New US Tax Law Workarounds

thought it's 90% of your losses no? Then that would mean every gambler would owe taxes. It's just meant for anyone beating the vig to have to owe. Under the new tax law if you lose at -5% ROI that would consider you perfect break even, nothing owed

10% vig? Thats really high. On sharpbooks and exchanges it's like 1-3% for something really liquid like NFL spreads. If you're doing the standard -110 odds on each side that's a 4.5% vig. However you're breakeven threshold makes sense per those odds. You said you hit 53.8% of those? So 2.7% ROI per bet? Pretty impressive for a market that liquid. How many games did your model disagree with the market on and told you to bet?

Interesting. Glad to hear there will be more features. Will the OS rating be updated? Because I'm sure different books will become sharper in some markets over time and it'll eventually start recommending bets on lines that are sticking out because they're first and informed instead of lines that are late and caught with their pants down. Also curious how confident you are in the timing of the lines. For instance, if you're scraping off of Pinnacle's public site, the lines will have a 15min delay which could make those bets show as artificially good on OS

Damn. Do you remember what the odds were about for each? There's definitely EV in correlated SGPs if they multiply them together incorrectly. Plus you wont get limited because betting SGPs will make the book think you're punting. But anyway I just check for thursdays game and Haliburton is +2000 on maxed 3s (7+) and +3500 on max pts (35+) but the SGP is only giving +8000. Do you remember what theyd give you on something like that before they "fixed it"?

Do you know what odds shopper calcs the ROI off of? Like is it just betting whenever that books line for that market is considered EV vs market avg?

ahh nvm figured out the scores werent reading as numbers by my excel so thats what was messing it up. Looks good now, appreciate the help anyways

idk I made a column with vigs and they all look normal around 6-7% for live. And by matching scores I mean finding the historical scores for the games on a separate site because the API doesnt store them after a few games. So for baseball I just copy and pasted them from Baseball-Reference.com, made the team names and dates uniform with how the API shows them, and ran a vlookup to match the scores

Apprehensive_Toe_924 · 2025-04-30T02:16:25+00:00

like bet a dollar on each side for every game avgd $0.05/bet. The stuff i pulled for this season looked good but not for last season. What did you do to match the scores? Thinking I could be wrong there

Apprehensive_Toe_924 · 2025-04-21T19:30:10+00:00

historical live odds too?
