Do you guys keep track of you beating Closers?

[jjgold]

Some say, it’s the most important statistic on the planet

I glance at Circa and Bookmaker to see where I'm at vs them.

But not the most important stat on the planet to me.

Venditto tells me I’m wasting my time when I do this. His bankroll much larger than mine so it’s hard to argue with him about it.

I frequently beat closers and still lose.

I don’t bet with enough volume to focus on anything other than picking winners most of the time.

To Venditto's point as I am not a volume bettor.

Understanding why a line opens where it opens and moves to where it close is very important and creating forecasts accordingly is very helpful for long term winning. This I am good at.

But it's more important, at this point, for most bettors reading this to worry less about picking the winner of game and focus more on picking winning bets.

There is a difference there.

Also, something I've brought up in a couple of videos should be considered.

This this is the final slide of "Knowing Your Markets"...



So beating the closing line can be important, but it's not everything. I tracked an untold amount of plays and Funds at SBR and tracked the closing line comparison for each play.

So for the play I was betting I considered the closing line comparison as yet another metric to judge the health of the selections but, some subsets of plays required more time to determine a play, like the Contrarian Funds.

I did not track a closing line comparison for those Contrarian Funds as they really weren't designed to beat the closer even if they were profitable Funds and strategies.

For the most part, bettors here at BMR should try to get the best line available to them when they've made the decision to pull the trigger and be happy if the line moves towards their prediction or play.

Excellent Report KVB

A simple theme to follow is if you are aways a point worse than a book like bookmaker, Circa, or some others figure out why, and work to correct it.

If you overspend on anything in life, you are not doing as well as you could be.

Beating the no-vig closer is all that matters.

Most sportsbooks will limit you very fast for beating the no-vig closer, even over 10 bets (and has nothing to do with you being profitable or not).

On the other hand, most sportsbooks will not limit you if you won 10 bets in a row, but you didn't beat the no-vig closer.

Why do you think that is?

This guy is at a different level than most of us.
