i think it's just because the average scores of the simulations give SAC 108 NOH 106, that's where he gets the SAC -2 line.

No, I know. I meant the stats that went into the calculation, as my end result is quite a bit different on this one game.

[clazzi]

this is awesome stuff. i joined the forums just so i could tell you and thank you. i only found this post last night so i haven't reaped the benefits but great record so far let's hope it continues!

thanks for all your hard work!

bustabook, how come you didnt simulate the ORL/LAC game? This is some good stuff you got here. Might be tailing a majority of the picks.

-------------------

I just got up and posted these as quickly as possible... i haven't gotten a chance to check current lines, but if the lines have moved too much i would avoid betting plays. the plays are based on THESE lines and a shift in 1-2 points could change percentages very much.. GL

Side plays:
Charlotte +3
Toronto -8
Milwaukee +12.5 *too close to 50%, omitted
NJ +7.5
Cleveland -7.5
Sacramento +7.5
Dallas -4.5
LA Clippers +7

Total plays:
Denver/Charlotte Under 204
Minnesota/Toronto Over 212
Milwaukee/Boston Under 191
New Jersey/Chicago Under 192.5
Cleveland/Memphis Over 193.5
Sacramento/New Orleans Over 212
Phoenix/Dallas Under 215
Orlando/LA Clippers Under 194 *line change

--------------------

Again, these lines are from last night when i began simulations. as of now, i have omitted certain games with big line changes that may have affected outcomes.

GL

[bustabook]

sorry everyone i just woke up.. i guess thats what you get when you play on the computer until 7AM, LOL.

thanks clazzi, i love to hear that other people are enjoying this as much as i am.

as for tonights games... i am a little worried, as a few of the lines i expected to move did not (or moved the other way). the ones i am worried about (only because of line movement) are Min/Tor OVER, Mil/Bos UNDER, Sacramento, Sac/NO OVER. All of the other lines either went in expected direction or did not move much.

[bustabook]

i am currently running simulations for orlando/LAC(+7) 191.5 so i should have a total play for that game by gametime.

[acarmelo1]

keep me posted men!!!!
by the way which PC game were you playing COD MW 2?

[bustabook]

in second set of Orlando/LA Clippers simulations, overs/unders were 50.9%/49.1%, respectively... no play.

[sportscash]

i like cleveland and dallas.good stuff

[Glitch]

i hope that bobcats shit is wrong.

.....aaaaaaand its not.

good calls.

[bustabook]

lol glitch.. sorry man.

in other news, minnesota hits a meaningless layup with 0.3 seconds left to lose the toronto play... BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. owell, probably shouldnt have been that close anyway.

[acarmelo1]

Impressive!!!

[bustabook]

Summary 12/8:

Side plays:
Charlotte +3
Toronto -8
NJ +7.5
Sacramento +7.5
Cleveland -7.5

--------------------
7-7, -0.7 units


Overall:
46-29. +14.1 units
--------------------

Disappointing night... system went 7-7 (50%, -0.7 units). Also took 2 wins away from myself when i scratched milwaukee and the orlando under.. pleh.


Here i am saying that it was a bad night but the model was 50%... That has to be a good thing, LOL.

[bustabook]

Thanks for the support sound.. i like to hear that people are actually interested in this, makes me keep on it.

I just found something on 1st/2nd half statistics on this forum, but i cant remember who posted it. When i downloaded it my eyes lit up and the gears started churning in my head.

I agree that tonight it wouldve been better to lay some on the 1st halves, but im not sure what the overall stats would be if i were using your idea since 12/3 (when this thread started). if i get a minute or two i will look back and see how it would work.. Thanks.

[bustabook]

here are the overall results for the past 6 days (every play over 50% in simulations):

12/3: 3-3 (50%)
12/4: 12-8 (60%)
12/5: 12-6 (67%)
12/6: 6-4 (60%)
12/7: 6-1 (86%)
12/8: 7-7 (50%)
-----------------------
Overall: 46-29 (61%)

[jcygts6]

very good so far... no need to expect perfect days all the time =]

[MV]

so tomorow im looking for a 4 team parlay to drop 100units on to win 1000units. Lets see what picks the machine rolls out.....

you better have a small bankroll.

-----------------

These are simulated using data from 12/7... i just like getting these out early so you guys have an idea of where the system is going to take advantage of some line moves. I am running simulations with the newest data now and that should be up around noon or whenever i wake up today... They shouldn't vary all that much from these numbers but we will see, there were alot of games yesterday.

GL

[bustabook]

just tried loading up the new data into my excel file and got a message saying that my 30-day free trial had expired... not sure what im going to do but i will try to figure something out and get the plays out ASAP. ::sigh::

[bustabook]

back on track thanks to my computer ninja skillzzzzz..

[2MuchMoney]

I noticed that Portland is favored by 2 points in the simulations. I'm guessing that those simulations were with Granger in the lineup. Since he's injured, I don't see how Indy will manage to put up enough points to beat Portland. I would be careful with the Indy pick especially because Portland has lost a couple games lately and they are hungry for a win. Best up luck to everybody and keep up the good work bustabook

[bustabook]

2much...

you can look at it two ways... oden is also out for portland, and much of the stat base is w/oden in the lineup (just like granger).

also you said that portland has lost a couple games, but doesn't that mean they aren't playing well right now?

FYI just being a contrarian, as i agree with much of your analysis. GL

[bustabook]

just found out that if i make a copy of the vb project, i can run 2 sets of simulations at the same time!!! on a related note, i think my little laptop computer is going to blow up, LOL.

[2MuchMoney]

Bustabook thanks for your comment. I would propose that Granger means more to Indy than Oden/any injured means to Portland. Portland has lost a few games and that would indicate they are not playing well, but the talent Portland will put on the floor tomorrow night will far outweigh their recent deficiencies. Thanks for doing what your doing Bustabook and I always enjoy intelligent discussion.

GL

[MV]

tailing on UTA@LAL, GS@NJ, POR@IND, all UNDER!

[bustabook]

i like all those plays, not just because of the simulations either...

[MV]

yep! but the sims make it more justifiable (at least to me, lol) to jump the fence!

[SpreadSniper]

I too am curious about the loss of Oden and Granger in the POR @ IND game.... is this accounted for?
