Thursday, May 31, 2012 at 9:23PM | Post a Comment It's almost 9:30pm on Thursday night and, though there are now Line and SuperMargin markets for the Giants' and for the Suns' games, there are no Head-to-Head markets for either. So, not for the first time this year - and probably not for the last - I've inferred them.
Wednesday, May 30, 2012 at 9:04PM | Post a Comment I'm beginning to wonder if I should mentally plan to write up the week's wagers on Thursday rather than Wednesday nights, so regularly reticent has the TAB bookmaker become in posting markets on games involving GWS. This week, as well as making us wait for Line, Head-to-Head and SuperMargin markets for Saturday's Cats v Giants game, he's also bet-shy about Sunday's Pies v Suns game.
I'll save the full details for tomorrow night but for now just mention that we've already committed to one head-to-head, three line, and four margin wagers, and that I expect to add another line and two margin wagers once the markets come up.
Tuesday, May 29, 2012 at 9:26PM | Post a Comment It seems obvious that some teams' MARS rankings remain elevated due mostly to the healthy carryover Ratings Points they dragged with them from 2011. Late last year I looked at a modified version of MARS that I called Naive MARS, which set every team's initial Rating to 1,000 unlike Traditional MARS which sets them to 530 + 47% of their final Rating in the season before.
