BMR BEST BET THREAD - September 12, 2022 🛑

[Tanko]

Post your strongest bet of the day. You can use any sport you want, all types of straight wagers accepted, just make it clear.

1. You may play money lines, but only between -300 and +300
2. Scoring is as follows; -110 is risking 1.10 to win 1.00 and risking +110 is risking 1.00 to win 1.10
3. Post the following information:
   Date
   Your record and +/- units
   The play, line, the odds (Use American Odds, not Decimal)
   The book
4. For MLB wagers, both listed pitchers must start in order for your play to be valid unless stated "Action" for the game.
5. For Soccer and Tennis plays: List the date, time, the opponent and how draws and retirements are to be graded.
6. Plays must be posted before the official start time.
7. If the odds posted with a play appear to be in error (i.e. significantly differs from the line found on BMR odds), an average of the "big" 4 books (BM, Heritage, BOL, 5Dimes) will be used to determine the applicable line to apply to the play.
8. No Parlays/Teasers
9. Do not edit your post or it will be graded as a -330 loss. If you omit something (e.g. the book), you may add a new post indicating that information as long as it is before the event starts. The play and the odds cannot be changed once posted. Contest participants must follow more stringent posting guidelines.

*NO FUTURE WAGERS ALLOWED - Plays must have final results on the day posted*
**NO RECORD, NO LINE, NO ODDS, NO BOOK = NO ACTION**.

Denver -6½ -110 (Saracen in Arkansas)

I have been on a terrible run. I had what I thought was a great play Saturday on S. Carolina @+9½ and I am glad I did not post it here as it lost. That being said I think Seattle is terrible this year. Denver has a legit defense and I can see them shutting the Seahawks down. Hate to lay 6½ on the road but I am going into this thinking the Hawks will have a very hard time scoring. GL!!!

 

[Hunch]

Tanko, you should still get the win for yesterday. They still covered even at -1.5 pts.

I think the rules are lacking for this situation. Should add in a rule that if someone uses a line that turns out to be a stuck or error feed, their play just gets adjusted to the next best one that is in line with the market.

The way a bad line was managed in LCS contest was to take an avg of the big 4 books and use that for the play. We can add that to the rules.

The downside is, I don't monitor 100% of the Best Bets posted for bad lines. I'll x-check if a play looks "off" and usually PM the poster but I'm not policing it in detail.

I've added RULE 7 in the first post to hopefully address the issue.

Yeah that's understandable. Wouldn't expect you to spend a lot of time policing it.

But the rule would be good to have if the same situation arises again.

Guys are gonna make their decisions and scan BMR quickly and use the best line and not necessarily check with other books to see if it's in line or a stuck feed.
