Title: Re: This Weekend At The Beach
Post by: Zoomie on March 27, 2009, 07:29:18 AM: OK, directions.

Take either 3/301 or 95/495 south into PG. If you take 495, take 5 South (Branch Avenue). About two miles after the 301/5 merge, there will be a Wawa on the right. Get in the left lane and three lanes will turn left to stay on 5 to Leonardtown. About 4 miles on, you turn left again to stay on 5 to Leonardtown. Go through several towns, stay on 5, ignore the Wawa stores on the left. When you come to a Wawa on the right at an intersection out in the middle of nowhere, turn right to stay on Route 5 to Leonardtown. Go about 5 miles and turn right on Route 242, Colton's Point Road. Signs will say "St Clement's Island". Stay straight on that road until it almost ends at the Potomac. Make a left on Bayview. Go over one speed bump and take the first right driveway past the "No Outlet sign. There will be an old black Mercury next to a small red barn at the bottom of the drive.

Come in, identify yourself and have a drink.

Call me if you get lost (443) 790-3162

And no asshattery with the phone you tools.

OK maybe a little...

They cost A LOT! At least, they did four years ago when I was running wild and could have actually made the trip. The price of the tickets ended that pipe dream pretty quickly.

$3351 poorer and I havent even sorted US and European domestic flights yet. If I can get all the travel done for $4k, I'll be happy.

Post by: tricky on March 27, 2009, 12:23:12 PM: And where is everyone staying? In a hotel or someone's house or a hostel or something else?

Besides the plane tix, how much money do you think I would need per day for food and transportation and lodging or whatever (not including shopping money which I will undoubtedly need)? I probably wouldn't stay for an entire week due to limited vacation days...

I am seriously considering this in any event. I'll have to figure out how to tell my parents I'm going to Japan with some guys I met on the internet (that sounds really bad...). Even if they live several states away from me, I still feel I should tell them if I'm going on a trip of some sort.

You only want to tell you parents so they'll have a clue where to start looking if you should happen to disappear. It's like when you girls go home with some dude from the bar and text your best friend letting them know what's going on... Just in case.

Don't worry about where you'll be staying. Nick has a very comfortable duffle bag that you'll love. It has small holes poked in one end for ventilation and a soda can sized hole cut out on the other end.

Yeah, I looked around a bit and could get it down to about US$2500 or so, which is a lot more reasonable, but still pretty fucking expensive. Especially considering that any travelling I do, I won't be doing alone.

I'll have to figure out how to tell my parents I'm going to Japan with some guys I met on the internet (that sounds really bad...).
We stopped at a liquor store just across the border in VT to pick up some beer before a concert we were going to. I was with three girls: one from NY, one from NJ, one from CN, and I had a VT license. The clerk lady was being a total bitch mostly because we were all surprised she wanted to see ID (In Canada, you don't get carded unless you look 11 or unless you're going to a club and who goes to clubs?...) Anyway she was really suspicious and asked why we were all from different states. I told her that we'd all met on the internet and I was taking them to my shack. She told me she hoped I'd have a good time. I assured her I intended to. Anyway I think 80% of it was timing and delivery. I guess what I'm trying to say is: this one time I made a joke and it was funny.

That's fucking nuts! What if you booked a flight to the US first, then to Japan?

Yeah, I looked around a bit and could get it down to about US$2500 or so, which is a lot more reasonable, but still pretty fucking expensive. Especially considering that any travelling I do, I won't be doing alone.

See if you can get a surrogate, they did it on Arrested Development. You could hire some Japanese guy to go out with Nick for a night on the town but you wire him up with an ear piece walkie talkie and those james bond camera glasses. Then you can see what's going on and you can tell the guy what to say and do. It'll be just like being there but you won't actually be there!

Post by: (_)_)===D on April 05, 2009, 11:46:57 AM: But I mean, what do you do? You're not a handicapper, are you? Do you adjust the line? Why would it be so crucial that you take the bets unless either you adjust the line or it's a one man show.
Title: Re: This Weekend At The Beach
Post by: FAH-Q on April 05, 2009, 03:39:13 PM: Oh, sorry, I dunno what happened to the rest of my post there...

No, I'm not a handicapper. There aren't many books that keep their own dedicated handicapper on staff anymore, not since the advent of the internet and availability of so much more information. That said, anyone worth their salt in this industry will do a little bit of handicapping when needed, and a general understanding of probabilities and statistics is necessary. Not so much for making up lines but for figuring out what a given team's odds to win something should be, for example. It's always good to have an idea if the odds you're giving out are at least roughly what they ought to be, instead of just blindly following the rest of the industry.

As for what I do - I sit in front of six computer screens, each with various functions. One is my workstation, from which I move lines, take bets, set up new games, grade existing games, etc. Another is an identical workstation for my co-worker, who does much the same as I do.

More on that:

All told there are three of us main managers and another five sub-managers. Between us we cover 6am - 1am, 7 days a week. Two of the sub-managers' main job is to stay late and grade the remaining games in the schedule. The main managers pretty much never work past the start of the last game of the night. For really important/busy times, like college football or basketball Saturdays, with their huge slate of games, or NFL Sundays, two main managers work together to keep up with everything that's going on. At less busy times, it's usually a main manager with a sub-manager, because it's a waste to have two strong people working with not much to do.

So yeah, a co-worker and I sit at a long desk, each with a workstation, with another four computers between us. Those computers are for running the various line-tracking programs that let us compare our lines against everyone else's, and keep us up to date on line trends, injuries, suspensions, and so forth. We also have a program that shows us all the bets coming in from the floor (clerks taking calls) and the internet, and a program showing us line moves within our office (there are triggers that can be attached to people's accounts to automatically move the line, depending on what sports they're good at).

So yeah, that's what I do. I watch the bets come in, move the line accordingly, or move it back if necessary. I try to balance the book as much as possible, unless we have info one way or the other, in which case we try to attract more action on the side less likely to win, according to our information. When not doing these things I set up upcoming games, grade (put the scores in) games that are over, put up lines on halftimes, etc. When not doing that stuff, I'm posting here.

I've heard two different things about lines... The first is that the object of the line is to get the bets spread 50/50 between teams so the books can avoid big losses and make their money on the juice.

The other thing I've heard is that the above is bullshit, the REAL objective of the line is to get as many people on the wrong side as possible.

Is there anything you can confirm or deny?

Post by: FAH-Q on April 05, 2009, 04:31:47 PM: They're both true. Just not at the same time, obviously.

On a random, not very strongly bet game (your average hockey or baseball game, for example), or on a hugely bet game like the Super Bowl or NCAA Championship game or whatever, you see more of that "balance the books, play it straight, just pick up the juice" philosophy, because there's going to be so much money bet on it that making either side particularly attractive to anyone is a recipe for either an enormous payday or an enormous loss. At this point you're just rolling the dice, which you always do to an extent, but it's not healthy in the long run. The truth of it is that almost always you'll have a side you need, because there's always a team that people generally like more in any given game. So on big games like that, or the aforementioned little games nobody really cares about, you play it straight, take your 10% advantage, and win in the long run.

On games that are bet more but not huge, games with injuries, games with more extreme weather - that's where you get info and take stands. Bear in mind that the entire industry's lines are created and manipulated by a relatively small set of people, so often games are set up for "the right people" to get good numbers, while the public remains clueless. The trick is to figure out who's in the know, who's statistically very good at certain things, or who just seems to be good at handicapping their own stuff, and use their information against everyone else. So you limit those guys to smaller bets, move the line towards what they bet, and win with them. That's the intuitive part of the job. You're working with information, trying to interpret it as best you can, and making educated guesses about the games. When it becomes tricky is when you have two people who are both very good bet against each other!
