    My numbers... might be closer than Vegas numbers...

    I need reasonable feedback... all my picks are posted. But if you assume that 3 points or so declares you better than Vegas... Here are my first 7 picks. You may not agree with me... but I am a math guy.

    Game 1 If New Mexico St. doesn't score at TD... my numbers are dead on. Even though they scored 51 and I bet the under... I give Vegas the nod. They were closer than my 45. 0-1. Vegas lead.

    Game 2 Spread wise... I crushed Vegas and the O/U was 58 vs. 60 to close to call 1-1. They hit over.

    Game 3 Spread wise... I crushed Vegas and the O/U was 46 vs. 44.5 to close to call 2-1. They hit over.

    Game 4 Spread wise... both dead on... very close game... I give my system a win on the over since it was beyond 3 points to Vegas. 3-1.

    Game 5 Push both ways based on predictions and spreads.

    Game 6: I give myself two wins here because my over projection was over 3 points and my spread completely dominated Vegas. 5-1

    Game 7 Over/Under a wash... produced the same number... Spread was dominated by my prediction. 6-1 so far this weekend.

    Solid week to start... I'm producing numbers ahead of time... and posting them... so no one can argue with the logic.... Good Luck today

    You are a living legend.

    Even though you are hitting at 38%.

    My god, they are going to build statues of you.

    The odd part to me is---- you posted your picks earlier in the week, and did not include any games before FAU.

    Yesterday, suddenly you "picked" all these winners-- 2 fukking days AFTER they were played.

    Solid 14-13 week there, Dave.

    Almost-- ALMOST--- hit the 52.4% you need to be profitable.

    Someday. Maybe try and post your entire card AFTER all the games are played? Just a thought.

    A Quant... the only thing I am doing is tweaking the filters... I am not changing any projected number. Not one. I am merely trying to understand how to view my projections in a better way.

    Hate all you want. I find it funny.

    My numbers are coming in closer than Vegas. Once, I understand how to interpret the data. Off to the races...

    But Dave, you don't even SEE your own numbers.

    You made a post about learning to focus on totals starting in week 7, not before.

    Do you realize, your TOTALS were 5 games better (14-14) the first two weeks you started posting here than the last 2 weeks with your NEW filters (9-15)?

    And for the record, I am NOT hating on you.

    Do me one favor, please.

    Do not post a selection after the results of the game. On gambling boards, that is a big no-no. Simply void it off your spreadsheet.

    And maybe just post one page of selections---- each week you post picks, then Friday rolls around, and its new picks. Why not just wait until you are done tinkering?

    Do me one favor... produce something... then critique...

    Otherwise... go pound sand...

    What value do you add... I find it comical.... that you critique and add no value but critiquing.

    Okay. I'll go slower.

    I have a thread here. I PRODUCED 3 consecutive winning weeks.

    You are the ONLY poster here who has yet to produce ONE winning week.

    Not one.

    Time for a new filter---

    My point, said better than I could. Creating a thread highlighting 2 games when you are hitting at less than 40% seems a bit odd.
