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

    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.

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

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

    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?
