WTF is a Majestic-12 [Bot]?

[Pigeon]

The m-12 bot is some spider like google and all the other indexer. I haven't really checked it out.

Schaub has been known to make some really dumb passes. He would have to be in it on his own. But how hard is it to learn from that mistake. Is 3 enough? As far as QBs and a plan - "The best laid plans of mice and men".

Looks like it is web page stats.

A good article on Gambling and the NFL:

NFL’s Shadow Economy of Gambling and Fantasy Football is a Multibillion Dollar Business
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2 ... iness.html


When it comes to gambling, football is by far the most popular sport to bet on.

“It’s one of those vice industries like liquor and tobacco. So as a result, lots of humans like doing it,” said Greg Finn, managing director at WagerMinds, a sports betting and handicapping website.

According to the Nevada Gaming Commission, in 2011 $3.2 billion was wagered in sports bets in the state’s casinos. Of that amount, $1.34 billion or 41 percent was handled just for football. Outside of Nevada the numbers are much bigger. The National Gambling Impact Study Commission estimates that $380 billion is wagered a year on football through offshore accounts and illegal betting.

Gambling is a shadow industry that operates independently of the NFL but relies on football games to bankroll casinos and its gamblers. In turn, the NFL benefits from the intense fan interest that gambling helps to generate. Many fans have far more riding on this weekend’s game than regional pride.

“The NFL knows a meaningful part of their fan base is interested because they can bet on the games. And if they can’t they would be far less interested in getting tickets, going to games and buying merchandise,” says Finn.

But the same link that connects betting and the NFL also makes the gambling industry vulnerable to labor stoppages—of officials and players. Gamblers like to play odds feeling that they are somewhat in control of the outcome and when games become less predictable due to poor officiating, similar to what we saw in the first few weeks of the NFL season, it could reduce people’s interest in betting on the sport.

I saw a special on one of the successful football bet makers. It was a big dollar business he had going and did quite well. Lots of research, etc to use for the basis of his picks.
