Across the four bets, estimated overlays range from about 6.5 to 11 points.

PREVIOUS RESULTS

Round 10 was an even better one for the MoS twins and saw MoSSBODS record the lowest Mean Absolute Error (MAE) for Away Team Scores and Game Totals, and MoSHBODS do the same for Game Margins and Home Team Scores.

Overall, that means that MoSSBODS now has the best season-long performance on Home Team Scores and Away Team Scores, MoSHBODS on Game Margins, and the TAB and Sportsbet, jointly, on Game Totals.

MoSSBODS won one of two wagers with the TAB last week, leaving it with a 16 and 18 record with them, and a 4 and 5 record with Sportsbet.

Overall, MoSSBODS and MoSHBODS finished on the right side of the Totals for both bookmakers in 5 of the 9 games, leaving MoSSBODS at 48 from 90 (53%) against the TAB, and 52 from 90 (52%) against Sportsbet, and MoSHBODS at 46 from 90 (51%) against the TAB, and 47 from 90 (52%) against Sportsbet.
