Not a real impressive start. I'll go through the entire season stats right here http://www.teamrankings.com/nba/mode...r-pick-history. High percentage picks seems to work. Should I do the splits by 5% or 10%? From 55-59%, or 50-59%
C'mon now, we're stats guys, please don't tell me you're going to judge us on a sample size of 4 games. :-)
Look to the sidebar on the right and you'll see the 2009 performance...you can see that there's a pretty smooth trend of increasing performance as you go up in higher stars picks. Stars are just a simpler measure of pick confidence...we map the win odds ranges to star picks to make things simpler. (i.e., 50-55% win odds = 1 star)
Last thing -- just to be sure -- note that these are SU picks not ATS.
I admire this website. I've been monitoring their results and it appears to be very interesting. I didn't now they had an account in this forum, so I would like to ask a question.
If you filter the NBA picks by spreads 0-5, the result is much better than 6-10. Is there any particular reason for this? What's the win percentage for the entire 08/09 season for 0-5, 6-10 and 11-15 spreads?
