So I'm not a modeler or anything of the sort nor will I ever be. But I've asked a question to a few people I know off the forums who I consider to be quite with it when it comes to betting and I'm curious as to what you guys think.
I've heard many people say that lines sharpen up in sports as the season goes on and it takes awhile in a new season for their models to become fully functional. Whether this is true or not, I'm not sure as this isn't relevant in the main sport I bet and to be honest, I'm just winging it in other sports for the most part.
1. Is this in fact true?
2. And if this is true, do you still bet these sports while your models aren't even fully functional yet or do you wait until X point and then invest your money at that time?
The guys I know say they wait and focus on other sports until they're confident with the data they've collected as they see it as just pissing money away, whether they lose, break even or make a little in the long run. Their take is that this money could be better put to use elsewhere for a higher ROI instead of merely betting crap for the hell of it as the end result will be the same as far as the information they glean is concerned. Other people I've seen on forums obviously don't. Just curious.
