TheShaneCo. Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I dont know where else to turn for this... But does any one know how to bet on horses/dogs? Like how to handicap them? (not cripple them, but add up the stats and make smart bets) thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinTimberlake Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I dont know where else to turn for this... This made me laugh ... But seriously, read up on Game Theory. Helps you out with everything ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShaneCo. Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 I checked that and basically imagine some one getting squirted in the eye with lemon juice and thats the face i made. Thanks, but im not smart enough to come up with my own formula, i need a pre made one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShaneCo. Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 Also after reading more, i think this has to deal more with games that have human players and strategies... Not animals racing eachother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinTimberlake Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Game theory tries to explain what the best possible strategy is for a situation. In your situation, it would be which fucking horse is the best bet (smart bets). I mean, I've read a couple of books on game theory and it's pretty fucking difficult to grasp, but in your situation I would probably look at horses that have mid-payoffs but at the same time true hustlers will be doing the same thing but then again they'll be thinking off about all the wack wannabes who'll be doin' the same shit, weakening their payoffs. It's all intuition, game theory kinda just heightens everything so you understand it. Or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinTimberlake Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Actually, I'm pretty drunk and bored. Let's say your throwing bread into a pond and ducks are gobbling that shit up. Lets say your throwing shit in there every 5 seconds. What if someone started throwing bread into the pond every 3 seconds. And then someone else started throwing bread every 4 seconds. What'll happen is different crowds of ducks will emerge depending on population, aggressiveness, etc. So if your a duck, the best bet is not just which motherfucker is throwing bread the fastest, but who's surrounding you, etc. If you're a smart duck, you'll find the crowd that's doing the best and eat that shit up until it's time to move on. The way to make money (bread) is to understand when a situation is unbalanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinTimberlake Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 This is the best strategy. If you're betting money, just find who is winning and follow them. You probably won't be making crazy cash but it's better then nothing. It's not really 'tit for tat' but whatever ... I'm out. Too drunk for this.
