Good morning to everyone,

(Sheet follows).

First of all, to say that I disagree with all the skirmishes in the forum, no reason. I don't know what has finally happened with the band or not (I'm talking about value and error), but I'm not looking for it much, I don't have the luxury of time, lately.
Starting with what was written there, I wanted to dig a little further into the 0% rake theme. Something didn't stick with all of this and I started looking for it in theory and also re-checking the code I had written and corrected 1-2 conditions and also rounded up more accurately the performances. The result was different and I will list below what happened.

I'll start with a question that nobody ever asked themselves, looking at the performance of the companies:

"Why do companies cut their pack to find the RIGHT returns?" Or at least as accurate as possible? Why hire staffs, statisticians, mathematicians, psychologists, economists. Why not give an odds of 5 up or 5 down and get the job done? And a group of players to gather, I think will give numbers close to the odds. Why;

Let's go a little bit at a simple but extreme example in mathematics to understand some things. The following yields are without rake.
Suppose we play singles in a bucket. Book A gives us 2,0-2,0 performance, mastery and good in math. Buccane B, who owns a rake but does a lot of math, gives us 1,50-3,00. Question: Which book will I play? And 2 without a rake.
In the second block I have 0,5 * 1,50 + 0,5 * 3,00 = 2,25 / 2 = 1,125, so + 12,5% average profit if I play at luck.
Here's another example: Buick A, the right one, gives us real 1,22-5,56 chances. That is, 82% -18%.
B comes again and tells us "I give 1,30-4,35". Irrelevant again? Yes, but to our detriment now:
0,82 * 1,30 + 0,18 * 4,35 = 1,85 / 2 = approx. 0,925. That is, the average gap -7,5%.
What do we see? That the buck, whenever he strays away from the real chances, he is very likely to be defeated or taken away by us.
Another example: Real odds 1,85-2,17, Book B gives 1,69-2,44. If we do the calculations, average profit + 1,7%.
If one looks at several examples, which I did, one would see that the closer the chances are to the 50-50, the lower the gain or the chuckle.

1 Conclusion: Buck wants a match that is close to 50-50 because it eliminates the possibility of a rash due to an error in estimation.
2 Conclusion According to 1, the player wants a long distance match in the odds because there he can take advantage of odds. In short, if I know that the XBook is underestimating or overestimating results, I choose 1,10-10 and not 1,50-3,00.

Someone will say, nice boy, but how do I know what to do? Should I play 10.000 bets on luck? Does it suit?

After fixing some things in the code, I ran it again and the result is in favor of the player and I'll explain the data.
I assume I'm playing under-over, I get a random value from 6-94 for over and the rest from 100 is under. Why from 6-94? To be able to underestimate or overestimate returns at random.
Then I raise or lower the actual 5 units, that is, if I have over 40%, then the company over will become 45%, which means that in percentages it would be 2,50 and 2,22. After I draw, random player selection and result: + 6% for player.
As I reduce the rate of overstatement or depreciation, the profit falls and ends up at 0, when the company's returns match the actual returns.
3 conclusion, companies want rake in to protect themselves from mistakes, obviously.

I was talking yesterday to someone who owns the sport as a mathematician and after I told him the whole experiment, he told me that yes I can win, but again this is not the right strategy. So he told me that the right strategy is that once you win in the big gaps, the strategy should be "I bet the highest odds" and not in the blind.
In fact I tried it and the profits almost doubled: + 11%.
Then I remembered an old man on the forum who said over and over again "how do they calculate bf and give a yield of 500? Odds of 1000? Why not 400 or 900 respectively?".
He was probably right then, because the great returns are the great values ​​and the big mistakes.

I would like to say that these are my conclusions, in no way applicable since you cannot find thousands of games with 0% rake. Also the basic assumption that is made is that the stock is underestimated or overvalued at random with a probability of 50-50. If he does one of the two permanently, we will either become rich or go to prison.
I hope we all become a little wiser, get food for thought. I also don't want guns and am available to give code that I wrote for testing, maybe making mistakes. O @PyBet can read and write I guess, maybe other kids.
 
Things are very simple for a trader in a company if he does his job properly. He has open in a quartet some people have 6, in one the betradar with what he has shouldered to watch, one the page for the company he works for, one the betfair and one for his party. The purpose of the trader is either to give the average he wants, or if he is a star in those who have shouldered a normal performance and to be a little not much, a little faster than the market. That is, even if he believes that a point will be at 1,80 when the point is 2, he should not give it 10 from the beginning but give 1,80. Is the market going to 2,00? He goes to 2,00. It is not in his interest to drop the price alone and abruptly so as not to take big bets in other places. After all, the fact that he can predict a price does not mean that it will be verified. So he either knows or does not know a market he will be right since he will play at the prices of others. red while if he earns a lot of money, if he is green, if he chooses certain things eg Indonesian football while he does not play any European football, he goes to the limit it is a matter of time to enter as well as if he plays volleyball, handball, and such balls .. If he is new and he stays green for a while, he eats a limit, if he becomes green for a while, you watch him, do you have to put a limit on him? General conclusion you will not make money with any patent from softbook except with a few words. In all other cases, eat less. Well, I wrote these so that some people forget the case that I can win a company. You do not win it because you will eat a limit, you do not win it, it plays with a 1,90% rake, that one can only do in an exchange.
 
I put the theory (if I'm not mistaken somewhere).
Yes, when the company has the rake pad, any company mistake that would be useful is lost to the player.

And theory for me has a mistake and I'll tell you. Suppose one plays only the outsiders and while it comes out positive at prices such as 2,80-5,00 it does not come out positive at prices higher than 5. What do we do if we only play underdogs? The numbers of course need to be verified, that is to say some odds over 5 are to be won but if the matches that are higher than 5 and verified do not belong to those that have 0 rake then they are not betting then what? This theory has many uncertainties that this theory cannot substantially confirm. For example, Nikos, who works as a senior trainer in the company, selects zero rake matches where 60% wins the favorites in 1,6 performance and resigns and takes over the 66% confirmed favorites in the 1,60% chance. do you react when you don't know as a player that Stavros replaced Nick while those who know the percentage know why they work for the company and keep records? There are so many uncertainties that in fact even theory is almost impossible to confirm.

Why not give an odds of 5 up or 5 down and get the job done? And a group of players to gather, I think will give numbers close to the odds. Why;
My conclusion as of now is that depending on the company, each one is protected by performance gaps that he gives with different mod.Asia-Pinnacle by delaying to open returns having the advantage of seeing the trend in other companies, and when they open European by limiting players who make mistakes, and copying performance from others (Bet365 in the beginning and after Asia). Co-workers, for me, corporation excludes all companies, I believe they have few, and all to have If you exclude any 20 well known European championships, the big international match, in almost all other championships the original sets of soft book starters and bet365 subsequently, very often do not include a neutral seat or a common seat. That alone tells me a lot: That companies consider this to be primarily the business of the players. And of course, in some cases the mistake of deliberately giving up and trader doing trading as a player is not excluded.
 
I put the theory (if I'm not mistaken somewhere).
Yes, when the company has the rake pad, any company mistake that would be useful is lost to the player.
Have you noticed a favorable performance from the moment it opens, until the race starts, statistically the favorite has fallen?

Without any arguments, it is not right to say .....
If you believe what you are saying you should have stopped betting already ...

There is one and only way to beat the rake. Let's put it not 5% but 10% ....

I agree with you, one way that at least works for me (for all time) is live.
Because my bets are 70-30 live-prematch, I find that mistakes occur in various odds (I compare 365, Pinyin, Sbo) and other books when they occur and I bet them sometimes and I think it helps to avoid eating too much. or at least prolong it.
Let me stress again how it works for me at the moment.
* Always in football markets.

@fairplay No reason to argue, just enough proof or logic (I prefer 2o).
I have stopped playing the right way of betting, ie single games. And this is because I have no capital, so that I can have some decent profits in a reasonable time.
Now if you say forecasting as a way to beat the rake, I don't disagree. Just my experience so far shows that few earn it ...
@ Balaton Yeah maybe you're right. In my experiment I thought that the company would constantly overestimate or underestimate the same percentage of games and if something changes, the condition may not apply anymore.
But I can assume that if I collect all the companies and their returns, the average returns will be very close to the real. Which means that the highest performing company has to bet.

Good morning ...:)
With the foresight you never beat the rake in the long run, so again we disagree but who cares?:)
The rest of what you say about the non-existence of kavas is all understandable and humane, after all we all bet on his money just as much as he loves it ...
The most important thing is losing - winning to know why you lost - winning .... if you lose and you don't know why you will lose again because you don't know what to avoid ... if you win and you don't know why you can't repeat why you lost the recipe ....

Let me give you an example with 0%,

2,43 -3,40-3,40

if 2,43 comes, what does it mean?

if x = 3,40 comes what does it mean?

and if 2 comes = 3,40 what does it mean?

Based on what does Bouk suppose to come?
 
At least say what you meant when you said the rake was winning ... How?

Gladly :)
You completely ignore the rake and wish it well and 10% the book when you actually manage to find valium but with 30% plus ...

And in order not to be theoretical about the conversation and for the younger ones to give a tangible example .... yesterday iliakis (his bravo) gave an 1dnb @ 5,00 from 3 Norway which ended almost on 2,00 ...
Played on 5,00 ....
Closed on 2,00 ....
Find out for yourself what an advantage it had and subtract the rake to see the net advantage it had ....
What are we talking about?
And all this no matter the result .... going out or losing a particular bat doesn't say anything .... we care about the whole ....
I think I was clear ...
For the story, the bet came out, and in fact, we said it didn't play a role.
A big gift to Mr. Iliakis :)

Don't just speculate that with 30 you have such a limit etc etc .... the bet is unfortunately .... you win and sometimes you lose the limit and you are the best customer of the bottle ...
Only with the right prediction can you beat the short term or the medium term ...... in the long run it will earn you as good a prediction as you have ....

A big pillow ..... a great pillow as a good friend of mine says ... the bigger the better .....
 
An example
soo%% .jpg



Did you give the point 2=2,15@ correctly?

What point if you were to bet you would bet?
 
On the one hand, the opinion is honest, but with what reason did she share it?
The Czech Republic has played 4 races with strong midfielders and bad guys. Montenegro also 4 races in the same circumstances.
The Czech Republic has won the 2 matches and lost the other 2 .... 50% wins.
Montenegro has 2 defeats and 2 Draws.
With 2 draws it occupies the other 50% of the other side.
You tell me playing and winning is not 50% the draw rate.
From nowhere to 50% the Czech stopper wins.
What we have???? 2.00 Performance for Czech Republic Numbers Say.
To pinch the seat a little? 2.10 I think it's good to see ... oh what a coincidence;)

Now it has America with France I like America's victory and the odds given by the stake 1,32: Unsure:
 
For Lary, apparently the book has cost him the example of a fight

will be 90% at least point X = 3,65, and cause the Chinese to bait 2,15 out of there.
Because normally X had to have the 1,30 poly !!
Don't you wonder why X rarely drops below 2,60?
