i gambled for the first time ever on basketball yesterday n got lucky

played $50 of house money that was credited to me because i deposited $10 and played it (still waiting to see what those $10 do/ won 1 out of the 2 for that one check next pic)

serious question though does anybody here watch basketball religiously and also place bets? Iโ€™d like to ask some questions lol (I donโ€™t watch sports like that)

i wanna make like a little group chat or something of people placing sports bets

nostr:npub1mu9wmykl7qx5llk69axd3rvk0hzhdd25jsqtj2hmnzjpn2sxum6s8jjj0t you know anyone?

I dabble.

stay tuned letโ€™s create a lil community of us

Yo you still on TG

Yesssirr

shit i dont know if my TG is working

Way less than that but i gamble as most as folks think i do

I don't place bets (I'm tempted to though)

I do watch quite a lot of basketball, but not enough to tell you what (for example) Ant's BPM are over the past 5 games

the only reason I think I got those was bc they gave me historical data over his last 5 games that allowed me to make an educated decision, still a gamble but a more educated one based on historical data.. I wonder if thereโ€™s sites with a ton of this data..

Exactly. With sports imo its always a gamble moreso than equities, t-bills, etc.

Great that they provided the information though!

this is how it shows up! Iโ€™d much rather have a view at the previous 10-20 games but Iโ€™m guessing Iโ€™d have to find a different site for that info

๐Ÿ‘€

Yes

ESPN/NBA doesn't really do a good job on their sites for this data (maybe for this exact reason)

There should be free sites to get more granular details over longer time periods, just gotta find them

actually fuck it I have an idea Iโ€™m gonna build an aggregator 1 page site to API into all the free sites so we can have more maneuverability over the data

Yoooooooooo that'd be crazy dope!

(for anyone reading this thinking I dev, I donโ€™t, I will ask Ai to build this)

Same I can barely make my website with basic HTML CSS & JS ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

only reason I understand HTML is bc of tumblr and MySpace themes ๐Ÿ˜‚

Ahh the good 'ol days

Going to your profile and having your music playing while some matrix looking background falls behind on the screen ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿซ‚

We should bring this back as a Nostr client; this would be fun lol

Iโ€™ve been asking for this sort of client since I got here but seems thereโ€™s no devs here with nostalgic driven development plans ๐Ÿฅฒ giving the user full customization over everything would be the killer app.

We must build then!

Very tempted to because I've (fantasy) won a good amount of money knowing how players were going to play, or against what team (example: player is playing with sore knee, so you bet for his defender to have a good defensive night)

Iโ€™m quite interested in this right now seeing if having a large group of people who study the players and teams & their gameplays all working together can have an edge when it comes to betting

Absolutely they can. These groups exist! Wall street bets for sports ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

Do it on here that'd be cool

should it be an npub that people interact with or a group chat community thing

Bro a damn sports betting recommended bot would be WILDDDD

Group chat on chachi or something would be easier probs

๐Ÿ‘€ that would be fire id prob link up with my boy nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8 the king of bots to come up with it

The webmaster knows the way

I'm game for this

the bot literally just has to provide the play with the best odds based on 10-20 prev game history data, and give a confidence score to each play ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

You want to place a real bet? I will bet you, right now,.. on Nostr.

No way to delete this, no way to edit.

It is what is.

I will bet you a whole Coin, yes a whole BTC.

If I'm right then I win, if you're right, then you win

I will bet that the price of BTC is higher in 6 months, than it is today.๐Ÿ˜

did you just make me bearish ๐Ÿคฃ

I almost considered it for half a sec

I was trying for a good storyline to draw you in. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคท

I donโ€™t know anything but I know enough to not short bitcoin eveeeerrrrr ๐Ÿคฃ

Exactly ๐Ÿ’ฏ and especially not now. ๐Ÿคฃ

Tempting tbh

Please do

Betplay dot io not financial advice but you bet using lightning, no KYC beside a email, amazing features and gives you live stream of the games, I'm in on a betting chat

Degen.

Every year I build a model for the march madness tournaments and I always place some bets before the tournament starts. It's a total blast even if I lose all my money!

I knew a guy that got rich with sport bets. He was that much of not a sports fan, but rather a statistics geek. He used to evaluate decades of sport results and also liked to be at the live event so he could have access to the any event as soon as it happened. That would give him an edge over people watching the game on TV that would see the events several seconds delayed.

Iโ€™ve been studying algorithmic game theory over the last couple months and now recently got into expected value deep dives, I wouldโ€™ve never started without having some sort of grounded framework for making these predictions.

Iโ€™ve never liked gambling because I never had an edge, the edge comes from the mental frameworks.

I did realize one thing though.. I should stick to one sport the one I can read best, which in my case is basketball. Never placing any bets on any other sports no matter how interesting or appealing they might be, I simply donโ€™t have the time to research them all..

I am not qualified to give any advice regarding sport bets, just be aware that you are probably betting against professionals who probably have more and faster access to information than any amateur out there.

information frequency matters not, bets become available and are cut off for everyone at the same time, reason why Iโ€™d gamble here instead of in the stock market where information frequency matters a lot, no matter if you are at the live sports game and thereโ€™s a 5 minute delay between that and the stream i watch, all sports bets have a cut off time before theyโ€™re being played live.
