Is Accuscore worth joining

Thoughts?

Why join that when you already have us?

But if you really consider joining, see if there are a group of people you know who can share the account--split the cost.

if I remember right...someone tried this in NBA...maybe if you search you can find it and see if it worked for them. GL

my opinion is no, accuscore is not worth joining. in almost every game, the percentage of team winning (is equvilant to the - money line amount) or in spread sports, projections are almost right on the spread every time.

example boston say the line is -210 and that correlates to like a 63% chance of winning in the betting world, accuscore will have their prediction at 64%.

now say in football, bears -4 vs packers, accuscore will have a project score of like 21.7 to 18.2 or some shit like that.

What betting world is this?

Thanks for the quick replies...the only problem that i am running into is that baseball is great to see who (and forgive me for saying this but) has a winning record, while football season is different...

only 18 games in nfl and college can be a little messy with the sheer volumn of games...that is coming from me who has no clue how to handicapp games but is trying to learn

its more like 67-68% of bets you need to win at -210 to break even. Then you take off the fact that there's juice, and it works out to the books basically giving a -210 shot of winning around 65% of the time.

Accuscore is more of a thinking man's tool that can be used to decent benefit if you like to crunch numbers etc, if you want picks on a plate they arent great for that. Also have you looked at foxsheets? they are quite good if you want to handicap games.
