Well that didn’t work
October 8th, 2007
All the combinations lost, even the control group. Now why didn’t it work? I’m going to try it again this week with NHL and other sports that I won’t have any influence on this time.
I thought my limited expertise about NFL would overcome the odds that are on the house’s side.
Each game has 3 options, V T H, so 1/3 chance of each but they’re edited based on Las Vegas analysts that make the odds and on top of that house needs some.
So instead of getting 1/9 odds, on average from all the NFL games you get 1/8.43 which means instead of paying out $9 on a $1 bet they’ll only pay $8.43 which gives them a 7% advantage… Still I think it should have worked.
I’ll post my next experiment soon.
