Re(1): Trend In Tri Prices This Season At Dania Posted on January 1, 2024 at 05:14:33 PM by StraymarJA
First, high prices and significantly higher are handle killers and I’m seeing a handle drop-off. The high prices are most likely the result of inconsistent play by a higher percentage of players compared to last year. Now why the inconsistent play, could be any number of reasons; personal, physical, mental.
While regular bettors who wager pretty much daily like consistency, the “weekend warriors” might get a kick out of the inconsistent play and high prices and have the false hope they really know how to handicap because they happen to have gotten lucky? I do know the regular bettors are the ones “keeping the lights on.”
I’m not going to comment on any more reasons why I think prices might be higher this December versus last December. I have several theories and they best remain unpublished.
I did find out just this morning after doing a deep-dive on doubles stats, a very odd stat for one player and only one. That stat jumps off the page at me and appears bothersome at best and I’m doing more investigation into payoffs and doubles partners for that player to try and understand the reason. It will be quite interesting to watch that player in the coming weeks to see if that highly unusual stat continues. This particular player also played in the 2022-23 meet and the stat was as expected for that meet.
One more thing relating to singles vs doubles:
When people see and use the summary stats in the program, because that’s the easy thing to do, they become oblivious to how good a player is in singles versus doubles. It’s not too often a player has the same abilities in both singles and doubles games. When bettors have to piece together the singles games records by adding together the stats from the different game pages of the program, the fronton does them a dis-service when they jump around and switch which games are doubles and singles during a meet as it muddies the waters and you get a hodge-podge of mixed data for a game. Of course the regular bettors who maintain their own databases love that confusion.
Gonna be a busy 2024 and won't be checking in much and probably no more responses on this thread, happy new year everyone and be sure to do your part to help keep the Jai-Alive! You gotta bet to keep it going! Mo Crank has some great data (like nobody has ever seen) for Dania on his Jai-Alai website and if you gotta ask what website, well you better ask someone as everyone should know by now.
