    Tracking New System

    Hey everyone, I'm going to use this thread to track a new CFB and NFL system. This system has shown some promise, but it is still fairly new. So, keep that in mind if you do decide to tail any of these picks. This might also turn into great fade material, who knows!

    Without any more waiting let's get to the picks!!!

    Thursday 9/29
    USF -2 @ PITT 1U
    HOU @ UTEP +16.5 4U

    BOL in whatever you play!!!

    USF really probably should have been a no play, but I'm still working out my filters, so I'm going to play it anyway. Until I decide on my final filters there will probably be a large amount of plays. So for now 1 unit plays can be considered spare change plays for all the action junkies out there. Set your units accordingly. Plays will range from 1-5 units, as of now I have no plans to go above 5 units per play, chasing is bad m'kay.

    Plays went 1-1 last night. Luckily the big one was an easy winner. For this thread I will track both the actual record and the effective winning percentage (Units Won/Units Won + Units Lost). This measurement allows us to factor in juice and varying bet sizes, 50% is the break even point using this metric, anything above is positive, while anything below is negative.

    Only one game tonight, lucky for us the system likes it a lot. This will be our first 5 unit play of the thread.

    Utah St @ BYU -7 5U

    I went ahead and bought the hook on this just to be safe and since it only cost me -120. The system actually has them winning by 2 scores. As always, BOL in whatever you play!!!



    Actual Record: 1-1 +2.75U
    Effective Win Percentage: 76.19%

    What is the system centered around, if you don't mind me asking? Don't need everything obviously but just the nuts and bolts.

    The system is based on team rankings, and using those rankings to determine a point spread. How much these numbers differ from the vegas lines determines whether it is a play and how large.

    So there aren't any filters for strength of opponents already faced?

    Strength of opponents is factored into the rankings, as well as margin of victory (capped so blow outs don't skew the numbers too wildly).

    Well, BYU didn't show up til they put their backup in the game. The game finish was great, so at least there was that. On to tomorrow and hope for a better day.

    Saturday wasn't as good as I had hoped. Almost a 50-50 split in wins/losses, losing almost 5.5 units. The way plays are rated clearly needs to be redfined, and some filters need to be added. If all games were flat bet the system would only be down 1.2 units for Saturday. One interesting thing is the system went 3 of 4 on it's upset picks, so this may be something to keep an eye on in the coming weeks. Hopefully, next week is better, the system should become more accurate as the season goes along.

    Actual Record: 24-23-1 -2.65U
    Effective Winning Percentage: 47.51%

    I knew there was something wrong with my overall numbers in the last post... that's what I get for messing with it when I can't sleep. I managed to screw up twice, counted Thursday twice and my spreadsheet had the wrong numbers for effective win percent. Correct numbers are below. And, my spreadsheet is fixed so this shouldn't happen again. *fingers crossed*

    Actual Record: 23-22-1 -6.2U
    Effective Winning Percentage: 47.62%
