As bettors we sometimes tend to overcomplicate things, I believe. Theres virtue in maintaining it as straightforward as possible. With that said, I took a very simple strategy and tried to ascertain what could happen if we were to bet on every underdog of every tournament. I looked at close to 1200 matches and I didn’t bet on games were the odds were even or where there wasn’t a underdog with favorable odds. Out of 15 Women’s tournaments should you bet 10 dollars on every underdog you would be up 1288 after those tournaments. Out of 35 men’s tournaments you’d be up 3730. Because I wrote a lot of them on 18, I want to go back over the mens outcomes and some are chicken scratch. So some numbers are off but I tend to think at max its a -10% margin. In any event, the bit of research I did reasoned that approximately 8-10% would be yielded by gambling on all underdogs in every tournament. While most bettors arent satisfied with this kind of yield I personally would be satisfied with a guaranteed way to make money. This system certainly isn’t perfect and sick need to go over again and examine more tourneys then put all the men’s matches in a spreadsheet like I did to the women but I believe strict adherence to my view will yield positive effects in the long term. What are your guys thoughts? Anyone have any experience? Additionally, for what its worth tracked 4 months of Nfl from 2014 and you would also be convinced if you went with the all underdog strat. Certainly 4 weeks does not mean anything but I think its worth studying. Thanks for looking.
Edit: ok I calculated 30 more tourneys. I took the outcomes from 2012 and 2013 and picked at 15 tourneys. You’d wind up 1125 Should you bet on every underdog in these tourneys. If you bet 10 on every underdog in 2013 you’ll be up 995.3 throughout that interval.
