I find betting on the ryman league is worthwhile.
anyone else try their luck on this market? |

Yes, the bookmaker overround is HUGE on these markets but it's mainly because of the long-shots (players being 66/1 when they should be 1000/1 for example). There's less of an issue at shorter odds where there's likely to be more value. Quote:
Predictability or not is a non-issue. I'm not trying to 'predict' anything, I'm just trying to assign probabilities to each player. So I can't foresee a SKP/AJ but I can say that they have X% of winning next year. Quote:
All my long-term staking is with money which would otherwise just be sitting in a savings account collecting 3%/yr. The other option is of course investing in the stock market or something where I'd expect 7%/yr or so (via indices) - if I feel I have a greater edge than that in these long-terms, adjusted for risk, it's still worthwhile. fwiw, I think for 'average punter', who may not have a large betting bankroll, antepost bets are terrible from a money-winning perspective - simply because, as you say, you tie up money. So your opportunity cost is not only from savings/investments but from potentially profitable bets they can now not make throughout the season (assuming that they find these!)

matches in general - there have been some ridiculous odds displayed from skybet in the past but believe they are tightening this up and may not even take bets on this this season.
if you can find a bookie - Lowestoft must be favs along with Lewes also believe Carshalton have a massive budget this season but they have some off the field probs. |

Crawley are going up again. Free money for anyone who takes a punt.

really? with Steve Evans in charge? A few bungs uncovered and a points deduction will see them drop! I fully expect them to do the business but its an awfully short price. Notts County are the only favourites in the last 11 seaosns to win the league. though 6 of the last 11 favourites have been promoted, all automatically

My buddy and I like making crazy bets on promotion and relegation based solely on the first letter of the team name. Last season, I had 3 "W" teams to go down and he had 3 "B" teams to go down. In the second half of the last weekend, I looked in good shape, but got done in by that Wolves goal and had to pay his bar tab cause 2 "B"s hit. This season I still have 3 "W" teams going down from the PL and have 3 "B" teams coming up from LC.

Ok so you're not trying to predict but you also said you would ignore 75% of the field. From that I would suggest you're ignoring any GS who is likely to be 100/1 true odds or greater - perhaps even 66/1. Wouldn't these have been AJ's odds?- even from you?

You make a good point even though they are not the same they are clearly linked. What I would say is that it doesn't take much money to alter those odds on there so don't read too much into it, especially as I've set some of the odds!

I imagine AJ's true price back then would have been about 150/1. I am pricing up basically any striker and some midfielders (at the big clubs) up to about 1000/1. My book adds up to 100% and adding players like Damien Duff etc makes negligible difference. |

You're laying at 1000.0? Blimey impressive bank! And that's not being cynical or not believing you are by the way, just impressed!
The 1000.0 layers must make a fortune, every event almost every runner is matched at 1000.0 and you only hear of one winning once or twice a year, well I do anyway |

Sorry I don't mean to be thick but you are pricing all strikers and high scoring midfielders and then looking for value against your book. Are the 75% you exclude a result of the poor value [i.e you have found 25% that are value which seems astonishingly high] or are they excluded before that? If the latter then you would have excluded AJ back in 2004-2005.

75% are excluded because their chances of winning are negligible so me pricing them or not is immaterial - if I know the price of Shaun Derry winning is 9999999999999999999999999/1 then I don't need to price him up properly and include him in the book. AJ would have been included (e.g. I've included Grant Holt, Scott Sinclair, Adel Taarabt this year). |

Ok - originally I thought you meant 75% of those that were priced up by bookmakers.

But it's not a big price for tieing your money down for so long (tying?)
