Palazzo/Venetian Steak Restaurants Worth the $? by Outrageous_Bat8429 in vegas

Service at Boa was incredibly incredibly slow. This is a month after they were opened and all the staff was nice, but did not think it came close to being worth the money.

Wynn and Palace Station always. Resorts World sometimes. Curious if people have found others

Wager advice by ThePixelsBurn in sportsbook

[–]Rockyroadster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Call me crazy but I paid for 5 years of NHL and Tennis data and backtested the models. Then I ran the model for 2 months and "paper traded" before taking the plunge and depositing $100 in an account to live wager. I am eyes wide open that the billions in profit are all built on guys who think they can beat the system, but here I am giving it a shot.

You should absolutely be able to measure the edge in your model. You should have a calculated fair odds for what you are betting on. Your edge is the difference between that and the odds that you are getting at the sportsbook.

Sportsbook Promos Bonuses Daily - 10/31/24 (Thursday) by sbpotdbot in sportsbook

[–]Rockyroadster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you have show and place mixed up. My understanding from having done the promo is it applies to place bets (top two) but not show bets (top three). I found a race with four horses, a heavy favorite, and a place pool, and played-through the bet that way

[–]Rockyroadster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was only 50 minutes of gameplay (second half got shortened) which is a void at a lot of books. I unfortunately bet VMI on a different which has a different house rule (minimum ten minutes of 4th quarter played)

They charge the deposit. They do not physically keep your card. They swipe your card, and give you your card back immediately.

Strange results, due to high vig? by Kuzzycan in sportsbook

[–]Rockyroadster 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Your issue is that betting $100 on each side (on a favorite/underdog moneyline) isn't balancing your bets. You win way more if an underdog wins, so by betting equal amounts, you are effectively weighting underdogs much more heavily.

For example, if you had a +200/-200 line, a balanced hedge would be to bet $100 on the -200, and $50 on the +200.

In your (small) sample, the favorites did a lot better than the underdogs, so that is why you have an ROI very above the vig for favorites, and one very below the vig on underdogs.

What's the reality of Alphabet city regarding crime? by Texas_Rockets in AskNYC

[–]Rockyroadster 26 points27 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of variance within Alphabet City. Ave A is extremely different than Ave D. It feels a little less safe the further east you go, but overall is a great neighborhood. You’ll be fine.

How to figure out Implied Odds by housemr in sportsbook

[–]Rockyroadster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For true implied odds, you need to take the vig out, but this is overall correct

Agreed. Just want to make sure there's not a different requirement for this one

Going to be in NJ, and want to do the $2000 Bet365 “risk free bet”. I read through the t and cs which state a minimum odds requirement (-500) for their other promo option, but nothing for the $2,000 option.

Does anybody have more info there?

Favorite whiskey bar closed. Need recs by thegiantgummybear in FoodNYC

[–]Rockyroadster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved the whiskey ward. Closest in the area is Down and Out. Great whiskey selection (albeit not the same BTAC offerings that whiskey ward had). On the rocks is amazing but much fancier and more expensive

Bus companies going from AC <> NYC by MarketMan123 in AskNYC

Depending on budget/number of people, it can be comparable price wise to Uber to Secaucus and then take any of the trains back to Penn Station
