God’s Tid-Bets Vol. 2
Joe Duffy (OffshoreInsiders.com)
Here is our latest in a series: a Godgepodge of thoughts on sports gambling strategy.
North Carolina Demonstrates What We’ve Said
We so often talk about how gamblers use inductive thinking rather than deductive. We are tired of hearing about handicapping guard play first and foremost. North Carolina won the National Championship because of a dominating inside game. Many teams have great guard play but few teams have a dominant paint presence. Vermont was this year’s small college darling because of Taylor Coppenrath the 6-foot-9 forward.
Sure you can win without dominant big men because there is not a plethora of such out there. But the biggest disappointments every year also happen to be guard oriented teams.
From Bill Walton and Lou Alcindor to Danny Manning to Scott May and Larry Bird, dominant big men are the X-factor in college hoops.
Outlaw Lines
We often get questions about our outlaw line, which is a valuable handicapping tool. We have a system that combines the Pinnacle, Olympic and Stardust opening lines, but is weighed based on which comes in first.
It is very important to draw the distinction between steam moves and the opening line when evaluating which casinos are sharpest.
Steam moves are now worthless out of Vegas because of low limits and limited sharp action. However we still find the actual opening line from the Stardust very sharp. So “live” lines from the Strip have no value, but the actual opening line does. This is especially true in college basketball as the initial Vegas line is sharp.
Time Supersedes Number of Games
In both college basketball and the NBA, handicappers disproportionately reflect on recent games giving too little weight to overall performance to date. It’s true to a lesser extent in football, but true nonetheless. College football and baseball is where we most amalgamate recent occurrence into winning. Baseball it’s because over the endless season the peaks are valleys have a much longer shelf life, while our research and experience proves the most dramatic momentum swings and adjustments occur on the college gridiron. Depth is more of a factor and the surprises and disappointments are more pronounced.
That being said, when reasoning recent performance most of the public gambling sites go X-number of games back rather than what we’ve found to be the superior parameter, that being days back. For example going back five games in the NBA could be seven days for one team and perhaps 11 for the other. Looking at a pitcher’s last three starts is not always comparing apples to apples if one guy is the No. 1 starter in a four man rotation and the other guy is the fifth guy in a rotation that often skips the fifth starter. If for example because of injury one guy skipped a start or two, simply looking at the last three or five starts can be very deceptive.
In the NBA, we find recent performance is better defined by 10 days rather than five games. Baseball we go back seven days for teams and 30 days for pitchers.
Baseball stats
One of the articles that you the readers thanked us for the most as being extremely helpful was when we wrote about WHIP versus ERA in handicapping. WHIP (walks and hits per innings pitched) is too often ignored and balanced with ERA they each test the statistical reliability of the other.
Analogous is handicapping offense. We have always said that baseball’s real Triple Crown would be on base percentage, slugging percentage and runs produced. When it comes to handicapping offense, there is no question that is handicapping’s Triple Crown. Steve Mann a long-time baseball statistical guru always asserted that (on base percentage)* (slugging percentage) was the ultimate way to gauge offensive production. We consider that Gospel from a handicapping standpoint.
Duffy’s plays are part of the Dream Team at OffshoreInsiders.com. He is perhaps the most published and respected author on sports gambling theory and has been featured as a regular guest as the handicapping expert on the Rick Ballou Show on Sporting News Radio, the Meat and Potatoes gambling show, Pro Fantasy Sports Internet radio and Grogan’s Fantasy Football show. His Wise Guy Plays available exclusively at OffshoreInsiders.com are widely respected as the biggest play in the handicapping abyss. We don’t have the marketing budget of Jim Feist or Wayne Root and his Winning Edge. We make up for it with hard work and winning.
Discipline in Betting
Don’t Scream Fire in a Crowded Sportsbook
Joe Duffy (www.godspicks.com)
Frankly as I type this I’m in the middle of a slump. However history tells me by the time I finish
scribing this article and it makes publication, we will be in the midst of a
windfall. The key for a quality
handicapper is to stay the course. My occupation is my addiction. As a result
the only time I give myself off is the all-star break in baseball. Off betting
that is. We use that time to write articles. Every now and then Christmas Eve
will have no action, so I go to Midnight Mass. The point is (you were
wondering) when we gamble more than 360 days a year, there are peaks and
valleys.
With two-plus decades of experience, we know our peaks
greatly outnumber the valleys and thus cannot and will not panic during our
fleeting slumps even though each losing day seems like a month to us. We don’t decrease the size or number of bets
nor do we increase during our more prevalent winning streaks. Heck I’ve seen
that screaming dude from Philly on CNBC, Jim Cramer talk about the highs and
lows he’s had on Wall Street. But he’s
considered the mogul of stocks.
Discipline no doubt is a major reason.
As the ole saying goes “It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon”.
No self-sustaining gambler lives and dies off of a few nights. Pressing one’s
luck, panicking, chasing, are among the deadly sins of gambling.
One of the symptoms of a degenerate gambler is someone who
lives and dies by the game. Not only is
there no such thing as a bailout game, but self-control ensures there should
ever be a need for one.
In the pre-Internet days I announced on the scorephones,
which at the time were the pre-eminent source for gambling information and also
where sports services salivated to advertise.
Regrettably the owner of the company did sell advertising to the highest
bidder and inevitably every Monday Night Football promo for the 800 number scamdicappers involved the buzzword “bailout”. They knew there were so many degenerate
gamblers in a state of panic from losing money in the two days previous and
were desperate to cancel it out on one game.
Lucky for the books and casinos, restraint is something
few gamblers have.
Many money experts will advise smart investors to bet the
same amount each month into their 401(k ). It’s the same
principle in gambling. Don’t panic during losing streaks or press during
winning streaks. Stay the course.
We gamblers tend to be the most superstitious people in
the world. It’s fine if it affects your
rooting and watching habits but should never cross the line of impinging your
handicapping.
Yes even we professionals have been there where every late
run seems to go against us. I’ve sat in
front of the television waiting for the missed free throw by my team followed
by the meaningless wide open three-pointer by the bad guys at the buzzer for
the half-point cover. When Lady Luck has
screwed us over the previous 72 hours, we see it coming again better than Nostradamus ever did.
While I won’t deny even those of us who make a living
picking winners are not immune from the snake bitten feeling of doom, we still
tow the line knowing with proper handicapping and willpower we win a lot more
than we lose.
Feeling bedeviled from a short-term string of last second
losses has had me chomping at the bit wanting to hedge a “so far, so good”
winning play on the half-time line.
Rejection of the power of that nasty whore Lady Luck actually is easier
said than done for the short-sighted and sometimes even so for those who know
better.
Greed when placing bets can turn a 55 percent ATS winning
percentage into a “losing” record, quickly in fact. Hysteria during stagnant periods can turn 45
percent into the bankroll equivalent 10 percent less. Often the biggest
difference between the wealthy and destitute gambler is not mere winning
percentage but the ability to use self-control during the downturns.
A lot of things go into making money gambling, with the
ability to pick winners far and away No. 1. Being a good line shopper increases
that. But more times than not, the degenerate gambler is not someone who always
loses, but somebody who can’t properly manage losing.

USC +6’ UCLA
UCLA’s options at center are limited when starter Ryan Hollins is on the bench or has fouled out,
as was the case last week against
Freshman Ryan Wright is being brought along slowly, sophomore
Lorenzo Mata is still several weeks from attempting a comeback
from a broken leg, and senior Michael Fey is barely used by
Coach Ben Howland.
That leaves power forward Alfred Aboya,
a freshman still behind on the learning curve after missing the early part of
the season following arthroscopic surgery on his knees. Now he’s being
asked to learn another position.
USC plays their final game ever in the Sports Arena and
would love nothing better than to close it out against a team that beat them by

lack motivation. We look for it to stay
