Any Gambling/Sports Discussion At This Place?

Recommended Posts

Ha. Figured that you would throw that Browns flag up there. Reading on some webites that Pitt is headed to the Big Ten. Story has it that all athletes were informed this weeked. Could be BS though as no reports from local media.

Seem to like this place, but it would be nice to see a few sports related threads. Any discussion related to the Browns does not count since they can't be considered a professional franchise. Thanks.

 

Oh boy ... it's on!

 

I'm with you on Penn State, but I have too much respect for Brownie to follow you on the Browns comment. I'm cross state from you and I'm an Eagles fan. As the Steelers have quite a few more Super Bowl rings to the Eagles none, I don't have much to say. Sure did suck to fall to the Buckeyes like we did, but that's how it goes sometimes.

 

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

I would actually like to see Clevland have a decent team, some of the rowdiest games I have ever been to were Steelers/Browns when the Browns were good. Although, considering the last time they had back to back winning records was over 20 years ago, I am a bit older and having trouble remembering those days. smiley-rofl.gif

 

In regard to OSU, I would like to see Pryor become a top qb. I think he has the skills, but can't figure out if it's the system or his brain that is holding him back.

Browns - I think we are on the right track. We took a few guys from Thales' Philly head office and hopefully Holmgren has 1 more run in the tank. We'll see.

 

OSU - Solid as always. Consistently a top ranked team.

 

I guess I choose poorly when I picked the brownsfan name over osufan... damn it.

 

:doh:

 

 

As for pittsburgh - Next year will be an interesting year IMO. Another year like this and will the support for Tomlin remain? I bet Tomlin is watching Troy P's rehab like no other.

 

As for philly - who will be the QB? The ever-reliable, but can't win the big game McNabb? Or the kid waiting to play, but no idea what you got Kolb?

I am a Long long suffering Vikings fan....sigh - I remember the 76 Superbowl against the Raiders and I was all of 7. Am still in disbelief of their ability to find a way to lose last week against the Saints.

 

Look for the Vikes to make a play for McNabb - old Childress connection - and would fit into our scheme (old quarterbacks who can play brilliantly one week - and not so brilliantly the next).

 

Tomlin should have the support for a few more years. Look how long Cower had it prior to winning the big game. Goes to show how much one impact player can affect a team. Troy P is such a huge player for their defense.

Almost 10 years ago a couple of my math and programming guys got together and built some, for then, state of the art handicapping software.

 

These reports and the software are not for sale and this is not an advertisement but here is a short movie that demonstrates what some say is the state of the art in sports handicapping.

 

I did much better using it with baskeball rather than pro-football becasure there are so many more games from which to gather perfromance data.

I couldn't believe the Vikes lost that game - I don't think the Saints won but the Vikes lost.

I don't think that the Saints are anything special. I put down a considerable amout on the Colts ealry last week, though I am concerned a bit now with the Freeney injury. That is a massive loss, and Pittsburgh proved this year that a defense can go from from one of the best ever to a trainwreck with the loss of a one-of-a-kind player. Still think the Colts will win, but not sure about the cover.

Heard a few stories of this type of software, in fact, Billy Walters, the most successful handicapper today runs one and does the "Computer Group" syndicate. Myself and few friends developed a robot to scalp live betting programs, it worked well for a few years. Then the offshore gambling industry went to shit, companies became no pay or slow play, so we had to stop. That was years ago, and actually was the reason I stepped into the trading arena.

I bet small time on MMA fights. If you pick and choose your spots sometimes really strange lines will come up, especially when you have an older name fighter against an up and comer.

Its also nice because it doesn't lend itself to quantitative analysis at all. Sample size for fighters is vastly too small and 2 year old data is basically meaningless because the sport is so young and evolving.

    • Date: 27th November 2024. S&P500 at its 52nd new peak for 2024; USD Firmer, Kiwi & Yen Up. Asia & European Sessions: Wall Street rallied into the close with the S&P500 and Dow registering more record highs with the S&P500 climbing 0.57% to 6045, its 52nd new peak for 2024. The Dow rose 0.28% to 44,860.3 for its 46th record of the year. The NASDAQ advanced 0.63%. Trump named Jamieson Greer as the US Trade Representative and Kevin Hassett to direct the National Economic Council. Greer was intimately involved in Trump’s first-term trade policy decisions. President Biden announced Israel and Hezbollah have reached a cease fire. Over the next 60 days the Lebanese army and state security will take control of their own territory and Israel will gradually withdraw its forces. FOMC minutes: Minutes from the Fed’s latest policy meeting revealed officials leaning toward a cautious approach to future rate cuts. All agreed to cut the rate by -25 bps and nearly all thought risks between achieving employment and inflation goals were “roughly in balance.” Upside risks to the inflation outlook were little changed, and while inflation had eased, it remained elevated. The implied December rate continues to hover around a 50-50 bet as we await the PCE price data Wednesday and the crucial jobs report on December 6. The January 2025 rate is priced for a total of 20 bps in cuts, with -75 bps by January 2026. RBNZ cut its cash rate by 50 bps, yet the Kiwi gained as traders analyzed the central bank’s rate outlook and the governor’s remarks. Chinese government approved a 500 billion yuan ($69 billion) bond quota, enabling two state-owned asset managers to issue bonds for funding projects aimed at spurring economic growth. Today: US inflation and economic growth may provide clues to the Federal Reserve’s next policy move. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex has dropped to currently 106.459. The Yen climbed with USDJPY pulling back to 151.82, while NZDUSD jumped to 0.5900 despite the RBNZ’s 50 bps rate cut. Oil prices stabilized at $68.84, with optimism over delayed OPEC+ output increases balancing the reduced geopolitical risk stemming from the ceasefire. Gold rebounds to 2653.54, with next Resistance at 2660-2664. Always trade with strict risk management. Your capital is the single most important aspect of your trading business.
