You should post this in the Think Tank.

I have the software also and I think it will be difficult to do. On the O/U i have been using 2 formulas. Then print the report and play the ones that agree if there is a 15 point overlay. Still been working on the ATS.

Tweak,try starting with 20 games back this seems to be working fairly well as far as pr plays go.

Lunistic Tweak you might also want to watch the NBA+NCAAB exel pr spreadsheat picks thread.Peterpan19 posts pr plays from the sportrends exel sheat.Formulawiz updates plays from the sportends webpage.Both of these guys are familiar with software and do a great job getting guys up to speed with the sportrends software.BOL

Forget the forumulas just use the power rankings to make your plays. I've been using the PR since 11/15 using the criteria in the excel thread. YTD 23-11

Cash,
what plays do you use on the PR's. Overall, H/A etc. ??????????????

The software is a little different from the excel system. With the software it's home and away PR's only. I use the HA with a 2 point overlay. It's hitting a bit higher right now that it normally does but I'll take 60-62% for this season anytime. Definately worth the $50.

i bought the software but have been playing around with the formulas but want to get better at the PR's. So how many games do u go back and do you then take the PR's and calculate by hand.

Yeah 20 games back and calculate by hand.

Joe Dogs · 11-27-09, 04:50 PM

Soxrock,use 20 games back to calculate pr,s,then add or subtract the line for the game.......There must be a two point overlay for the game to be a play.......Go to the beginning of the NBA thread for the rest of the rules regarding plays.
