I'm obviously a newbie, but does anyone know where to get a good simulator without having to program one myself?

#5I do do my own homework. I was just looking for some extra tools. However I did expect toolbag responses from grown men trying to be internet bullies lol.Comment -

#7For it to have any value at all, you need to program it yourself. Building one isn't that difficult, however it does take time and you need to be meticulous about using good data and accounting for all the important factors.Comment -

#16Unfortunately that's what you get from a very vocal minority in the "think tank". Just ignore the "Living in Mon's Basement Gang" and eventually you'll get thoughtful, respectful answers. I thought it was a reasonable question.Comment -

#17Now *thats* a good one! I think you have to be at least 40 to appreciate how just how funny that is! I remember meticulously planning a play, positioning all the little Heisman-shaped plastic dudes to open up holes in the defense for another little Heisman to run through. Then you flick the switch, and all hell breaks loose! Like every player on both teams simultaneously getting tazed! A few of the guys tip over, a few more shimmy to the sidelines, and the rest go round in circles, the whole thing accompanied by a loud metallic whine. And God help you if you tried a pass! Ever tried throwing a tiny felt football accurately with a 1-inch tall plastic quarterback? Ah those were the days!Comment -

#18I have been looking into Prediction Machine, as so far records for 2 Seasons have been fairly decent.
At least worth a look.Comment -

#19Riffraff I build one a few years ago for NBA then as the season went on I did regression anaylsys and kept tweaking the formulas based on what was actually coming in. It took way too much time it once had an 11/11 night betting totals and once picked a big underdog to win outright but overall it was just slightly better than throwing darts. The stupid site I got my feeds from changed a format and I never got it going again. It was a fun project and one I hope to take up again but I don't have that kind of free time anymore.Comment -

#24Accuscore uses a simulator for handicapping sports. I doubt they would give you the one they use, even for a large price, but they may provide some help on finding a reatail simulator, or things to look for in ones that are marketed, if you can find any.
