I'm both a nerd and I bet on Air Force last weekend so I looked this up.

You're on to something here. Not a whole lot of games that are 30+, so I took 27+ for the three service academies.

Since 2000, it's a 14-4 ATS record, including Air Force's cover as 30-point underdogs last weekend at Boise State. (It includes six Navy games, 11 Army games, and only the one Air Force game.)

I feel like these teams' styles might have something to do with this as well (running the ball a lot and eating up a lot of clock, making it harder for the opponent to put up a ton of points).

Full results below... Might be interesting to look even further back or expand it to 21 or more.

2011
Air Force +30 @ Boise St … L 37-26 (W)

2008
Army +27 @ Texas A&M … L 21-17 (W)

2006
Army +29 @ Notre Dame … L 41-9 (L)
Army +28 vs. Texas A&M … L 28-24 (W)

2005
Army +27.5 @ B. College … L 44-7 (L)

2003
Army +31 @ TCU … L 27-0 (W)
Army +31 @ L’Ville … L 34-10 (W)
Army +28 @ Cincy … L 33-29 (W)
Army +28.5 @ Air Force … L 31-3 (W)
Army +28 @ Hawaii … L 59-28 (L)

2002
Army +28 @ L’Ville … L 45-14 (L)
Army +29 vs. S. Miss … L 27-6 (W)
Navy +29 @ B. College … L 46-21 (W)
Navy +27.5 vs. Notre Dame … L 30-23 (W)
Navy +27 @ Wake Forest … L 30-27 (W)

2001

Navy +27 @ Notre Dame … L 34-16 (W)

2000
Navy +27 vs. TCU … L 24-0 (W)

Whereabouts was it that the percentages of games in NFL or NCAAF was listed, relating to landing on the key numbers of 3, 4 and 7?

It was posted around here somewhere but I just can't remember where.

Better worded:

How often does a NFL or NCAAF game (result) fall on the key numbers of 3, 4 and 7?

What is the record of pub favs (80%+ of action on them) ATS over the last X (say 2) years, in CBB NCAAF NFL NBA and/or NHL?

ScoresAndOdds.com has a pretty good printable format for lines.

Using a five year history plus current season to date results:

NFL

3 Point Result - 8.7%
4 Point Result - 3.5%
7 Point Result - 5.5%
All Other Results - 82.3%

NCAAF

3 Point Result - 5.5%
4 Point Result - 2.2%
7 Point Result - 4.6%
All Other Results - 87.7%

Not sure what you are looking to do with this, but it is worth noting that the data as presented is irrespective of whether a favorite or dog won the game. For example, 3 point straight up winner, could have been either the favorite or the dog. If you are somehow looking to apply these percents against ATS data you would need this broken down further as to result type; favorite or dog.

Hope this answers your question.

That's great. Thank you.

I'm more trying to show the importance of getting your key numbers.

That really shows how often a game will end with a margin of 3, 4 or 7 and demonstrates how important it can be to make sure you get these numbers.

[omgkyleflavin]

Patriots ATS in potential division clinching games under Belichick? Anyone? I would guess that they've fared pretty well.

I already have an AWFUL number at my book, anyways. 7.5 already BETUS?! That has to be the biggest number out there. I can't wait to switch books after Christmas.

In NFL 80% + public road favs are <45% ATS the last 7 or so years.

I'll try posting in this thread and see if I get any results before making a new thread. What is the best source for opening and closing lines?

I like http://www.sbrforum.com/betting-odds/. You can choose which book you want to be your "opening line" book, and it gives you several looks at the lines of other books as well (which you can order). It has m/l, total, and ATS numbers for all of the major sports.

Just using the eye test, it seems that for teasers NFL seems to be the best bet, rather than CFB especially/NBA/CBB. Does anyone have any figures on this? (Would love to hear the difference between 6/7/13 teased points)

[Beyond the Bets]

Don't bet teasers in any sport but the NFL.

I'm wondering where I can view/bet live 2Q NBA lines? Bet365 have some, but not all games.

Help?

BetOnline has them. You can bet by half, by quarter, etc. It's very user friendly. I think you'd be able to see lines without an account.
