WAGERS

Investors again have two wagers this week, one under and one over.

The estimated overlays for the games where we’ve a wager are about 8 and 12 points.

PREVIOUS RESULTS

Honours for the lowest Mean Absolute Errors (MAEs) this week were as follows:

  • Game Margins: TAB

  • Home Team Scores: MoSSBODS

  • Away Team Scores: MoSHBODS

  • Game Totals: MoSSBODS

That left all four titles in the same hands as last week, and the leads as follows:

Game Margins: TAB 15 points ahead of MoSHBODS and 47 points ahead of MoSSBODS

Home Team Scores: TAB 9 points ahead of Sportsbet, and 67 points ahead of MoSHBODS

Away Team Scores: MoSHBODS 16 points ahead of MoSSBODS, and 35 points ahead of the TAB

Game Totals: Sportsbet 2 points ahead of the TAB, and 24 points ahead of MoSHBODS

MoSSBODS had two wagers last week, an under with the TAB, which lost, and an over with Sportsbet, which won. That took MoSSBODS to 15 and 16 for the season.

Across all games, MoSSBODS landed 4 from 7 against both bookmakers, and MoSHBODS landed 5 from 7 against the TAB, and 4 from 7 against Sportsbet.

That moved MoSSBODS to a 53 from 106 (50%) record against the TAB, and a 51 from 106 (48% ) record against Sportsbet. MoSHBODS now has a 57 from 106 (54%) record against the TAB, and a 56 from 106 (53%) record against Sportsbet.
