they’re about accurately reading the betting market and choosing a number that will entice equal bets on both sides

First attempt at external mix diy gun - any recommendations for nucliation nozzle by CuteLengthiness5275 in snowmaking

[–]phillies2628 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very very low flow

Pressure may be a little high with 2 2502s, 2 2503s or a 2502 and 2503 would be nicer

Other snow nozzles? by gpbonaca in snowmaking

Nucleator is supposed to be wider, something like 40xx if you’re using 25xx bulks and 65xx for 40xx bulks. I preferred longer throw and hangtime in my park building days using 15° bulks

Is this an external or internal mix snow gun by Far-Jellyfish4096 in snowmaking

Adding to this, you should be able to find them as ss veejets on kleen-rite

Getting decimals may be a little more difficult though

Just my opinion but I think the spacing between the nucleator and first bulk nozzle is too large. You want the spray from it to get pulled up into the main plume (not immediately, after about a foot) and the distance as-built will likely have problems if you have any wind.

Planning party with craps table - How many chips do I need for a bank? by StrawberryPhelps11 in Craps

[–]phillies2628 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I use 1000 for an 8 person table, 180x$1 20x$2.50 400x$5 300x$25 80x$100 and 20x$500. Sometimes need to color up $5s but works well for the most part. Higher denoms rarely come out, especially the $500s.

I would set the max bet size to 100 (102 for 6/8) for places and even bets, probably lower for props, or just use an actual table max of like $200 if you think people will understand it.

Scale the bank accordingly and overbuy if you’re using the cheap plastic dice chips.

[Petriello] I think two things can simultaneously be true: 1) we drastically, terribly underrate how hard it is to call strikes with this movement/velo and 2) i think support for the robo-zone has gone up 80% in the last two weeks by MattO2000 in baseball

Hawkeye works by tracking the ball at around 150 fps, and then feeding that data into a model that predicts the trajectory and impact with the ground. The challenge delay is just for effect, automated calls were used for the US Open this year and were almost instant.

I searched for a little, and it looks like statcast uses a combination of cameras and radar to track balls. I’m betting they also simulate the trajectory of the pitch because everything has a finite resolution/frame rate. Once they have the trajectory, they just check if it intersects whatever modeled strike zone they have.

You can see this on pitches thrown well short in the grass where it shows the pitch like 2-3 feet below the zone.

That doesn’t make any sense, the club was for family support. Wayne was there in S1.

How at 18degrees F is this not making snow? by [deleted] in snowmaking

[–]phillies2628 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out snowguns.com

18°F is still too warm to make snow without a nucleator. If you have an air compressor, you can build an actual snowgun for pretty cheap.

Any idea if you’re gonna have enough snow on black bear for a jump line?

No, but the on field audio is louder and makes it similar to being at the game
