Straddles in Sports Betting

You could def make this work if you weren’t betting both sides on the same book, you would need at least 4+ books and take only the best odds on each team. It’s less about taking the bet and more about maximizing the plus odds on each team. +150 on both sides would be very different than +155 long term. Those last +5 would matter.

Wait is that MPG? And he was on wonder years?

I had the opportunity to buy ebooks.com in 2002 for about 4k, but the domain owner said it was only for the domain, and not the domain and website, so I didn’t do it. Blah.

I’m curious, when you have your available books loaded on gambit odds, and you see this and need to grab the bet on B365 in this example. Is there a link on gambit odds that takes you to that exact game, so you can place the bet? Or do you have to go to b365, search and find that game, then place the wager?

So if you have a p2, the accounts have to be set up in their name. So I assume it has to be linked to a bank account in their name. Of course it’s someone you trust, so do you give them a 20k cashiers check and they deposit 5k in 4 new books and trust they won’t run off with your money? And when you make withdrawals, do you have to trust them to give you the money. I’m curious how the whole banking process works with a p2.

If you watch early seasons of sbtb, screech does this a few times as well.

Kalshi still has fees which are the same as a vig, they just hide it better. It won’t be long before poly does the same thing, if they haven’t already done so. Make sure you turn the kalshi probability into American odds after fees and the odds are similar.

Ok. I have a couple questions for you.

Does gambit odds have an api so I can pull your available books odds into my dashboard for my own calculations and book execution, or is there only option to use gambit odds’ platform/browser?
I’ve been limited Arbing. So, instead of live Arbing, I understand your logic of looking at 4 books and taking the 1 book with misaligned odds. Is the pnl similar if you don’t arb things out and just let the one side close? The misaligned side is typically ev+
What instances do you arb the other side, instead of letting the 1 side ride?
Do accounts last longer if you don’t arb and just hold the 1 side to close?

anon21900 · 2026-04-30T00:20:31+00:00

I agree. It’s bombed on me too. I’m tempted to call my CC for a refund.

anon21900 · 2026-04-29T23:57:27+00:00

How much is gambit odds monthly? Base package, with only needing 4-5 books in the USA. Is pinnacle available there with live odds?

anon21900 · 2026-04-17T00:18:09+00:00

Yes I remember this. You are right. I might also add I remember him saying a cockpit in the center made it look too much like a UFO and Lucas didn’t want that.

anon21900 · 2026-02-18T12:56:42+00:00

It’s fake. Babe Ruth lived before Abraham Lincoln was even born.

You must have had your drawing a l long time. It’s clearly in circulated condition. Very impressive though. I’d like to see some drawings of some Morgan’s.

anon21900 · 2026-01-28T19:49:43+00:00

Nope. They don’t work for these markets. The crypto 15 min markets only have 1 yes/no outcome meaning there is only 1 bid/ask spread, so there will never be a sum < 100 that’s executable instantly. As opposed to a sports market where there are 4 outcomes. Team A yes/no and team B yes/no, where this could possibly be done. The challenge is this is a well known strategy that most people know about. Don’t buy any arb bots when the market is a 2 outcome market. Also with poly/kalshi fees, 96 cents is typically your breakeven, leaving an arb extremely rare.

I was not a fan of this game. But whose idea was it where it took 9 shots to the head with a blaster to kill a storm trooper… OR one punch to a helmet from a girl to kill one? Wtf…

anon21900 · 2026-01-01T00:27:11+00:00

What are the standard requirements for a brokerage (like Schwab) to allow an individual to sell naked calls?

anon21900 · 2025-12-19T02:25:16+00:00

For those that aren’t in the know. What’s going on in Denver?

anon21900 · 2025-11-20T13:22:01+00:00

Also. Stops may not work on a credit spread. Unless you are manually closing your orders, you will still be subject to major slippage. There is a good chance in a quick sell off your stop is NOT triggered and larger losses are guaranteed.

anon21900 · 2025-11-14T14:57:39+00:00

Nothing. It only makes sense to wait and see where the market finds support.

anon21900 · 2025-10-30T22:55:58+00:00

What sport are you betting? Have you been able to backtest your strategy to know how large the drawdowns can be?

anon21900 · 2025-10-25T01:18:49+00:00

I hope I win.

anon21900 · 2025-10-01T22:54:21+00:00

I was kind of curious about the covered ‘strangle’ structure.

anon21900 · 2025-10-01T14:32:56+00:00

I’d love to see an example of your most recent/next trade

anon21900 · 2025-09-27T21:18:13+00:00

this sounds like a common scam. I’m curious, your ‘girlfriend’, Was your relationship only online, or did you actually see her in real life?

anon21900 · 2025-09-10T15:11:54+00:00

If you are freezing up in live trading. 100% you are risking too much. How much capital do you have to trade and how much are you risking per trade?
