Betting strategies #12

We should look into ways of optimizing our performance for a given output. For example, looking at only making strategic bets, thinking of other betting strategies, sometimes betting W/L instead of just spread, and possibly even hedging bets (if for some reason we have a reason to do this)

@edwardgarza I think you made some progress here but can you explain what we actually do?

We should also keep track of line movements: "An example of a system using line movements would be “Bet against a team that is receiving 80% of bets and the line is moving away from them within 4 hours of kickoff”. In this example lets say Green Bay was favored by -7.5 and receiving 80%+ of the bets. If the line moves to -7 2 hours before kickoff it would trigger a bet under this system."
