NFL Week 12 Ratings

Week 12 (continued)
_______________________________

The total rated outlay for all bets that are above the price needed (being 7 first picks and 0 second picks) is: $1099.50

I have changed my own betting style for any team with a rated profit margin over 11.58%, to try and get a potential advantage 'in-play', so my actual total outlay (being 7 first picks and 0 seconds picks) is: $1188.10

The potential total outlay for first picks is: $2120.10

The potential total outlay for my second picks is: $2439.90

Nb: all ratings are rounded up to the 3rd decimal place, and all amounts are rounded to the nearest 10 cents.

couldn't find any value for either team, at this time.
________________________________

Broncos vs Chiefs (Chiefs 1st Pick)

Chiefs are: 81 @ 4.692 to pay ~380 (price needed at least 4.786)
Broncos are 299 @ 1.271 to pay ~380 (price needed at least 1.314)

I backed the Chiefs for 81 @ 5.23 to pay 423.63 (roughly an 11.48 rated profit margin).

________________________________

Titans vs Jaguars (Jaguars 1st Pick)

Jaguars are: 161.4 @ 2.355 to pay ~380 (price needed: 2.402 +)
Titans are: 218.6 @ 1.739 to pay ~380 (price needed: 1.797 +)

I backed the Jaguars for 250*** @ 2.68 to pay 670 (roughly a 13.83%  rated profit margin).
_________________________________
Important to note***:  it is recommended to back the Jaguars at the rated amount of 161.4, unless you are confident in my trial working well (75%  of the time or better). The changes for the trial are listed below(some of the changes may sound pretty obvious):

1. Change the total rated payout to roughly 4% , instead of the usual 2.5%
2. If a positive 'in-play' situation occurs,  lay^ the team at the shorter price, I will be using the plan listed in the example below::
lay^:\  you can either lay the team you backed or back the other team, this is important so you can get the best possible prices, as every extra cent counts
       3.     If a negative 'in-play' situation occurs, then don't do anything, till it changes or until the game is over.

                                                        example (steps listed below):

1. work out what the rated profit margin before any commission should be, which is ~14.56% margin (13.83% divide by 0.95)   
2. then multiply that by your bet that you made earlier, in this case it is $250 x 0.1456, which is $36.40
3. Make the $36.40 your 2nd pick teams profit, (the first pick should always have the bigger potential win).
4. $34.58 should now be your net of commission profit margin for the second pick, this amount after the 5% com turns out to be the 13.832%,  34.58 divided by 250,   is roughly equal to the 13.83%  rated margin

ps won't be posting which sites you can get the best prices on anymore, as the prices are always subject to fluctuate.

Week 12: Handicap Betting (This type of betting will use a 1.6% payout with a starting capital of $15000, so the bets will be to payout $240)

I am starting a handicap(point spread) ratings page from this week on-wards. Will only be doing about one game per week on average since it has 14 possible ratings to work-out and for each game.

Please note: the ratings are to the nearest cent.

Point Spread Benchmark

Please note: the Benchmark market is the only ratings that add up to exactly 100% due to the formulas used for buying and selling points, all other ratings can add up to any total around the 100% mark but not necessarily 100%.

Raiders: +9.5, rated 126.79 @ 1.89 ~240 (price needed: 1.956)
Bengals: -9.5, rated 113.21 @ 2.12 ~240 (price needed: 2.191)

both teams best price has a margin less than +3.33%, so not posting the current prices from here down.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Raiders: +9.0, rated 125.54 @ 1.91 ~240 (price needed: 1.976)
Bengals: -9.0, rated 114.34 @ 2.10 ~240 (price needed: 2.169)

Bengals: -8.0, rated 117.74 @ 2.04 ~240 (price needed: 2.107)
-------------------------------------------------------------
Summary of my bets:

Bengals -11 for: 100.18 @ 2.51),
Bengals -10.5 for: 103.86 @ 2.41, and
Bengals -10 for: 108.33 @ 2.29.

Total outlay, 100.18 + 103.86 + 108.33 = $312.37

For the post written on the 23 Nov 12 02:36 (Betfair time), a small clarification for point 3. in the example, may be needed.
 
In the example underneath the Titans vs Jaguars game, Instead of it stating "3. Make the $36.40 your 2nd pick teams profit, (the first pick should always have the bigger potential win)".
It should state "3. Make the $36.40 the profit for the TEAM THAT IS CURRENTLY LOSING, (THE TEAM THAT IS CURRENTLY WINNING SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE THE BIGGER POTENTIAL WIN)".

The above change will make this point correct for the times when the second pick is backed early ,for the same reasoning as stated in the example (Titans vs Jaguars game).
