ice man said:Fishhead, Thanks for taking all the time and helping me with this. I put together a chart (old school- pen,paper and calculator) and played out 100 bets saying each # 1-10 would hit 3.35 % and than figurd out with the different vig sizes how much money would be won making 100 wagers (1pt,1.5 2 middles). I know you have been saying that but for some reason i don't comprehend how to utilize that #(6.5 cents) to figure it out. I want this to profitable in the longterm so I need to be 100% accurate and I'm not sure if I fully understand how to figure it out.
For ALL numbers UNDER ten you should never risk more than 6.5 cents per half point.
For instance...
-3 -104
+4 -110
In this example you would be risking a TOTAL of 14 cents for the two half points which would equal to 7 cents per half.........not good(have to stay at 6.5 or lower.
Make the numbers 2 and 7 worth a penny more........7.5 cents.
So, I personally would play something like this......
-4 -104
+5.5 -114
That is 18 cents divided by 3(half points)........so therefore you are paying 6 cents per half.............which is a VERY small win longterm using our 6.7 cent criteria(7.5 cents on the numbers 2 and 7).
