[JMon]

Can someone please be kind enough to translate the below query?

Average(margin@team and season)>=3

I believe you are after 'average margin of victory on the season is by 3 or more.'

[dmitean]

Not sure why you think the Best Bet is a contest- it was never intended to be (hence why I never put anyone in order for most units!!!); rather it is for us to have fun and track NBA SDQL 'Best Best' 2014-15 for ourselves and on-lookers. You're right, I won't waste another moment trying to explain, for accurate tracking, why your play wasn't documented as a SDQL play for that day. geez,lol .

Yeah, "contest" was a poor choice of words. Just didn't know how to name it properly...

yup thanks! I figured it out after I posted. Spent all day yesterday looking over the queries and whittling down what I personally think is useful. Hopefully that will show up in my best bet results.

Wow, damn lakers won in San Antonio straight up.

Nice hit Jmon! Small sample, but with that kind of record stretched over 3+ seasons it was def worth playing.

English:
Playing an away favorite that previously lost as an away favorite, with a line in that last game that indicated they should have won if they had played well. A typical bounce-back play, and it doesn't hurt much taking the Clippers on the road lately...

12/14/14 6:30am pst Reduced Basketball 813 San Antonio Spurs/Denver Nuggets Under 205 -105*

SDQL:

A and tA(assists) > oA(assists) and tA(rebounds) < oA(rebounds) and tA(FTA) < oA(FTA) and tA(blocks) > oA(blocks) and tA(FGP) > oA(FGP) and tA(TPP) > oA(TPP) and tA(TO) < oA(TO) and o:rest!=2 and season > 2006 and (194 > total or total > 198)

SDQL: English

Since 2006, 2 teams with different personalities defined by their season-long relative tendencies meeting today. SA excels in passing the ball with fewer turnovers, blocking more shots, and shooting a higher field goal percentage. Denver grabs more rebounds and has rested for any length of time besides 2 days. The total for the game is around 205, above the 198 stipulation of the query. These two teams should go under as sa's methodical disciplined approach to the game somewhat stunts den's capacity for grabbing rebounds and dashing to the other end of the court.

12/14/14 7:05pm Los Angeles Lakers -2½ -105 vs Minnesota Timberwolves

I'm seeing two distinct queeries pointing to the Lake show today.

SDQL:
#1) AF and P:season=season and (P:points in the paint)>(Po:points in the paint) and P:L and playoffs=0
#2) A and (tS(M2<=-10,N=5)>=3 or tS(M3<=-10,N=5)>=3 or tS(margin<=-10,N=5)>=3) and -0.5>= line>=-4.5 and playoffs=0

Translation to english
#1) Play away fav who's previous matchup against same team that season they had more points in the paint and still lost
#2) Play away team on a short fav line where they've been getting their ass kicked at the end of the half, 3rd qtr, or end of game for at least 3 out of the last 5 games. In this case it applies to end of game margin.

SDQL:

Translation to english:
Play the away team going against a team coming off of an overtime victory with no rest in the regular season.

Other comments:
Extra BONUS play...but not my official best bet... I also like the Hawks -2.5 based on this query:
p:AFL and pp:HFW and ppp:FW and season>2000 and playoffs=0 ... tweak it to fit this situation even more by adding " and 0>line>-3" and percentage really shoots up.

Well I hope I don't mush Heart's play but here goes. Play the away team who have covered in their last 4+ games and is a small to moderate underdog. Trend is even better if they covered in their previous matchup against their opponent.

[Heart]

Let's get it, Ronald!

[dmitean]

Today's queries - some are really nice I think:

80 Hawks -2.5
158 Under 196 in Toronto

126 Under 199 in Indiana
121 13 3 Boston -5 - very very mediocre (121)
96 Orlando +7
86 Under 209.5 in Phoenix - like it a lot
66 Over 206 in Philly

[nash13]

I like the Under for the Suns too. Waiting for odds movement to jump in.

I think there was a reason why I didn't document it, but don't recall..now. . Maybe cause the query you showed for the play wasn't active that day...I don't remember. Run it and see if it was and let me know.

[Heart]

how are totals trends doing as of late? I've completely avoided them since I started following along this thread since at one point they weren't doing so hot.

nash, you thinking that Suns total will go up before tip off?
