anybody use massey ratings? How accurate would you say it is?

[Peregrine Stoop]

I don't think you can devise a simple betting strategy off of massey if that is what you are asking

One of many tools, but almost useless alone.

Can't beat opening lines just like 99% of the math models out there.

Can't beat closing lines just like 100% of the math models out there.

I'll lay you 25-1 you can't show me a model that will have lower RMS error than market consensus close in NCAAFB or NFL next season.

OK, Justin7 will hold the money...

[Wrecktangle]

...got my $10,000 right here. I'll do NCAA FB, only games where the top 120 ("A" teams) play each other.

[Wrecktangle]

...Got your $ 1/4 Million ready?

[RickySteve]

$5000, escrow with someone you don't work for.

P.S. I hope your code is as efficient as your posting.

25-1! wow that's confidence

[Wrecktangle]

So, I can only put up $200? How about at least a nice round $1000? Don't you want to make a little money since this is a slam dunk?

re: escrow. Who would you have in mind? For a piddling $200, it probably makes no difference to me, but I rather not give it to one of your friends who'll drink or snort it away. Since I "work" for Justin, how about one of the other mods here at SBR?
