About Me

Equity Analysts and sports fans, always looking for a new market to beat. We are contrarian style bettors, focusing on isolating value when public perception has created dislocation in a market. We blend statistical models and spot systems with market analysis (looking for situations where sharp money comes against public money) to make our selections. We primarily focus on NFL, NBA, and Tennis. Soccer is a specialty as well, but at this point we are not confident in saying we have a LT ROI + edge on that front.

Recap 2/3 - 2/9: ATP Pune, Montpellier, Cordoba

Picks and commentary on the blog dropped off slightly this week - I was travelling most of the week on business and had a trip planned for the weekend so I decided to keep it on twitter and update here on Sunday to save some time (traffic flow is way heavier to that side anyways)

The week was rather lukewarm for the majority of the early rounds, but we did identity two value outright / future plays that outperformed their market pricing. Londero (+2000) made it to a QF and lost a tight match in a 3rd set breaker. Gerasimov (+1500) progressed all the way to the final and was a substantial favorite to win the match. Hopefully you all got some hedges down - my apologies for not posting any hedging guidelines - the match went off at 4:30 AM my local time. 


The draw played out exactly as we had hoped - Paire decides to throw a clunker as the 1st seed (classic) completely opening the draw. Gerasimov worked through some slow starts but his serve / attack skills played really well on this surface and he looked rather dominant in most of his victories. We yet again had a nice little run to close the week, and are feeling confident that we should be able to continue driving some positive returns here as we begin to accumulate some actually relevant form data for the clay court players and get a sense for how the trends we noticed during the hard court swings of late 2019 / early 2020 manifest themselves on a new surface. On to the next week, see the entire rolodex of our picks for this week below:
