Thanks for your ideas, and feel free to have the last word on it.
Shawn,
If you are offended by my post (I am not sure why), I do apologize. It's not my goal to "have last word on it", why? I just like discussing this issue, because I personally like "to advance" props and am a bit frustrated by their absence.
If the reason you don't post "to advance" props is that the action does not justify the amount of work required to make them up and maintain after that, it makes sense.
On the other hand, I have a very hard time understanding why "to advance" props are not popular. It's like first half bets are way more popular than full time bets. Possible, but strange.
From my personal experience, "to advance" props were extremely popular. We could call the World Cup a success when Spain didn't advance to the last 16 in France. In the USA everything was decided when Columbia failed.
Maybe these props are not popular, because almost nobody posts them. Don't you find it ridiculous how everybody has the odds on "to win a group", something that means very little, but not the odds on to advance/ not to advance?
Remember, just several years ago nobody but the Czechs offered all ATP and WTA tournaments, or some obscure European and South American soccer leagues and now more and more books do that.  |
