    Computer picks losers?

    I have been working on a program that makes my computer handicap games. I have been frustrated because the results have been horrible. SO HORRIBLE that I finally realized that fading my computer picks is the way to go!! Very small sample size but been doing well the last 10 days. Figured I would start a thread and see what happens.......

    Consistently picking losers is just as valuable as picking winners.

    3-5 yesterday. Stupid comp was actually a winner yesterday. Doesnt discourage me yet tho. First time Ive seen it win. 7-7-1 on this thread. Today will be challenging with so many games. Since he picks every game I will try to narrow it down.

    Seems the logical thing to do would be to find out why the results are so horrible. This is slapdash gambling.

    Building a system has two parts; simulating the picks you would want, and then being right. The first part is not so easy for a complex system (and it must be complex to work, else every man and his dog would be doing it).
