Buying Points and Related Issues/Sports Betting Theory Question

[ThomasJoe]

Similar to Holdem this is a situation of incomplete info. Maybe one could start keeping stats and come up with an estimated value. Seems to me that would entail having access to a lot of data and the ability to write the software as well as the expertise in statistics to come up with the most accurate way to determine the EV. Also seems to be more than a one person task. And I think it is very possible that this is impossible!

Seems to me that sportstraders has simply made a more sophisticated sports book that is still just taking juice from it's customers and reducing it's own risk of losing. It does however give bettors another place to shop. Sorry i missed your point and maybe I still do, but i still think the goal of winning at sportsbetting is as impossible as it is to win at craps. And therefore I do not think there is +EV unless you are the one getting the juice/commission/fee or whatever you want to call it. Sports betting is simply a game with -EV and there is not much we can do about it.
