proper market at pinn but maybe someone can use to their benefit
ah, if it was sunny ida been on a roof fixing a leak...just something to do to pass the time now that the basement/shop is clean, oils changed on all vehicles, taxes are done, work set up for this week etc...
