There will be overlap in picks between the bovada and main strikeouts so it's just sorta to see how well the bovada picks do eventually since their odds are so much better.

Not sure if Kelly betting is working out for me because I'm getting absolutely crushed on my bigger bets.

Can we shatter the units risked in a 2+2 thread record? Should I go back to straight 1u risk/to win?

I remain unconvinced that I have a winning model here. NajdorfDefense, if you see this post are you able to tell me if my picks have generally been in line with yours or not so far?

I think maybe the bovada thing is stupid, but I'm gonna keep the kelly betting for now. If nothing else I think I would like that title of most units bet.

I had the wrong projection for Davies, should've been o3.5 -202 3.22u but I already bet so...let it ride

I posted the davies revised projection before he threw a pitch so I'll be using that in my record because I want the most accuracy in my record based on my projections, but since it lost if there are any objections please let me know. FYI if the bet had won I would've done the same thing. Sorry for the mixups.

*Like I said before, for the accuracy of my projections I am counting the Davies loss based on what I posted the bet should have been (-3.22 not -9.05). I would have done this win or lose. If anyone thinks this isn't the right way to record keep please let me know.

curious about your unit sizing, not used to seeing so many units on a single prop but then again i think i'm used to people sharing who reach max bet size once they clear a single unit so could be biased by that

would love to read how you determine that

Sorry I had a feeling the Kelly betting would become a thing. Few people here use Kelly because yeah you're right they're just maxing and relaxing, especially low limit props.

I wanted to be conservative because I didn't know what I had with this model so I just am using an imaginary bankroll of $10,000 and basically one unit = $100. Technically, I should be maxing and relaxing some (most?) of these. But at $100 a unit all of my bets are accurate, i.e. I'm betting exactly that much. I am still going back and forth about the use of Kelly. It would've been easier had I just done one unit to win/lose obviously.
