April - June LC Thread: Good old country hardball

[wiper]

haha, true very true.

i've become a fairly involved coin-collector in my older age, alas i'm still only a teacher and thus do not always have the funds to buy everything i want. so getting a couple $25 boxes of pennies from my bank and sorting them when i'm bored gives me that feeling of adding to the copper hoard.

there's still a melt ban on them, but canada just recently decided to discontinue their penny, so once the zinc lobby is pacified, so will we and then i'll get a 250% return on my coppers...

it's just basically like putting together a puzzle or zoning out playing videogames.

yes, it's different. but it don't bother nobody and sometimes i'll give the (no vig) amazon card i get from the coinstar machine to my wife, so she's cool with it too.

seems brianl is a fan of round numbers, as he posted +8.1 when it's really +8.09.

i'm not gonna bother him as it probably won't make a difference, but for poogs and chronic i'm keeping track to the hundredths place.

What's the deal in Total Base's prop betting for MLB if a player doesn't play in the game. push or if the person who does play has a base would that be a win?

sigh..5dimes answers my question...Figures it's when I'm on the side of the guy who hits a jack and goes 3/5

no worries man, just do your thing. i'm tracking everything so you can do whatever you want.

[TomG]

do you also have a clause limiting wipers use of pills/alcohol? might want to add random wiper drug tests if he is the official scorekeeper or at least the option to no action the wager at any time depending upon wipers chemical state. we just need a separate set of unbiased judges to rule on it.

[CHRONICFEVER]

Loool ^^
that was pretty good

[wiper]

you guys don't want to drug-test me.

[That Foreign Guy]

You'd be the perfect person to test drugs on.

Or is that not what a drug test is in the land of the free? #trollolol.

newb question apologies in advance

suppose you devise a model and youve picked out the best stats and weighed them perfectly. you backtest over the past 5 years and you are a huge winner. i'd feel pretty damn good about myself going forward and betting using this model. but for what reason should i expect that this model will still hold true for future games?

[NajdorfDefense]

If you're a huge winner with perfect data then I'd still Kelly bet. I seem to remember even if betting a fixed horse race or boxing match you still.....Kelly bet.
