How far back do I go? 3 years? 2 years? And what parameters do I have to set for the coder..In other words, similar to Accuscore, I want to know
1. The win probability of a team against another team (moneyline)
2. The win probability of a runline (-1.5, -2.5)
3. The win probaility of a total (7, 8, 9)
Do I just tell him this stuff and he'll know what to do, or do I have to tell him specifically how to get this information? (Like do I have to tell him, you have to add up all the win totals for the team and blah blah)...I know this sounds like a stupid question, but I'm asking because I wouldn't know how to extract this information or create a program myself..I just know what I want, and I want something similar to Accuscore (even though I have no idea how they figure out their winning probabilities)
