@MrBearBets Life and kids happen man. Want success for you, but long term trends are a thing.

@OTStats All good it will be back, a matter of time. Funny how you wanted to work together lmaoo

I just want to address this.. it seems people treat it like I’m hiding it. I had possibly the worst February and March and not even hiding it you can publicly track it I will never fake something to sell you something is not me but also people don’t see we track EVERY SINGLE PLAY here but many of my subs watered down so many lottos and cashed not to mention we probably were hooked by .5 for over $50k not even to count the one Fanduel stole from us because of one SOT that was $10k alone Not forcing anyone to follow just letting you know this upcoming weekend and week there is so much potential just know something I will ALWAYS be transparent and will never hide this 👊🏼 Just know I’m probably the few people if not the only person in the space that can show a $10,000+ across 3 different sports with only a couple units 😏 Time to bring all BEAR back.. show time baby 🍿

@Millar_Colin That’s literally the case for my parents. We got very close with our cousins that we’d see on both sides 😂

Lots of Barcelona match squads will include Toni Fernández and Guillermo Fernández this season. The two teenagers are cousins, born less than a month apart. The really weird thing is that not only are the players two fathers brothers, but their two mothers are sisters too.

@SmartPlaysDaily Clicked Tennessee by 1-10 instead of Florida for first time riding 😭

To celebrate today’s big win, I’m giving away $100 to 2 people who like the post below⬇️

@owenlhjphillips Much appreciated. Finding that there such complexity in player transactions that such tidy data is probs near impossible. & I was hoping nba packages had meta player info so I could pull dob but it’s been tricky to find. Finding I’ll def have to harmonize from a few diff places.

@OTStats actually for 2) just get it from their player page on nba dot com

Same plot concept but looking at the NBA. For some reason player transactions are so messy, so getting the start dates that players joined teams is so ugly. @owenlhjphillips Curious if you have suggestions for getting (clean) player 1) transaction data and 2) birthdays

Ancelotti has always had his favorite core to play most games, but it's wild seeing the amount of minutes the (healthy) core 8 have played so far. Anything else jump out? @tsf_podcast @sidlowe @PhilKitro @alexkirkland @2010MisterChip

A look at Real Madrid's age profile so far this season. Ancelotti forced to rely on 8 players who have stayed healthy... especially Valverde and Rüdiger who have beared the defensive weight given so many injuries. #RealMadrid #LaLiga #Rstats

What sticks out Madridistas? Aside from the fact that we need a (young) right back @managingmadrid @Odriozolite @KiyanSo @LucasNavarreteM @MHassanFootball

Had a lot of fun creating this. A lot of people have created similar, but the look and feel is motivated by @OptaAnalyst

@MrBearBets How'd you use a $50 bonus bet when that ticket says $125?

If we hit the $10.100 ticket I’m giving away $100 to 5 FOLLOWES who I see INTERACT the most 👀 LIKE + COMMENT + RT 🤑 VAMOSSSS 🔥

@owenlhjphillips Ah, I was only plotting the individual player's shots. So zones where the player didn't shoot as often didn't have enough volume to display in the "less than average" zones. Also assuming the "sqrt(z)" may refer to z-score as opposed to my using percent diff... wheels are turning

@owenlhjphillips Is there a reason you plot the above and below league average densities separately? Prob easier to set the colors, but curious if there’s another purpose (ie better for density levels or something)

new #rstats tutorial up on the F5 detailing how I made these charts

@owenlhjphillips @todd_schneider Had to shoot my shot... I’m hardwired to figure it out

@OTStats @todd_schneider if i told you the answer i wouldnt have a newsletter to write!

Tried to replicate this but just for LeBron, this is as far as I got in an hour or two and need to go to bed. Mainly had to get caught up with getting the data in, ended up using @todd_schneider's {ballr}. @owenlhjphillips Your contours are so clean, any geom tips?

@owenlhjphillips @vshufinskiy Thanks!

@OTStats @vshufinskiy's repo

On The F5 this week: Where each team's leading scorer likes/dislikes shooting from (relative to league average)

@owenlhjphillips If you want to really have fun, you should compare the delay in start times between general MLS games vs EPL/La Liga/etc… MLS is awful. I hypothesize MLS is +20min vs <3min elsewhere in the world.

i think most fans could handle if every game, regardless of the broadcast, started 10 min. behind schedule. but its the variability between broadcasts thats an issue

@SegundaSpanish @LaLiga2 Valencia dropping to La Segunda would be devastating 😩

🗺️ Would this be your realistic dream 22 Clubs for the 2025/26 @LaLiga2 season…? 🤔 If not, who would you have in instead?

@inpredict Plot the FT% as the y-axis and what shape do we get?

Based on play by play timestamps, which players are the fastest and the slowest to get their free throw attempt up? Giannis continues to be the slowest, by a good margin. Ant and Shai are the quickest.
