Hello guys, I was wondering what other livescore services do you use, besides livescore.com? any recommendation?
Please excuse my fellow forum mates for not responding already but they aremore focused on what they aren't than what they could be.
from the guy who doesn't have the "time, money or interest" to wager intelligently?
Will Rob Gronkowski score a touchdown?
Yes: -160
No: +140
In Gronkowski's first pro game, he caught one pass for one yard. Yes, of course, it was a touchdown. You could remove his ankle and he's still probably going to catch a touchdown, right?
Will Rob Gronkowski score a touchdown in the first half?
Yes: +175
No: -200
These two bets, taken together, are a very weird mix. The given likelihood of Gronkowski scoring a touchdown in the first half is just 35.3 percent, but his odds of scoring a touchdown in the game are at 59.6 percent. Those two numbers imply that Gronkowski will score in the second half about 92.1 percent of the time, and that a bet on Gronkowski not scoring in the second half would have true odds of about +1166 or so. I hope somebody offers that.

you see this:
Just posing this question. We know that the stats you already have in hand for Gronkowski scoring a TD are based on him being 100% healthy when he scored all the previous TD's. Now he is injured and no one will know if he is going to be 20% or 80% ready for the game. So when you are calculating the odds of him scoring a TD in first or second half do you assume once he starts he is 100% ready like in the previous games where you harvested the stats you are using for this game? Does your model have a variable for player's game fitness?
dont need numbers when the result is that dependent on health; decide whether he's healthy or not, then bet accordingly.
You can take it a step further and do it on all bets not just props, too. Game gonna be high scoring? find bets that fit that criteria (like the over, maybe even look at team totals or even 1st half over!). Game gonna be low scoring? find bets that fit that criteria. Rather ez process IMO.
Thanks. What bothers me about betting on a player scoring a TD without fully knowing the extend of his injury is how long he will be able to play. The Patriots may try to limit his touches only when they are in the red zone so he won't have to run deep routes. So maybe a good bet will be to bet him to score a TD but bet the under on yards caught. So in the event he only plays a few plays and gets injured you can at least cash the under yards caught bet.
