At a weed store you can say, "I want something to help me sleep that won't make me wonder if my back door is unlocked," and they will take you seriously, think hard about it, and then say something like, "Have you tried Ooga Booga Skywalker Cake?
Bettors that books salivate over
- "He sees the pitch mix well" => yeah he's hit some homers off a fastball, the most common pitch in the league. If us scrubs can see pitch mix splits, so can the pitcher and pitching coach
- "Great BVP, he's hit a homer off the SP" => 4 years ago...in a different stadium...in a different month
- "His odds shouldn't be this low" => It's blowing 30 mph winds out to LF dude
- "Must run, he's a day late" => If everyone you notice on a timeline that doesn't go is a day late, then the whole slate looks like a day late. Recency bias. Different pitcher, different weather, different everything
- "Batting 4th, prime pitcher weakspot" => year to year, spots only repeated 16% compared to a random 11% chance. 36% of pitchers had their worst spot inverted the next. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd worst batting order spot regressed at identical rates the next year. noise 🎷
- "Same first name? Parlay em, RR em, boost em" => Today? but not all the other days they play together and don't hit?
- "Gotta run the birthday boys" => Except 60% of players have a worse OPS than normal on their special day
- "He hits better during the day" => 50% of players from year to year switch between being a day or night hitter by OPS
- "+333 MGM odds, must play" => -85u, -26% ROI since 2024
The Celtics have decided to pursue Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Giannis wants to end up in Boston 😳, per @BillSimmons
“I thought Boston was out of this. I know Boston was out of this. I was wondering if they were playing possum or not. I think they were playing a little possum. I think they are in on Giannis. I’m not recanting what I said before. I don’t know the reasons for it. Maybe they felt like Miami’s offer is an offer they could beat. Maybe they want to drive the price of Miami’s offer up and don’t really have interest in him. Giannis is pushing for Miami or Boston. Those are the two locations and really wants to end up in Boston because he would have the best chance to win a title. Boston is not ruling out the idea is my intel. In general, I’m prepared for anything with Boston now.”
