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.

    • Dear B4 #42, I heard you can't get out of bed and decided you were going celibate and shaved your head and “reconsidered” having children.  If it took Trump getting elected to get you to stop fkn every Dum, Harry, and Dick you meet, we’ll take it.  thx Sincerely just sayin’ zdo PS To all the other girls I loved B4 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVq0ONrSH-Q 😚

    • Date: 12th November 2024. Market Buzz: Trump Trade Impact! “Trump trade” has boosted the US Dollar and US stocks, but Trump’s policies may have less favorable effects on global assets. Trump’s plan to raise tariffs is expected to negatively impact economies worldwide, especially exporters like China. Asia & European Sessions:   Bitcoin Surge! Bitcoin broke $90K, driven by Trump trade once again. Bitcoin is up roughly 110% in 2024, helped by robust demand for dedicated US ETFs, interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and Trump’s cryptofriendly agenda. Crypto market capitalization has exceeded its pandemic-era peak, reaching $3.1 trillion. Traders are betting on Bitcoin reaching $100,000 by year-end, according to data from the Deribit exchange. Open interest — or outstanding contracts — for CME Group Inc. futures for Bitcoin and second-ranked Ether (ETHUSD) scaled records on Monday, a sign of growing engagement by US institutional investors. Asian shares dropped, alongside European and US equity futures, as traders evaluated the implications of President-elect Donald Trump’s policy agenda and potential cabinet choices. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index fell for a third consecutive day, driven by rising Treasury yields amid concerns that Trump’s proposed tax cuts could increase inflation. There are also reports that Trump is considering two individuals for prominent roles in his administration with track records of criticizing China. DAX and FTSE100 are down -1.1% and -0.5% respectively, after a pickup in German HICP inflation and higher than expected UK wage growth dampened easing expectations. Investors await the US CPI report for insights into the Fed’s easing path, as Trump’s inflationary policies may lead to fewer rate cuts. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex continues to rise and is currently at 105.75. It hit a 1-year high. EURUSD drifts to 1.0620 and GBPUSD is in a sell off, currently at 1.2800. Oil prices fell after their biggest 2-week decline, amid a weak demand outlook from China, a stronger US Dollar, and concerns over a potential oversupply. Crude oil has traded within a narrow range since mid-last month, influenced by Middle East tensions, the US election, and OPEC+ output decisions. Gold remains under pressure and is currently at just $2604.36 per ounce. It hit a one-month low, down 5% since Trump’s election victory, as a strong dollar and US equity rotation pressured the metal. Gold’s decline was also technical, breaking below the 50-day moving average, causing funds to cover long positions. Despite recent drops, gold remains up 25% for the year, supported by central bank purchases and geopolitical risks. Always trade with strict risk management.
