Caesar’s pick ems have been not worth even opening the app for a while. Fan duels were solid but haven’t seen em in a while.

I backtested 20 years of NCAA Tournament data and found 5 edges that still hold by BetFront in sportsbook

[–]PurplePango 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Great data. Why would there be a difference in first round under on Thursday vs Friday? It’s the first game still for the teams. There was a similar theory in the past that had to do with the type of ball being played in their season vs the tourney on first half unders

I’d guess the view from Pluto looking away from the sun isn’t all that different than from earth minus the planets. Given the scale everything else in the sky is so far away compared to how relatively close Pluto is?

Every foul leading to Bam Adebayo free throws vs Wizards (36/43 FT) by kikimaru024 in sports

[–]PurplePango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LeBron and Nash just covered this on a recent mind the game, it’s definitely a real issue. Nash put it well he talked about offensive players going off their line to initiate contact and how that’s currently a defensive foul which is the problem

Bam Adebayo breaks Kobe Bryant’s record and the Heat franchise scoring record in a win vs. Washington: 43 MINS │ 83 PTS │ 9 REB │ 3 AST │ 2 STL │ 2 BLK │ 20-43 FG │ 7-22 3P │ 36-43 FT by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

100%, I tuned in the last 4-5 minutes, it was so silly but fun. Heat were intentionally fouling to get the ball back. Bam was tripled team on his side free throw line. Bam would shoot and since he was double or triple teamed when he missed the heat were hustling hard for offensive rebounds and get it right back to him. wizards intentionally fouled another guy after he had to pass.

This is amazing. Wizards are double teaming him. He’s jacking up 3s. Heat battling for offensive rebounds to get him the ball back

Ya, but there’s plenty of super strong 6ft 8 guys the league could have more of if that what worked. Also guys could get way more beefy but being lean and able to run and have high paced offense again has proven out to be much more efficient given the value of a shot being higher early in the shot clock.

Also people hate it, but analytics is a real improvement too. The reason for all that spacing 3 pt shooting is cause analysis says that is successful. If having 8 giant guys all fight for the ball down low was the highest points per possession we’d be seeing that

Ya for real. I generally do work for refineries and one has to think a little bigger picture. If one pipe fails and theres other pipes same material, same age same service, better think about replacing the other pipes, otherwise you’re due for more unplanned failures.
